The Cabinet has passed spe- cial measures for general relief. The Japanese are carrying on, rebuilding and building for the future. PoTs Every year in the springwhen the season seems to call for greater per- sonal freedom, a considerable number of freshmen labor under the delusion that the "pots" need be worn no long- er and that the traditional head cov- ering may be easily dispensed with or forgotten when not under the eye of the vigilantes. It seems painfully unnecessary to point out that the "pots" should be worn until Cap Night when they can be discarded with due ceremony into the traditional bonfire when the bar- rage of speeches has lifted. Lately the "pots" have been conspicuous for their absence, tritely speaking, and the Student council might well look into the matter. THE CLARION In the, merchandising convention now being held at Detroit the advan- tage of advertising in the settlement of credit problems and credit com- petition was stressed at great length and sensible advertising was proposed 1 as the cure for credit ills that now 4re attacking big business. Advertising has come to take its place in tle world of business and each day it is coming more and more to be accepted as a profession and to raise its standards to the standards of professional activity. Gone are the days when advertising was the "bally- hoo" of big business, when it was merely the "catch-all" of trad~e and was successful in relation to its abil- ity to make a huge profit by the use of high pressure methods. Now it is the means of building reputation and con- fidence in its integrity. Companies stand behind every statement and make every statement stand behind them. Advertising is the co-partner of big business, it is the link between the manufacturer and the market. As such, its words are of importance and it has much to say on the settlement of pioblems. It is an integral part of trade. UNIFIED FARM SAiLES Robert F. Wagner, United States senator from New York, believes that there should be instituted some agency for the purpose of unifying the buy- ing and selling of the farmer. He believes that the agency should be strong enough financially to preclude any necessity of selling at a sacrifice. Last of all, he states that the profits of the so-called middleman should be cut down, and transportation cheapen- ed by unification. On the whole, Senator Wagner is in favor of a strong monopoly of the food stuffs of the country. In the first place the formation of such a combination would be a direct antithisis of the spirit of the Anti- Trust law if it could evade its letter. If the agency were strong enough to withhold supply until a rise in price, the change in price level would ma- terially change the natural workings of the business cycle, for the worse. As for the statement in favor of cut- ting down the profits of the middle- man, this actually sounds silly. If the profits were cut down, the middle- men would drop out of the business and all the risk would immediately fall upon the farmer. When this hap- pens we may all expect a great de- crease in our farm production, for if the farmer had to assume the risk for his crop he could not afford to grow it. In the case of transportation costs, they can not be very excessive or the railroads would make more money. If Senator Wagner suggests an agency in place of the middle- men, his point is not clear. It is like substituting a hat pin for a plain pin in order to prick a balloon. TOASTED ROLL CARTA The University's Magna Carta was issued yesterday. It admits that "theater owners should realize that a University town is not the same as other types of cities." We agree. Other towns are roligher and more disorderly. * * * It is this document that ushers in, the beginning of a new era. No longer will there be riots and rushes. No1 longer will some students go to the; hospital and others to, the jail. Therej will be peace and calm. IF......and there it comes, again, that "IF." If, Butterfield swings wide the gates to; celebrate big victories WITH his customers, instead of AGAINST them. * * * One section of the Magna Carta asks that students be more orderly in gain- ing entrance to the second shows: "the 8:40 rush." But the joke is that the rushes are no more! The entrance to the Maj. Thursday night at 8:40 looked like the crowd that would gather for a philosophy lecture if roll weren't going to be taken. By the time any resolution gets published around here it is a month out of date. * * * President Little favors free shows for students when big victories are being celebrated. If lie brings them -about, we hope lie gets a chance to get in himself. We'll see that they save you a seat in the front row at the first free show, Prexy. * * * Come to think about it, we can't re- member seeing the President at the Music and Drama TONI(RhIT: The Nimes present haret Capek's uniique 11elodramaIl "1..

It is true that in musical comedy there need ever be a well tempered juxtaposition of song-and-dance with the humor and romance of the book, but without the latter element it would be impossible to ever create a success in dollars and cents. This year "Eight 'till Eight," the twenty-third annual Junior Girls' play, which will be given in the Whit- ney theater from Tuesday night through Saturday with a Saturday matinee has the unique privilege to PLEASE DON'T MAKE PATHS ON THE i I (i (S I i I i 1 } I 1 Edgeworthi makes ladies prefer, .pipe-smokers -=G R AHJ.yAAFsTS = -s- Saturday Special. - LOOSE LEAF NOTE BOOK WITH PAPER i ~GRAHAATS At Both Ends of the Diagonal - .-tlIliIIIITlIItII1ll1IlI1itlli ~______________________________________ ______________________________ _______ _______ .. .. ..r . a i r Candy or Tobacco It is very convenient at times to be able to run in to our store between classes or on your way to or from the campus and find candy, tobacco, maga- zines, and many other things which you may have occasion to want. RALPH'S . U READ THE WANT ADS , , :w. _ : 6 }Vy b 4 r w" . . : A FAIR STATEMENT The statement issued on theaterl rushes by President Clarence Cook Little, Joseph A. Bursley, dean of stu- dents, and three police commissioners gives a fair and complete summary of the conditions concerning the disturb- ance of Monday night, as well as of pre- vious ones, and makes helpful sug- gestions toward bettering relations between the' students and the local theaters. After reviewing the duties and at- titudes which should be observed by the police and the students, its authors endorse the idea of "free" shows folb lowing important athletic victories as a policy "to the advantage of all con- cerned." It is also wisely suggested that "while negotiations are being carried on and after they have been completed, the students will be ex- pected to act in a reasonable and law abiding manner." Any conduct con- trary to this spirit, or detrimental to the rights and interests of the thea- ters will distinctly hamper the efforts of the commniittee now seeking to set- tle the difficulties. Likewise, attention is called to the inexcusable crowding and jostling by which students attempt to enter the theaters at general performances. The formation of a double line is advocated as a substitute of "a pushing mob blocking all sidewalk traffic at the en- trance of the theater." There is no reason why students should not co- operate in this respect. Their more orderly action would indicate a better spirit and would be a safeguard against injuries now attendant to the pressure of the mob. JAPAN\ESE EARTHQUAKES The rapidly .rising death list due to the recent earthquake which shook the Mineyama district and others of Japan. brings home again the tre-. mendou danger to life and property under' which. many Japanese live. Hardly a year goes by without some major disaster of this sort, necessitat- ing the rebuilding of homes, commer- cial establishments, and the expondi- ture of vast sums for relief purposes. And were it not for the courageous character of the ruined Japanese in the devasted districts the effects of the earthquakes would be far greater' than it usually is. Each time the Japanese rebuild, local theaters. Maybe he would fig- I ure they were worth going to if he got a pass.

Practically everything haG been said about this show, that can be. But it seemed to take the campus a week to find out that the critics were really right in their praise. At the present it could last into next week if "Eight 'till Eight" didn't interfere. And "R. U. R." really is exceptional entertainment. As a drama it is of the best, and contains a pleasant con- tradiction of satire and melodrama. The only thing that might be criticized here is the epilogue which doesn't seem to belong. After all it is-an an- tique and obsolete device, and seems hardly necessary. The acting and direction contrib- ute most to the success. Charles Livingstone is easily the best juvenile the campus has seen in years, and Robert Wetzel the best in character work.
