TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1931 RAIN There usually is something the matter with the weather, but yesterday it really was good. Thirsty crops received as much moisture as they had during the whole month, and the farmers who worked in the drought and possible damage to crops were silenced in the deluge. The rain was a steady one, with the persistence that is supposed to be a peculiar quality of geniuses, and at regular intervals the precipitation increased to a downpour that made one recall descriptions of the time it rained for forty days and nights. It was beneficial to crops, but hard on collegiate fords. Gages reported steady requests for "trouble-shooters," and answered frequent distress calls from stalled motors. THE INSIDE STORY Will Rogers refuses a degree on the grounds that he did not work to earn it. He shouldn't let that worry him, considering the fact that the M.A.'s mean "Masters of Applepiling." Royal intrigue at the court of Roumania was the cause of King Carol's heartless behaviour toward his morganic wife, Zizi Lambrino, and his royal spouse, Helen of Greece, it is said in an article in the Outlook and Independent. Prince Sirtiburry, the Raspin of the country, and Queen Marie were both in league against the helpless King Ferdinand and Carol, the heir apparent. They purposely promoted Carol's marriage to Miss Lambrin, who was a lady-in-waiting at the court, in the hope that it would destroy his chances for the throne. Later, at the close of the war, when Bratianu had assumed a virtual dictatorship, they worked upon Carol's ambition and family loyalty to induce him to part from his first wife, to whom he was much attached, and marry Princess Helen. But when Carole began to assert himself politically, and sided with the Peasant party, opposed to the Bratanu regime, both the Queen Mother and Bratanu decided that their only salvation lay in getting the heir presumptive out of the country. Magdi Lupecuu was the means by which they accomplished their end. Now Princess Helen, the unhappy pawn in these manipulations, has been told that because public sentiment in her case was weak against Carol she must go into exile. Helen's plight arouses the sympathy of women all over the world. If the common feminine mind could express itself, it would say that it is time she left the modern Charles II and his scheming relatives to their own ruin and set about looking for a husband who can appreciate a good wife and mother. Hubbub at Peace Meet—headline Who said a perfect example was the best method of teaching? FEAR OF LIGHT A suit to prevent investigation is all ways suspicious, because any business managed in a proper way can stand the light of public. It is particularly strange that the officers of the Doe- herty interests wish to prevent The rate is unusually high, and the company itself has a rather unviable record in the conduct of its affairs. The court has expressed itself as satisfied that the investigation is a proper subject for inquiry, and the objection of the interested parties indicates clearly that there must be something which makes them fear publicity. ANOTHER ADDITION Gone! The single word can not express the actual despair when it is in cold print. It is wring from an amputated student when the fact becomes evident that a treasured book is gone. The English language has had no adequate epithet for the form of low life who will borrow a treasured volume and then forget to return it, but at the lack has been supplied. An English professor in the high school at Hartford, Conn., has coined a word "broken heart," best in a recent context—"brokethood." Now when the bane of libraries, scholars, homes, and pasts is caught in of act of snucking off with a favorite author, the politen man no longer be at a loss for words. He need not survey the pedigree or personal characteristics of the offender but can kiss no wood, "Bookseed." When a person wanted to hear a lot of high sounding phrases that meant nothing, he used to attend a prayer meeting. Now he goes to an oratorical contest. STAGE AND SCREEN Recently a group of some of the most acted actors and dramatic critics in the world met in New York to celebrate the centennial of the Dante League of America. The theme of this meeting was a discussion of future productions, both of legitimate drama and of the moving pictures. As it was expressed by one of the speakers, "The theater operates on a basis of the law of creative demand. Every theater ticket bought is a vote for a certain type of production, and it is largely on this basis that the quality of future productions will be "based." People are constantly lamenting loss of the legitimate drama and the growth of the seemingly degraded element in the movies. A summary of the situation places most of the fault with the public. As another of the speakers expressed it, "When one buys an obscene periodical he does double harm. He not only hurts himself but he creates a demand for more of the product. Such is often the case with a large part of his audience." I beamed the show at the Blink Blank theater is lonely. Let's go see it quick before the police close it." It was brought out in this meeting that the audience is the only part of a theater that is not organized. The actors, the producers, and the stage hands are organized, but the audience has no form of organization; yet the future of the American stage is in the 'bands of the audiences.' Charles Holman was an expert aviator, but he chose to die rather than to injure people who were watching him. Such an act was heroism, but it was necessitated by earlier heroes of an undesirable type. SPEED KING The man gave his life rather than in jure spectators, but his footallards endangered