YOUNG ACTORS
A cup for the winning high school, one for the best actor, and one for the best director; all these were carried away from the University over the week-end by high school people, and it was a pleasure to send the cup to new homes. These boys and girls came here not only as guests of the Dramatic club but of the whole University, and it is hoped that the impressions they received were favorable ones, for some day they may want to come to the Hill as students.
Probably, those who took part in the one-set plays were having a good time and enjoyed the stay. But could they fully realize how much good this tournament did for them? Could they realize that in presenting these plays they were acquiring a poise and self-confidence that would be worth more than money to them? Many a hidden talent remains hidden during University life for the simple reason that its owner has not been introduced to it in earlier days. Then when he is older he has not the self-confidence to compete against those who may have had the training he did not.
The Dramatic club is to be praised for bringing these young actors to the University, thereby introducing them to the campus. They could not all be winners, but the two days of tournament most surely have been of value to them, giving them something they can never lose—fair criticism that it would be difficult for friends to give.
PLAY DAY
To be healthy is to be happy. And to play and play right is to be healthy. Eighty high school girls assembled here Saturday for the annual play day sponsored by the Women's Athletic association, and despite the rain, entered whole-heartedly into competition play. It was their day and it was their duty to play their best in order to show what good sports they could be. These girls were working not only for awards but for the good time that the day also afforded them. The work of their teachers for the past year, or for the past seven years in fact, cannot be disregarded but to the girls themselves, Saturday was the all-time.
FARM BOARD UNDER FIRE AGAIN
The wheat farmers would have to ould
"Unconditional-surrender" Grant to
lead them in the fight for a more
equitable price for their product. At
present it looks as if the issue would
be decided in favor of the most mulish
proponent.
Terminal elevators everywhere are filled to capacity. In Kansas City alone about 30 million bushels of wheat have been stored. Railroads are better prepared than ever to transport the new crop, which will begin coming on the market in another month. But where will they transport it? With terminal elevators full to the limit, there will be no storage place for the new crop.
The wheat in the terminal elevators is mainly owned by farmers to whom money has been advanced by the Federal Farm Board. They are determined not to sell until the price goes up. The grain dealers are just as firmly determined not to let the price go up. In the meantime they are doing their
to knock the props out from under Legge, and his board. The United States chamber of commerce meeting in Kansas City is being beleged by the grain dealers of Minneapolis, Duluth, Kansas City, and other cities, to go on record as condemning the Federal Farm Board as simply a device for putting the government into business.
The grain dealers figure that if they can hold out until the new crop comes on the market, the farmers will have to sell in order to get storage space. If this should happen, it is probable that wheat will drop even lower than its present low level. The farmers' only chance seems to be to provide storage space on the farm for the new crop so that it need not show the carryover on a flooded market. Whether this can be done is very doubtful. At present, the advantage seems to be all with the grain dealers.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF ATHLETES
THE DEVELOPMENT OF ATHLETES
Joy-killers are a recognized institution in a civilization whether it is in a savage stage or not. Occasionally they become so unreasonable that we are led to protest. For instance, there are among us on this campus those who object to the practice of smashing gloves on the lights which mark out our walks. They go so far as to urge the extermination of those indulging in the sport.
No far-seeing citizen could share this illogical reasoning. If we are to raise up a Babe Ruth of the new generation, we must have ample opportunity for the development of the masses. If we are to retain our superiority as a nation of baseball player, we must develop pitching skill in our oncoming generation. We must not relinquish our laurels in this great field. America must bow to none.
Besides, our young men must have something to show on the credit side of the ledger opposite'd deduction for four year's expenses for the boy at college. A trusty right and a steady aim would not be bad entries, for baseball players get nice salaries. That is, if they are superior. From the number of shattered fragments of glass on our grounds, we are led to hope that our players will be super-players.
ANOTHER DOG HAS his DAY "Surface" Al Capone has reached the end of his rope. Like other men before him who have become drunk with power he has hitten off more than he could chew.
When Capen was able to "secure control of several wards in Chicago so that he could operate his vice reserves without fear of political intervention, he conceived the magnificent scheme of controlling the entire city of Chicago. From his headquarters in the Lexington hotel he planned to direct the activities of his benchesmen in control of political affairs, while his speakeasies and brothels flirted unimpaired.
Should these men scatter, they will find just as warm a reception in other cities. The Kansas City police already have a complete list of these "public enemies" of Chicago, together with complete identification material. The police in these other cities are determined that these men shall not settle with them.
But such things cannot be done in America, not even in Chicago. Americans in general are a class of suckers, but they don't like to have it rubbed in Chicago is up in arms against Capone's threatened usurpation of political power. The crime commission has collected the names, portraits and identification marks of several dozen of her citizens, headed by Al Capone, and branded them as enemies of the city. The commission is moving to force the police department o close down on them.

