FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26.1930 WHEAT SPECULATION The Chicago board of trade is not in sympathy with the program of the federal farm board. For that matter, no board of trade in the country is losing any love over that institution. Grain men look with hostile eyes upon the growing organization of the farmers. There is little reason to blame them. Their own business existences are at stake; and for the past eight years no grain merchants except the very large or the very lucky ones have had much time to do anything but worry about the future of those business existences. But the services to society of grain men, especially of those who speculate in grain futures, are decidedly limited; the commission merchants, who are the only members doing real work, could be replaced by government agencies for the same purpose: buying and delivering grain. The government and the farm board would be perfectly justified, therefore, in proposing drastic limitations on the Chicago board of trade if they had not suggested restriction only on the operations of foreign governments. The charge by Hyde that the Russians were trying to stampede American farmers is fultile—at most it is unethical, but not criminal, for one government to operate in another government's markets. There are two questions bound together, rather illogically, in all this grain uprere: the Russians' actions, which may be discarded as of negligible effect at best; and the social control of gambling in a product so necessary to human welfare as grain. In this second question, Secretary Hyde and Chairman Legge should be granted agreement on the proposal of governmental interference, by those who wish to see earnings based upon services, and by those who really wish to help the farmer. INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS The start of the intramural athletic season which is approaching brings an opportunity to every man in the University to compete in his favorite kind of athletics. the directors of physical education especially Doctor Allen are to be praised highly for their encouragement of intramurals. Games like these, for everybody to join, help the participants to keep themselves physically in good condition, a phase of college life which otherwise would be sadly neglected by all but the small number who try out for some varsity team or other. There is little ballyhoo about intramurals. Winning counts less than playing; good sportmanship there is relatively high, and victory for itself retires to a back seat. That is as it should be; for games are secondary, and valuable only in so far as they provide entertainment and exercise. The future of college athletics may in time come to depend more and more on the principle of "participation by all," as it departs from the present idea of "participation by experts; spectators for the many." The playing up of college spirit, so called, to emotional extravagances over varsity teams will probably decline as the American public develops a more sensible attitude toward athletics. At present, of course, intercollegiate athletes hold the public interest. Their decline in favor of less highly publicized sports seems, however, as inevitable as it is sensible. PASSING OF THE SLIM SILHOUETTE If the advice of Bruce Barton, advertising man and bourgeois philosopher, so our influence we shall now be "all are hirthrites; we must air source eatable white bread in enormous quantities to help people in the millions population in the United States and 130 million too many bushels of wheat. He suggested to the farm board that the problem of the wheat farmer can be easily remedied if the government will high-pressure people through the right kind of propaganda into eating white bread. Perhaps his suggestion will be acted upon by the inboard. In such a case—if there remains in us a spark of patriotism for our country, a vestige of sympathy for the wheat farmer—we shall cast aside vanity and rally to the cause. But it will be hard to watch the passing of the perfect profile, to watch helplessly the acalces mount upward—pound by pound. What possible chance will the slim silhouette have to maintain its place of prominence in fashionable circles? Girish figures will vanish and plumpness will become the prevailing mode. If perhaps to some of the more old-fashioned the change will be welcome, to most of us the sacrifice will be heartbreaking. Those rebels who may be tempted not to eat the dreaded white bread calories and who have such terrible horror of fat we challenge with the cry, "an any sacrifice too great to perform for one's country?"—assuming, of course, that the "sacrifice" will in any way affect the country's destiny. UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE There is, in England, a system of compulsory unemployment insurance that should be copied in this country in order that the workingman, when times grow slack, may undergo no hardships because he is thrown out of a job. Something must be done, for hard times like the present are continually appearing, and unemployment insurance would produce the perpetual cure. The British plan, the first national system of compulsory unemployment insurance, applies to all men who support themselves and their families by their own manual labor. The fund is made up of contributions by workers and by employees and of a subvention from the State. The important result of this system is that laborers are forced to save a part of their earnings and to provide for their futures. The plan is sound, economically. It has been working in England since 1911. What other arguments are necessary to convince the people that it should be adopted in the United States? In adapting this plan to conditions in our country a committee from the three contributing factions, labor, capital, and the national government, should be appointed to determine the amount to be paid by each group, to set the amount necessary for the necessities of life, and the conditions under which the employees will receive the greatest benefits from their insurance. Most important, the workingman would be able to maintain his self respect even though he be out of a job. Even though our glorious Clara Brow has "it" she still has her troubles. Miss Bow, it seems, goes out for an evening of innocent gambling. Little Clara doesn't gamble, of course—she only plays a game now and then as you and I would play a few rounds of checks in the Union building. "CHECK "ON CLARA BOW Just what must Clara's public and fans believe? Is it possible that our own little Clara, the girl with S.A., B.U., everything the heart desire, could stop to such a means of evading honest debts? If we are to believe the proprietor's story Miss Bow lost quite heavily on this particular evening and paid her debts with checks. Later, payment on the checks was stopped. On the other hand we have Miss Bow's story from which we gather the impression that some bad, bold person deceived her in some way. We refuse to believe anything of the sort. Do we not have Will Rogers' word for it that Clara gambles only a little? She has just had a dirty deal, that's all. All of us Clara Bowl fans had better write her a letter and cheer her up right away quick. The K. U. Band will rehearse at 1:30 p.m. Saturday in the University Auditorium.

Yesterday the sun blushed And the dark-tinted mask, coagulating Stung the earth with a slow wind Wind sheave flecked mobility; dereliberating. That blush was not too facile: Perhaps some obscurity had an edge Leaving the angry hood of darkness To hide its more flamboyant pledge. Well, anyway, the grey afternoon Warned simpletons, dogs, and professionals Plain Tales The sun's blush gathered itself Shrugged at the mit-wits' indifference. And snorting its cavernous notrils, Shrugged in with an awesome connivance. The simplemets, dogs, and professionals laughed a big black cynical laugh, Rolled blase eyes, snickered, And allowed they could stand the gaff. How about those blase eyes, that black laugh?

Y.-(UP) — Archaeologists from the Rochester Museum of Art and Science have begun extensive excavations on the farm of Roger P.
