NIGHT EDITOR-KARL SEIFFERT
TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1932
Facing
A New Year
HE year 1931 was calamitous. The anxiety
which in 1930 deepened with the passing of
the months fastened more securely its hold upon
the year that followed. Today we stand upon the
threshold of a new year, uncertain as to the, future,
concerned as to the outcome. Our'machine civil-
ization, as one writer puts it, has become para-
lyzed. We face the way.ahead of us because we
are unable to xiagnose the causes. Nor is th
discontent and suffering bred of depression held
to our country alone. The paralysis has kept
creeping, fastening itself on other countries, until
we no longer speak of it as an ordinary panic
occasioned cyclically by various nations. Our
problenis have become, those of other countries;
their problems no less our own.
Despite this attitude, however, there is no rea-
son to look out upon the new year with despair;
it is a time for hope. For man-and man alone-
As the "captain of his own fate." The means' of
progression and retrogression are in his own
hands. One thing he cannot do, Mr. Fosdick says.
That is stand still. That privilege nature allows
to no living organism. If man, then, can advance
or retreat at will, is there any reason to believe
that "he would choose the simplest of paths and
permit himself to go backwards?;
Perhaps; as we have been told, we are in a,
period of'change. But whatever the circumstance,
recovery from the present ills will be slows Solu-
tions will ;be difficult, yet the answers will be
f found. We cannot provide a w y out since we
are not endowed with the mental strength neces-
sary to right the present order. There is nothing
we can do but to have hope and leave to those
who are able the striking of the right note.

To The Editor:
After absorbing the impressive review of the re-
cent Detroit Symphony orchestra in your columns,
some of your readers might be mildly interested in
the impressions of an inexpert listener.
One really has to read such an acidulous analysis
before he can realize how mistaken he was in his
enjoyment of the program. I enjoyed it throughout;
and worse still, I confessed tie fact to several per-
sons before I learned how bad it was. I daresay I
applauded heartily at the 'very places where Mr.
Gabrilowitsch was most "ridiculous."
One, takes a risk in letting himself enjoy any
musical number. If it is modern he may shortly
discover that it was commonpoce; if it is an old
classic, it may turn out to have been a second per-
formance in the same city. The last is especially
reprehensible. There ought to be a city ordinance
against any further repititions\ of the 1Pathetique
symphony, for example-or of Beethoven's Seventh,
which to my positive knowledge the Boston Orchestra

to be some way. of admonishing thq listener in ad-
vance, so he can sit there and despise it instead of
naively enjoying it, as I did Welngartner's inept
polyphonic mistake revived by the "vicious" taste of
Mr. Gabrilowitsch.
I am glad that your reviewer found merit in the
Brahms symphony and its presentation, for I used
to play some of Brahms' music and thought he was
a rather good composer. I guessed right, evidently,
when I applauded that number. But still it was a
rotten concert.
Perhaps we should recast Matthew Arnold's defi-
nition of criticism and call it a disinterested en-
deavor to convince people that they are all wet in
the matter of art. Stuart H. Perry, '00.

SCIEEN EFLECR
AT THE MICHIGAN
Sunday night's audience at the Michigan broke
into a laugh at the first appearance of Bert Lahr
and Charlotte. Greenwood in "Flying High" and fairly
giggled itself into spasms before the end of the
picture.
Lahr far- outdoes the similar work' of Joe Brown,
and in this show fairly brings down the house with,
his excrutiating antics, having an excellent foil in
the angular and muscular Miss Greenwood.
The story, amply disguised by the introduction of
numerous musical and chorus numbers, concerns the
foibles of a half-wit aeroplane inventor and a doubt-
ful stock promoter. The former, of course,. is the
ridiculous Lahr, while Pat O'Brien takes the latter
role.
Charlotte Greenwood is the man-hunting waitress
who pays $500 in order to secure Lahr as her hus-
band, clinching the deal without having seen her
prospective spouse. Lahr, bashful and shy, refuses
to go through with the deal, but relents and follows
the programme to save his pal from jyil. and there
you are.
AT THE MAJESTIC
Clive Brook's latest is a somewhat sombre pro-
duction built on the old Eternal Triangle lines. Two
very fine feminine parts are offered by Vivienne Os-
borne, who plays the part of the wife who is too loyal
to her home to divorce an untrue husband, and
Juliette Compton, the Other Woman --and she does
the part very much in the manner of the 'Great
Garbo.
Brook's part asumes a distinctly secondary posi-
tion in the plot, taking on the nature of a mirror
reflecting the reactions set up by the opposite influ-
ences of the two women, one the mother of his

HEALTH
"CATARRH"
Health Service
The word "catarrh" is a colimon
layman's term for a variety of
symptoms associated with the nasal
passages. The word has no exact
meaning in medicine since it does
not represent a disease entity.
With the development of modern
ways of life, with constantly in-
creasing and frequent exposure to
changes of temperature and humi-
dity, and with more frequent per-
sonal contact in crowded places the
human body is more subject to re-
peated insults from the disease
producing organisms. The skin is
relatively impervious to these in-
vaders, but the linings of the nose
and throat, with the peculiar type
of tissue (lymphoid) receive in-
creasingly greater and often over-
whelming exposure.
Severe infections of the upper
respiratory passages in students of
the University of Michigan are usu-
ally found in those who have di-
seased tonsils, or deformities of the
nasal. bones or both. For proper
function, the air passages of the
nose and throat must be in good
structural condition. The narrow
space of the nose is none too wide
under normal conditions, and is
very frequently encroached upon
by the results of long standing in-
fection and displacement of the
thin partition (sep tum) between
the two nasal cavities!.
Exposure to outside pressure in
the form of blows, often received in
athletic events, particularly boxing
a n d football, frequently fracture
the septum, and cause obstruction
to the proper passage of air. Points
of contact are thus formed between
the mucous membrane of the sep-
tumn and that of the outside wall
of the nose. At these points of con-
tact, nasal secretion collects, be-
comes dried by the continued ex-
posure to air, and is a good medi-
um for bacterial growth. Thus the
infection is established. As a result
the mucous membrane swells, the
'oint of contact enlarges and this
process sets up a continuous irrita-
tion increasing the obstruction,
even in cases where there is no
known injury, the deformity may
be due to a slight accident in early
life such as rolling over on the floor
on one's face, or a very slight bump
on the nose such as every small
child experiences. This early in-
jury displaces the cartilages and
future growth accentuates the mal-
position. Such nasal deformities are
varied and very common. They are
predisposing factors to deafness,
