THE RIGHT MIETHOD) Continuing his policy of making non-political appointments to diplo- l matic posts, President Coolidge has granted three more ministerial posts to men long trained in the foreign service. These selections bring , to a totg l of 15 the *diplomatic career appoint- ments which President Coolidge hys made as compared with 10 politic 1 choice . They have very evidently been made in accord with the spirit of the Rogers act of 1924, which 'pro- vided among the various improve- ment* in the consular and diplomatic service that the Secretary of State give the President from time to time the names of members of the service who have demonstrated their fitness for promotion to the grade of min- ister. The President's hearty response to this suggestion should be very satis- fying to the men seeking to make the diplomatic service their life work, as it should be satisfactory to the nation which will thus be well represented ,abroad. Likewise, it should be quite satisfying to the President by increas- ing the public esteem for his admin- istrative abilities, and by enabling him to avoid the political emnity which might come from many candi- dates after the political appointment of a few. TO~sE~ OLL We are pleased to announce that The Daily editorial side is to play' the business boys in a game of base-, ball in the near future. It used to be a tradition years ago, but the business side lost so often that they refusedj to continue it. * * a Wisconsin is to debate here Friday j night on some question about legis-, lative control of courses offered in1 colleges. The resolution as stated is1 long enough, but the original one wast worse yet. It ran like this: "Resolved, That legislative pre- scription, disapproval or prohibition; of special doctrines, theories, or data on the contents of courses offered in1 Educational institutions are contrary, to public welfare." e * * * It would be rather difficult to keep ' a subject like that in mind so that you would know when the debaters got off the subject. * * * SMusic and Drama ?i _ i_ _ THIS AFTERNOON: The Organ Re- cital in Hill auditorium at 4:15 o'clock.

PHELPS TIME TO ACT After futilely waiting for Congress to devise some constructive action in regard to the Great Lakes-St. Law- rence waterway, Secretary Hoover has suggested that Canada and the United States establish a "joint governmental body in the nature of a St. Lawrence corporation or authority" which would carry through the project. This propsal has been wisely ad- vanced by a man who has thoroughly studied the construction of inland waterways. During the last six years, the creation of a waterway from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic, which would be suitable for ocean traffic, has been investigated and reported on by-more than a half dozen competent committees. It has been almost uni- versally acknowledged by these bodies that the St. Lawrence route is a desir- able one, and that it is superior to the rival ruote through New York state. In view of the advantages which the canal would bring particularly to the vast area of the Middle West, it s certainly time that a suggestion such as that made by Mr. Hoover be followed. ATTENTION SMITH AND VARE The arguments of Smith and Vare for admission to the United States Senate have received another severe blow with the decision of the Su- preme court regarding federal author- ity over party -rimaries. The decision, rendered in a case concerning the right of a Texas Negro to participate in a Democratic primary, states clear- ly that federal authority exists over the primaries since the primaries are part of the general election and there- fore subject to congressional control. Attorneys for Smith and Vare have contended that Congress has no con- trol over the primaries, and still maintain that .the decision - has not altered Athe soundness of their posi- tion. Yet, for If that they wdill h/e to dig up further arguments to get their clients admitted to the Senate. The decis ' may have far reaching effects in o or matters than (1 Vare and Smith controversy. It may be the beginning of a congressional juris- diction and control over primaries for the nomination of all senators and rpnrsentatives. Most important, HAND-TO-iWOUrH BUYING The buyers strike of 1920 brought into being a new economic condition, "Hand-to-mouth buying" or buying for immediate requirements. It is a question whether this new order is a benefit or a menace to business. Is this method of buying the manifesta- tion of a recent development towards healthy conservation which will more evenly distribute the sales of the man- ufacturer, or does it force the produ- cer to cut down his production in or- der to play safe, since he has no long time contracts to insure his re- serve? There is little doubt that the new system is beneficial to the mid- dleman and retailers, but it is debat- able whether it forces all the risk of business upon the manufacturer or not. The general concensus of opinion is that the increase in efficiency of the railroads makes it possible to buy on shorter notice without any indefinite- ness as to the time of delivery. It is only natural that retailers, middlemen, and jobbers should be content with hand to mouth buying since it exten- sively cuts down the amount of work- ing capital necessary in their occu-, pation. There is still, however, a great deal of argument among the manu- facturers as to the good of short time buying. From the standpoint of the manu- facturer buying for immediate re- quirements it should also be consider- ed an asset. In this age competition is growing stronger, and it is growing more necessary, therefore, to please the consumer. If the producers give the consumers the kind of buying they wish, consumption will increase, ben- efitting the producer. Further the manufacturer will not need, in most cases, to put as much capital into his production as before, because in this age of machinery the element of time necessary for production is prac- tically a negligible quantity. Taking the situation as a whole, it is scientifically correct and a logical improvement over the past condition of long' commitment buying, where a manufacturer with bundles of con- tracts, at the decline of the business cycle, would be unquestionably ruin-1 ed. FRENCH FORCES Claiming as its purpose the reduc- tion of the regular army from aout 700,000 to 400,000 by making every French citizen, male and female, sub- ject to military service in time of war, the Chamber of Deputies has just passed a new reorganization measure. Just how far the women of France af- fected by the new measure will be called upon to serve their country and whether or not they will be actually called upon to bear arms, remains to be determnied. Several amendments have been suggested for a decision on the matter. One of the questions the Charnbe-r of Deputies had to decide was what to do with themselves in time of war. Durig 'the past wal- ninmeru mem- ers, were given leay.e of abseng but were permitted to make speeches be- fore that body while not on military duty. The deputies decided that mem- bers should -either "be in service or in the cliambe and not botlh it the same time. However, they did deter- mine that their members should be exempt from military service during hostilities.j Nnthl under th nw law nr the DOWN THE DIAGONAL ' "Some enterprising merchant," remarked the Jolly Junior yes- terday, "might set up a stand to sell stench bombs." sa * * * GUESS AT ANOTHER Dear Tim-You cannot fail to view with alarm that a newspaper in a neighboring city has been setting itself up as the intellectual arbiter of the state. If intelligence tests are to be conducted, Toasted Rolls is the proper medium to be used. I sug- gest the following as a series of ques- tions especially adapted to the su- I perior intellect of university folk: I 1. What is the architectural style of the Lawyers' Club? of the Museum?' of the Poly Sci building? 2. Who won the Hobbs-Eddy-Reed debate? 3. Who donated the William L. Clements Library of American His-_ tory? j 4. What have the following in com- mon: (1) Toasted Rolls; (2) Harry Tillotson; (3) Chief of Police, Ann Arbor? 5.

