What- ever meaning may attach to the term "Great Forest," the fire is gone. The Klan is becoming a sort of new-born Tammany with no traditions, and once out in broad daylight it will find things very different from before. PULLING BOTH WAYS Attempts on the part of Col. Robert SStewart,chairman of the Standard Oil company of Indiana, to evade the arrest put upon him by the Senate when he refused to answer questions in the Teapot Dome inquiry have ut- terly failed so far, and his reasons for not answering have been branded as frivolous by the presiding justice. The whole affair has been a farce as far as the oil king was concerned, and his replies have shown more clearly than anything else that all is not "sweetness and light" in the matter. The developments of the last two -weeks in which Stewart has been in- volved has displayed a startling in- consistency in the policy of the oil company. In refreshing contrast to the evasions and wire pullings that had gone before, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., displayed a commendable public spirit when he requested Stewart to return to Washington from the H3a- vana conference, and asked him to do anything in his power to aid the Senate committee. But any brief hopes for speedier clearing-up of this national scandal soon disappeared, and there is now cast up on the Wash- ington screen the picture of an inter- national business figure, engaged in by-play with governmental investiga- tors while the lesser sublic looks on with mingled emotions. INSPECTION Taking first steps toward what may prove to be a satisfactory solution of the wage dispute between miners and bituminous operators in the eastern coalhmining fields, the sub-committee of the Senate interstate commerce committee opened their inspection of conditions in mining camps this week. Evidence that the committe means business was shown when the request of the presidents of two of the largest operating concerns in the district that officials of the United Mine Wrkers be prohibited from entering their property, was flatly refused on the grounds that full inquiry could not be undertaken by the committee without some representative of the Union present. Inasmuch as the operators will be given the opportunity to pre- sent their side of the case before the committee the latter part of this week, there was no justification for the refusal on the part of the investi- gating committee. With detailed in- spection now underway, and indica- tion given that the committee means business, a compromise settlement may reasonably be expected. PRACTICE v AT UNON ALONG ABOUT THE last day of the month, February 28, to be exact, all students are asked to vote on a proposed amendment at the Union. This will be excellent practice for those who are going to vote in the campus elections in the spring. IF ANY OF THE students wish to find out just how politics work a splendid opportunity is given at these campus elections. Some of our boys on the campus may not be very ex- perienced, but they learn fast and are really better politicians than most of the Bill Thompsons, etc. * * * OVER AT THE UNION they are voting to combine two boards into one. That means the elimination of one, but it must be a good thing for the elimination of anything at the Union would be a good thing. * * * BILL JEFFRIES, PRESIDENT of the Union (don't ask him how it hap- pened) has promised that if there is a quorum present and the vote is cast he will serve refreshments to all attending but not today. * * * THE ONLY TIME IN the history of the Union that they ever got enough students out to vote was when they promised to give $10 to every student. They did, but someone rais- ed the tuition so it all came out even. IT HAS BEEN intimated that Ben Bolt, Rolls candidate for president will be present at the meeting to talk to those who wish to stay for the re- freshments. It has been decided to hold the refreshments until after Ben has talked for the management hopes that there will only be a few left. * * * EXPEDITION FOUND The Rolls expedition to the Eco- nomics building has been found. All members of the party are reported safe. It seems that they strayed into the aboretum just before sun set and fell asleep. WHEN THEY WOKE they saw that the sun had set and forgot that the gates have not yet been erected. Thinking that the gates were closed they thought there was no use in trying to get out.! * * * OLAF D. KATZ, leader of the ex- pedition expressed his thanks at be- ing found. Whei he heard that it was feared the group had been lost in the library, he expressed great ex- citement. "If that had been the case," he said, "we would never have been found." THE EXPEDITION HAS proceed- ed to the Economics building where further research will be made * * *0 00 OOOO-L)O1K BUSINESS STAFF Telephone 21214 BUSINESS MANAGER WILLIAM C. PUSCH Assistant Manager...

