Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw M.

volved many members of the teams of
the American league for their parti-

1917. Its ending was marked by re-

Dear Timothy-When observing the
new stadium at the corner of the
campus, it occurred to us that it is
admirably constructed for a marble
tournament. It is suggested that such
a tournament be held in connection
with the bridge, chess, and checker

SAY THAT AGAIN-SLOWER
Hay: The men' intercollegiate de-
hate class for the second semester,
according to an announcement made
in the Daily Bulletin will be "Re
solved: that legislative prescription,
disapproval, or prohibition of special
doctrines, theories, or data on the
comments of courses offered in edu-
cational institutions are contrary to
the public welfare."
Rolls should start a campaign
against such subjects; they are too
brief. A much superior subject would
be "Resolved :that the retention of

ture, by Vincent Wal
We have all beon fooling ourselves
in a grand way. It is all fake andIl
sham: our "theatrical[smn'" (a coited
ternm of Mr. Munson's which lie do-
fines as "an illegitimate child born{
of the theater and stage") has run
away with us all. And the trouble is
that our modern drama has lost a'I
creative tendencies; it is a mere stag-
ant repetition of plot, plot sequence
and situation.
Mr. Munson admits that "the art of
the theater" (the terminology he
swipes from Gordon Craig) is satifac-
Cory as a part of our literature-that
is the drama which we have definitely
committed to the classics. But he I
condemns the actual production; 'the
Limits imposed by the scenery, light-
ing, costuming, stage direction and
the acting itself are too much .for
the frail creations of our American
dramatists.
The solution is to confine the pro-
duction of our theater to our real ex-
periences-to make it the language
of our true fe lings.
Ie recommends the elimination c (:
all attempt at a preconcived plot.
This means that the cast would mouldf
the action along whatever lines the
moment might suggest. But of course
this is all the most fatuous idealism--
one of the most ridiculous Utopias
ever conceived. It would deny theI
actor all the gestures and vanities that
are the essence of the profession, and
in a trade where jealousy is the only
eternal consideration, the plan is man-I
ifestly impossible. At present the only
solution is the use of puppets, andf
this, again, is Gordon Craig's idea.
Otherwise ir. Munson tumbled few1
of our very sacred fetishe,. In fact
he regards our present drama with
apparent apathy. Eugene O'Neill is
our only man of power and John i
Howard Lawson's "Processional" with
its carefully prepared vignettes of
American life is the only significant
creation, outside the Moscow Art
Theater and other similar experiences.

"THE SHELF"
Beginning January 9 at the Garrick
theater, Frances Starr will return to
Detroit in Dorrance Davis' new com-
edy "The Shelf" which is of intereslt
for several reasons.
The first is that .hiss Starr is re-
turning to the stage after an absence
of three seasons. Th- second
is that for the first time in her
career she is not under the David Bc-
lasco management--William Fried-
lander is the financial sponsor forj

that very short space be-

We do not travel much on the
surface these days. If our minds
were a reflection of our trip
through a modern city, we should
be at once the most profound and
the most ethereal race in the
world.
The escalator and elevator carry
us from the subway to the sur-
face, from the surface to the ele-
vated subway. The baggage hoist
lifts our trunks from level to level.
We enter a building and mount to

almost abandoned the horizontal,

AFTER THE SQUALL
Though indicated previously, thej
reasons leading the government to
adopt its policy in the Nicaragua af-j
fair have now been clearly and min-
utely set forth by President Coolidge
and Secretary Kellogg of the State
departument. Documentary evidence
proving the shipment of arms from
Mexico to the Sacasa liberal forces in
Nicaragua and the existence of Bol-
shevistic plots against the United
States has been offered.
Without doubt, the government's in-
tervention in Nicaragua is justified
Two recent events that mark the
change of commercial aviation from
the stage on an ethereal dream to the
place where it is becoming a decided
adjunct to business are the recent
award of the year's service prize
given by the International League of
Aviators for 2,167 flying hours with-
out accident and the arrival of the
planes in the American "good willf
flight" squadron at Costa Rica with-
out accident.
The two things, the development of
pilots capable of long sustained flights
without tempting providence and
risking the cargoes and the planes,
university professors who think of I
propositions, debate subjects, resolu-
tions, or other nonsense as occult,I
hidden, befuddled, clouded, or ambig-
tuous as the recent effort, attempt, orl
pitiable gesture as the recently stated
debate subject, on the teaching staffs,
as debate coaches, or janitors in an
educational institution, university, or
insane asylum is contrary to the pub-
Ile welfare and a menace to students,
sensible people, and those who try
out for debating teams."

TinE Crs ELEVATOR must accept a great deal of the responsibility for the crowd-
ing of Nev York's sidewalks in the congested district. This seems fanciful but
nevertheless it is true. Newspapers and magazines continually deplore the in-
creasingly over-crowded condition of these sidewalks, due to the ever-increasing
licIglht of buildings. If it were not for the developments in the elevator industry
mae by the Otis Elevator Company as a pioneer, it would not have been pos-
sible to erect buildings of the stupendous heights which are now in vogue. It is
