MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1929 THE LIBRARY SIGN Some member of the Royal Collegiate Order of Freek Sign Collectors has added to his specimens. We are sure he must belong to some such organization, for what good would a sign reading "Quiet in the Library" be, only as a rare or fr假 specimen? We venture to say that such a person probably has never been in a library enough to have seen such a sign before, and thought it to be very rare. Now if we could just visit the rooms of this collector no doubt we could make a study in the technique of sign making. There would probably be a sign hanging in his bedroom reading, "Quiet is requested for those who have retired" coming from some Pullman car. Then we would see a sign hanging on a door to this effect; "If you do not wish to be disturbed hang this on your door" having originated in some hotel. And there would be the inevitable "Rooms for Rent," "No Parking," and the rest. We could glance on many other collections which are likely to be picked off fence posts, bill board, and other public places. But where shall we see our little library sign? In the bedroom, living room or bathroom? This is an unanswerable question, for such a person probably does not know what library means, does not own a dictionary and cannot, look the word up, so as a result would hang it anywhere he could find an empty nail Now is the time for unmarried persons to order Christmas cards, and after they are printed discover on them that "we extend hearty Christmas greetings to you". VACATION The students are going home soon to spend the Christmas holidays with their family. Mother and Dad have spent many happy hours planning so that everything will be in readiness. The students come home in a rush, kiss the family and leave their bags in the middle of the floor and their packages on the table, and dash off to have dinner with a friend. Nine times out of ten Dad carries the bags upstairs and Mother picks up the bundles. About 2 a. m. the "children" get home from an impromptu party too tired to say good night to the folks. They climb nearly into bed and sleep until at least nine the next morning. The next morning they rush around to see more friends, and if they are at home at all they are usually talking over the phone. Perhaps they will have time for Christmas dinner with the family, but they're sure to run away soon afterward. This is goes on for two weeks. Then Mother and Bad wistfully watch them depart while telling them what a nice visit they have had. Yes — the students go home to visit the family. "Duck hunters who hunted on the Cheyenne Bottoms lake last week found the fishing good", a United Press dispatch declares. Are the ducks so lazy down there that they allow themselves to be simply fished out of the lake? OUR CHRISTMAS TRADITION The most beautiful and artistic tradition held by the University is that of the Christmas season—the Christmas vesper, one of the finest musical events of the year; the candle sale for the benefit of one of the most worthy institutions of the University, and the Christmas tree celebration, form an unforgettable trio. Tribute to the esteem in which these observations are held are the large crowds, made up not alone of students and townpeople, but of those who have made special trips from other towns. More labor and greater ability are expended upon the observation of the Christmas tradition than upon any other which we hold and joyfully so. The beautiful tableaus, the music and the appropriate ceremony have preserved for Jayminers the lovely sentiment of a season which is fast losing its meaning through commercialization. Although we have heard much of late about the death of many school traditions, there has been no mention of the passing of the Christmas tradition. This one grows stronger with each coming season, because it is among the worthiest that we have. For all the newcomers who do not know the beauties of the Christmas week celebration, we offer this coment, that they may not pass over unnoticing, one of the finest tradition of their University. The faculty basketball game offers one opportunity to get the laugh on our professors before they get the "final" one. JUSTICE? Within four weeks some 4,000 students in the University will begin to reckon. A semester's work will have been completed and the inventory will be taken. The faculty will institute its cutting process. Some students will drop by the wayside while others will re-roll in courses for the second-year, even the third time. Others bless them, will pursue the even tenor of their ways, unsilenced by the examination flurry, with credits and course intact. At this time of the year, Registran George O., Foster will have the records come into his office on which he will be issued the grade standings for this first semester. The time calls forth the query, "Will the Pre-medies and the Pharmines again rest on the bottom rung?" Can it be said that they, in their patent warrant have established themselves as the HILL'd dump people or in some other reason? Students in those departments have complained that the blame lies with the grading methods used by instructors in those courses. In certain classes, they report that grading is based on the criterion that one-third of the class should flunk, with the other grades distributed among those in the remaining two-tribes. If this is true, is such a styx fair? That the faculty knows its business is granted. Instructors in each department should do their grading as they see fit, without having to conform to general rules that probably would not fit all cases. But it is unfair to publish lists comparing grades of students in various departments when the grades are not all made on the same basis. Observation does not indicate that the Pre-medics and the Pharmacies are any dumber than any other group. "Wellesley women may receive 66 letters a day from Harvard men, but "I wager a lot of them are from mothers who want to borrow money" declares the Sophisticated Sophi-nore. other group. PEACE AND PROFITS The theory is that these men, selected for the purpose, would be sufficiently internationally minded to refuse to sell the war necessities to would-be belligerants. Edward N. Hurley, newly appointed secretary of war, has a plan for the insurance of permanent peace. He would make war impossible by placing the control, manufacture and sale of chemicals essential to war in the hands of a couple of dozen leading industrialists of three or four nations. Somehow, we doubt that Secretary Hurley's plan will meet general approval. Of all proposals for the abolition of war this seems the most firmly theoretical. We cannot grasp the hypothesis that there is in existence a group of a dozen or more capitalists sufficiently passive to profits to give them up to prevent a mere war. A war would mean great profits. War would be something to encourage. If capitalists were sufficiently high-minded to fill such posts, they would not be capitalists in the first place. At any rate, past experience has not shown capitalists to be ardent protestors. War brings profit. we are open to suggestions as to the best methods of producing inoculum during the weeks preceding finals.