Yes, it seems that Al Capone has bitten off more than he can chew.
the most virtile oath; but how pleasurable it is even to rip off a guttural "Ach mein-n-n-n Gadd-t-t-t!" with a lovely role of the tongue at the end. Compose "a little a pender" or "dilab" sound paecial, and "Hell only mediocre."
For German has the most impressive cuswords ever to be found. Indeed, all its syllables sound profane to the extreme. Were the fact advertised, many would be the speakers after truth to flock towards its learning!
We can only hint here at some o
Even harmless German words like our modern friend "Gestalt" may be used with sinister infliction. And "Gotterdammerung" is sufficient to ruin almost anybody's chances of eternal bliss.
Immigration Legislation Based on Scientific Work
Laws Made by Research
(Science Service)
Philadelphia—Really intelligent immigration regulation can be based only on a curvilinear science study of the racial makeup of modern Europe, a unique of modern anthropology. This was one thesis advanced before the war, and it has since recently by Dr. Fay-Cooper Cole, professor of anthropology at the University of Chicago, and chairman of the department of sociology of the National research council.
"The techniques developed in our studies of amber sculptures are now being used in other groups," said Professor Cole. "So long as we dew our population largely from the difficulty in adjusting the newcomers to American conditions, but with the influx from southern Europe the
To remedy this situation anthropology is carrying on intensive investigations of these people in their homelands. It is studying the physical types of people in Mexico and other regions from which we have drawn large numbers."
Fliers on Mediterranean Line Find Queer Storms
London—(UP)—Have you heard of the "willy-nilly"? It is no cousin of "Penny-Annie."
Nor is it a catch question, or ask another, but a phenomenon sometimes encountered by airplane pilots when landing. It is a storm, a true fronk of nature. It is a storm.
The dictionary defines "willy-nilly" as uncertain. A plot what his definition is and he is most likely to reply, "It's awful."
It can best be described as an area of about 400 yards long and 100 yards wide of thick, dense rain, but rain which ascends in place of descending It is really, a close relative of a water bucket which sucked up from the surface of the sea.
Severes "willy-nilies" may even come overleaf and small pieces of food are left on the surface thus far encountered only over the Mediterranean, may ascend to a height of 10 feet.
A thorough examination in all the courses with which he is credited at the end of four years of college is the ideal way to determine whether the present system produces graduates of the diploma, according to Prof. H. G. Hays of the Ohio State economy department. He seated at the idea that the present system produces graduates with fewer subjects, more intensively studied, are desirable, he believes.

Half a Peanut Sustains One Hour's Mental Lab
PEN AND SCROLL:
(Garden Service Survey)
Washington, D.C. If you eat one oyster crater or one-half a salted peanut you will get enough extra calories for one hour of intense mental effort. Dr. Francis G. Benedict, director of the Nutrition Laboratory of the Curcuma Institute, situated at the National Academy of Sciences.
"The popular tradition that fish is a brain food has given way to the idea of training animals to be in reportings the experiments which he and his wife have conducted. We also have learned that it innervates, sustained mental effort results in a feeling of profound fatigue, not only in mind but likewise in body. He said dogs sextinctly fresh air, to open a window and to stretch the limbs after a period of mental work is provided."
The two scientists first measured the energy requirements of the body when resting, twelve hours after the last meal and when the mind was as nearly
free from activity as possibly. Observations were also made of the rate and character of breathing and of the heart rate.
Then the same measurements and observations were made while the person being observed was dismayed. The problem consisted of multiplying in his mind such figures as by 69 by 70. They were then divided into the number gator. The person doing them indicated by a tap on a telephonic key where, when a new one was given him.
"The professor absorbed in intense mental effort for one hour has an extra demand for food or for calories durring a meal. It is the extra needs of the mind who dubs off his desk for five minutes," Doctor Bredet stated. "The cloistered scholar should be very careful that the extra energy needed for one hour of intense mental effort would be completely met by the eating of a bacon or one-half of a salted peanut."

When buying was one long experiment
"I'll try a pound of this," said your grandmother, "---if you are sure it's fresh."
That was some time in the second hour of her morning's search for groceries. She went from one open barrel or box to the next, along an unappetizing row of crackers, teas, cereals, dried fruits, lard and sugar-all in bulk. She shooed the flies away looked at, touched and tasted each article suspiciously, and finally decided to buy or not to buy, as her judgment directed. She couldn't trust a servant to do it. It was a day's work in itself.
Today, in two minutes, you give the grocer your order. You know that everything you get will be fresh, pure, attractively and cleanly packed. Why? Because you ask for advertised brands.
Advertising has taken hours of hard labor out of every housewife's day, and lines of worry off her forehead. It has made the morning's marketing a matter of certainty instead of guesswork.
Do ALL of your buying this easier way-read the advertisements!
