O. O. McIntyre's report that Broadway barbers are bootleggers and bootleggers, barbers, reminds one of that ancient symphony, "Shave and a haircut, Buy Rum!"
LEARNING TO WALK
Today the Philippine Islands are asking for their independence—for the privilege of standing by themselves as a nation among nations. The United States, in their protectorate through the Jones Bill of 1916 promised them independence as soon as they were able to take care of themselves. But like the nervous mother she is afraid—theough she wasn't in 1776. For she was a child, then, eager for a chance to live her own life.
European and American customs will always differ. In Europe they raise babies for future wars; in America, for future homes. Schoolers in the United States, glass and otherwise, seem destined to defeat. The Canadians won the international boat race last month.
A GOURD VINE TO LEAN ON
Historically tells us of two famous suklers,—Achilles and of Jonah. One may forget most of the details of the Trojan War, but one phrase that is used several times in the story invariably comes to mind—that of "Achilles sulking in his tent." All his brave deeds are marred by the fact that he had a sulking, pouting disposition.
And we have them with us on the campus today—these persons who when they don't get their own way go into their tent and sulk. They're on bad terms with the world in general and themselves in particular.
And when we think of Jonah, but two things are generally remembered—his connection with the whale and his sitting outside the city walls, sulking—how he he sat there for so long that a guard vine grew up and then he leaned against it and sullen in peace and comfort. The really important thing—the bringing of the message to the city—is overshadowed by this seemingly insignificant thing.
Or when they get their feelings hurt instead of bracing up and whistling a lively tune and forgetting the thrust, they brood over it and cuddle it and sit outside the city wall like Jonah, and wait for a gourd vineto lean on.
The Oklahoma war has subsided,
Turkey and Greece are quiet, the
Ruhr sleeps under military guard,
and Russia is at ease. What a
wonderful time to hear from W. J.
Bryan again.
FOCUS ON WORLD AFFAIR
These are days of social unrest, the world over; nations clash with nations on questions of policy and ideals long entertained. Here within our own country, vast, determined factions struggle with questions of ethics and individual privileges and of the ideals of true Americanism.
On our own Hill, the Y. M. C. A. through its noonday luncheons and discussion groups, and the Sociology club, through its weekly meetings, are supervising the presentation of fact and argument for and against the vast movements for the benefit of those students who are deeply interested in the welfare of their fellow men. The future peace of the world, the future harmony within these United States is dependent upon the wisdom and understanding with

At last man has broken away from the hide-bound convention of business suits and Turades. It is another sign of the New Age, an evidue of the growing emancipation of the human soul.
Think of the comfort it must afford some gentlemen to dress in purple velvet trousers. Silver buckles might be added to the list of Christmas gifts "For Him."
The jabot might be a mark of distinction, white, perhaps, with contrasting rufles to match the color of the eyes. And of course, to bring the whole costume into harmony, the tassel on the rakish kism o'shanter must be of the same shade.
Verily, 'tis a changing world!

The exodus of large numbers of negroes from the South to northern industrial centers may prove to be a factor in revolutionizing farming methods in the South. Whereas farming heretofore has been carried on by methods that in the North are more or less obsolete, the decrease in the supply of cheap labor for cotton-picking and chopping will necessitate more modern methods.
A NEW SOUTH
The South is the chief source of cotton used in American factories and the demand must be met. We can probably look for the systematic application of scientific methods for solving the boll-wheeil and the labor problems.
If statesmen become speeches when they view the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, why not build one in Washington.
TEARS DRY
The world, like an individual, has its moods. Times of sadness are followed by equally intense periods of light-heartedness and pleasure. Tears fall and grief is bitter, but the pendulum swings back, slowly sometimes, but inevitably. Tears dry and new interests assuge the bitterness of grief.
Sorrow held sway during and immediately after the war. In the tension of emotion then, as individuals mourned their dend and nations faced seemingly impossible tasks, it seemed almost as if joy could never return. But five years can work great changes. In the present age of carefree pleasure and excitement seeking, sorrow has been driven to the background. The tears of the ford have dried.
And tears should dry. The world must go on—not live in the past. But memories should live, for progress, is guided by memories, even as joys are realized more fully after grief.

CONVOCATION:

OPAL LYNN.
By Ted Wear
The story is essentially a character study of a haramness, worthless, but entirely forgivable old man. It is that portion of his life, when it is filled with the dastardly deeds of villains who rob him of his property. The play is complete with the essential elements, such as mistakes them without insulting the audience by letting them be aware of the old-time formula.
Thomas Jefferson was amusing and sympathetic in his interpretation of "Lightin'in" Bill Jones. No character has appeared on the stage here recently which has been so genuinely and thoroughly interesting.
An extremely bit of pantomime was "lightnin'bit" closing scene in the first act. The business of taking the trunk up and down the stairs was laughable but a little overdone. One felt a little afraid, making "Lightnin'" work so hard.
His use of the statement, "Iused-to-be" has an effective effectronicity which led to his famous story of driving a flock of bees across the desert in the dead of winter and never losing a bee.
The fact of the borderline between California and Nevada running through the middle of the hotel gave opportunity for delightful fun, at times even furnishing a thrill or two. Stuart Fox as Marvin, the hero of the great outdoors gave a different version to the usual trappings of the resort. The hotel was very good and his whole manner was likeable and a bit different.
Helena Phillips as "Lightkin's" wife was entirely in sympathy with her character, and her manner of walking was little short of perfect. Bessie Bacen, she of the insipid voice, was good but her character was hardly lovable, in fact the affected voice grated once or twice.
Margaret Mosier as the heron was very good to look upon and really quite capable in the part. Her stage manner and actions seemed a little more realistic than the amorous judge was excellent. The rest of the cast was good. The changing of the scenes on absolute schedule time seemed short of miraculous, even considering the fact that it was a professional change of scenery in exactly one minute is rather remarkable.
