A TRADITION
Traditions come and go. New ones are started even as older ones become extinct. We sometimes lose sight of the fact that a tradition becomes such more through its age than anything else, and so we try to build up new traditions and forget those that really are old.
There was, over a decade ago, a tradition of this University which caused a great furor among the students and attracted much attention outside the campus. This was the burning in effigy of the "Tiger," emblem of our friendly enemy, the University of Missouri.
The tiger was placed on top of a huge bovine and slowly dawned away with as the pep thermometer of the students soared skyward. The students actually bought tickets to the greatest of all rallies held just prior to the annual game. The great artificial tiger, clumsily built though it was, represented Missouri's hope and as it was transformed into smoke the rally reached its peak.
Surely this tradition should be revived for the purpose of generating spirit for that final great clash of the football season.
STARVATION
This morning a million or more children complained because the breakfast food or some other thing was of such a nature that it did not meet with their approval. Americans are all to prone to accept the beneficiencies of life without giving a thought to the source of it. A moment might well be spent in giving thanks for the ample provisions with which we are blessed. Let us stop now and give a thought to the misery of others and be thankful that we are not suffering in the same way.
Nature has been rather unfair in her
her distribution of the world's goods
in terms of food stuff. While Ameri-
can boasts one of the greatest crops
of her time one of our sister nations,
Russia has 350,000 children—to say
nothing of adults—on the verge of
starvation. Typhus is rapidly over-
coming the weakened bodies of babies
and their mothers. To add to the
general misery, rains are making
a great part of the devastated region
impassible.
A RANEE COMES TO HOLLYWOOD
On the far away island of Borneo, the strange natives of the independent kingdom of Sarawak are ruled over by an Englishman. This English rajah has done much toward raising the standard of living in that yet uncivilized country.
And now, the wife of this potentate is coming to America. She also is English. Cultivating a trip to various parts of the world, her highness the rance of Sarawak will make an extended stay at Hollywood to become an aspirant for honors in the land of kleig lights and clicking cameras.
How the rance of English blood will like Hollywood is a matter of conjecture. With her experience and ner knowledge of that quarter of the globe where her husband is king, she may have more than an average chance to receive recognition in the film world. But there is the passi-
bility that she may not like the American movie colony, despite its many imitations of such strange lands as Borneo.
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE
Many voters may not realize that they are voting only indirectly for the president of the United States. It is possible that a candidate may poll a popular vote of several thousand more than his opponent and still not be elected, since the final choice will be made by a group of men known as the electors, selected to choose the president.
These men comprise the Electoral College which was founded by the constitutional convention of 1787 with the idea that it would serve as a group of deliberate men who could pick the best man for the office, each member being allowed to vote for whom he pleased. But the procedure of the college today is mainly automatic. The electors vote for their party candidate as they are pledged to do.
Each state is entitled to as many presidential electors as it has members of the United States senate and house of representatives. After the college convenes in the state capital three copies of the vote and the names of the electors are signed, certified and sent to Washington. The returns must be ready for the consideration of congress on the second Monday of February. At a joint session of the senate and house the votes are counted and the candidate who has a majority of the whole number of electors is deceived president—long after the country has forgotten about the election turmoil.
Many political observers believe that this system is "cumbersome, antiquated and useless" and suggest the abdication of the electoral college and the substitution of direct election. It does appear that the plan adopted in 1787 could bear revision since problem that confronted politicians these days are very different from those of today. Fraud and corruption are encouraged by the present system because when an election is likely to depend on the results in one or two doubtful states
trated there. Then too in states, either consistently Democratic or Republican the votes of the minority party do not effect the final result in the least.
If no candidate has a majority, the election is thrown into the house of representatives which brings out another defect since then the vote is taken by states and each state has one vote. As a result 77,000 people in Nevada would have the same voice as 10,000,000 people in New York. It is time that the voters of the United States discarded the old outgrown, complicated political machinery of the Revolutionary period and adopted a method whereby the president might be elected by popular vote.
City authorities at Edmton, Alberta, have offered a reward of five dollars each for the capture, dead or alive, of two rats known to be at large in the city, having escaped from a railway car. But you cannot blame the rats; maybe they emigrated from the United States.
Maybe those Mexican senators who drew their pistols during a recent heated discussion in the upper house of the Mexican legislature got their idea from Chicago.

Premier Mussolini again showed his penchant for the theatrical when he imposed Fascist forces in Italy, and Fascista he stood on the imposing steps of the Victor Immanuel monuments in Rome and laid certificates of over $7,000,000 of Italy's indebtedness on two attests to ancient geography, with France and Italy's financial burdens were to that extent reduced by the voluntary

Floating Pumice and Volcanic Ash May Indicate A Submarine Volcano
Apia, Western Samoa. The pumice and volcanic ash, floating on the surface of the south Pacific Ocean between the Fiji and tonga groups of islands, are the first indication of a new submarine volcano. Perhaps it may finally lead to the formation of a faron, for Falcon island, 120 miles to the southeast, appeared about a year ago, formed from similar volcanic material. The announcement of the boating pumice was made here to Science Service by Dr. Andrew Thomson, director of the Apia Observatory. A British ship, H. M. S. Carlisao, was the first to report it.
Cutoff Rules, whom the reader will remember as a cousin of the Dash boys, Jim and Thirty, has a brother called Ad Cutoff Rule.

Ad is a fairly clever fellow and seldom gets out of place, so he shouldn't cause the reader much worry.
"Inside Stuff"
Our Contemporaries
Many articles have been written concerning intelligence in general, and intelligence (or lack of it) in college students in particular. In some studies, we have lacked intelligence, we should feel highly lainted and should consider that personal intelligence is a rare ability just as rare among college students as among country politicians or moral uplifters or militants and moral uplifters no one except to find intelligence, but the common conception or rather mere conception in that inference is that intelligence includes students the defect because a planning one and all the more so when the lack of intelligence is floundered in the college.
A college education can supply knowledge, which, when coupled with hard work, will enable the latter to be the most important component of the economy. It is erosion, therefore, as no matter how much effort you do, it derides the law of culture.
Ignorance itself is not a nice idea, but becomes so when checked in the mangle of academic learning. Then its potentialities for harm become unbounded, because it is able to gain the car; then its potentiality as a public which still retains the native belief that college means wisdom. —McGill Daily.

For a country where wealth is scarce such a sacrifice attests the hold which Mussolini has obtained on the bank of Italy, offering, however, will have no far-reaching effect on the state of Italian public finances. The burning of these banks will have little impact on the Italian public debt by approximately one-sixth of 1 per cent. For each $100 the government owed before the nee's bundles it still owed.

During that trip, all the winters and extent were passed, the last one sighted by seventy miles southwest of Saxn., Fri. A ship, H. M. S.

The next day, farther west of Saxn., a ship sighted all of it, about a half mile broad, and extending for many miles in a

A now scenario has been written with a waitress for a hermits. The director thought it would be a good idea to hire an actual restaurant, one of a chain known throughout the country. He wanted to do an environment for permanent use.
Instead of being flattered by the request and gratified at the prospect of wide-pread publicity they replied that the script would first have to be in a foreign language, because no one would be nothing in it decoratory. Their idea evidence was that the throbbing of entertied pie and the incipient soiling of boot by the aid of a gorges set on the table would not be good publicity for a real restaurant—N, Y, Times.
