HERALD "Because business is big it is not necessarily a menace., The justification of big business is that it serves the public more efficiently than many small busi-1 nesses could d« in that particular line. Higher wages and reduced costs of products result from in- creased organization in industry. That is the secret of our success in America. President Coolidge! has pursued a clear, consistent{ course and has made it clear that lihe will not interefere with legiti- mate business merely because it is big, but desires business and industry, so far as it is possible, shall work out their own prob- lems provided they conform strictly to law."-Secretary Mel- lon in a radio address to the elec- tric convention at Atlantic City. EFFICIENCY AT GENEVA In movements for the furtherance of world peace, emphasis seems to have been placed upon the creation and adoption of arbitration boards and covenants. Apparently, tittle credence has been placed in the fact that added security may be gained byj increasing the use and efficiency of the institutions already created. Al reversal of this 'tendency, however, may be seen in the suggestion made to the drafting committee of the Ge- neva disarmament conference that in- creased powers to stop war be given to the League of Nations. Specif tally, the proposal provides that the League council be authorized to impose an armistice between bel- ligerent powers as soon as a conflict starts. This suggestion is very po- tent in view of the terrible results which were incurred during more than four years of world conflict be- fore an armistice was signed in No- vember, 1918. Further proof of the practicability of this scheme may be seen in the quick settlemement of the recent Greeco-Bulgarian conflict, in which the parties ceased hostilities at the request of the council. It has also been aptly suggestedj that action on the part of the League should not require a unanimous coun- cil vote, but that " the burden of unanimity should rest rather upon; the nation who pretends that an ag- gression has not been committed. This precaution would undoubtedly be1 ing the efficiency of one peace cove- nant, this recommendation will fur- ther enhance" world security in pro- viding for the limitation of arma- ments. CONVOCATIONS One of the encouraging features of the academic year now drawing to a close has been the support and gen- eral acceptance accorded the series of Sunday convocations sponsored! by the Student council. Concluding its administration, the outgoing Coun- cil will probably recommend that the. services be continued next year and leave for the decision of the new bodyt just what kind of a program shall be carried out. Although considerable weight can be given to the fact that the series just concluded has been a success in spite of the predictions of a few cynics, the nature of a program for 1926-1927 is deserving of far more than ordinary consideration. A failure would bring to nothing the progress already made. It must be remnem- bered that the nine months of the school year are crammed with varied activity. When the football season is over Christmas vacation follows, and after that examinations. It is not long until Easter week and then- spring athletics. One cannot disre- gard the realities, these factors must be considered. A convocation each Sunday of the year would probably result in apathy and indifference. Even a service twice a month might seem too frequent for success. The regular church-goers among the students and faculty are drawn, ordinarily, to the denomina- tional churches. With these facts in mind, it would appear that a monthly convocation, concluded with a weekly series in the month of May, would be the most practical and successful pro- gram. With infrequent Sunday serv- ices and addresses by outstanding men, the comprehensive program for next year might be made as stimulat- ing to interest in religion and re- ligious thinking as the series of con- vocations inaugurated by the Coun- cil a month ago. Twenty nations are to be represent- I ed at a film conference next fall, at which time producers will further standardize the "happy endings." Berlin police are to wear straw hats this year. But they aren't going to start the season until hot weather really gets here. CH1IMPAN.1ZEES PNITIATE No very serious casualities resulted from yesterday's initiation ceremonies of Chimpanzees, honorary Rolls so- ciety. Most of the candidates will be out of the hospital by next week, the doctors report.{ After being forced to listen to the whole May Festival series, the victims were taken yesterday to the Union tower, where they were tossed down, one by one, to the ground. Those that were able to go on were then taken to a philosophy lecture for an hour. And from there the sur- vivors were dragged into the Law building, where they were compelled to jump up and down on the shaky floors. After a nerve-racking half hour of this, the candidates tiptoed down the stairs, and were soon at their next task. This was to count the dogs on the campus. One by one they finished this and were taken to the Huron river, where they were ordered to swim up through the dam spillway. Several came out successfully. Two were missing, and may have been drowned. This ,concluded the afternoon's do- ings, the candidates going home to prepare for the next task, which was to get into a "closed" fraternity dafhce. The names of the surviving neo- phytes will be published in tomor- row's ROLLS, when their initiation manuscripts will appear. Various subjects have been assigned, and in order to enter the society the candi- date must submit a discursion on his assignment. So far, the Time News hasn't to our knowledge come out 'with an apology to Henderson for mixing his name up with a musical event, when they ran that headline about his hit in the May Festival. * * * This industrial research group that is to work In Detroit factories this summer will come back with plenty of evidence In favor of doing some- thing else next summer.

