A conference was held in Wash- ington by the representatives of the leading distilleries in the coun- try to get in on the business of the manufacture of thislarge quantity of intoxicant. There will be a fev- erish bidding, no doubt by the va- rious manufacturers to get a part of this business, for 1,500,000 gal- lons is a lot of whisky, especially TONIGHT: Martin Flavin's "Children of the Moon" in Men- delssohn Theater, beginning at at 8:15 o'clock. * * * "CHILDREN OF THE MOON" Reviewed by R. Leslie Askren An apology is due those who read in the publicity given this play that it had successful year runs in New York and London. The error was the result of misinformation. I have not the facts at hand now, but this is certain that the play was a "flop" in New York. Presented by a University group it becomes a good deal more than a flop.

The worst danger, he averred, is that any time in the future, ma-' chines may escape man's "poor dis- cipline" in a two hour mechanized warfare in which all the cities of the world will wipe out one an- other. * The picture which the author. paints for the future is indeed a gloomy one. Undoubtedly man's discipline of the powerful machin-' ery and engines he has invented is a poor one, consisting only of a determination to control them and' to use them to his own advantage. The purpose of all pacifist agita- tion is to minimize the possibili- ties that the machine escape the control of man, and pursue him, it is supplied in the quantities needed. It would be the subject of an in- teresting survey, to determine just exactly how much of the whisky ing drama by treating exaggerated characters in a melodramatic plot through overstatement in dialogue. It is easy to imagine immense dra- ma in dialogue like this; I like a Frankenstein, to his own destruction. That man is not at present un- der the domination of the machine is matter still open to some dis-, cussion. Stuart Chase traces the history of the development of ma- chinery and comes to the conclu- sion that man is still the master' and likely to remain so. We must accept the result of the lengthy re- search and study which the authorI has given to this question, at least as far as the general conclusion goes. But it seems to us that there are a great number of examples in modern life which tend to prove! the opposite conclusion the true one.
