Night Editor-J'. S. HOOKER
With the theft Monday of four new
pcoats from coridors of theWest En-
neering building the possibility of
1 epidemic of such depredations sim-
wr to the one four years ago again
comes apparent. Not only do the
w spring coats, hung unguarded in

cult to judge the justice of his charg-
es. On the other hand, and quite as
likely, lie may be a sincere and hon-
est champion of a cause which he be-
lieves to be for the benefit of his alma
mater. Whatever the case, charges of
graft and political conspiracy, such
as the charges which he made against
the State College, are certainly far
too serious to be dismissed with a
wave of the hand in the form of a
suspension.
LAKES TO THE SEA
With the recent publication of di-
plomatic exchanges between the Unit-
ed States and Canada concerning the
St. Lawrence waterway it appears that
the difficulties standing in the way of
its construction have been reduced
from both political and technical ob-
jections to technical points only. The
proposed substitute of a barge canal
through New Yorlk state has appar-
ently been abandoned, and the ob-
jections of the Canadian government
inspired by fear of competition with
Canadian government railroads seem
likewise to have disappeared.
The points about which the two
governments are still at odds seem
to be first the division of the cost of
the project, second the question of
lake levels as now affected by the
Chicago diversion, third the questions
of tariff and embargo and fourth, the
exportation of power. On all of the
points at issue, it seems from an im-
partial standpoint, Canada demands,
only her just due, and it seems ex-
ceedingly likely that the United States
will be willing to concede her north-
ern neighbor such consideration.
All in all the prospects for the
waterway, while not holding any im-
mediate promise, have seen worse
days. Continuous reports by engi-
neers, transportation authorities, and
government experts in favor of the
project are bound to have a cumula-
tive effect in time, especially when
backed by a powerful Middle Western
public opinion. The recent disclos-
ures, in short, are far from discour-
aging to those who have advocated the
plan through years of seemingly un-
appreciated' effort.t


AST EDROLL
TO THEE,
Once more the Inlander is back in
the Press building. This is its first
appearance among us since its mostj
recent revival in 1925. The historyl
of the Inlander, you know, is one
continuous series of discontinuances
and re-establishments.
* * *
The staff now occupies the other
side of the table in the Gargoyle office.
It would be terrible if the copy of the
two publications became mixed. Still,
could any one tell? If the Gargoyle
made the happy mistake of printingj
part of the Inlander, it would result
in a pretty good'issue for our cam-
pus humor magazine.
THE PRIZE POETRY NUMBER!
Bursting upon the campus in all its
pristine glory comes that flare-bomb
announcement that the next issue of
the Inlander will be devoted to spring
poetry. Think of it! An entire num-
ber of the Inlander devoted to spring
poetry. Pray for;good, warm weather,
boys, and mayhap the Muse will stir
you.

Spring, breaking with blizzards and
blossoms on the Ann Arbor Rialto-
that dirty little alley behind the Union
-finds the campus placarded again
with news about the new Comedy
Club show. The advertising campaign
is hurried so that vacation-filled purs-
es will last until the opening night,
and playgoing regathers interest only
temporarily checked by the holiday.
The bandwagon is drawn up full-
horsed for splendid Spring ride, while
the proverbial forty men are confi-
dently expected to get killed in the
rush on the box office for tickets. All
of which suggests that the drama-
if you can call it such, locally- is
suffering, or perhaps even enjoying,
a revival at Michigan. Whatever your
point of view, however, Mimes is mak-
ing money, Comedy Club is earning a
reputation, and people ale actually
trying to get into Play Production
classes.
Such awe inspiring conditions are

Equity. Instead of being a good girl
and taking her suspension for desert-

"DAISY AND DAPHNE": A
Novel by Rose Macaulay. Har-

(Courtesy of The Print and Book

We find ourselves in the sad state
of having used up all our commenda-
tory adjectives on previous books just
when "Daisy and Daphne," the best
of them all, happened along. Miss
Macaulay's latest work is fully de-
serving of all the pet words which'
we keep in the file marked "Super-
Excellent'-words Ilike "charming,"
"delightful," and "entertaining" -so
deserving, in fact, that we refuse to
use all the trite phrases of yester-
year.
In oui' opinion "Daisy and Dahpne"
is the best book of the year, Miss
Macaulay's best book, and will prob-
ably remain the best book of several
years. Thus do we exult the dis-
covery of a work combining nerfetinI

GENERAL ELECTRIC has perfected
this new electric refrigerator model
especially to fit apartments with limited
kitchen space-developed to sell at a new
lc 4 price, without sacrificing any of the
Far.mous features found in the larger, more
°xnensive modcls.
i ith six square feet of food shelf space,
the Apartment Model occupies less than
three and a half square feet of floor area.

The mechanical simplicity, developed after
fifteen years of research, has made this
model possible. Operation is entirely auto-
matic. Plug into the nearest electric outlet
and forget it. It is worry-proof - never
needs attention - not even oiling.
Note, too, that it is snow-white porcelain
enamel inside and out. "A de luxe refriger-
ator at a new low price," is the opinion of
those who have seen it. Examine this
model in our showrooms today.
