PRESTIGE OF BOOZE
Since prohibition there has been a notable increase in drinking among co-educated upper classes. The cause has been attributed to hang-over from pre-Volunteer days and drinking merely because it is forbidden.
But this alone cannot explain why so many good Americans feel forced to defy the Constitution and statutes and stock their collars with bad liquor. An article in a recent number of Collier's says that it all lies in the fact that more possession of bores gives premium prestige.
A primitive universal desire for social recognition lies at the base of this change in customs. Since the possession of booze means prosperity and social prestige the so-called upper classes literally break their necks to be able to offer a variety of drinks to their friends. They merely follow the custom of leisure classes of days of old who exhibited social position by what they could afford to eat and drink.
Undoubtedly this is a silly way to show social standing, but since it is a cheap and easy way of obtaining the much desired distinction it seems destined to continue, for a time at least. It requires less time, money, and discrimination than some useful collecting of antiques or rare works of art. It is the popular way of showing position and everyone must keep up with the times!
THE OILY MEXICAN MESS
One must hope that it will not continue. One cannot believe, says the article, that the people will continue to rank social positions by drinking and inducing friends to drink something of such low quality that they would not apply it to their outer tanks as toilet loft. One cannot but believe that the American people have too much judgment for it to continue long.
In an article entitled "Our Mexican Diplomacy," in The Nation for Feb. 10, a review of the past American administrative policy toward our southern neighbor, ends by calling attention to Secretary Kellegg's withdrawal of warnings of an impending Mexican revolution.
The present trend of American public opinion is towards a more liberal policy in the handling of our relations toward Mexico during the formative period in that government.
In the words of the article, our recent legislative program was conceived in petroleum and dedicated to the proposition that American property rights take precedence over Mexican national needs and aspirations.
It is strikingly true that while the existence of our own country is due to the outside aid granted us during our revolutionary period, we have refused that aid to Mexico in an analogous situation.
In a resolution introduced in the U. S. Senate recently by Senator La Follette, it is provided that all diplomatic communications between the two countries be made public to provide the means for determining public opinion on the question.
Such a move would be beneficial and a distinctly forward step in our state department policy. It is to be helped that some means may be devised for establishing a helpful friendly spirit between us and our neighbor.
MARION TALLEY'S CAREER
Wednesday night on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City Marion Talley, a Kansas City girl,唱 out of her teens, will sing in "Rigidolto" before thousands of opera goers in the great metropolis.
This girl's story reads like a fantasy tale, and now she comes to the place where she must convince a hardened "first-night" audience or her career will be dimmed.
A few years ago Marion Talley was a school girl, not unlike thousand in this country today. But someone discovered that she had an unusually attractive singing voices. A movement began to give her a chance to become a famous percussionist in the musical world. Those who have heard her have marveled at her ability. The people of Kawasan City have added in her training, and now some 200 of them will have the opportunity of seeing the result of their efforts when they listen to her in her first operatic role in the great Metropolitan opera house.
What an occasion will be for this girl. She will know that she must make good then, but all indications are that she is capable of doing so. May Marion Tailer's first appearance as an operatic performer be the fore-runner of a wonderful career.
A NEW ALSACE
Tyrol may become a new Absele
The situation in Alto Ado, the name
that patriotic reasons led Italy to give
to her war-gained provinces in
the Eastern Alps, is being presented as
part of the play of 1918 vignettes. Premi-
mer Mussolini and Premium Held of
Bavaria are trying to make the pro-
duction a hit.
Exaggeration on both so. complicates the problem. The German reports of fascist terrorism are not entirely supported. On the other hand Italian provinces are constantly being broken. The press has been supported by the governments, citizenship, Many Tyrroles, especially the Autoro-German refugees from Sicilian Tyroli, book upon the Italian movements as threat of invasion.
