by activities of the reds, and has dis-
played friendliness toward the Lenin-
grad government on several occasions,
most recently the economic conference
at Geneva.
The new Franco-British agreement
may have some bearing on the treat-
ment of Russia in that it may en-
courage England to act more decis-
ively in its Russian relations, but as
far as France and the nations on the
continent are concerned there is no
danger of an immediate estrangement
with Russia.
FOR EDUCATION
It has long been a recognized fact
that those engaged in the profession
of teaching, and especially college
professors, are for the most part un-
derpaid. Obviously, until something
is done about it, the professors will
continue to be low-salaried. Now and
then some editor mentions it as a
matter of fact and it is soon forgotten
again.
The most regrettable thing about
the matter is that as long as the
pecuniary remuneration continues to
be small, big men in their lines, men
who could impart worthwhile knowl-
edge to the coming generation, are
not going to be attracted by or in-
veigled into the business of teaching.
They would rather follow some other
phase of their work where the money
reward is larger and the possibilities
greater. On the other hand the pro-
fession is blessed with a great many
outstanding men who care enough
about the business of teaching what
they know to the younger people, to
do it for a small financial gain. Al-
though these men will continue to
teach, certainly no one will deny that
they deserve more than they receive
in the way of salaries.
As one editor puts it, "it is time
that the big industries 'came through'
and made it possible for colleges to
pay large salaries." Until that time,
it is to be looked at in a consequen-
tial way: that the teaching profession
will not advance intellectually, indi-
vidually, and as vital instrument in
the education of Young America, un-
der the present low-salaried condi-
tions, in the way it would in tl e near
future were the financial ren unera-
tion to be substantially increased.
'It is reported that Lindbergh said,
"Well here we are" on his arrival in
Paris. The staff correspendent writ-
ing this feature must have had an
agreement with the thousands who
according to the same story swept
over the field toward the plane as it
landed.
The Nanking faction of the Canton-
ese have asked that negotiations be
opened with foreign powers. And a
few weeks ago before England and
America decided to postpone any fur-
ther move in China, their leader, Gen-
eral Chiang refused to say a word.
Mr. Stimpson has succeeded in
breaking the last remnants of the
Nicaraguan revolt. But that is far
from meaning that the Liberals will
support the government which his ac-
tion has aided.
Here It is already May and no one
has decided to swim the English chan-
nel. This promises to be a quiet year
in international politics.

TONIGHT j
Lanterns will shine tonight, hoops
will roll, and the neglected coed will
come into her own when the women
of the University step out in their an-
nual Lantern Night exercises.
* * *
Unfortunately, we believe, we have
never had the opportunity of witness-
ing this celebration which means so
much to our fair famsels. But en-
vironment is having its effect, so
following the occasional examplc of
contributors to our neighboring col-
umns, we might write about it any-
way.
** *
On second thought, we remember
the pictures in a Detroit roto section
last year. Not such a dim recollec-
tion, after all, so we don't intend to
miss things this time.
* * *
"I'VE NEVER yet seen a dry Lan-
tern Night," said our feminine con-
temporary who was telling all about
the affair. But that's not so unusual
for Michigan. Think of the J-Hop.
Lanterns signifying learning, or
something or other are passed on
from the seniors to the junior class..
These lanterns are brightly colored,
which probably means that all educa-
tion is not received in the classroom.
To get even with somebody, the
juniors are allowed to pass on hoops
to the sophomores, who were to wait
until next year to gt rid of them.
There are no eligibility rules. All
women are allowed to take part with-
out regard to the number of years
they have been on the campus.

LITERARY SECTION
5 1 _ YtAT w
Formal approval of the 1926 'Ensian
was given yesterday by the editor of
the Rolls Music and Drama column,
after a year's intensive and exhaustive
study of the publication. "I digested
the contents and found them satisfac-
tory," was his report.
* * *
All yesterday afternoon we watched
the rain. And all the time we tried
,to think of some possible way to en-
joy the brand of weather they have in
Ann Arbor.
Of course, it must be admitted
there's plenty of variety, but the trou-
ble is that it doesn't stay in any one
condition long enough to be of any
help.
* * *
This rain we have so much of pre-
sents the worst problem. Some peo-
ple think it's nice to get out in a
slicker and old hat and let 'er rain.
If a slicker is unavailable .a sedan
may be substituted. Unfortunately we
left both at home, but who wants to
be a fish, anyway.
* * *
Another plan might be an attempt
to sleep it off, But we can't go to
classes all the time.
We've had ice skating, roller skat-
ing, and some of these aviators have
been doing a little skating of their
own variety mighty near the campus.
If some local genius could only in-
vent water skating, it would be a big
help.,
* * *f
We offer only one concrete sugges-
tion for enjoying the weather in :nn
Arbor. Go somewhere else and tell
people about it.
* * *
The engineers are thinking of selling
tickets for the swimming pool on the
barbarian end of the diagonal. To
stimulate sales, they could offer a
prize for the first lawyer to swim
through the arch.

WHICH REMINDS us that the sen-
ior benches are still laid away in ob-
scurity. Perhaps they can use them
to make Clippy stadium a double-
decker.

