Perhaps not, but it will come nearer to solving the problem than any other tax that can be devised. And so, by placing a tax on illegal beer, the House admits the existence of the bootlegging racket-an illegal industry-but it would rather see the profits go to other channels than those of the government. As one writer has said, "Those whom the Gods would destroy they first make mad." F, IMJS]C nd DRAM~ A 1 "NO MAN A Re By Richar B. Gilbreth Roland A. 1Larl NIGHT EDITORS J.

GILBRETH 12) "Hungry Co-Ed>' THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1932 College Students 'Study' Miners ARLY this month a group of New Fork col- lege students decided to go to Kentucky to study the mining conditions there which have been such as to flaunt both state and national super- vison and have led to violence of nation-wide importance.. Last wekk upon arriving at the site of the dis- turbance they were told -to leave and that they were not wanted necessitating a complaint to the Governor because of mistreatment. The same re- ception was given to Theodore Dreiser and others who went to the backwoods regions to "study" conditions there and as yet nothing very truthful has come out. We agree with Governor Horton in saying that anyone wishing to venture into the mining region; where the trouble is most intense, to seek permis- sion and that no one should go there with bol- shevist or communistic purposes. The miners, who evidently have defied law and order as well as all set sociological traditions, are certainly not to be sympathized with for their actions but when one considers the circumstances, it is clear that there is just cause for their actions. Ever since reports first emanated that people were starving and that riots resulting in a number of deaths had broken out, novelists, magazine writ- ers, reformers, communists, bolshevists, sensation seekers, and newspapermen have gone there to "study" them. and possibly to get material for a book or an article. The strikers clearly showed,' that despite imminent starvation, they did not want any interference and wanted to work out their problems themselves. No doubt they would have solved everything had the right thing been done but with the super- fluous and totally unneeded crowds who constantly tried to "study' them they became provoked and were put; in a state which prevented any helpful action. No more crowds such as have gone down there should be allowed for they only complicate mat- ters worse. If any help is forthcoming to the people there it should come from the right sources. College students, novelists, and others are clearly not wanted. The miners are not right in some of the things they have donebut they have proved a very salient point to those who like to butt into affairs that don't concern them-mind your own business! 13) The scenery and the costuming (articu- larly Angell all's front steps). 14) The J.G.P. The London String quartet and Raymond Morin, piano student in the School of Music, will give con- certs this afternoon and tonight in Lydia Mendel- ssohn theatre to close an active month of musical activity. Morin, who has appeared four times before in campus concerts during the last two years, will ap- pear in his recital at 4:15 o'clock this afternoon while the quartet, which marks the final offering of the Ann Arbor Chamber Music society's series of con- certs, is scheduled for 8:15 o'clock. The piano porgram, as announced yesterday in- cludes: "Sonata in E Minor," Opus 7 by Grieg: Brahms' "Sonata in F Minor"; "Two Preludes" by Scrabine; "Funeral March to a Statesman" by Lord Berners; Tansman's "Spiritual and Blues" (from Transatlantic Sonatine); "Rhapasody in Blue" by Gershwin; "Mazurka, Opus 30, No. 4." and "Etude in C Minor" by Grieg. The concert by Morin will be the last one in Ann Arbor for him. CIREEN 1REFLEVTIN AT THE MAJESTIC f "The Silent Witness" Greta Nissen, as Nora Selmer, the wicked, plot- ting, scheming vampire who is supposedly murdered by the son of an English gentleman in "The Silent Witness," is her usual seductive, snaky self with fewer opportunities to act in the current vehicle. And considering the way in which she plays her part. it is just as;well. A weak plot never provides ample opportunity for effective acting. "The Silent Witness" provides fewer opportunities than most weak plots, except for the' father of the wronged young man, who lies on the witness stand to protect his son. And Lionel Atwill as the father, makes the best of these opportunities Bramwell Fletcher, as the son, hasn't much to do and does it nicely. Probably the only really interesting shot of the entire show comes, however, when a nondescript taxi driver takes the stand and baffles the austere British court with his too-ready replies that smack of weak humor. The plot finally leads, as would be expected in such a case, to the confession of an eye-witness who reveals to a not-too-surprised audience, that the father and the son are not guilty, but the woman's no-account husband. It, might be mentioned, as further evidence of the limits of the production, that the happy son and his intended embrace beautifully as the curtain falls on the perennial happy ending. The next Majestic show will "be another of those zipping, zooming airplane pictures. All the others have been good; we are anxiously awaiting this one. ~~--,ulerr "T~Y P E- W R I T I N M IM3 Frmtly and. neatlydoei our oRS shop by etent . HAPPY DAYS erators at moderalrates AHEAD FOR .

Never has such a :radiction of existing conditions been made in gt years in Congress. After defeating a tax egal beer, prohibitionists proceeded to put one llegal beer.

In passing the bill, the dry fanatics declared the' bill would yield about $50,000,000 annual- : the revenue. In expecting this huge amount -evenue, the House prohibitionists recognized magnitude of the bootlegging industry. EDITORAL COMMENT i HE STARTED COOLIDGE (Niles Daily Star) Judge R. W.
