Peace" was negotiated in 1360 only at the conclusion of war between England and France. It is highly significant, therefore, that in. this day and age the United States govern- ment believes that the execution be- tween France, Great Britain, Germa- ny, Italy, Japan, and the United States, of a treaty solemnly denouncing war in favor of pacific settlement of inter- national controversies, would have a tremendous moral effect and ultimate- ly lead to the adherence of all other governments of the wold. The day when treaties resulting in peace without war, the greatest pos- sible and the most lasting peace, can- not be too soon in coming about. Only then when the work of war as a means of settling disputes is assum- ed by another agency, "there shall be no more war." HOOVER WINS With 35 delegates secured as a min- imum from Ohio, and all 39 of. the Massachusetts delegates morally ob- ligated to support him as a result of the state primary vote, Herbert Hoo- ver, seems to have registered heavily in the Tuesday primaries. One can scarcely agree with James W. Good, leader of the Hoover campaign, "that nothing now can stop the nomination of the commerce secretary," but one can agree to a certain extent with the opinion that the results show high hope for the Hoover campaign. In Pennsylvania, nevertheless, on the same day, the voters elected 79 uninstructed delegates to the Repub- lican National convention, which, ac- companied by the 90 from New York state which will also go uninstructed constiute a tremendous unit of power in the impending nomination ballots. If khepse strong delega.tions,. :under the leadership of Andrew J. Mellon, fail to indorse Hoover, as it is likely that they will fail to endorse him, the Hoover forces will enter the con- vention with a handicap of 169 votes -a matter not quite as optimistic as the commerce secretary's' backers might desire. Taken as a whole the developments of the week, while favorable to the Hoover candidacy, are not overwhelm- ing. Peinsylvania's mighty delegation will go uninstructed-a loss to Hoo- ver; Massachusett's group will doubt- less be in sympathy with the com- merce secretary; and in Ohio the Hoover forces seem to have well over half of the entire delegation, though running against the name of the late Senator Willis. Hoover still leads all other single candidates, to be sure, but Hoover is scarcely assured of a majority over all other candidates and uninstructed delegations together. The popular strength of the commerce secretary is undeniable from coast to coast, but by large states such as Pennsylvania, where firmly entrenched machines have a secure hold on the electoral machinery, the nomination of Hoover has been seriously jeopardized. JST AN EXPLANATION YESTERDAY WE WERE accused of leaving the column to go out on a date. We wish to state that this was not the case, but we were play- ing baseball. However, there are ru- mors afloat that someone arranged us a blind date for some time in the near future. i 'B ar K g.... .......Richard A. Meyw i... Edward L. Hulse g ............. John W.

