Egeland Assistants Samuel Lukens - Lillian Korvinsky Janet Logie TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1928 f Night Editor-ROBERT DOCKERAY; FOR MANKINDS Announcement has been made re- cently of the establishment of a $500,- 000 foundation, the purpose of whicht is "to finance efforts contributing to-' ward the betterment of the human stock and toward the regulation of the GUN ENFORCEMENT Dr. James M. Doran, prohibition ad- ministrator, has issued a statement calling for extreme caution in the use of fire-arm by prohibition ad- ministrators. Although the decree was not made public, it is said to con- tain a memorandum calling the at- tention of enforcement agents to the paragraph in the manual of instruc- tions governing the use of fire-arms. While this order may be a step to- ward stopping gunplay, there has been no change in the instructions to officers under which many American citizens have been shot down. Of- ficers are still allowed to shoot in self defense, and while this is as I it must be to protect officers dis- charging their duty, there is still a veil of federal protection afforded an officer who happens to, shoot an inno- cent suspect. And under the law which provides that "all necessary force in enforcing its order" may be used, there is still a broad field in which promiscuous shooting may be allow- ed. Unwise and unwarranted use of fire arms by prohibition enforcement of-' ficers has resulted in much adverse criticism and a great deal of unfav- orable publicity, most of which is Uustly founded. While an officer should not be forced to jeopardize his own ! life neither should he jeopardize the' lives of innocent citizen. Unpopular] as the Volstead law seems to be, it must be enforced, but no law is worth the lives of innocent American citi- zens. THE DEMOCRATIC SPLIT The "dry" forces of the Democratic party ate beginning to concentrate on a camnpaign against their own nomin- ee for president, who, in spite of his protests is still considered a "moist" candidate. Regardless of the fact that he is pledged to prohibition law en- forcement under the party platform, a 'split in the party because of his for- mer policies seems inevitable. Precedent should show the Demo cratics that a split in the party spells almost certain defeat at the polls, and perhaps before the campaign gets under way, there will be a reunion of the party. That does not seem prob- able, nor is it probable that a third party of "dry Democrats" will sup- port an independent candidate. The logical inference is that Hoover wilt ride into office on a landslide of Re- publican and Democratic "dry" vote's.. Music And Drama "THE MAN WHO MARRIED A DUMB WIFEr A Review; By Stratton Buck When Master Botal turned to the audience at the conclusion of last evening's performance and prayed them to forgive the author all his faults, he failed for some reason to ask pardon for those of the players as well. This was an unfortunate omission, for there were many of the latter to forgive. "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife" as presented last evening was a haphazard, maudlin affair. The zest and finish that mark- ed the first two productions of the Rockford troupe was completely gone. In their stead were found an rather incongruous assortment of carica- tures, dances and costumes, some of which were in keeping with the at- mosphere of the piece presented, but many of which decidedly were not. One would expect a farce of this nature to be given with some deli- cacy as to characterization, and some attention to those details that might aid in preserving the atmosphere which the play endeavored to attain. But last night's audience saw almost no characterization, and was treated to much, in the way of dance and costume that seemed to have no part in a medieval play. The thing was done as a rather oppressive sort of caricature. Each member of the cast burlesqued his way through the lines, making no effort to give any touch of individuality to his role. The re- suit was a number of buffoons, dis- tinguishable one from the other only by their lines and their costumes. Comment on the individual actors in a performance of this sort is use- less. Two only rose far enough above the mediocrity in which the play was lost to give their work any person- ality at all. Lillian Bronson added so much as she danced, skipped, smil- ed, and kissed her way through the part of Alison, the maid, that at mo- ments one felt that the show would have completely foundered withoudt her. Paul Stephenson gave another etCcellek t performance as the apothe- cary, bringing nMore to this infinites- mal role than one would have be- 'lieved possible. On the other hand Robert Hender- son's overdone burlesque and vocal contortions contributed little, while George Joh.nson's attempt at Adam Fumee was hardly short of pathetic.

