Co., Inc., of New York was ordered by the federal
trade commission to cease "unfair competitive
practices" in the sale of aspirin . .. it is prohib-
ited from stating or implying that the word "as-
pirin" is the company's trade-mark and from as-
serting without proper qualifications that the
product has "no harmful after effects," "does not
depress the heart" and the like.'
"Is this news or a business operation report?
Ask your neighbor. Numerous New Yorkers liv-
ing in Brattleboro made wager on whether the
New York newspapers, which carry large Bayer
advertising, would print the government fiid-
ings. The next morning the New York newspapers
were searched. Everyone reported there was no
mention in the Times. But these persons were
mistaken. On page forty-one, which is devoted
to business news, following a tin plate report,
appears a small item with a one column head:
'BAYER BOWS TO AD ORDER.'

'Company consents to Federal Ban on "onl3
Genuine Aspirin" claim.
'Washington, Sept. 19.- The Federal Trade
Commission announced today that Bayer Com-
pany, Inc. of New York City had consented tc
the issuance of a cease and desist order issueC
against certain alleged unfair competitive prac-
tides in the sale of the company's aspirin ... The
commission, the announcement said "makes it
clear that its order is not to be construed as
preventing the Bayer company from making pro-
per therapeutic claims or recommendations based
on reputable medical opinion or recognized med-
ical or pharmaceutical literature." "
And Mr. Seldes comments:
... An important fact is the government de-
cision which the Brattleboro Reformer prints, that
aspirin, any aspirin, can have harmful after ef-
fects and does depress the heart. In Brattleboro
the order against the Bayer Company to delete
opposite claims is published but not in the Times."
That is our New York Times -veritably the
outstanding newspaper in the United States - but
printing an article which any journalist will tell
you is important news on page forty-one, not to
mention the other New York City newspapers,
the Herald-Tribune, the News, the World-Tele-
gram, and the Post.
We do not want to seem as old ladies and say
that we are in danger of becoming violently ill if
we take Bayer aspirin and possibly die. No, that
is scarcely feasible, and that is not our point.
What we believe wrong is that news was deleted
that would have enlightened the American public.
Not only do we have screaming bill boards on
every highway, mellifluous radio voices, and at-
tractive advertisements in newspapers and mag-
azines passing bunk to us every day of the
week, but when one is accused by the United States
government of expressly telling us that something
is not harmful to our health when it is decidedly
so, it is time to do something about it. The cam-
paign of silence on the part of a large portion
of the newspapers should come to an end.

The Wicked Freshmen
To the Editor:
At the Michigan-Indiana game the freshmen
appeared on the field carrying a banner which
bore the legend "T'Hell with '38."
I firmly believe in such displays of class spirit,
but strenuously object to the use of profane, blas-
phemous and obscene language on a publicly-
displayed banner. The word "H-i" is considered
by the best circles to be vulgar, and from a relig-
ious point of view it is impossible to countenance
it. I urge the University to curb this public display
of smut by an overzealous group of adolescents.

[THE SCREEN]
AT THE MAJESTIC
"Little Big Shot," a Warner Brothers production star-
ring Sybil Jayson, Glenda Farrel and Robert Mont-
gomery; and "Red Heads on Parade," Fox, with Dixie
Lee and John Boles.
I*
Double Feature
As Others SeeIt_
Course In Thinking
(From the Temple University News)
LET'S LOOK at John Doe.
And now Warner Brothers come along with their
conception of Shirley Temple. Sybil Jayson, who
plays the juvenile lead in "Little Big Shot," is a
better actress than her more famous contemporary,
but her coaching in the dancing and singing arts
was faulty.
The current offering is a combination of gang-
ster, musical and frank melodrama. Robert Mont-
gomery, who has grown stouter, is the small time
confidence man who, with his partner, Edward
Everett Horton, is the unfortunate receiver of an
acquaintance's child, Sybil Jayson. The innocent
is left with Montgomery in a restaurant and the
remainder of the film tells of his efforts, first to
desert her and next to get her back from the
orphanage.
The plot or plots are obviously built around the
homeless babe and were it not for the over-sordid
atmosphere of the picture, Sybil Jayson might
have gotten much further in her attempts to con-
vince her audience that it should cry and laugh at
the right moments. For the first time in ages
Horton mi'sses fire. His side glances seem a trifle
worn and with Montgomery trying to scamper
from place to place even with all his weight, the
all-round over acting is accentuated.
Glenda Farrel who insisted on "soap boxing"
Montgomery, finally succeeds in forcing him to get
a job instead of trying to wring a living from the
sale of fake watches on street corners.
The best sequence in the picture is the scene
where Jack LaRue practically falls into Mont-
gomery's lap after being shot by Norton, the
chief gangster of all those which waltz in and out
of the shots.
Sybil seems a little overworked. She cries or
looks precocious in every other scene and the few
junctures when she is caught looking natural, her
ability is really apparent. As for her adopted god-
father, Norton, he looks very worried throughout
and just as he cannot find an audience for his
gags in Sybil, so does he find it impossible to look
comically outraged to the audience. One of his few
lighter spots arrives at the end, where, for the
first time in pictures, he is seen beating up a thug.
Dixie Lee and John Boles in "Red Heads on Pa-
rade" hand in a decent job with a dragging story.
Boles is his usual singing self and despite the fact
that he seems a little old for Dixie, he is fairly
convincing as her lover. Dance ensembles topped
with red heads exclusively, are scattered toward
the end. It all concludes with a genuine movie
wedding, red heads lining the aisle and every-
thing.
that professors ask a question in thinking, mixed
in with the rote knowledge of the semester, before
giving final grades.
But we ask you not to squirm.
If you'll believe the commencement orators and
the white-bearded gentlemen who write about
"The College Student of Today," you'll find that
the thing which makes you different from raccoon-
coated students of other decades is your ability to
think clearly and logically.