"EIGHT 'TIL EIGHT" A review,by Prof. 0. J. Campbell. "Eight till Eight" is a good show, both in the stage sense of the word and in being lavish, entertainment for the eye. Marian Welles and her as- sistant costume designers evidently have a fine sense for color. Variety, swift change and startling contrast in colors make the evening an adven- ture in some futuristic kalaidoscope or wherever one can hope ot be so happily surprised and dazzled. Be- sides, the girls really do make better looking girls than the men of Mimes. It would be too much to expect the entire cast to be beauties, but the standard is high. The next most striking feature is the spirit-at once full of verve and sincere charm-which animates this play more completely than it has any of its predecessors which I have seen. We at Michigan should congratulate ourselves that the Opera and the Junior Girls' Play do thewsame sort of thing in such (different ways. The former is a model of professional competence; the latter is a perfect expression of the amateur spirit in a college activity. "Eight till Eight" showed last night some of the spon- taneity compouned of youth and first- night excitement which professional casts simply cannot retain. Phyllis Loughton as director has caught this precious quality i'n her actors and moulded it into art. Too great praise cannot be given to her skill, critical keenness, and technical knowledge of the stage. It is reflected in every movement of the evening. Such gifts as hers are combined in an under- graduate about once in fifty years. That the Junior director of this play possesses them Is- perhaps the prin- cipal reason for the excellence of "Eight till tight" from Eight till Eleven. Esther Merrick has written a really amusing collegiate book. The cen- tral event is local history. The humor is that which lies latent in the ab- surdities of ourselves and does not demand farce or extravagance. The story moved forward so easily and naturally that we did not once hear the- grinding of the wheels. The main parts were well taken. Marjorie Chavenelle, Lois Porter, and Josephine Mitts as Daisy, Connie and Helen accomplished the difficult task of impersonating themselves with great competece. Connie and Helen incidentally did a spirited song and dance with astonishing grace and ef- fectiveness. Some of the men looked their parts too well to be funny until the first soft tones-how dulcet they did sound-issued from their lips. I thought Nellie Hoover as Henry the best man, and Addison Pelletier as the Lone Kid was superlatively good. Professor Bobbs, who has miraculous- ly caught the imagination of the naive Daisy, though well impersonated, is only a stage type. We professors are certainly more ridiculous than we are made to appear in student plays. College girls by definition are good dancers and they danced through this play. Every five minutes or so there I was a new chorus before us in some original evolution or animated sweep of light and color. The blue-stock- ing chorus and the aritst waltz de- serve particular mention. The three Big Butter and Egg Men aroused the most laughter and danced expertly. Marian Van Tuyl's specialty scarf dance was performed with great skill I and charm. The music, written largely by Mar- garet Cole, is excellently adapted to the lyrics and all on a high level. Certain of the songs, particularly "My True Love is False" and "Eight till Eight" are distinctive and cling to the memory. They were hits and will remain so. In short we had a very pleasant evening and prophesy the same for you. * * * THE ORGAN RECITAL Palmer Christian, University or- ganist, will present the following pro- gram this afternoon at 4:15 o'clock in Hill auditorium: Allegro Agitato (Sonata II)..... .......

"I know nothing about J- Hops but I am sure I could get the 'favors for the affair at least," he is quoted as saying. Oscar intends to make his candidacy chiefly on his record as a dishonest politican. He points out that he cheat- ed his class out of favors for the Frosh Frolic, bought second hand favors for the Soph Prom, and is con- fident that he will be able to abscond with the favors for next year's J-Hop. "That seems to be all that is re- quired of a J-Hop committee chair- man," he coyly added. Kernel. SIGNS OF SPRING * *-* NNIO M11SP, LITTLE DRAMMER A review, by Count Asparagus.
