CHAMBERLIN 'THE BAND AND BALTIMORE This. year, In connection with the football game with the Naval academy at BtitIne on Qct 30, there is an. >1nilusta1 ortttnilty for an organiza- tion that i eies seant credit for its Work to perform a great service for the: Univesity. The Michigan Band has received invitations to play at the Sesquicentenial exposition at Phila- delphia, the Michigan alumni reunion, and elsewhere in the East, as well as to Compete, with the famous Navy band on the football field. Yet for financial reasons the band may not be able to go. It I s seldom that Michigan teams play in the East. When they do, the University* ought to transport to the East " the "trimmings" that make games in Ann Arbor truly "Michigan." No football game can represent the Unversity that does not open with the strains of "The Victors"-played by Michigan's own band. Publicity. of the wrong kind spreads easily; publicity of the right kind is hard to get. The only Michigan or- ganization now appearing regularly in the East is the Union opera, and the good work that it is doing for the University will be greatly augmented by the appearance at Baltimore and Philadelphia of the "fighting band." Alumni of the East have an oppor- tunity to do the University a concrete service by giving the necessary funds to insure the band's appearance. To a true Michigan graduate,-"The Vic- tors" played by the Varsity band at the Navy classic should be worth every dollar entailed. The University would benefit greatly; alumni in the East should assist in making the trip a possibility. THE TRUST COMPENSATES In many respects the formation of the European iron and steel trust be- tween Germany, France, Belgium, and Luxemburg is one of the most prom- ising and significant signs in the econ- omical and political recovery of the contiztent.' Coming significantly after the mu- tual pledge of friendship between France and Germany by Premier Bri- and and' Foreign Minister Stresemann,j the completion of this consortium is of great political importance In' coupling these two hereditary enemies into a large and influential business combination. The very fact that Ger- many was willing to reduce her pro- duction from 70 to 75 per cent of theI present figures, and that Belgium wass method of alleviating the economicI dangers which would result from the competition of rival concerns flooding the European market at impossibleI prices. Undue price raising, an evil of some combinations, is practically impossible by this consortium because of the potential as well as already; established competition of the Eng- lish and American producers in the European market.1 In the latter connection, the forma- tion of this steel merger seems toi reveal a German policy of combining1 her own industries with similar en- terprises in, other continental coun- tries, with the view of meeting Eng-; lish and American competition, and of re-establishing her pre-war indus- trial position. Already, a billion dol- lar dye trust and a host of other com- binations in various fields have been fornged. Because of their present relative weakness and their greater interest in the continental markets, British manufacturers will undoubtedly bear the brunt of the competition from these mergers. American steel lead- ers, notably Judge Gary of the United States Steel corporation, have indi- cated little fear of the steel merger just'formed. With the total steel pro- duction of the United States more than three times that of the European nations, their stand is obviously more than mere bravado. In the 'other in- dustixies, however, both American domestic and foreign trade may suffer. Nevertheless, the increased world prosperity dependent upon the im- provement of European conditions twill compensate any partial or temp- orary loss. LESS WORK-MORE PAY Opinions differ on the practicability of Ford's new five-day working week plan. Harvard economists differ as to its feasibility. Prof. William Rip- ley declared that "Mr. Ford is a prac- tical man, and if people are offered an incentive, it stands to reason that they will work all the harder." Prof. Thomas Carver believes the plan an excellent way to cut down production -an end directly opposite from that desired by Mr. Ford. Prof. Arthur Monroe pointed out that the Ford in- dustries are not typical, and hence he did not take a definite stand one way or the other.. The essence of the Ford plan lies in the fact that such workmen as are deserving will receive as much for the five days as they formerly did for six. Naturally this will stimulate all em- ployees at first, but it is only a question of time before a large number will be satisfied with five days' pay. A great -many men are not diligent and they are the ones who will pay dearly for the "holiday." If Ford' can get six days' work turned out in