In the evening meeting of the con-
ference, at which Prof. Arthur E.
Wood of the sociology department
presided, Dr. Louis A. Schwartz, con-
sutling psychiatrist at the Children's
Center in Detroit, spoke on "The
Modern Family."
After tracing the progress of the
family institution during recent
years, Dr. Schwartz asserted, "The
inefficiency of the present economic
order, as well as even during the so-
called 'prosperous times,' to provide
a decent standard of living for the
masses of the people, must bear most
of the blame for much of the de-
moralization that is, at present, Wit-
nessed in connection with the family
disorganization."
This morning's session of the con-
ference, meeting at 9 a.m. in Room
319 of the Union, will be in charge
of Miss Claire M. Sanders of De-
troit, and will consider "Public and
Private Social Work - Allies or Com-
petitors."
Mrs. Blythe Francis, of the Grand
Rapids Family Service Association,
will speak at this meeting on "The
Private Field," and Francis MBroorn,
of the Detroit Department of Welfare,
will discuss "The Public Field."
"Implications of Social Security
Legislation" will be the subject of a
talk by Miss Lea Taylor ,of Chicago
Commons, at 7:30 p.m. Miss Harret
J. Comstock, president of the con-
ference and sister of former Gover-
nor William A. Comstock, will pre-
side at this session.
Vivisection Is
Topic Of Talk
By Dr. Stoner
Pharmacy Students Told
Problems Encounterea
In Research Work
Vivisection, pharmacy students
were informed by Dr. W. H. Stonr
of the Burroughs Wellcome Co., is an
extremely important, though fr-
quently misrepresented, part of re-
search.
Dr. Stoner, outside contact man
for the Burroughs Wellcome Research
Company, in a talk to pharmacy stU-
dents ,discussed the opportunities aid
problems which are encountered in
research work, at the same time
enumerating the companies which
employ research laboratories, the po-
sitions which such firms offer college
graduates, and the salaries which the
various jobs may be expected to pay.
Students were advised that in this
sort of employment the wages are
more directly proportional to one's
value to the company than in any
other field.
"Beware of the small company re-
search departments," warned Dr.
Stoner; many such firms use thei
laboratories as "scenery" with which
to impress customers. The directors
have little or no qualifications, and
can appreciate no special geniu
which those under them might ex-
hibit. On the other hand, he said, a
large company realize the valuable
contributions which a research lab-
oratory can make in te way o in-
creased efficiency.
"Women fill one of the most im-
portant positions in a research lab-
oratory," Dr. Stoner said. They are
of great value as research librarians;
it is the librarian who, with a trained
group of interpreters and experts,
must read through countless dusty
volumes to find every available bit
of material on the problem with
which the laboratory is concerned at
the time.