There is still an impression of open tone scales, moods, close harmonies and saxophones. The evening could not help but be interesting, such a Variety, such innovations and the most fascinating of all, original com- positions played for the first time. The program consisted of two parts, the first included selections of stand- ard composers and the second, the original works of Mr. Andrew Haigh's students. In the opening group, Miss Saime Mouhidden's playing easily stood out as the best feature. The Chopin "Etude No. 4" was well rendered. There is much octave work, with the right hand carrying the theme and a weaving in and out of chords in the left hand. The "En Automne" by Moszkowski was well adapted to bring out her technical skill. But the real treat came in the last part of the program. There was an air of expectancy and somewhat of doubt as to what the reslts would be. The modern trend in musical develop-l ment was well illustrated in several of these numbers. Of the piano selec- tions, played by the composers, Miss Elizabeth Davies' "Nocturne" was the most delightful. In this selection she has used the whole tone scale to good advantage. Mr. Joseph Ellis' "Im- promptu" also deserves p'raise. Mr., Royden Susumago's composi- tions, a violin and piano number, "Berceuse" and "Moods," a song for a tenor voice, which included a violin obligato were somewhat striking, ecstatic and moody. Mr. Charles Wol- cott's three selections for the unusual combination of two saxophones, violin, trombone and piano, triumphed in the realm of the fantastical. The original idea included a trumpet instead of aI violin which would have added a great deal in producing the proper effect. One thinks of Gershwin or of a white- man orchestra when listening to, this group. Only one schooled in "Jazz" could write anything of this sort. It consisted of queer four part harmonies, unique themes first played by the saxophones then the trombone.

THE FESTIVAL IN EVANSTON j Several of the artists who appeared in the Ann Arbor May Festival are also performing in the North Shore Festival which is being held in Evans- ton this week. At the opening last night, Marie Sundelius, of the Metro- politan Opera company, who sang with the Choral Union in the "Elijah," appeared in Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise," and in Henry Hadley's "The New Earth," with Alma Peterson and Vernon Williams. The second concert tonighht will be a Tschaikowsky performance, with Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the voluptuous conductor of the Dertoit symphony, playing the B flat minor concerto at the piano with Mr. Stock and his or- chestra. Evanston is assured . of a successful festival with the Chicago Symphony. There is enough artistic merit and spirit in that organization to carry the whole six concerts. Thursday night the stupendous) Martinelli, whose performance in Ann Arbor was the outstanding event of the Festival, will be the soloist. There will be no concert Friday, the fourth number of the series being the Young People's matinee Saturday afternoon, with Sylvia Lent as the leading art-' ist in a Saint-Saens and Mendelssohn! concert. The festival chorus of 600 voices under the direction of Dean Peter C. Lutkin, will present the Brahms Ger- men Requiem Monday night, with. Mabel Garrison and Boris Saslawsky in the leading roles. i j f 3 I I i i k I I i k E PLEASE MAKE PATHS ON THE CAMPUS All popular Brogue models on dIsplay at GUY WOOLFOLK & CO. 836 South State Street Ann Arbor, Mich.
