THE MICHIGAN DAILY"
TUESDAY, DECEMIBER 1, Ie
000 public utility transfer 15 years
ago is quite superfluous. In the cam-
paign leading up to a special election,
this incident was thoroughly investi-
gated. With the facts placed clearly
before them by both parties, the peo-
ple of Maine elected Mr. Gould by theI
largest majority ever given to a sen-
atorial candidate in that state. In
Aroostook county where the transfer
was made, he led by a nine to one
vote.
Even enterprising senators, it
seems, should learn that "there is a
time and place for everything"-par-,
ticularly for disproved rumors.
DETROIT'S POPULAR SPORT
One of the most popular sports in
Detroit these days is passing on ru-
mors as to just what Henry Ford is
going to do in the automobile field-
and others.,
One day he is going to establish a
Toledo-Detroit trolley line or receive
the Nobel prize for his ill-fated voy-j
age on the Oscar II back in 1915, on1
another Willys-Overland officials are
going to cooperate with him in build-
ing a new trick super-six or for effi-
ciency's sake Henry is going to emu-
late John McGraw of the New York
Giants and remove the shirt tails of
all his workers.
The number and variations of these
rumors surpasses all human under-
standing. If Henry had followed out
a tenth of them he would have been
in the poorhouse ten years ago.
Several bills introduced into the
House this session have proposed that 1
postmasters retain office without term.
Although these measures will prob-
ably not be enacted this session, their
discussion can lead public opinion to
demand such reforms.

THE DETROIT SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA
A Review by Philip Brooks
They say that Igor Strawinsky has
a concerto for the piano in which thej
brasses and drums are used almost
exclusively. Such a rumor is fright-
ening. But the beautiful "Procession
of Princesses" and "Lullaby" of his
"Firebrand" suite leave an impres-
sion quite contrary to that fear. They
are exquisite.
The strange harmonies which were
to characterize his later works are

THE FACULTY CONCERT
A Review by Margaret Ricker
One short hour and a half under
the influence of celestial Christmas
music at Hill auditorium was enough
to make one realize how empty the
ordinary interpretation of the Yule-
tide season has become.
Mr. Christian was entirely capable
of doing complete justice to the ex-
ceedingly varied program he pre-
sented. Probably the most appreciated
and enjoyed was the Pastorale
(Sonata I) by Guilmant-a uniquef
study in contrasts. The clear piping