NE LEARNS a few things in three
or four years of college. One of
hiem is what is wrong with college.
There was a time when we resented warmly any
ttempt to force compulsory courses upon us.
|nglish, said we, is bad enough, but we'll tolerate
- but the thought of having to study Latin,
iathematics, or history was too much.
And so we agitated, along with the enlightened
ducators who thought that these classical courses
'ere so much extra baggage in this modern world,
nd would never be of any "practical" benefit.
.nd thus freed, we took courses of practical bene-
t, in economics, education, and political science.
Now that we're old timers, the awful realiza-
ion sometimes creeps over us, like fog coming
pthe river, that we're ignorant of the things that
elly constitute knowledge. We're dishearteningly
e tobacco or whisky that's artificially cured,
Cssing that mellow flavor that results from proper
ging. These things we know constitute the im-
lements of a middle-class mind, isolated from the
istorical and philosophic background through
7hich it has been derived.
A familiar argument, perhaps, but it is none the
,s true that the universal elements in our con-
enporary knowledge are the classical elements.
tithout a working familiarity with the classics and
.assical fhought, the awfulness of the human iso-
iion becomes a terrifying reality..
We wish that we knew Greek. We'd like to be
,ble to read Plato and Homer; and if we knew
atin, we would hunger for Virgil's polished verses.
)nte's "Inferno" would be a treasure house if
miy we had learned Italian.
Well, we couldn't learn all that, perhaps, but we
>uld begin, and if we had come to know any part
f it well, we would leave school with a stronger
nse of security than we have now for our incom-
eted structure built without a foundation.

John is the professor's standby. He's the
fellow with the glasses who sits on the third
row of your Latin class. You'll find him in sta-
tistics, too. A better-than-average student, he got
four B's, two A's last semester.
When there's a difficult passage to translate,
the professor calls on John. John prepares his
lesson. John scintillates in a mass of conjunc-
tions. John is smug in placid ease. The professor
labels him "an intelligent, thinking boy."
Then John strays into a course in logic or in
political theory. The professor wanders from the
original premise and asks for opinions on good
government: "What's the matter with our gov-
ernment? What does good government mean?"
John squirms. The rest of the class squirms.
The class utters the "er-ers" of not knowing
what to say. They can apply the formuli of al-
gebra. They can memorize a translation of Cicero.
They have an abundance of the two-plus-two-
equals-four kind of knowledge. But they have a
const'itutional deficiency Which makes them abhor
thinking.
This isn't a soap-box editorial. We aren't ask-
ing you to spend 15 minutes each day in the
perilous process of thinking. We aren't asking
that a course in thinking be included in the curric-
ula of the University. We aren't even demanding

Directs Work Of 310,000 Women
By SIGRID ARNE
r HE OFFICE is in an old building not far west
of the White House. The walls are scarred.
The furniture is old and unmatched. Maps cover
the walls. Telephones ring. Letters pile up to be
signed by the auburn-haired lady at the desk.
She starts her day at 8 a.m. She nibbles belated
lunch at three. She stops to tell a secretary she
will see a textile manufactui'er at 8 p.m.
She has the responsibility on her shoulders
of the 310,000 women who are on work-relief.
Her name is Ellen Woodward and she comes from
Mississippi. She makes two small concessions to
femininity; she has a huge bouquet of flowers on
her desk, and she likes smart clothes. Her small,
alert figure looks well in that orchid and white
suit.
Her voice is gentle and her blue eyes kind and
calm. Perhaps no other woman in the world today
has the fate of so many of her sisters in the palm
of her hand.
Right now she is engaged in setting up a huge
sewing room which will employ a great number of
these women. They will turn 150,000,000 yards of
cottAn in the nevx tiV months iin r+h, fr-
dole," she says. "Anyone capable of contributing
to the country should have the right to do so.
"Have you heard what the women's committee
did in Charleston, W. Va.? They went from door
to door and placed 1,100 penniless women in jobs,
and the town has only 60,000 population.
"And do you know about my state manager in
Missouri?" She laughs mischievously. "She had
women working in an overall factory. One day
she felt so proud over the perfection of their
craftsmanship she scooped up an armful of over-
alls and went to see a manufacturer she knew.
He ended by hiring all those women right off the
relief rolls."
Perhaps, for her own comfort, Mrs. Woodward
can see too far into the homes of those without
money or jobs. She feels that each plan, if it
involves only one of the 310,000, may be the
turning point in a hitherto unfortunate life. So
no letter leaves her office she has not seen.
She came to Washington first when her father,
William Sullivan, was senator. Later, at 19, she
married a young lawyer and settled in Louisville,
Miss. There "Ellie" Woodward took her first big
dose of civic work. She planned and talked until
the town bought a deserted, wooded piece of
Coach Yost's Wolverine jugger-
naut, since that time generally re-
garded as Michigan's greatest foot-
ball team, trampled Wisconsin, 21-
0, in the Badgers' homecoming.
Benny Friedman starred with his ac-
curate passing.
Every ticket available for the Navy
game two weeks distant had been
sold within an hour after they were
placed on sale, and the athletic of-
fice returned more than 100,000 ap-
plications.
Selection of Ann Arbor as the place
for the 1926 convention of the State
Federation of Women's Clubs was
made at the annual convention in
Benton Harbor.
Each of the women in Betsy Bar-
bour House contributed a small sum,
put their names in the hat, drew four
out, and made plans to send the own-
ers of the lucky four names to the
