FINCH national committee for the choice of the motor city as headquarters. Moneyr is no object-for the funds have been' raised-and they have the advantage' of representing the metropolis of a state that has voted loyally in the Republican columns for years. Kansas City and San Francisco are the leading competitors with Detroit for the honor of the convention, and while it is perhaps unjust to disparage, such glowing enthusiasm as Detroit has shown, it seems mightily at this' stage as though Kansas City will with- out a doubt get the call, for several reasons. First and foremost, Chairman But- ler of the Republican national com- mittee favors Kansas City, and hisI reasons are extremely plain. Kansas City, in the first place, is in the heart of the Middle West-in the heart of a section which the Republicans must look to above all others for success in tle 1928 campaign. The West is none too favorable to the Republicans since the farm relief fiasco of last spring, and the compliment of giving them the convention would not be lost on the voters of the corn belt. Detroit, on the other hand, repre- sents the interests of a state which has not deflected from the Republican ranks on a presidential election in years and years, and it represents the interests of a state whose vote is' safely in the Republican column with- out any flattery or any outside stim- ulant. Detroit, to be brutally frank, has nothing to offer in a political way. On the whole it would be pretty safe to venture a prediction, on the basis of this situation, that unless the per- sonal influence of betroit's master politicians completely sways the na- tional committee, there is not one chance in ten of the Republican con- vention being held in Detroit in the summer of 1928.

Opposition to such a measure was stirred up by Kernel in a fiery speechE before the Rolls Executive board. "Student automobile accidents are al- ready greater than at this time last year," he declared. "If they keep on increasing, they may raise our tui-1 tion."t * * * Now that the University has hired a new student protector, the plan con- sidered by the Rolls board of hiring a special Rolls officer to enforce the1 automobile regulations will be tempo- rarily abandoned.

Bobby Poe Leese. v * * JUST WHAT KIND OF A SHOW IS THIS - With heart and lung examinationsj required for prospective members of1 the choruses, it appears that the Junior girls are going to present something a little different in the way of a play next sprig- * * * Advance reports have not sated ivhether the girls are gIng to imitate Mines and its Blundering Herd. or theft in the adaptation of George Gershwin. The tunes are all of them excellent and they have a swing that carries the chorus work when the. footwork is' terrible. We'll say for Bud that he knows a good thing when he sees it. He didn't have to take some second-rater pounded out by a ham trumpet player and turn it into a "Romany Rose." He starts with the best and makes it fit his need exactly. The tuneful end in this show more than justifies the means. Without Lewis, Dougall and Crane this show would be flatter than the football team at Illionis without Gil- bert. The plot reminds one of Mr. Canning's character who said, "Story? ,od bless you! I have none to tell, sir." But there must be a book and so the authors have combined "Broad- way", "Chicago", "Burlesque" and a lot of the other night club thrillers to make a play. The only one they missed was "The Cat and the Canary." Mr. Shuter and the gods of Mimes have achieved the professional in everything but the chorus. Costuming, stars, songs, music-they have all of these things. But the chorus work is ragged and the entrances and the exits are crude. The only thing that saves them at all is the fact that Lewis (one can't talk about the show without mentioning Lewis in each breath) has given them some neat touches and some clever flourishes. The heavy hand of the publicity de- partment almost ruins the show. "Buck" Sampson may be a dandy swimmer, but in this show he is one fish that is out of water. Giving him a lead prt, and especially letting him sing and dance, almost ruins that part of the show. One could do with a few less news' stories about the B. M. 0. C.'s for the sake of an actor. That break is almost as bad as giving Rob- ert Graham a solo where no solo be- longs. He can sing (we've heard him at convoations), but dragging that song, Russian Rose," by the heels in the effort to "plug" it leaves a hole in the show that is big enough to drop. the Library into. When Livingstone walked out with a sign on his back saying that he was not Loue Gilbert, we laughed. But 10 minutes later we wished that it had been Gilbert. We've never seen Gibert act, but he couldn't be much more out of place than Livingstone. If one must have a notable in THAT place for publicity we suggest that they try to get the captain of the de- bating team. Don't get us wrong on this show, The dancing that Lewis and Dougall do is worth the price and the tunes are goood. It's at least worth theprice of a football game, and it pts the blinkers on the last two Mimes pro- ductions. If they can (d0 something with the choruses and make some of the hams in the cast sit up an take notice it will even be good enough to write home about. But it will mean a lot of night work for Ernie from the looks of the present outfit, unless he kicks the choruses out and lets Lewis and Dougall do all of the dancing. "LOCOMOTIVE GOD" by Willim n Ellery Leonard. A Reiew, by Harold May. To mistake W. E. Leonard's "Loco- motive God" for a fabrication intended to cover up some serious moral cor- ruption would be cruelty and injustice to one whose chief trouble is that he has already suffered so much misun- derstanding from those from whom he most needed sympathy. The book is an analysis of his feelings when, as a very young child, he was first ihrowit into a terror stricken state of isolation and insecurity by the mon- strouS and Jehovah-like approach of a lnonmotive .and n exonsiin ofhw MAIL THAT CHECK for Christmas Seals today H AS your local tubercu- losis association mailed some Christrias Seals to you?'

Masterpieces of their kind, they yet had no influence on the life of the race which created them, and they benefited nobody. There lies the differencc between the old and the new civilization.
