Hammer Hannah Wallen the elimination of the lame dlucks will requirema constitutional amendment, and a constitutional amendment will require a lot of trouble. The end to be gained, however; will be worth the price, for the anomaly of a Congress, half of whose members may have been' repudiated by their constituents, is a menace not only to the principle of representative government but to the best interests of the legislation which1 must necessarily be enacted in the short session. POWER Montreal, erstwhile opponent of the Great Lakes to the Sea waterway, is apparently experiencing a change of heart, if reports from that quarter can be believed, and the conversion is coming about not by popular insist- ence or by scientific report, but by the vision of a new and gilded giant-elec- tric power. The good folks of Mont- real, it seems, had never quite re-c alized just what 3,000,000 horsepower would mean to their province until a group of Montreal university profes- sors recently got their heads 'together and figured out, in dollars and cents, the amount of wealth the project rep- resents. If Canada, with all its government railroads and its conservative minis- try, can be brought around to the favorable view by the prospect of power, perhaps the United States would do well to follow a similar plan and dangle the prospect of power be- fore New York state. The same sci- entists that estimate 3,000,000 horse- power for Quebec estimate that NewI York would gain at least 1,000,000l horsepower from the electrical de-1 velopment, and at the current charges for electricity that sum would repre- resent real wealth in New York. After all, the Great Lakes to the Sea waterway, being a program which will make transportation more effi- cient,- and which will pay for itself in power, seems to be ultimately inevita- ble. Already Detroit is the fourth port of the nation, though handicapped byI having no outlet to the sea, and the tide of Congressional opinion, beset by innumerable favorable reports and a strong public opinion throughoutI the Middle West, seems to be swing-' ing more and more toward the adop- tion of some such measure. Efficient transportation, which fail-I ed to persuade either Quebec or New York, seems to have been replaced by a more potent argument in those vicinities which should appeal to even the most terrified antagonist of the commercial waterway-the argument of power. r 1 r r r u, r r r i r r n a i rr it i i n r ua rr iaa i ivi i -. 17 ASTEDOL MORE CAMPUS IF YOU HEAR the clicking of a camera don't be frightened for it is only a couple of camera men taking pictures of college for College Hu- mor. * * * IT SEEMS THAT the men who di- rect such enterprises have come to realize that their pictures are not much like real college life, and ac- cordingly they are taking some snaps here and there for examples of real college doings. WE HOPE THEY get some good views of genuine activities, but then it is hard to take moving pictures in the dark. However, we will offer them some stills of real college endeavor, or what have you. , * ROMEO AND --- The above is the pet hobby of some of the leaders of campus activities. Moving picture directors sometimes have difficulty in filming such a sceneI because they cannot keep the actors supplied with pop. COLLEGE PRANKS Ca'or a -- JJ No, this man is not really drunk.! This is just to illustrate how some of the college boys experiment for psychology classes. They gave this man somnc pop and put a snake in the bag. The effect is evident. This is ai scene rarely equalled in the movies. S * ~ * BUT NOT TODAY b.

International Night is hardly so much an event as an experience, an experience that is dull in spots, re-' freshing in others, and quite enter- taining in still others. Last night it had some rather startling features, and not least of them was the size of the house, which surpassed that of any concert held this year in Hill auditorium, believe it or not. It is perhaps the farthest from the campus pseudo-sophistication of anything ever seen here. The large audience applauded innocence, endeavor, and amateurish methods with a spontane- ity that belied its collegiate character -until some antics began in the lat- ter part of the program. It is better to gloss over the ordi- nary and the superfluous, and get to the high spots. Briefly there were Blossom Bacon and her harp, the Ger- man student singers, and Nadia Ata- manec, the Ukrainian soprano. The highly touted Polish pianist was- pardon me-a flop. Miss Bacon com- manded attention and applause with her instrument-and handled it with true Irish informality and ease. The Heidelbergers jocularized and war- bled "Wie ist das Leben" until I could swear I smelled beer and heard pret- zels being crunched. Mrs. Atamanec ought to be somebody's find. She bore her audience along like a Raisa in the duet from the Ukrainian opera which she sang with her husband. Moving pictures were checked up and found correct for once, when two Hawaiian girls did the hula with all the fixings. It was great, and every one trembled afterwards for fear some of the boys would whistle and break the spell. Along towards the finale some 30 or 40 children came on the stage and did little else but dance and sing-but there was a real thrill in it.j There is something amiss with this sort of program. It has so much to work with, and makes such a: big hodge-podge of it all. Wise cutting of scenes, elimination of the long waits between the short scenes, and the least bit of real showmanship would result in a remarkable product. It ought to be turned over to a Shuter, just as an experiment. However, In- ternational Night can be termed an earnest and successful venture.

KERN THE LECTURES Aside from the natural terror which the name "Religion" instills in the average University student, there seems to be no really good reason why the series of lectures recently arranged by the Student Christian as- sociation and kindred organizations should not receive more than indiffer- ent attention on the part of the stu- dent body. Such men as Dr. Wilbert Hinsdale, Prof. Solomon Gingerich, Prof. W. D. Henderson, Dr. Aldred Warthin, Prof. Louis Hopkins, and President Clar- ence Cook Little are worth the time of almost any student, and when their lectures are offered free of charge, on subjects of current interest, the op- portunity is even more valuable. The series has been arranged under the auspices of a religious organization, to be sure, but the broadness of the subjects to be covered is such that no person need fear a dogmatic ex- position in any numvber of the group. The talks certainly deserve the atten- tion of the student body. LAME DUCKS Lame duck, besides indicating a very unfortunate species of fowl, has Jong been an expressionaof extreme significance in national politics. Designating, as it does, the Congress- man, who has been defeated in the November elections as lie sits in the December sessions of the House of Representatives or the Senate, it has more than once meant defeat or vic- tory for a bill of paramount interest to the nation as a whole-not defeat or victory on its merits. The lame duck, it happens, usually desires a federal appointment to some easy position or other after his days of usefulness in the Senate are past. It is thus his duty not to consider what the merits of a measure are, but to ask whether or not the President and his administration are behind the bill-for it is the President who is expected to award his fidelity with the federal appointment after his term is over. For many years this "lame duck" session has been a menace to the best interests of a large amount of federal legislation. For many years measures have been tentative to prevent the "lame duck" session (controlled as it is by the President) from occurring " O PHILOSOPHICAL ENGINEERING- BY FORD Henry Ford is revered in his sphere as is probably no other man in the This would civilized world.

The most colorful and emotional of the selections, Smetana's Quartet in E Minor was also the best handled of the two major works on the program. Titled, "From My Life," the theme of the piece as it progresses through the four movenents is the romantic desires of boyhood, the happiness of youth, and the joys of first love, turn- ing in the end to the introduction of national elements in music and the final gloom of a future shrouded by the misfortune of deafness. The performance of the Haydn Quartet in C Major Op. 74 No. 1 with all its classical austerity and pre- cision of expression was beautifully delicate and demanded an immediate response. Bocherini's Menuett was the encore inevitable. The last of the program was lightly amusing. The Irish Melody, an ar- rangement of "Danny Boy"; By The Tarn, a weird bit of moodiness; and the mad magic of Presto, Al Sarta- iello were all beautifully done. The encores demanded as a result were the popular Tango by Albeniz, and the lovely Bizet Adagieto. TEAPOT TEMPEST New York's Rialto.
