EDITORIAL -I 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. -S.M. 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. 114 BOYS ATRESH' AIR CAMP OUTING Twelve Different Nationalities Rep- resented in Detroit Grout' at Lakes CAMPAIGN MAY BE HELD TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS One hundred and fourteen small boys from the poor families of the Hamtramck district of Detroit; rep- resenting more than 12 different na- tionalities are enjoying a ten day out- ing at the University Fresh Air camp, an institution maintained by the stu- dents, alumni and friends of the Un- iversity, under the direction of the Students' Christian association. The camp is located on the banks of the Patterson, +Sales ,and Bass lakes, con- sidered by officers in charge one of the most ideal camp sites in the state. It includes 170 acres where the boys are instructed in nature studies, a wooded area and excellent bathing and swimming facilties in the three lakes. Staff Works Gratis The leaders of the camp, including 15 University students spend their summers with the boys without charge. Their expenses, board and room, are paid. In addition to these leaders the camp isprovided with two camp physicians, who are junior med- ics in the University. -"Dad" Lock- 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. Annual Repairs Undertaken Annual painting and general repairs to campus buildings have been taken in hand by the Buildings and Grounds department and will continue through the Summer session. In addition $5,000 worth of equipment is being installed and alterations made In the physiology and pharmocology build- ing. 60 Billion Quarts Ice Cream Used New York, July 13-(By A.P.)-The ice cream appetite runs to sixty bil- lion quarts a year or more than ten quarts per person according to a re- port made by Commissioner Monahan' today.

' Roof Fire Loss $200 Chief Andrews said that the roof fire yesterday caused Mrs. Margaret McLeod of 1222 Washtenaw avenue the loss of $200. Mrs. McLeod was, burning a quantity of papers in the open fireplace when sparks from the chimney set fire to the roof.{ Governor of Caracus Named ELBERFIELD, INDUSTRIAL CEN- TER SEIZED BY TROOPS AS PENALTY KIDNAPING INCIDENT CAUSE OF MOVE, BELIEF Paris O ptimistic Over British Note; Believe Understanding Pos- sible 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 state.
