LitheCTO ER , 2 " TI 1URFIl I, OCTOBER 1, 1925 The problem or defending the United States from a possible air at- tack in case of war is now holding the attention of the people of the country to an extent that has no precedent in the annals of aviation, due largely to the vocal bombard- iments of the energetic Colonel Mit- chell, who is daily coveriig Washing- ton with a barrage of charges, rang- ing from plain incompetency to gen- eral boneheadedness on the part of the chiefs of the air service. If the claims of the fire eating colonel are proved to be substantially correct, Lhere is a serious defect in the defene plans of the United States and it be;omes increasingly import-, ant to determine just what resistance could be offered in the event of an invasion by air. With the breakdown of the incompetent 'my and navy air fprces, the prolem -of defense would be left in the hanIs of the peace-time aviators of the United States, and here we find a record that is a cheer- ful contrast with that published by Colonel Mitchell in regard to the military service. The United States has the largest number of -civilian aviators in the world, many of whom are veterans of the World war-and this list is growing annually, due to the develop- ment of commercial aviation in this country. In 1924, seventy per cent of the world's recordls in aeronautics were held by Americrn flyers. The United States Air 11,.il srvice ranks far ahead of any othr line of peace- time aviation, either here or in Europe. Its service covers the long- est air-line in the world and it has no equal for continuous day and night flying. There is no record of arti- filially light airways or scheduled night fliihts anywhere else in the world. The transportation of passengers by air has not been developed here as it h in Europe, where the Lon- don-l'arr' air passenger service has long been established and where other lii; are rapidly being formed. How v(r, iany proposed air lines are now under way and will soon have another group of planes available for , work in case of emergency. . 1 :5 N ght I EO ARD C.

Suppose something you rarely think of makes radically low prices for even the fine quality diamonds possible. Suppose this all were offered by the largest and oldest diamond banking institution in all the world. ' Wouldn't you be passing up a real opportunity or having one dear to you wear a sparkling gem of fiery brilliance. Or, wearing one yourself as a reflection of your own prestige or standing."' Above letter was received by one of our friends recently. It really doesn't strike you until you read it over a few times. Then it arouses your curiosity. It's a mighty clever letter. This business about something you rarely think of, for instance. Now what can that be? There are lots of things we rarely think of; the sewage system of Seville, for example. Now we hardly ever really think of that, yet we can hardly imagine how that can bring diamonds down to $60 per carat. We never knew that you bought diamonds by the carat. We understood it was by the stone. We don't see what they would do if a man ordered seven carats o diamonds and the only stones they had were jsix and three carats each. It would be something like these psy- chological tests; except that you can't pour a diamond from one pail to an- other. And how do you bank dia- monds? We've heard of wearing and swallowing them but not banking them. It seems to us that that is something they do to roads, Another new thought is this business about wearing a diamond as a reflection of your prestige and standing..... Ac- cording to that Coolidge should wear the biggest diamond in the country, and so on down. But we doubt that the President wears a sparkling gem of fiery brilliance, as the letter so poetically puts it. The insidious part of that letter is it gets your curiosity all worked up! If we read that once more we are go- ing to send for a half a carat's worth of diamonds just to find out about these things. * * * Iehabod writes us to suggest that re. these new courses in Polish the University should offer Fdnnish as well. He gives as a reason some- thing about a Finnishing as well as a Polishing school...... It's pretty aw- ful but we hate to discourage begin- ners. We don't approve of teaching Polish anyway. We think the house-maids should be taught English instead...... even though it would be harder. * * * Just to show that we have the right idea about this faculty board we are about to repeat one of the stories which a member of the esteemed faculty tells. He claims that while motoring this summer his life was enriched by the following gem of dialogue: PROF: (While stopping for Gas) "How far is, it to Quebec?" GAS MAN: "Quebec? Why you ain't half way there yet." PROF: "Is that so?" GAS MAN: "Yes, why you won't be half way till you get to Pen- tonville." PROF: "Half way from where?" GAS MAN: "Why half way from here, of course." * * * LIMERICKS III There was a young student named Ptowers Who in study spent all of his hours But the strain was too great And failed to cheat fate Now he's six feet beneath pretty flowers.

They call it "Naughty Riquette," why, 1 really don't know. Riquette is a very sweet telephone operator, quaintly enough, not at all saucy or wicked as the title might suggest. You know she is a good little girl the moment she appears on the, stage, for she sings a pathetic ballad about "Dear Little Brother of Mine." .. . Mitzi plays the part of the girl who supports an adopted brother. She loses her job, and in a moment of desperation promises to become a conspirator in a plot far too compli- cated to mention here. It is har4 to find a new adjective for this little star. She has been called inimitable, lovely, diminutive, dainty; and I find myself heartily agreeing with these descriptions. She is much of every- thing-comedienne, dancer and sing- er, She can laugh and cry easily, and her adoring public cry and laugh with her. A young Englishman, Lupino Lane, is making his American debut as an all around office boy, detective, and man about town. He is an excellent co-star for Mitzi. I cannot think of any of our comedians who have the combined personality and bag of tricks that Mr. Lupino has. His per- formance calls for every enthusiasm. Oscar Straus, composer of Viennese waltzes, completes the trio. His mu- sic adds a touch of opperetta to the piece. The numbers range all the way from bright marching tunes to the higher type of love song, and all good. Also a word of praise for Sey- mour Felix for his unusually clever dance arrangements; the chorus for its fine sense of rythm Alexander Gray, a capable hero with a real voice, and a young man and woman who sing the song hit, "Someone" in blackface. I wish all musical com- edies were as bright and gay and tuneful as "Naughty Riquette." THE ORGAN RECITAL A review, by Kenneth Wickware. One can overlook the creaky eccen- tricities of the old organ, and the in- cessant coughing, and the rustling of programs in the audience; there in the mellow half-light one can forget those things that should be forgot- ten. With the powerful strains of Maitland's "Concert Overture" we are in mood . . . there are but few vacant seats today. The, professor's assignment leaves our mind; swell- ing, fading, the impressive chords quite fill the vast auditorium . . then presently we are watchmin Madame Butterfly kneeling at the window of her house, looking out across the sea-curiously enough, we may be great some day. * * * THE CHORAL UNION SERIES---VI. e t -t Cecilia Hansen Miss Hansen is a Russian of Danish ancestry, one of the Slavic immortel- les that include Stanislavsky, Chalia- pin, Soudekine and Baskt. "A younger sister of the spiritual Heifetz," Gil- bert Gabriel calls her, "a violinist who looks like a Greek goddess and plays as one inspired." Along with Geiseking, she is the most interesting artist to appear in Ann Arbor this year. "APPLESAUCE" Mr. McIntyre is presenting Barry Conners' "Applesauce" at the- Whit- ney theatre Saturday and Sunday evening, October 3 and 4. The play is a comedy of middle-class America, much after the manner of "TheI Show-Off," I believe, and is shortly toE open on Broadway after a, surprising success in Chicago.