those lives in the first place. He wanted to give the audience a thrill in doing that he furnished another opportunity for people to shake their heads over the danger of air transportation. The heroes of aviation who will be longest remembered are those which make the air safer, and give people more confidence in the men who fly If a suicide jumped from the top of a skyscraper, he could think things over and change his mind on the way down. The early missionaries to our continent taught the aborigines to stop killing their fellows, to put on clothes, and to go to work. What we need is some more missionaries. Jackson-Jefferson Tea — Headline Must be worse than most tea; quite a dead affair, in fact. Four groups of interesting numbers with more or less of a popular appeal have been brought to her Senior Reef last night in the Central Administration audition. The group's recital much recognition on the Hill this year through her piano work and her At the Recital By Lela Hackney Perhaps the most interesting group of numbers was the second, which concluded with the beautiful and difficult "Blue Danube" (Schleswieg-Lieb-Schafe), a number so illogical it is so difficult for an amateur to perform. Other numbers on the group were "Ura Stella" (Miliotti), "A Des Oicentac" (Gorge Hous), "Par Le Sentier" (Du Casto) Miss Eoenlaughan has a soprano voice of rather nice quality, but there voice was quite flat for her ranges. Offtenfines her phrases were not as well rounded out as they should be, due perhaps to the fact that she also has an elongated mouth. However, she was very popular with her audience, who enocered her again and again, and since she has have a voice that is suitable for her music. are Verd耳呐 "Tapec La Notte Phpie" from "il Trovatore" was quite well done, considering M Miss Earlenhaugh's range. The charming Chopin number, "Mackenzie Wunchem" was indeed a masterpiece, and it was "Bat Doel Beti" (Bach). The last of the four groups was a lovely one, although it was generally felt that neither Hymne (Hughes), or Rhymes (Hughes), although charming, formed a weekly end for the program. Probably a more fitting term would be "Ferry Me Across the Water" (Hower) was delightfully interpreted, and "Love, if For Notherbler (Harding) was a sad case." Actisting Miss Earlenbaugh and accompanying her was Dorothy Enlow, pianist. Miss Enlow played as her instrument in the form of variations in a Norwegian theme by Grieg. The number was one of the most enjoyable piano numbers that has been played this year, and it is artistically performed by Miss Enlow. Our Contemporaries --country across the aged face of him Who moves in silence along the quiet SENIOR DUES The frantic efforts of Senior class officers to make a last minute collection of overdue class disks brings to our attention the fact that we believe could be, be avoided. At a time when senior class officers on this campus are urging members of the graduating class to pay fees, a migration contained in the following editorial from the Rocky Mountain College will be a profitable one for consideration. It is said that students must meet their financial obligations to their families before they can graduate. Why then should not these obligations be met at a time when all other college courses are taken? The Senior president and his treasurers are continually harassed at this time of the year by creditors of the class, who send letters requesting money from reluctant classmates at a period when many other activities are claiming and should claim their attention. This has led to calls for action in the future. However, as we have said before, we believe that it is not necessary, and would suggest as a substitute for this letter, that students in a class does that they be paid when a student registers in the institution, thus not only lifting a burden from all class members but also realizing what Wort Collins merchants do. The Campus Muse EVENING Evening within the old cathedral dim Falls in a light diffuse; the ending day Dies there in shadow and half light that play Gently across the aged face of Who moves in silence along the quiet nile Bent to his work, in revery lost, and old, Until feeling the solace of the night, Who sees but poorly how the fading cold With rose, and purple, and an amber fire gold Of sunlight flames the windows' tints publicly Who sees but poore how the raiding gold Which gilds the haloes of the saints with light; Of sunlight names the windows thus awhile. The worker pauses by the empty choir chidr And lifts in reverence to that sacred place The care-marked, world-tired miracle of his face. Plain Tales ___—Clarice Shor WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

This age is remarkable for its keen awareness of progress . . . the eager willingness of most of us to accept new things, and better ways. The skeptical person is the exception—expectancy is the rule. If we read about an invention that will wash the middle of our backs, we say, "Fair enough; tomorrow there will be an automatic way to keep our noses powdered." Remember what our school books taught us about the lives of inventors who lived many years ago? How often we used to read. "He went on with his experiments in spite of the laughter of his friends, and the ridicule of his neighbors." New things and better ways are announced regularly in the advertisements. Every day you may be expecting something that will make your life easier, pleasanter, more healthful. Possibly a new electrical contrivance, or a car that's easier to drive, or a new idea in breakfast foods. Follow the advertising columns . . . and sooner or later you'll get the good news. People who make it a point to know what's going on read the advertisements every day. -