Hammer SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1928 Night Editor-MILTON KIRSHBAUM INTERNATIONAL NIHT Planned this year for March 6, In- ternational Night, annual presenta- tion of the Cosmopolitan club, prom- Ises to be even as elaborate as it has been in the past. A combination of professional and amateur acts, and of local and outside talent, the presen- tation will doubtless achieve the novel character and cosmopolitan atmo- sphere that has been so distinctive in the productions presented in recent years, a character and atmosphere which are extremely welcome on the University campus. Though the project has never lack- ed the support of the student body in the past, commendation is a hollow phrase and praise a mean tribute without the support in a small finan- cial way which the project deserves. The foreign students on the campus, together with a number of native aides, have expended unstintedly of their time and efforts in producing these In-ternational Night programs-. with notable results. It is to be hoped that the student body as a whole will recognize this fact when an opportu- nity is afforded to cooperate in a small way by attending the affair. THEATER BOOKS MUSIC TONIGHT: The Rockford Players present "Clarence" in the Whitney theater at 8:15 o'clock. TONIGHT: The Mimnes present "The Ilome Towners" In their theater at 8:30 o'clock. SHAKESPEAREAN MRS. FISKE Mrs. Fiske, who will appear in Shakespeare's "Merry Wives of Wind- sor" in its first Michigan appearance at the Whitney theater, is assigned the part of Mistress Page to do with as she will, and her will is to do it with as hearty, as cunning, as Ra- belaisian a gesture as she can com- mand. It is altogether in keeping with her role as Mistress Page that Mrs. Fiske should never have read, at least so she says, any Shakespeare until about a year ago, and it is still more in keeping that, after she had read it she should have decided that she wanted to appear in it. Mistress Page undoubtedly never read anything in her life, and if she had she would have used it to play tricks on her husband. Appearing with Mrs. Fiske is Hen- rietta Crosman, who takes the part is Mistress Ford. Henrietta Crosman s an actress with a Shakespearian reputation, and between her and Mrs. Fiske the scene is kept buzzing with ribald and ingenious tauntings of all the males in the play. -H. M. * , COMEiDY OF DEATH After suffering from the dewy drip of "Clarence" and the musical com- edy farce of "The Home Towners" it is a relief to register the coming pro- duction of Sutton Vane's comedy mys- tery-melodrama, "Outward Bound," which for all its nonsense is a sophis- ticated drama, and in spite of its dead characters--for they are really dead although. the final scenes explaining it all will be omitted as quite unneces- sary--it is really a lively comedy of irony. Produced in London by John Drinkwater, it was an over-night hit and whenetransplantedhto New York with Alfred Lunt in the Tom Prior role it scored a similar success. Of local importance is the fact that this play is Mrs. Mansfield's last before Ann Arbor audiences and Mr. War- burton's first as a director n pro- ducers. -R LA. * * * "HONEYMOON LANE" Eddie Dowling said three years ago that within that time he was going to be back in Detroit with another mu- sical comedy hit-he was then in "Sally, Irene and Mary"-and next week he's going to keep his promise with "Honeymoon Lane" which enters the New Detroit for a.week beginning Sunday night. After a New York Beason, it went to Philadelphia and broke some records, and is now en route to Chicago. Mr. Dowling wrote the books, lyrics and plays the lead in "Honeymoon Lane" and officiated in a similar ca- pacity for his wife-Miss Ray Dooley, who is now on the road with "The Sidewalks of New York." Mr. Dowling is planning to return to New York with "Honeymoon Lane" after he takes it to the coast-something which was lone with "Sally, Irene end Mnrv." Included in the cast with Mr. Dowling .will be Gordon Dooley, Martha Morton, Florence O'Deni- shawn and sundry others from the big time merry-merry. Other Detroit attractions for next week include the Helen Ford and Lulu McConnell combination in "Peggy-Ann" at the Shubert Detroit and a return engagement of "My Maryland" at the Shubert Lafayette. The former played a year at the Vanderbilt in New York, and is now out in the provinces with most of the original cast. It is the musical ver- sion of "Tillie's Nightmare." rirhe Messrs.

Lindbergh landed in De- troit to be immediately beseiged by reporters and aeronautical experts as to his present and future plans. He tsked-to be left alone. Although the less considerate portion of the public will assert that lie is but paying the penalty of being famous, it would noi be so very far wrong, in view of whal he has done for aviation to abide by one of his few requests. The public should be willing to forget the noted aviator while he enjoys the vacation which has been his due for many many months. Apparently some papers have yet to learn to discriminate between the uncommon and the commonplace. i I. Y s e e c e t t Y CHANGING.

We don't know if the man should be cursed or prais- ed; each to his own opinion. OF COURSE THE man who first introduced co-eds did not think of the trouble their descendants would cause when abbreviated skirts, bobbed hair and all that goes to make (or unmake) the modern women students became popular.