Aside from its obviously intended good, the project should be of parti cular significance to alumni an friends of the University in view o the fact that it has been endowed ti the extent of its $500,000 by a gradu ate of the University of Michiga Charles F. Brush, of the Engineerin class of 1889. ,Scientist Brush has devoted mor than 'sixty years of his life to re search in the field of physics an other branches of science and his ef forts have proved beneficial to th -masses of people as well as to th experts in the various realms o sci..unce ' He played with wires and electri e d apparatus while only a boy on e arri. Before he was 30 years of ag' he eigned the first open coil dyna n+.. After this came his inventio Xj la are light, which made hin h word famous figure. Mr. Bruh-, hat un dt bnnumerable contributio i twlence, and his efforts and accom- plh'uments have been such as t caus N4 egan to consider him among th o rem t of her illustrious son. Mr. Brush's latest contributions t the advancement of mankind, how- ever, in the form of his gift of $00. 000 for the establishment of the foun- dation for the purposes as above out- ltned is drawing, unfortunately, criti- cism from many who misunderstand the real intent of the beloved ucien- tist's motives.- That he has shown himself to be deeply concerned regarding mankind's ideal progress, there can be no doubt. Now that he permits an expenditure of $500,000 in the direction of a cause which he is fully convinced is a worthy one, he receives criticism. This criticism, however, based on the grounds that the project which Scien- tist Brush has now established has the obvious marks of birth control and other aids to the working out of the plans involved in the foundation, is based on rather sentimental grounds. It is unfortunate that the motives of such a distinguished scien- tist are misunderstood, but then, such a condition is not new, for from early times a great many uignificant con- tributions to mankind's progress have been unmercifully criticized only to result, as in most cases, in an almost general acceptance of the contribu- tion as time wears on and as people become educated. " Michigan should feel proud of theE remarkable achievements of Charle F. Brush. He has utilized his college experience in a way that has proven! beneficial to mankind in general. His has been a long and admirable life of activity, and now at the age of 79, he has graciously laid aside half a' million; dollars for the establishment1 of a fobndation that can not help but prove beneficial to the human race. is '110./111J0"/°'dsG~t .llOW CCy1111/.11,.y1J/J...@1.I1J1Olllll, k a _ i ti f Editorial Comment I 0 9 THE SPACE ACTUALLY GIVEN CRIXIE NEWS The senior class in: editing at the University of Oregon School of Jour- nalism recently devoted some time and attention to the much discuss- ed question of crime news. , But in- stead of theorizing and debating and criticizing, the members set out to get some facts. They learned that the average reader thinks that approxi- mately 30 per cent of the space in newspapers is devoted to crime news. After making a "measuring investi- gation" of about one hundred repre- sentative dailies they discovered, how- ever, that really the modern news- paper devotes only 1.4 per cent of its total space and 3.4 per cent of its news space to crime, divorce and scandal.aDoubtless some sensational journals give considerably more room than that to the topics named, and some conservative journals give less; but that is the average. And in view, of the amount of crime committed in this country, and taking into consid- eration the prevalence of divorce and scandal, the recori is a record of real moderation. It -ts not difficult to understand whyr the reading public has made a big fitted to the vaudeville stage than to a piece of this nature, but in addi- tion hid mouthed and mumbled his lines-to such an extent that at times he could, not be understood from the fourth 'ow. There was little to dis- tinguish the work of the rest of the cast either favorably or unfavorably. They burleisqued well enough, but i2 seems that more could have been done with the platy. Only one really hearty laugh: answered the company's efforts. This occuredt during the scene in which' Catherlne talked the whole group to sleep, which was cleverly executed by thie entire cast. Many of the dances and interludes which were inxi erspersed throughout the piece were carried off with good effect. Many on."the other hand hard- ly fitted the play.. There was no ex- cuse for the nun iber at the end of the first act, in wb ich Henderson and six girls took par. This and many others smattered of the Union Opera at its -worst. 'Miss Hogan's work was well done, bent here too, the relation of kthe dances to the m,edieval setting Was slight indeed. T'he costumes showed ftie same lack o& harmony. Those worn by Miss .Belly, Miss: Bronson, Henderson, Browne, Stej henson, and several others were at imirable, but what ex- planation can Ithere be for the comic strip get ufs in which Bohnen and Johnson were eclad?
