THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY. JULY 23. 1937 FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1937 taurant conditions rests with the City Council, and until the desired legislation is initiated by this body, enforced sanitary measures will be something to talk about and that's all. According to Franklin Fisk, a sanitation offi- cer who will be in charge of future health and sanitation developments, plans for establishing a definite criterion for the maintenance of a high standard of cleanliness and sanitation of restaurant premises in Ann Arbor are well on the way. He said, however, that until the City Council passes an ordinance giving the Health Department some authority, it will be some time before anything of a substantial nature can be hoped for. Legislation by the City Council will only come about when the powers that be are reminded of the fact that the students of Ann Arbor are an integral part of the city eleven months out of the year, and that with such a status they are entitled to whatever advantages the au- thorities can give them. The Health Depart- ment is ready to go into action, but they still await the go sign from the City Council. As Others See It Meeting The Machine (From St. Louis Post-Dispatch) THE MACHINE has already posed many prob- lems. It is still in its infancy. Invention has removed 1937 a millenium or more from 1837. It is proceeding at an ever accelerating pace. It spreads unemployment. It thrusts on capital the continuous burden of scrapping plants and erecting new ones which in turn are in the shadow of obsolescence at the first turn of the wheels. A survey of the situation has been completed for the National Resources Committee, made up mostly of high administration officials, by its subcommittee on technology. The subcommit- tee's personnel is distinguished. Its report, just published under the title, "Technological Trends and National Policy, Including the Social Im- plications of New Invention," is a profoundly important work. It is a sequel, in a way, to the "Report on Social Trends" prepared five years ago at the instance of President Hoover. It dif- fers from that document, however, in that it is "the first major attempt to show the kinds of new inventions which may affect living and working conditions in America in the next 10 to 25 years." Into'this bewildering field of prophecy the sur- vey marches with confident stride. The Patent Office, for example, is issuing warrants for novel contrivances at the rate of 35,000 a year, yet the survey dares to single 13 recent inventions from that multitude "that may soon be widely used with resultant social influences of significance." The layman has heard of some of them. The mechanical cotton-picker has been publicized, with economic consequences so far-reaching as to alarm the inventors. Of comparable import are the artificial cotton and woolen-like fibers from cellulose, pre-fabricated houses, television and what is called "tray agriculture." This last process resembles necromancy more than science. Given a tin pan, some water and an electric current, and the farmer in the dell vanishes from the immemorial picture. A city back yard under glass will sumptuously provide the family table with fruits and vegetables and supply the neighbors for blocks around. Here is chemistry running far beyond the wildest dreams of the ancient alchemists. The stories of "tray agriculture" might be dismissed as fairy tales were it not for the fact that experiments have, in a measure, substantiated the claims. A banker is credited with coining the necessary phrase: "Invention is the thing that makes se- curities insecure." But the first victim of applied science is the toiler. And it is as true now as when John Morley said it that "a working- man unable to find a job is a more tragic figure than Hamlet or Oedipus." What is to be done for the man discharged by a new device? The theory is pleasingly set forth by people unaf- fected that invention creates additional employ- ment, that unemployment is but a temporary se- quence. But unemployment does not have to last long in order to destroy an individual and wreck a home. The spectacle has grieved almost every man of conscience. This "more tragic figure than Hamlet or Oe- dipus" is a client of the authors of the survey under discussion. How are we to meet the press-5 ing social challenge of science? The word "plan- ning" is in some disfavor, but only by the most intelligent planning can the problem be solved. In the solution, industry manifestly must join with government. The enterprise, for all its drudgery, is a great humanitarian adventure, illumined with the inspiration of a crusade. Mr. Davis' Cup (From St. Louis Post-Dispatch) WHEN Dwight F. Davis put up the Davis Cup, he inaugurated one of the most satisfactory of all athletic events. Seldom has this annual in- ternational event failed to produce more than