PEACE WITHOUT WAR nce the middle ages most peace ties have been written at the :lusion of a war, the victor usually ting and the vanquished usually pting the terms. Nowadays, the utiol difference lies in the fact the majority of those nations ad- ting the much discussed world- peace, would have it avert, rather fnlir ua . ad ifrn fn a * * * THERE IS A LOT to be said about blind dates. We have known times when we wished we were actually blind after the first five minutes; be- ing deaf and dumb would also have helped on a few. PERSONALLY, WE THINK that any court will give a verdict of not guilty in a case where a person has murder- ed another for getting him a blind date. Justifiable homicide we should call it. * * * KERNEL, WHO WAS accused of taking a flat tire to the military ball, refutes the statement, saying, "I want my public to know that I am not taking the girl, she is taking me." * * * DUCK, MEN, DUCK WE SEE IN The Daily that the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts has mailed its warning list. * * * WE ARE HOLDING our breath with each mail. We hope and pray that none of our profs. have caught on .to just how much we are not do- ing. ** * BUT THEN, SOMEONE must get warnings and we may as well as any- one else. What's a little warning or two? . Not a thing, that is, as long as the bank account at home doesn't find out about it. * * * POLITICIANS NOTICE NOW IS THE time for all good men to come to the aid of their party, and place some candidate before the stu- dent body for election to the stu- dent council. * * * IF YOU ARE not lined up with some political machine already, do so at once - 'perhaps you will be the candidate, BUT NOT TODAY. * * * WE RECEIVED AN offer from one party of just about anything we want- ed if we would turn our power of publicity loose in favor of its candi- date. * * * WE REFUSED, SAYING that the campus politics had always been clean and we would not be the one to start things on the down grade. The cam- pus elections are free from all cam- paigning, muck-raking, log-rolling, wire-pulling and the rest, ABER NICHT HEUTE. * a * HOWEVER, IT, WON'T BE long now before we find out if we made a mistake in turing down the offer and waiting for a better one, or not. ** * CARVE 'EM, BOYS NOW WE LEARN that seniors may carve their names on the tables down in the Union tap room. It's just about the only chance one has to get even with the Union. * * * IN THE OLD days when this sport was carried on down at Joe Parker's it must have been exciting. From all we can gather of what sort of a place Parker's was, one never knew if he was carving on the table or on someone else's head. * * * IN MOST CASES, it wouldn't have made much difference. Drunks are drunks, and then remember that the Union was conceived by four men sit- ting around a table down at Park- er's. * * * THEATER BOOKS MUSIC THIS AFTERNOON: Zona Gale, novelist, will lecture in Hill audi- torium at 4:15 o'clock.

"MEET THE WIFE" A review, by Vincent Wall About one thing more need be said about this production: that is, it is an excellent show window to display the histrionic abilities of four peo- ple-Phyllis Loughton, Harlan Cristy, Thomas Dougall and Robert Wetzel. Lynn Starling has created four excel- lent characters, and an almost good farce comedy. It fall short only in the fact that at times the travesty becomes too apparent, and the action falls into a silly jumble of pawky hu- mor, ingenious situation but clumsy craftsmanship. It is then that the cast finds itself with the problem of turning this ab- surdity into comedy. The work falls mostly on the shoulders of Miss Loughton, and the measure in which she succeeds is a tribute to her ability. She keeps the tempo up, and at the same time turns Gertrude Lennox into a very funny lampoon of the sub- urbia club woman. Cristy creates a portrait of Amer- ican Babbittry that is unique-it has sympathy and considerable humor. Thomas Dougall manages to capture more of the rather low comedy which the entire piece should have. And Robert Wetzel-always the conscious artist-plays Victor Staunton a bit too consciously, but broadly and well enough. ** * THEATER ARTS EXHIBIT A criticism, by Robert J. Gessner It is an exceedingly rare occasion when the Department of Speech pre- sents the campus with a cultural ex- hibit. However, there is at present such an exhibition in the new School of Architecture, and it is well worth the attention of all admirers of art on the campus. To the "Theater Arts Monthly" much credit can be given for their collec- tion of original stage and costume de- signs. The majority of the exhibits are unusually good; there are a few that demand special attention. There are five scenes by Raymond Soveyon Shaw's "Saint Joan" that was pro- duced by The ' heater Guild, and they are outstanding in technic and concep- tion. There are, however, three vivid scenes from O'Neill's "Hairy Ape" along with a most effective scene from his "Emperor Jones" that also com- mand serious attention and minute appreciation. On the other hand there are several pieces that seem almost impossible as fan as staging is con- cerned, and we wonder how success- ful these were when presented. One of these futuristic scenes is a project for Wagner's "Ring," and is entitled "The Ascent to Valhalla in Das Rhein- gola," and incidently looks something like it sounds. Shakespeare is given justice by Jonel Jorgulesco, who sketched a striking scene from Mac- beth. All the subtle metaphysical relations of the tragedy are embodied in this terrifying picture. This same author has a" sketch for Tollen's "Ma- chine-Wreckers," and was enacted when that play appeared in the Boston Repertory Theater. Act One of "Seventh Heaven" by Austin Strong is given a satisfactory setting by Georgiana Brown. Moliere's "George Dandin" has a scene by Cleon Throckmorton that was produced by the Provincetown Players, which is highly seasoned and exceptionall well done. * * * "PORGY" IN DETROIT The Masonic auditorium is housing the Detnoit run of Theater Guild's production of the Dubose Heyward play, "Porgy," which is coming direct from a successful season in New York. This play of Negro life is unique as such plays go for the fact that it ignores the ever present Negro-white problem and confines itself strictly to a sympathetic and thoroughly realis- tic treatment of the black boy among his own people. The locale of this colorful pageant is Catfish Row, the heart of the darkie colony, and fur- nishes a splendid background for the Ayraflfl n.v lho ra nt.. rt whonrrofl ALWAYS TO BE HAD AT GR.;AHAM'S Both Ends of the Diagonal x The Latest and Most Important STUDENTS-IT WILL PAY YOU TO SEE OUR SAMPLES TAILOR-MADE CUSTOM CLOTHES Drive over and get measured for your Sprin; clothes.