Fan-Germans are of two kinds. These who remained in Tyrol under the program of minority rights are content to remain as Italian subjects. The other kind is made up of the others of refugees from Tyrol, former Austro-German nationals of the urban class, who lost their offices when the fasciati took control. Discontent with the Italian rule led them to cross the Austrian border and form aggressive societies directed against the fasciati administrative methods.
All Pan-German Tyrolese are using world-wide propaganda to affect a reconsideration of their case. Their ultimate goal is an autonomous state but a minority protection treaty from the League of Nations would satisfy them at present.
Charges against the fascist range from murder in the past to cultural oppression in the present. Leading Tyroleone exonerates the Italians from charges of physical intimidation and organized carpetbagging, but all oppose the cultural oppression. It is on this score they seem to have reason for complaint.
Our petition makes four demands: first, the privilege of teaching the German language in private schools; second, freedom of speech and freedom of the press; third, adequate use of the German language in courts of law where non-Italian speaking Tyrroles are being tried; and fourth, the right to hold public meetings and adopt measures by popular vote.
Germans fear for the preservation of their racial integrity. Immigration from Italy and inter-marriage with Italian, together with suppression of the German language, will in a few generations cause the Germans to lose their nationality.
Methods the Germans employed against Alcea and Lorraine after the Franco-Presian war are being used against the Germans, and they dislike them. They know what will happen, and are making all attempts to prevent such measures being carried out. Upon their success rests their nationality, and the success or failure of the fascist methods of administration. Meanwhile the world watches with interest their little drama.

Collegiate Enthusiasm Greets New Popular Musical Numbers; Pleases American "Jazz King"
"Sure, come right in. You can talk to me while I dress for the concern if you don't mind, and I guess you newspaper people are used to that aren't you?" and the inquiring reporter assumed a more comfortable self and watched admirably as Paul Whittle made preparations for the concert.
"I'll have another cigaret, Jim mit," this to the little negro valet. "I'll report the afternoon in Kansas City and planned to get here about 5:30 but was late and haven't had much time. Yes, I'm going back to Kansas City tonight and will meet the boys there before we start to Florida."
The big idol of the popular music world buried himself dressing and taking advantage of the makehift dressing room in Robinson gymnastics while the little servant jammed here with his arm. A man with an attitude of utmost devotion.
Between puffs of the cigarette and answering questions asked by several persons who came into the room, the audience was engaged. The boy enjoyed playing to a college audience because he knew that his music would be appreciated. "In some cases," she said, "he used to tell the word "gizz" but the young folks in a college town, and even the
On Other Hills
The Emporia Teachers' Bulletin recommends this slogan for furniture dealers: "Bay a davenport and keep your daughter at home."
Another time out was called in the interview while Whiteman adjusted the little black box he that offset the glossy white front of his dress shirt, and gave a few more orders to his assistants.
The University of California gcle club will henceforth sing nothing but classical numbers, eliminating from its programs jazz, vaudeville stunts, and rock 'n' roll. They are not representative of the university. The gcle club has taken extensive tours, having traveled three times in Europe, twice to the Orient, and twice to Alaska.
"Say, it must be about time I was going out. I am sorry that I don't have more time for you. Possibly I could see you a few minutes right after the concert if you want to come back. I'll wait." The carrier hurried out of the room, taking the long host inhale from his ever present fag.
As the reporter entered the room after the concert a welcoming voice sounded, 'I am mighty glad you came back because I want to say that I surely enjoyed this evening. Those folks surely made us feel good. You know a fellow can always do better when he feels that he has been well treated every one of the boys enjoyed it and they gave the best they had.'
"Here my time is up again and I have to start for Kansas City. Goodbye, and just tell everyone that I am as good a time as they did and hope that I can come back and play for the same team," he said in his statement. Whitman was gone, another days work done, and another crowd of people pleased.
Students at the University of Utah have begun their final drive to complete their union building fund. Their goal is a fund of $250,000 and they have yet to raise $80,000. It is expected that the students on the fund will pledge the remaining amount, and construction will begin soon.