five, it will be greatly to his advantage, but hu- man nature must be taken into con- sideration. Men, as a class, who have been doing a certain amount of work a day for a number of years, will con- tinue to do the same amount. Some, of course, will be energetic enough to' strive for an increase-but not all, Ford is concerned with this matter from an economic point of view only, and its success depends on the num- her of men who will work harder for more pay. This entails ,selection-- some men will probably be dismissed while others take their places. There is not the least element of "big heart- edness" in the whole project, as some sentimentalists would have us believe. An extra holiday will be used to ad- vantage by some-undoubtedly a min- ority. But Ford is not concerned with that. He hopes to promote effi- ciency, and a five-day week is worth giving a trial. THE WEAKER TEAM On Saturday a courageous and sturdy group of football players came to Ferry Field to play what is gener- ally conceded to be one of the strong- est university teams in the country. They came from a small school, which doesn't afford them the privilege of a large coaching staff, an immense in- door gridiron, and a studentbody of thousands from which to choose their team and they met a squad that was picked from one of the half dozen largest student bodies in the country. Opposing them were at least two-all- American players and several more who have obtained mention on mythi- cal elevens throughout the country. The result was inevitable; the score alone attests to their game fight in the face of tremendous odds. This team from the South gave Michigan one of the best practice games for an opener that, it has had in years. It gained nothing from the contest but the possible satisfaction of holding Michigan to a lower score than some of her other opponents may be able to do. There-is little glory for a team from a practice game, and there is little for the Oklahoma men but the satisfaction of having played the best game of which they were heartbreaking struggle with Harvard in which Maulbetsch gained more yards than the entire Harvard team, and at the end of the game was forced' to admit defeat. He is a Michigan man, the spirit of the scrappy south- erners was something very close to a Michigan spirit, let us hope; a spirit that never admits defeat until the final whistle and that is not ashamed to be beaten by a better team. The spirit of the weaker team from Oklahom A and M. was a tribute to intercollegiate' football and the educational system which it represents. Michigan is proud to have had these men for her guests.. A FLYING COP Last year, through the efforts of our local state representative, the leg- islature at Lansing passed a law mak- ing it an offense to fly over the Uni- versity of Michigan stadium at an al- titude of less than 1,500 feet. Satur- day at Ferry field, with more than 20,000 people in the stands, an air- plane did the usual circling and steep banking at 500 feet above the grid- iron. The question is, nov that we have the law, what are we going to do with it? The logical thing to do, of course, is to enforce it. The offender Saturday was kind enough to let the authorities know who he was by having his name paint- ed on the bottom of his plane. That will not prevent other aviators, under the present conditions, from coming long distances with unindentified planes, and flying over the stadium at a low altitude with the state police unable to do anything except sit on their sideline seats and look on. We have the law, now we need the enforcement, and by that is meant the appointment of an airplane policeman or "flying cop" to keep the lives of football enthusiasts from being en- dangered every Saturday afternoon. After Henry Ford voluntarily re- duces the working week for his em ployees to five days a week, the American Federation of Labor splur- ges forth with the announcement that it has scored another victory for the working man. Why Poincare chose the disabled veterans as the audience for his fiery speech is a mystery. Most of them couldn't fight i they had to.

S. GLENCAIRN" POSTPONED The dates of. the Eugene O'Neill cycle of sea plays which was to initi- ate the campus dramatic season in the University have been changed from October 12, 13 and 14 to October 19, 20 and 21. The latter dates were neces- sitated because of an unavoidable con- flice with the Elsie Janis recital in Hill auditorium on Wednesday, Octo- ber 14. Rehearsals for the show will con- tinue as usual and the only result will be the one week's delay of the official opening of the Mimes theater, since it is Mimes tradition that a produc- tion by that organization should in- augurate the season in that theater. * *s Two &Complet College Stores Qraham'$ Both Ends of The Diagonal Walk V I' GARRICK DETROIT .