IF YOU HAVE "IT" But, folks, there is no way in the world to determine whether you do or do not have "IT," without actually making a SCREEN TEST of .you. Recent developments now make possible the making of SCREEN TESTS in almost any town or city, so our Directors and Cinematographers are going to nearly 100 towns and cities throughout the United States with their cameras, lights, make-up and everything necessary for mnaking these, SCREEN TESTS of you and for you, and it you do have "IT," your TESTS ewill be submitted tothe producers for their considera tion. An opportunity of this kind has never before been presented, because of the tor- merly impracticable methods of making these TESTS outside the-studio. To get a Screen Test made by the studios, if you were right here in Hollywood, is almost an impossibility, therefore you can realize what this opportunity means to you. Present plans include SCREEN TESTS of ONLY those registered in advance. This may be the opportunity of a lifetime. Do not fail to avail yourself of it. Full infor- mation and registration blanks will be furnished FREE upon request. CINEMA ARTS TESTING BUREAU Lock Box 425, Hollywood Station, Hollywood, California.

This opportuntiy is being given to you in advance' of the general public, because nert and women with University training have, a decided advantage over those who are less fortunate. Arrangement will be made for these tests at such dates and hours as will not conflict with your school work. We are lookingfor STAR material and the number of aIplicants who will be registered for these tests is limited, therefore your request for details should be forwarded promptly.

I EDITORIAL COMMENT 11 c I ' i' II LESS CUMBERSOME COURTS (The Toledo Blade) Addressing the Cincinnati Lawyers' club, Edson R. Sunderland, professor of law at the University of Michigan, advocated the abolishment of inter- mediate courts of appeals in Ohio. The learned professor's suggestion deserves careful consideration for he is an eminent authority and has stud- ied the situation carefully. With comparatively few exceptions, important cases in this state are be- gun in the courts of common pleas. There are thousands of appeals an- nually from the decisions of these courts, having headquarters in the counties, to the district appellate courts. Some hundreds of cases go up each year from the district courts of appeals to the state supreme court. The figures showing the percentage of appeals courts decisions reversed by the supreme court are not at hand, but it may be assented conservatively that in most cases substantial justice is done by the common pleas and ap- peals courts. It would be impossible, of course, for the one supreme court sitting in Columbus to hear all the cases now carried up from common pleas courts to the intermediate appeals, courts. It would, however, be possible and prac- ticable to confer upon the district ap- peals courts. It would, however, be possible and practicable to confer up- on the district appeals courts final jurisdiction in all, or most cases in which there may be unanimous agree- ment among the three judges.

A Station-to-Station call is one that is made to a certain telephone rather than to some person in particular. If you do not know the number of the distant telephone, give the operator the name and address and specify that you will talk with "anyone" who answers at the called telephone. A Person-to-Person call, because more work is involved, costs more than a Station-to-Station call. The rate on a Person-to-Person call is the same at all hours. I i I!
