can be built. Decentralization has
been the reason for the failure of;
countless student organizations. This1
trouble seems to have been avoided
by the establishment of a central
office. Whether or not the Federation
will grow to be the power it is in
many European countries will be de-
termined by the work of present offi-
cials. The machinery, lacking at the
Ann Arbor conference, has been
established. The work of the organiza-
tion can and should go on at increased
pace.
CASTLES ON EARTH
Quite unlike the ancient and now
extinct bravados whose pomp and dar-
ing overcame the barriers of Mexican
castles, and outposts, the winning
smile and modest manner of Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh has won for him
the affection of not only Mexico but
almost all of Central America. What 1
one equally daring in another day
might have done with his sword,
Lindbergh has dne with his heart and
courage.
Far more eventful than the wildest
tale of fiction is the story of the young
American who has conquered, body
and soul, the inhabitants of Mexico,
Guatemala, Honduras, a n d San
Salvador. Nothing could be more
stirring than the thought of thousands
upon thousands of people anxious to
yield themselves up to Lindbergh
magic; people representing countries
whose attitude, .if not hostile toward
this country, was at least at one time
vague.
America should not flatter itself by
trying to term Charlie Lindbergh, "a1
typical American." He lacks in good
measure, characteristic American con-
ceit; but he possesses, nevertheless,
open-mindedness; frankness, sincerity
and cold determination that is not to
be disregarded. And where other
ambassadors have dreamt of rosy
castles in the air where peace and
good will might hold sway, this good
will Ambassador from America has
visited the castles on earth and done
more toward bringing about such a
spirit than any other one individual
in American history.
It is to be hoped that while Colonel
Lindbergh wings his way through
Central America and into the hearts{
of the populace, his safety will not be
forgotten. America needs Lindy-and
more like him.

To the room-mate:
My New Year's wish for you, dear
friend-
I hope you're feeling fine;
I hope I'll like all your new ties;
And hope you won't like mine.
To a sweet coed:
Remember all the lovely dates
You have in your home town.
I want to hear how darling boys
Just follow you around.
To Mayor Smith of Detroit:
Merry Christmas, Mayor dear,
We're waiting for your better beer.
To a well-meaning instructor:
With all my tact I make this
wish-
Since teaching's simply not your
dish-
A better job may be your fate
In nineteen hundred twenty-eight.

Dramatic pabulum in Detroit has
been materially augmented with the
advent of two plays and two musical
comedies. A second company of
"Good News" is about the most wel-
come entertainment in its line to be
seen in the city this season. It has a
ggood cast with Dorothy McNulty, late
of "The Great Temptations," Max
Hoffman, Jr., much improved since
his "Gay Faree" days, Dorothy Bur-
gess, Katherine Morris, Jack Haley
and some others. They have a fast
show two wonderful songs-"Good
News" and "The Varsity Drag"-
which Peggy Bernier puts over in the
merry-merry manner, and excellent
comedy. In fact it turned out to be a
theatrical marvel-it lived up to its
reputation. It is almost axiomatic in
the show business that a road com-
pany is pretty certain to turn out to
be a disappointment in certain re-
spects. But "Good News" is selling
row Z at the - Cass for every per-
formance.
The other musical show is "Just
Fancy" at the Shubert Detroit. It af-
fords pleasant entertainment, has no
niasic to speak of, some comedy by
Raymond Hitchcock and Eric Blore,
and Joseph Santley and Ivy Sawyer.
Its book is an adaptation of the
Thomas play "Just Suppose" and con-
tains some of the wistful and pallid
charm of a Barrie piece.
The plays in town-"Chicago" and
"The Spider"-are too well known
to merit much comment. The first is
a satire of the American criminal
courts, and is well written by Mau-
rine Watkins and well played by
Francine Larrimore. The second is a
trick mystery play which was very
successful in New York last season,
but which I found rather dull. Prin-
cipally because mystery plays are one
of my minor enthusiasms.

HARI3Y I)ELMA'S "REVELS"
At the Shubert theater, New York.
A review, by Morris Zwerdling.
Graduated from the hoofer class,
Harry Delmar has taken his place
with George White, George M. Cohan
and the others who have realized am-
bitions as producers. His first revue,
the "Revels," is sure-fire entertain-
ment for those who like their humor
not too subtle and close to burlesque.
Although the book has little about
which one may enthuse, it is inter-
preted by a cast which compares well
with any musical show on Broadway
today. Heading the list is Winnie
Lightner, that stout comedienne who
delights in shouting out risque song
lyrics, and Frank Fay, a straight
comic possessed of one of the best
"blues" voices I have ever heard.
Bert Lahr establishes himself in the
"Revels" as one of the funniest char-
acter comedians in the game. His trick
makeup and eccentric speech, not un-
like Joe Penner of Greenwich Villagei
Follies fame, was responsible for
making dull lines seem convulsively
funny.
No show is complete now-a-days, it
seems, without a special dancing

All day long he sped about the city.
Early in the afternoon he was ob-
served on Main street, presumably
after an inspection of the road to
Jackson and the Pulymouth road to
Detroit. Shortly after 4 o'clock he
narrowly missed a "Withrow" as lie
zoomed around the corner of Hill and
East University in his anxious search
for some violator.

Meanwhile hundreds of students
shivered in cold rooms. Although
their school work had been completed
early in the afternoon or even in the
forenoon they were waiting until the
zero hour of 6 o'clock, when all re-
strictions would be removed and they
could begin their homeward migra-
tions.
Radiators began to freeze. It grew
colder as evening began to fall.
Grimibling -was heard at the watch
party, organized at the 111011. But
still the faithful remained. Stirred
by the President's Christmas greeting,
they were intent upon observing the

MiCE AI,''LAE AS SAVIORS
We heard of a mighty good adress
during vacation. It seems that a real
prominent University man was lectur-
ing down in Tennessee or South
Carolina or some place about like
that. This man is a biologist, and
very much interested in mice. So he
told those poor people down there
that the mouse might some day be
the salvation of the human race. It
was such a good idea that we are
commemorating it with a little verse.
Blessing on thee, little mouse,
Terror of the boarding house;
Your life now is no disgrace;
You can save the human race.
