A GAME FOR CHARITY The example of Northwestern and Notre Dame in transferring their football game from the Evanston stadium to Soldiers' Field, Chicago, for the purposes of securing larger receipts for charity leads us to sup- port the suggestion that Michigan engage in a post-season game with the University of Detroit, the pro- ceeds of which could be used to excellent advantage by the com- mittee in charge of charities in Ann Arbor and Detroit. The exigencies of this coming winter are already apparent from the depression and unemployment conditions. In the case of a charity game, it should be entirely possible to make successful negotiations for the game with a neighboring team. Furthermore, a post-season game with an outfit such as the Univers- ity of Detroit team would occasion such interest as would make the undertaking eminently yWorthwhile. FASTER AND FASTER The Germans, erstwhile' leaders in the arts of engineering and mechanics, have again startled the world with a new device which will mean faster and faster transporta- tion for the future citizens of the world. The "Zeppelin-train" pro- pelled by a 400-horsepower airplane motor, drove the cigar-shaped transport over an old, discarded railroad track at the rate of 100 miles an hour in a test held before' newspaper men on Saturday. It was the Germans who, in 1916, startled the world by pouring a deadly gas upon a band of unfor- tunate Canadians at Vimy Ridge. The use of this deadly gas was cer- tainly far from being of benefit to the human race, but the principle of achievement remained. Late last winter a giant seaplane, the DO-X, took off from a German lake on its trial flight preparatory to cross- ing the Atlantic this fall with a crew and passenger list totaling 140, the largest ever lifted by heavier than air devices. And now, again, it is the German scientific mind, the laboratories along the Rhine that give us an even faster mode of travel-a train propelled by airplane motors. It was along this same track a year and a half ago that the first rocket car made a successful attempt. What will be the result of this startling invention? Will the speed- ier Zeppelin-Train displace the more cumbersome locomotive? In- ventors of the new device claim that it will get four miles to the gallon of gasoline. At a cost of 20 cents a gallon, the fuel expense per mile is 5 cents, or hundreds of times cheaper than the most eco- 'nomical locomotive k n o w n to science. We may be envious, and we may even carry with us the prejudice of the war, but we sometimes have to admit that Germany is just about two steps ahead of almost every other country in science. Her inventions are not only based on theory-they prove themselves as practical in test after test. Just how much difference to the science of transportation this newest gift from the Rhine will make is a matter of argument, but it is cer- tain that the principle involved will eventually be employed throughout the industrial world. Our campus leaders, we under- stand, having been surfeited with theiriefforts to enforce pot-wearing on the freshmen, are now about to take unto themselves a new tradi- tion, also sartorical. Corduroy trou- sers may be foisted upon our sight,j presumably because wearing them seems the virile thing to do. Be- sides being emblematic of virility, they are also the hallmark of truck drivers and dyed-in-the- wool rustics. EDITORS AND PATRIOTS (California Daily Bruin) College newspaper editors east and west appear to be breaking on the front page of metropolitan dailies with regularity in the past few weeks due to somewhat amaz- ing remarks made in their editor- ials. Most recent of these is the case of the editor of the Harvard Crimson. In no uncertain terms did this young man score the American Legion for the conduct of some of its members during the convention of that society at the "Hub." The bold accusations made in the article brought forth an amazing number of replies from indignant "natrints." noliticians. and mem- r _. ,,.. ED ROLL GARGOYLE I s OUT..'.I-!

It seems they ran out of ideas, and are leaving it up to the public to complete the job. * *k * The prize for the best draw- ing is one re-made diploma that Rolls has left over from the chivalry campaign, and a chance to be editor of Gar- goyle next year (careful boys, You'll get sucked in!) * * * Before I turn the column over to contributors, I- wish to make one more statement.

