fore a record crowd at Boyle's Thir-
Acres was looking around for new

ill is lacking in the fine points of

shot at the title.
Wants to Meet Wills
As a matter of fact, Firpo in the
urse of a long talk with Tex Rick-

arry Wills, New Orleans negro, who
s stood out as a title challenger for

MONOPOLY
Yesterday a young man in a certain
class opened upon his professor a vol-
ley of questions which hummed angri-
ly across the short space of the room
with machine gun-like incessance for
a period of 20 minutes
The young student was undoubtedly
a aoul hungry individual earnest in
his 'search for learning but so filled
with potential questioning that he has
l*come a walking question mark.
Some of his questions weie intellig-
ten others were non-essential and all
were uttered with a vehemence and
argumentative stolidity that bespoke
a selfish mind. Twenty-five fellow stu-
dents sat through this 20 minutes of
monopoly, silently indignant.
This sort of monopolist should have
been the the sole pupil of a tutor,
certainly not a student in a University
professor's class
WOMEN'S WRONGS
The movement for equal rights for
women which swept the country when
the suffrage question was at its height
and which has since been a funda-
mental interest in the politics of the'
country has at last had a turn that
cannot but be distressing to the wom-
anhood of the country When the fem-
nists asked for their rights and got
them, they undoubtedly forgot that
they would be responsible equally for
their wrongs ,
Within the past two weeks two
women in the city of Chicago have
been sentenced to death, both being
found guilty by male juries. A trem-
endous change, seems to have taken
pleae suddenly In Chicagohwhich has
heretofore been oted for its acquittals
of murdresses. Three years ago a
woman convicted of murder and even
sentenced to prison was an unheard
of situation and every woman in the
c'ountry who had a suitor or incon-
venient husband to get rid of would
make the Chicago courts her stamping
ground. Suddenly with no warning
whatsoever these two juries come out
and boldly sentence one woman to
hang and another to die in the electric
chair
There seems to be come sort of a
slip up here; either the women were
not sufficiently clever or' beautiful
enough to bring the jury to tears or
the latter had predetermined.that Chi-
cago's disgraceful reputation for ac-
quitted woman murderers must be
changed at once and had steeled them-
selves against the tearful pleas which
were directed toward them
The time now seems to be at liand
when every court in th ecountry can
follow the example set by this one and
show woman that she has no more
right to brutilly murder whom she
chooses than has man.
The last few years have proven that
woman is the equal of man in many
walks of life and she also has assumed
her rights with dignity and taken the
credit due her for her acts ."Why
then should she not pay the came pen-
alty for her' misdemeanors that man
does?
It is hard to realize that the oldest
man wearing a United'States navl uni-
form, a veteran 99 years old, is spend-
Ing his last days in a county poor-
house waiting for some action on his
application for a pension.
Twenty thousands bills were pend-
ing in Congress at adjournment. Nine
hundred thirty one had been enacted.
It appears that congressional energy
is devoted to taking strangers in but
not in taking care of them after they
arrive.
" be it so humble, there's
no place like home." No, but there are
always lots of humbler places.
"PASSING OF THIRD
FLOOR BACK("GIVEN
N PLEASING FORMI
"PLAY MAKES MOMENTARY, YET
PROFOUND IMPRESSION," SAYS
CRITIC
MAC FNTEE SCORES HIT
AS "THIRD FLOOR BACK'
Gertrude Linnell Performs Role of
Stasia, the Slavey, Well-Kel-
ly Good as Hajor
Jerome K. Jeromo's "Passing of
the Third Floor Back," which was
presented in the campus open air the-
ater last night by the .Shakespeare
Playihouse company, is the sort of
pay that really shouldn't be reviewed
until a week after the performance-
unless. you've seen' it before. One may
safely say, however, that it makes a
profound impression;
momentary,
perhaps, but still profound. You see
the play, and watch Mr. McEntee, as,
the Third Floor Back, change the'
whole character of a boarding house
by simply being decent to all the peo-
ple in it; and you feel quite uplifted
until you begin to have a sneaking
suspicion that it's tremendously over-
done and silly. And yet on the other
hand there's the feeling that you
shouldn't say it's overdone and silly,
because there may be people who did
not think so at gall.
Mr. McEntee played his rather im-
possible role with all the sympathy_
necessary to put it across; his voice
was admirably suited to the part of
,missionary and visiting saint. It
seemed especially fitting that he, as
-the main dharacter, should have so.
little stage business. He simply en-
tered, sat down and stood up, and
talked; his relative inactivity bore
out the impression that he was not
at all a physical being.
The other roles-it would hardly be
fair to call them minor-were well
done, with the possible exception of
the two young lovers' parts; Mr. Web-
ster, as Christopher Tenny, the young
painter, rendered his lines with the
throaty effect that seems to have be-
come conventional. for such a st'ate-
ment as "I want you!" And Miss'
Homer, who played opposite him,
screamed out her emotion in a per-
fectly orthodox manner.
Mi'ss Linnell, as Stasia, the slavey,
handled her rather complicated part
very satisfactorily; her quick changes
of mood semed natural,. she held on
to her Cockney accent well, and she
managed to look her part. Mr. Kelly,
as Major Tompkins, retired, was just"
enough of a Britisher; if he had been
less, his audience maight have thought
him American, and if he had been'
more ,they wouldn't have understood
him.