its quota of thrills. Yesterday Don Budge, playing the decisive match of the inter-zone finals against Baron Gottfried von Cramm, lost the first two sets and was losing 1-4 in the final set, and again 4-5, and still again 5-6, yet arose to inspired heights and won set, match and tournament. Budge, America's latest tennis genius, a worthy successor of McLaughlin, Johnston, Tilden and Vines, caught the German at the height of Von Cramm's game, and staved off defeat only by an exhibition of great competitive spirit. These shores haven't seen the Davis Cup since theFrench took it away in 1927. It now On The Level By WRAG WE HAD READ of how maybe-immortal Eu- gene Fields once went into a restaurant and asked the waitress for "two eggs and a few kind words," so we thought we would try that ap- proach out on one of Ann Arbor's waitresses the other day. We believe the waitress told Fields "not to eat dem eggs" in the way of her kind words, but after our waitress had served us our order, we said, "Well, here are the eggs but where are your few kind words?" Our un-Fieldian waitress merely looked blase and replied, "Oh, you collitch boys!" FRANKLY we are rather puzzled at the amount and content of poetic contributions that have come to us at The Daily office since the advent of "Trudy Steinburg." Of the several that came in this morning, we shall print the following pair: EVENING HYMN Something circumscribed about syncopation brings tremolo by lilting, brings passion by swift titillation, metamorphosis into blood-tilting ... clings gustily, moves moodily, glares red, gleams white, jerking,. twitching, gliding lazily ... transfixes with darting gemuchlichkeit . . Let Stokowski weave harmonies of transfiguring complexity: I prefer hot spots where sleek dames display sexity. JWOOP * * * * And another: ESTHETE'S LAMENT The toenails that so coyly peep From the sandals of the girls asleep, Display varieties of hues That Actor Fields for nose could use. Those fingernails like old stained glass Are worse than nauseating gas, And from most men a dismal burp'll Come forth at sight of toe-nails purple. But on this point no more I'll blurt, I guess it's done to hide the dirt! JABBER WOK. THE NOTICE that appeared in The Daily yes- terday asking for hostesses to handle the stags at the League and Union dances on Friday and Satur- day night, turned out to be a swell opportunity for practical joking phone callers. Jean Geyer, in charge of Friday night dances, received a call from a female impersonator who talked in a falsetto voice and asked her what the duties of such a hostess were. Jean bit and told the fellow just what her hostesses had to do. Then the fellow wondered just what a hostess was supposed to do after the dance was over. Jean told the sup- posed girl ("Ann Lynn") that it was up to her. Then the high-voiced fellow asked, "Are the hostesses obligated to do anything besides what you told us?" "Oh, no!" replied Jean very ser- iously. "Ann Lynn" is expected to come to The League at nine tonight, but he won't be there. I RADIO By THOMAS McCANN One of the best trios on the air today is that of Tom, Dick and Harry. This popular threesome has been on the ether for some time now, and has recently taken a coast to coast hook up for Fels Naphtha. If you want to hear some of the best harmony ever yodeled, try WGN Thursday night at 7. * * * * Those very popular Robin Hood Dell Concerts, presenting a ninety piece symphony orchestra under the direction of Vladmir Goldschmann, are on Thursday nights at 7:30, and you'll find them over CRCW and WXYZ. We must congratulate the University on its programs over WJR on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wed- nesdays and Thursdays at 3 p.m. The script and acting of these programs is handled by our own Summer Session students, and for ingenues, they are presented admirably. * * * * Orson Welles, Who played opposite Katharine Cornell in "Romeo and Juliet" and directed the all-negro "Macbeth," will present Friday night at, 9, Hugo's immortal "Les Miserables" over CKLW and other stations of the MBS. This will be a test case to determine the plausibility of pro- ducing great works of literature over the air, and this first of seven installments will attempt to exhibit the character of the book itself, an entirely new departure in radio drama. Saturday afternoon at 12:15, WWJ will pre- sent the second act of the opera, "Lohengrin," from the Wagner Festival at Bayreuth, Germany. The cast for this afternoon's performance will include Ludwig Hofmann, Franz Voeleker, Maria Mueller, Jaro Prohaska, Margaret Klose and Her- bert Jansen. * * * * Saturday, radio's problem child, is no longer the day that you take on that roll-up-the-rugs- get-out-the-gin attitude; it is rather-as you might expect-the day on which the thing to say measurements), $3,800 a year; ex- tension service, office of Cooperative extnsonwork, Department of Agri- culture.
