Hammer made to take the question very vitally to heart-for popular oratory of the spell-binding variety has rather lost its wide appeal in the past decade or so. The ten-mile swim, planned for the first time last year by the Union, will be held again this spring, according to a recent announcement by officals of that organization. According to the terms of the contest, all students swimming ten miles, or 704 laps, be- fore June 1, will have their names en- graved on the large silver cup given for the purpose and will receive med- als presented by the Union. The value of the ten-mile swim as a competitive event is practically nil; as a means of developing interest in swimming on the part of the student body, however, it is quite a different thing. It is too trite an axiom to need repeating that the placing of a prize or a goal is an immense incen- tive to any form of activity, and the placing of the cup and medals, small though they may seem in regard to any large end, is a worthwhile and well-designed move. Last year, with the same reward, more than a hundred students were induced to try for the prize. There is no reason why the present meet should not attract at least a similar number of entrants-and if it does it has certainly accomplished its pur- pose of promoting healthful exercise among the students of the University. IN THE PHILIPPINES On the occasion of his inaugural address on assuming his duties as the new governor general recently, Henry L. Stimson admonished the Filipinos to forget politics for a while and to concentrate their efforts on economic development as a means of obtaining greater freedom. In so advising the Filipinos, the new incumbent closely adhered to the logic contained in Col- onel Carmi A. Thompson's report of a few months ago after visiting the Philippines to secure information for President Coolidge. Colonel Thompson concluded that the people of many of the islands of the Philippine group have made prog- ress in educational and agricultural development, but that they speak many languages and dialects, some of which have not been reduced to writ- ing. Resources and experience are notably lacking, and interest in a common pursuit is undeniably the logical path to greater independence which, since the islands lie in the shadow of Japanese aggression, they are not yet prepared for without the present political and financial sup- port of the United States. It has been quite a while now since any new charges were introduced into the engrossing political drama in In- diana, but probably the spring elec- tions will thaw out a new supply of mud. EDITORIAL COMMENT! NO LEFT TURN (University of Washington Daily.) Sooner or later, along the path of educational endeavor, the average stu- dent comes to a fork in the oad, where he must decide whether his purpose in life be to acquire or to create, and to which end he should bend his energies. Discussing tie question of commer- cial or creative careers, Lucien Price, author-newspaperman, says: "The conflict between the artist and the trader-the conflict between the will to create and the will to possess-is the central conflict of any age; espe- cially of this, and especially in Amer- s °- * fr rrr ;rm ; : nnr rrnr n ri armA IO% TED OLL THEATER DAILYB.0 0 K S MOFFICIAL r ULL1:TIN Publication in this bulletin is de- structive notice to all members of the University.

SMITH, Jr. THE DAViS MEMORIAL Few more fitting tributes could be made to a man, who gave 38 years of his life in active teaching in the Uni- versity than the fine plaque which will be unveiled soon in the engineer- ing arch to the memory of Prof. Joseph Baker Davis. It is a tribute which demonstrates in only a small way the debt which the University and engineering college owe to this pioneer professor, yet it is a dignified and eloquent memorial to a life given to the cause of education in engineer- ing. To eulogize Professor Davis is use- less. A graduate of the University in the class of 1868, he entered the teaching staff in 1870, and considered active work in both teaching and practical engineering until 1908, when he retired. During this time both the engineering college and the Univer-' sity as a whole made tremendous! strides-strides due in no small meas- ure to such men as Professor Davis. It is with sincere regard and a high sense of appreciation for the contribu- tion which the life of Joseph Baker Davis made to Michigan that the Uni- versity will greet the unveiling of thet memorial plaque to his name.

(Who will ever forget her subtle high comedy as Judith in Noel Coward's "Hay Fever"? or her galloping Dame Chat in "Gammar Gurton's Needle"?) Generally her eyes are lit with a smile, but always behind there is a hint of a passion and a fire that could tear the rest of us out of the very ground we walk on. Elsie Herndon Kearns is a glamorous mystery. * * * RENDER UNTO CAESAR "THE LEGION OF THE DAMNED," By Bennett J. Doty. The Century Company. New York, 1928. $3.00 (Courtesy of the Print and Book, Shop.) Like unto Caesar, Doty is the hero of his own war story. And also like unto Caesar, his tale is slightly in- incredible. But at least this gentle- men has lost no time in cashing in on his experiences while the newspaper fluorishes concerning his desertion and imprisonment are still flaming in the minds of the masses. Exceeding our previous expecta- tions, however, the book is rather pleasant reading. Doty (or whoever did write the book) has attempted no I rhetorical necromancy; the tale is told in a straightforward , unorna- mented narrative tone, with no "Beau Gestian" touches. Doty's point of view shifts rather strangely; at one moment he lauds the French Foreign Legion as a body of heroes, at the next he paints them as a band of ruffians, bound in merciless chains. Perhaps the paradox is only super- ficial, perhaps such metamorphoses I do .occur in the whitehot crucible of battle. There is one truly wonderful frag- ment in the work. Doty's description of the attack of the Druse forces on the tiny French garrison at Mous- seifre ranks well with any batte scene in the history of all writing. But from this a gradual letdown oc- curs until the author, bored with road building and reconstruction de-f serted. His subsequent capture, im- prisonment, and release upon the im- passioned pleas of the American con- sul and the U. S. Marines is newspa- per history in the best Richard Hard-t ing Davis style. And as our hero left the Legion to return to the Land of the Free and, the Home of the Brave, a sardonic colonel smiled and said: "I know you will write a book about} the Legion. Try to tell the truth..." L'enfant Terrible. * * * Sinclair Lewis has recently stood godfather to a literary nhenomenon. G A R R I C K Beginning Sunday, iarch 4. Farewell Tour of the World.