You just can't beat these DetroitI

A THUMB NAIL PORTRAIT
OF THE MAY FESTIVAL
It is never safe to prognosticate
in any 'of the creative arts - and
especially so in drama or music.
The play that is expected to run
1=
for the entire season will flop after
the first six weeks; the most promising
of opera novelties will stale after
two performances. Yet this season's
May Festival seemed to hold a sin-
gularly even and expected tone. The
artists that were to thrill produced
the required emotion, and mediocrity
appeared where it was anticipated.
There was nothing sensational from
the comparatively unknowns; no one
flashed into meteor-like prominence,
as last year when Levitzki played
Saturday afternoon," or the year be-
fore when Tibbett sang. It was
known and granted that Rosa Pon-
selle would sweep the audience into
a torrent of enthusiasm with her
beauty and musicianship, in spite of
her thin and ingratiating encores. And
it was equally thought that the rever-
ence for the traditions that surround
Schumann-Heink would receive a
proper. recognition; the few who went
to hear her sing were probably dis-
appoited. Sophie Braslau was dis-
tinctly in better voice than three
years ago, almost surprisingly so-
but not quite; the retrogression that
was prophecied, however, seems defi-
nitely disproved. Luboshutz created
a feeble ripple of excitement Friday
afternoom in the Bruch concerto;
Tibbefmight have done something
Saturday tight if there had been any-
thing to do. And finally Frederick
Stock is in a rather peculiar situa-
tion: he has appeared for so many
years, that he has almost become a
prophet in his country, and except for
occasional mention in the reviews, and
a faithful following of a few, his ex-
cellent work is often almost ignored.
Where the mediocrity was forecast,
it appeared to schedule. Elsie Baker
has been in vaudeville (and maybe
still is)-and she looked it. Betsy
Lane Shepherd gets bookings because
her husband is somebody in some-
body's agency-and she sang like it.
And so on. Perhaps the biggest dis-
appointment was Tokatyan. Everyone
expects one foreign tenor each year;
the public demands it, and the San-
hedrin behind the guns admits the
failing. But the Tokatyan that was
supposed to be arriving at the Metro-
politan at one time appeared rather
ill at ease in "Carmen." It is ad-
mitted that of the entire cast, he
probably was the most experienced,
but it failed to become apparent.
Perhaps the Metropolitan is justified
in cutting his roles next year.
Judged in comparison to the Fes-
tivals in other parts of the United
States at this time of the year, Ann
Arbor stands head and shoulders
above the majority. In the musical
periodicals a half page is given to
other programs, and one artist and a
dozen would-bes and have-beens are
mentioned. However, five or six of
the best salaried men and women in
the profession appear locally and
there is occasionally exceptional tal-
ent discovered among the less heavily
billed artists.

Organ recital (which was not given

THE MUSIC BOX REVUE
A Review, By Kenneth Riswell
Maybe it was the hot weather that
kept the crowd away, and then again
maybe they knew the show wouldn't
be any good anyway. It certainly
was too hot (the weather, I mean) for
applause. The company dragged
through twenty-nine scenes with only
an occasional ripple of laughter, and
here and there a whistle from the
gallery.
The Irving Berlin show brought
the first set, of fairly good looking
girls Whitney audiences have seen
this year, and the best singers of any
of the three revues. But the lines and
the skits, in spite of Nyra Brown, who
is a clever commedienne, were pit-
ifully un-funny. What might have
been good comedy in the "Garden of
Eden" and "The King's Gal," a bur-
~Mu-sicN~Drama

ANOTHER FESTIVAL
Another May Festival has ended,
and its closing has probably brought
the usual amount of sensations, good
and bad, to those who were actively
concerned with it. The principals re-
ceived their ovations and other com-
pensations, the campus was treated
to a view of the notables of the mu-
sical world, and the School of Musicl
held the center of the stage during
its annual four days of. carnival.
On the surfaceeverything charac-
teristic of the other Festivals has re-
peated itself-liberal patronage, ap-
preciative words from the singers and
musicians, financial success for the
backers, and more advertising for Ann
Arbor and the University. But these
things are only on the surface; there
may be something more beneath.
The increasing popularity of the
event among the people from outside
and among the student body during
the last few- years has been ea'ily
noticeable. There is nothing which
so creates a distinctive and charac-
teristic following for itself as does
good music. Perhaps that is the rea-
son for its comparatively ;ow prog-
ress among the newer and -nore dem-
ocratic civilizations. Men wLc are ac-
tive in builagg up new structures of
home and state have had little time
to train theiselves to the degree that!
they assumed was necessary to an
understanditig of the operax and the
symphony.. But with the coming of
more leisu'4, nd the ivork of perfect-
ing and inz,roving rather than con-
structing for Vih _ first time, there also
appears the seed of culture, and its
cultivation softens and refines the l
active bodies. The progress of this
culture is In 'a measure the baro-
meter by which the progress of the
"whole is measured. It is this view l
which has ben taken by many as re-
gards the more recent Fes.ivals, and
it is a healthy one.
Though it is a trifle beside the main
point, an agency is to be compliment-!
ed when it brings before any body of

AN APOLOGY- AND MORE
To The Editor:
Will you kindly print my apologies,
to Mr. Vincent Wall for having in-
correctly attributed to him the review
of "The. Captive" which appeared in
the Daily last winter.
While writing, I hope I may be
forgiven for being stirred to comment
on Mr. Robert Henderson's review
of the Ponselle concert. Moreover,
it is my sincere desire to cloak my
comment in the form of a real, help-
ful, suggestion-to-wit:
Noting Mr. Henderson's admiration
for the art of Sophie Tucker, whom
he categories with Miss Ponselle, Miss
Braslau, Miss Mary Garden, and Miss
Raquet Meller, the brilliant idea came
to me that these two artists could do
no better than to join forces-I mean
Sophie and Mr. Henderson. For a ve-
hicle, I suggest some such duologue'
as Strindberg's "Countess Julie" with
Sophie in the role of the salamander-
ing Julie, and Mr. Henderson as the
Nietzschean valet. I guarantee a mag-
nificent artistry, that is, unless poor!
Sophie so far forgets her art as tol
break into dirty songs between
speeches. By way of encore, I fur-
ther suggest a demonstration by I