FRENCH PRESS DISPLEASED
WITH BALDWIN'S STATEMENT
Parit, July 13-(By A.P.)-The Bri-
tish Prime Minister's statement of
policy was reflected with a sugar coat-
ing by the French newspapers over-
night and this afternoon edition had
become rather acid with a strong fla-
vor of sarcasm and some ridicule in
the comments.
The semi-official "Temps" contain-
ed a statement that "England persists
in the policy of maintaining a balance
of power between the nations of the
European continent. All the news-
papers emphasized that Premier
Baldwin condemned the Ruhr occu-
pation but reproved the German ac-
tion in resistance.
Natural, Science
Building Court
To Be Utilized
The interior court of the Natural
Science building is in the process of
being beautifie~d by the University
Building and 'Grounds department.
A water pond has been constructed in
the form of a clover leaf, and will
serve as an adopted abode for all sorts
of aquatic plants and botanical or
zoological specimens of one kind and
another. The pond is about eight feet
deep and will serve as a convenient
source of fresh water algae to be
used as class material during the win-
ter season.
Ferns To Surround Pond
The pond is to be suarounded by a
collection of various spepies of ferns.
A small green house has been erect-
ed to one side of the court which is to
contain mosses and liverworts for use
in the laboratory.
Because of the fact that the court
is extremely well protected from the
winds and weather it promises to be
an interesting little botanical garden.

wood, of Tecumseh, a naturalist with
several trunks full of egg and but-
terfly collections-the work of a life-
time-, two Indians who teach the
boys basket weaving, and several boy
scout leaders make up the camping
party.
The camp will need several hun-
dred dollars more to complete the
season and the directors are contem-
plating a campaign for the purpose of
raising the money.

Berlin, July 13-(By A.P.)-
treme caution and pronounced
desire not to be brusque t France
or force her to show her hand
appears to have been the motive
which inspired the British Prime
Minister's statement in the House
of Commons yesterday according
to the view entertained in Ger-
man official headquarters where
the statement is lightly appraised
as a sympathetic utterance lead-
lug to an early and perhaps de-
cisive bearing on the Ruhr in-
tasse.
Duesseldorf, July 13-(By A.P.)-
French troops today made a surprise
raid on Bramen, outside of the oc-
cupied area as a -punitive measure
for kidnapping on Wednesday of two
French soldiers and snipig which
was alleged to have been carried on
by the Germans against the forces of
the occupation.
Companies of infantry and cavalry
with a squadron of' airplanes circling
overhead reached the town at 6o'-
clock this morning and left five hours
later with, a group of hostages and a
number of secret security policy doc-
uments seized at the city hall. The
French numbered about 600. They
encountered no opposition, but heavy
artillery had been stationed at the
Ruhr frontier turned upon the French
and ready for any French move.
The troops took as hostages, the
Director of the local Rech bank, the
burgomaster, the chief of police and
minor officials.
Duesseldorf, July 13.-While mem-
bers of the French cabinet today pon-
dered over Prime Minister Baldwin's
address in the house of commons yes-
terday, French troops entered and oc-
cupied the big industrial city of El-
berfield, on the edge of the Ruhr ,re-
gion.
The town of Limburg, just beyond
the Coblenz bridgehead, which the
Americans formerly held, was occu-
pied by French troops yesterday as a
permanent . occupation town. Bar-
men, in the Elberfield manufacturing
district, also was occupied by a de-
tachment of French troops.
Penalty for Disorders
The French official announcement
of the occupation does not give the
number of officials taken as hostages,
but it is understood the operations,
which were on a large scale, were un-
dertaken to impose a penalty for re-
cent frontier incidents.
Barmen is just outside the occupied
area and the frontier affairs culminat-
ed recently in one which involved the
security police near that town. Wed-
nesday, two French soldiers, following
some German smugglers, were sur-
rounded in the woods by a band of 15
of the security police the French