Dancing every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 11 THE THERMOMETER OF THE WHITELIGHTS Like Wall street, Broadway subsists on rumor. In the spring, from out of the way one night stands in Jersey and Connecticut come hints of the coming season; and the street buzzes with gossip. How did "The Bedroom Slipper" look when it opened in Rockville Center? Did "The New Sa- lome" get across in Asbury Park? "Hester's Affairs" will never be aired in New York; "The Delight That Failed" looks like big money. The rush for a play that is rumored to be a hit is a complete analogue to the flurry that takes place downtown when General Motors jumps. And the play that caused the most heart fail- ui'e to date and which in the argot of the profession "clicked" unmis- takeably is the George Abbott and Philip Dunning "Broadway," which showed anything but promise in the script; and the rather frantic bidding indicates something like the attitude that preceded the "Able's Irish Rose" premier. As it is Crosby Gaige and Jed Harris will produce the show. The settling indicates something novel: the scenes are in a night club and the entire action takes place dur- ing the performance of a midnight re- vue. The play is a curious mixture of the romantic and the sinister and the characters are gun-men and babes in the wood. One of the most ludicrous scenes is that between an ambitious young dancer in the cabaret uproar- ously played-so the, Atlantic City critics thought-by Lee Tracy and the girl who works with him done by Sylvia Field. The scene takes place in their dressing room during a cost- ume change and the sight of a young man making love on a lofty plane while in his underwear and the prili- sophical reflections of a young lady in her teddy caused a commotion in the Atlantic City showing. There is some- thing peculiarly appealing in Ladies lingerie anyway. i .._ __ i rlrp4r , - 1 '' I J' S ;, F I'. Rebuil Typewriter All Makes Fully Guaranteed. NEW COONA- Easy Terms if Desired.

I EDITORIAL COMMENT I WHAT $100,000 BUYS (The Grand Rapids Herald) Yesterday's news announced that Robert Patterson Lamont of Lake Forest, Illinois, has contributed $100,- 000 to the million dollar fund to build the "Women's League Building" at the University of Michigan. That an- nouncement carried an indescribable thrill to thousands of loyal "Michigan" women up and down America. With a fidelity to their Alma Mater that puts "mere males" in the shade, these "Michigan" women have been strug- gling for two years to raise the "mil- lion" that shall crown Ann Arbor's campus with a central focus for women comparable with the great "Michigan Union" for men. Its need is an indisputable challenge if "equal rights", in education shall be ade- quately served at the premier State University in America. Its need is a social, a moral, a physical and a scholastic necessity. "Michigan's" women-the graduates of yesterday, the undergraduates of today-know the realities of this challenge. They have answered it with yeoman faith and labor. They have worked-as only women will-to raise the neces- sary "million" by a painful process of slow accretion. They have had a modest mete of friendly outside aid, but no previous "big gifts" of size. By implacable toil, they have piled their totals well on toward the three- quarters mark. They must finish, un- der the rules of the Regents, within another year. The impetus-the cheer -contributed by Robert Patterson La- mont's $100,000 is beyond calculation. It is one of the worthiest benefactions ever announced. It is more than a richly deserved stimulus to a rare crusade; it is a vivid benediction- (and this particularly appeals to us) CARTWHEELS IN AMERICAN MUSIC Sir Henry Wood, the famous Eng- lish orchestra leader doesn't think so much of American conductors-except his dear friend Walter Damrosch, and he is a paragon. Back from fresh triumphs in the Hollywood Bowl, Sir Henry recently gave his none too fa- vorable opinion of our orchestra lead- ers: they are sensation lovers and have a weakness for stunts; we flock to see the new antics of a conductor and to see the first viloins. "Always excepting my friend Walter Dam- rosch," Sir Henry says. "He gives the New York Symphony a sound well-balanced menu, and that is the very reason he doesn't get the credit he should." Sir Henry's recommendation is that Mr. Gabrilowitsch, Mr. Stock, Mr. Stokowski, and the others must avoid repeating their programs. They should do Cesar Franck's "Les Djinns," De F'alla's "Three-Cornered Hat" and Honeger's "Pacific 231;" avoid all trite possibilities in choice of num- bers. As for his own programs Sir Hen- ry's audiences follow them with un- questioning devotion. There accept- ance of some of his "novelties" is more polite than cordial-they certainly were not above hissing the. cacaphony of Schoenberg, but they know that Sir Henry behind the brass rail in Queen's Hall means new territory to be ex- plored before the evening ends. But Sir Henry likes jazz; he dotes on it. However it is a retrogression. "Syncopation is nothing new and itsf Frat *Watch Ann Arbor Brow1I ,ernities -'Ox onriti Are Considering a New Location?