When the water was cut off on Tennessee street Thursday evening Harry West, a Kappa Ski, wandered from room to room of the house conversing with the other numbers at home as "No." would reply the still determined member. "Are you thirsty?" "That's fire, because there isn't any water," was Winst's closing remark. "We were here all night." Si's were hunting drinking water and one went as far as Brisbane to get "No," the member would reply. "Wouldn't you like a drink of ale?

Reasonable' Prices Dear Santy: At The Concert For Good Food Come to The New Cafeteria --- Convenient Location By John W. Shively The annual Christmas vespers yesterday by the School of Fine Arts measured the movement in quality and all the traditions, even to the baby squallining at inopportune moments—without inattentive removal from the room. Again it was the instrumental portions which were foremost as far as music is concerned. The vocal solations generally were well written and sometimes overpowered, by the various instrumental ensembles. The tablaux were the nearest to perfection. The departments of design and painting took the greatest possible advantage of the two general factors—the use of color and the use of effect effects. "The Adoration" was probably the most colorful Most of the audience was watching Walton beigham light the candles duringly as he sang the instrumental ensembles, the Bach-Ground "Ave Maria." The floating accompaniment part was so numbered it is most suitable for the harp, and Merynn Anderson took this part carefully. She was one of the best, excellent work on the violin, and M. Swarthout and Lee S. Groune took the early orchestra and organ parts off. Laurie Everett Anderson's "A Lullaby for the Eve of Noon" was a soothing ensemble played by the same persons who figured in the "Ave Maria," with the execution of Mr. Gessle who was supplanted by the composer and another composition by Mr. Anderson which he played as a postlude. The chorus of 30 voices was unfrequently not well balanced. The男's voices could be board only occasionally, Mr. Greene paused just twice for the volume of the choir. The best choral number was "Sleep, My Joans, Sleep," with solo parts by Treane Ponchody and W. H. Douriney, and an ensembler use. kampagne Langmade Nelson and Alice Moncrie President Christophe Dufour, the French Frene Poebally had good harmonization in their dust, "The Virgin by the Sea."

Dr. Rey L. Moodie, specialist in the diseases shown by ancient monkeys, who has been making intensive studies of Egyptian gods and mythology of knowledge about the diseases of Egypt, points out that Merceptapha was an old man when he mounted the thigh of a giant fox. His hair, although crumble to skin and bone, shows great folds of skin about the face, neck, and hands, thus proving certain traits of the ancient companion individual. A fringe of white hair enriched his almost bald head. The cartilages of his voice box become bony and the teeth were sharp. When this gentle ruler sent his char- tles and officers out in the name of "Pharushid" to bring back the concep- tions, the officers were recalled in his palace physically disabled to the point where any exertion was painful and continued anaclastic.
