Hofelich higher prices for glass and other building materials are likely to cause the farmer some perplexion as to just where his "relief" arises from this plan. The reasoning would be abstruse indeed which claimed that the farmer benefits from higher prices of any com- modities. In his campaign prom- ises, Mr. Hoover did not mention that his high tariff system for farm relief was to be laid on the shaky foundation of higher prices for the things farmers must buy. The added duty to building ma- terials will never be compensated by the higher rate on milk, because the competition for the local milk market has never reached a suffi- cient keenness to cause the Ameri- can farmers any qualms. Yet there are many farmers who will feel the effects of the higher cost of building their homes and many who may even suffer from such an increase. The President should at least relate some of his, high tariff plans to the generialt subject of, farm relief, or the farmers will think the manufacturers and not themselves are receiving the bene- fits of the bill. WHY? Two attempts will shortly be made to fly the Atlantic by air- plane one starting from Roosevelt field with Paris as the objective and the other from Old Orchard Maine, with Rome as the intended landing point. Colonel Lindbergh proved it could be done; many others who have tried to emulate him have roared off into space and disappeared forever.' What will be gained by further attempts-at this stage of the game? Airplane construction has not advanced during the past three years to the point where a trans- Atlantic flight is a safe proposition Moreover the ships of the size used in the attempted flights are of no value commercially insofar as ocean flights are concerned. Such flights add little or nothing to scientific knowledge. All the in- formation that manufacturers wish may be and is being obtained in endurance tests such as the one now in progress at Fort Worth Surely there is no necessity for heading a plane over a three thousand mile stretch of barren sea to aid in the advancement of air travel. It is true that there must always be pioneers in every human under- taking. The Wright Brothers risk- ed their lives in the initial develop- ment of heavier than air machines, but they did it within hailing dis- tance of the rest of the world. What reason can be put forth for the continued hazardous attempts to fly the Atlantic in machines that will not in the future be used for such an undertaking. Somehow these flights do not fit into the picture of safety on which airplane manufacturers have spent advertising fortunes in the past few years. No open-minded person can deny the success of aviation, the rapid growth of pop- ularity of commercial flying; be- cause the advertisers have careful- ly 'nursed the urge. But New York to Paris attempts in planes that rarely reach their destination do much to destroy the faith of the millions who waver and who will eventually discredit the entire idea unless flying is kept within reason- abe bounds.

Clearly it is a manifestation of the student body's regard for Doctor Little. The affair was conceived and is being carried to completion by students. It is sponsored by no special organization. It is rather an outlet for a unanimous im- pulse which, as the time for the severance of the President's rela- tions with the University draws nearer, becomes ever more keenly felt by the individual members of the student body themselves. Aside from that, the banquet testifies to certain qualities inherent in the President himself, qualities which, unfortunately, have not before the announcement of his resignation received the publicity they war- rant. The President, as has been asseverated so vigorously and so vainly of late, is a humanist, and none but such a man could receive what might almost be called a spontaneous tribute from his stu- dent body. Those who are fortunate enough to attend the banquet tonight will be a privileged group, privileged because of the calibre of the man they are honoring and privileged because they can with all assured- ness be conscious that his interests for three years have been centered in them as individuals, as human beings. The group meeting tonight at the Union will be representative beyond doubt. An affair so con- ceived must be. It is a pity indeed that more than the limited number of 500 men and women cannot at- tend. But President Little will doubtless feel that it is the entire student body that is present, and in spirit, doubtless, it will be. BY THE BOOT STRAPS The flexible provisions of the Fordney-McCumber Tariff act have made it possible for President Hoover to exercise arbitrary pow- ers in levying new tariffs. As a re- sult, he has increased the duty on window glass a.nd milk, both of which are calculated to improve the condition of the over-worked farmer. President Hoover's action was TONIGHT: The second May Festival concert in Hill Auditorium -beginning promptly at 8:15 o'clock. 1I TONIGHT: A presentation of "You Never Can Tell" by Bernard Shaw in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater, commencing at 8:15, with the curtain at 8:30 o'clock.

PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS (The Cornell Daily Sun) Mr. Edward Filene, the well- known Boston merchant, recently made a survey of the universities and colleges of the country in which "the study of business is be- ing carried on through depart- ments of commerce, or schools of commerce, finance, and business administration." And Mr. Filene deplores the fact that only seventy of the universities and colleges are offering such courses of instruction to their students. But he "feels confident that they will increase rapidly as the value of business research becomes more apparent to both business-men and educators." Is not Mr. Filene permitting his viewpoint to be narrowed, and his understanding of educational prob- lems to be clouded? It is hardly the function of the university to develop highly efficient book-keep- ers, or salesmen, or bank-presi- dents. The university is not an in- stitution where the more promis- ing young men apply themselves with tools, to use in carving for themselves a more secure niche in life. The university does not strive to make doctors, or lawyers, or en- gineers, or efficiency-experts, of its MAY FESTIVAL TICKETS A Limited Number of Season Tickets ($6.00, $7.00,,$ 8.00), and tickets for individual concerts ($1.50, $2.00, $2.50) are still available AT THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC Beginning Wednesday Noon TICKET SALE WILL CONTINUE AT HILL AUDITORIUM A I 'a III