M SIC AND DR Ann Verner Tlorthea Waterman Alice McCully Dorothy Bloomgarden Dorothy v Laylin Sosephine Convisser ernide Glaser H-ortense Gooding Laura Codling Ethel Constas Anna Goldberg Virginia McComb Joan Wiese Mary Watts Marian Atran Sylvia Miller di A MONTH IN THE COUNTRY A Review. No rationalizing references to the Russian technique in drama can establish Turgeniev's "A Month in the Country" as a good drama. It is tedious almost all the time. But more significantly, as a drama it makes no use of the fact of pro- duction, the fact of the literary work taking its life in the theatre. A novelist, with a sound feeling for character in situation, places his material in four acts. There is no effort in the realization of that material to summon "theatre" as a qualifying, significant mode of I expression. The alternation of pic- ture and movement in "A Month in the Country" has no meaning. The play has no "theatre" rhythm. This resolves itself into the objections. There is no particular point to "seeing and hearing" the material of the play. One need not see the spectacle of a strong mas- culine mind becoming disgustingly (though, or because, dignifiedly arid decently) parasitic to a beau- tiful woman of a shallow, irritable, prima-donna temperament. There, is no point in "seeing" a young tutor, new to the social world, be-j wildered at the same aristocratic' middle-aged woman's falling in love with him. The externals there -the dialogue, the situations aris- ing, etc.,-are almost predictable. At least they are easy to be appre- hended. They are very liable to be dull (as here). The interesting thing in the material is the set of mental atti- tudes prompting these common- place externals. More specifically one would be grateful for the novel in which Turgeniev analytically explored the "depths" of Natalie Petrovna's shallowness. One is bored by the play which reproduces it. Indeed, Turgeniev has splen- lidly analyzed the strong man be- 2oming parasitic, then suddenly so passionately resenting his weak- ness as to become strong again in the relationship of Bazarov to Madame Odenstor in "Fathers and Sons." A similar relationship is dull in "A Month in the Country." All of which is not a case for the novel but the suggestion that a ;ood novelist will be a bad drama- tist, unless he be a poetic drama- tist, an expressionist, or a Chekhov, in which, words, while remaining in situation, present the introspectve aspect of the material. Turgeniev is neither. The production is dis- appointing. The Guild doesn't take its road tours too seriously. Missing from the original cast are Alexan- der Kirkland (who, one guesses would have made something of the absolutely unwritten part of the tutor), and Dudley Digges (whose doctor, one knows, would have been splendid). Their substitutes are. very poor. In fact, except for three splen- didly colorful sets, Henry Traver's uproarious few minutes as an inar- ticulate suitor, and Alla Nazimova, the production is incompetent- in no way reaching what one likes to think of as the Guild standard. Miss Nazimova's performance is worthwhile. Turgeniev, drawing an acquaintance of his, made quite an extraordinary character. Natalie Petrovna suggests the actress in the "Sea Gull." She is fiercely ego- 'entric; a "beauty" who clutches at men, that by their obsession with her, and shallow excitement, she may postpone the realization of approaching oldness. Miss Nazimova suggests all this with interesting technique. But even more interesting is her sym- pathy with the character, suggested by her moderating the irratibility. She, herself, is most graceful when the character is most objection- able. And yet she does not distort the character. This is so-called "creative acting." In this place it is not objectionable and certainly fascinating. W. J. G. DISHONORED LADY AT CASS Catherine Cornell, it seems, was destined to mirror that much dis- cussed and much sought after "lady without repressions." She is now in Detroit playing the woman whose sin found her out. This time she is Madeline Cary in the DISHON- ORED LADY, a play which em- phasizes the emotional side of human nature at the expense of mere dramatic trappings, which was written by Margaret Ayer Barnes and Edward Sheldon, and which enjoyed something of a New ovr rin last season, due mostlvI G .._._ -- ._._..._ I rwdL MONROE LUNCH Corner Monroe and Oakland A pipeful of good tobacco is the real smoke T CODAY, tomorrow, all the rest of your life, you can en- joy and keep on enjoying good tobacco in a good pipe. "How can I pick a good pipe, and how can I tell good tobacco?" you may ask. Who but you could answer? You'll know your own good pipe when you bite down on it. Edgeworth maybe the tobacco you're looking for. It has the dis- tinctive flavor that men like, the slow-burning coolness; and it is rich with the aroma of fine old burley blended just right. A pipe- ful of Edgeworth is the real smoke. Why not try Edgeworth? You can buy it anywhere in the 150 tin-or, if you wish, write for a generous sample packet - free. Address: Larus & Bro.

REINDEL POLITICAL PRUNING The University of Wisconsin has' recently taken an excellent step inI the matter of cleaning up campusl politics by abolishing six classl offices. This, move was started in 1928, when, at the instigation of the "Daily Cardinal," the list w Ls cut by 13 positions. Presidents of the freshman a n d sophomore classes were made the chairmen of their respective - frolic and prom committees in order to make them more than mere figureheads, and to abolish the promising of such lucrative jobs to their campaign' managers and henchmen. This year the students at Madison will elect only four class officers, senior prom chairman, junior prom chair- man, and sophomore and freshman class presidents. Although the matter of the num- ber of offices, elective and appoint- ive, that might be desirable is a debatable- question, it is only too appareAt that altogether too many exist at Michigan. Vice-presidents of all classes accomplish nothing, nor do secretaries. The treasurers sit for weeks in Angell hall at- tempting to collect class dues from members of their class to make up for deficits in class functions. The number of committees ap- pointed by presidents to reward their electioneering helpers is enor- mous. Many of these groups never do anything more than have their name printed in the 'Ensian. Such. committees as were appointed last year include Class Banquet and Class Year book in the junior class; Advisory, Social, Athletic, Execu- tive and Finance committees ap- pointed in all classes. The various Frolic, Prom, Hop and Ball com- mittees take care of most of the social work for the class, as well as the financial burdens. Such com- mittees as Cap Night, Swing Out, Discipline, and most of the senior onnnintments are istified.
