It wishes to eliminatethe dinner at the Washington Prom­enade. The Fbod Administration willappreciate the sacrifice. So will thepromenaders. But the poor membersof the Maroon staff who slave into thefar hours of the night 1n order toget out the Prom edition will miss thecustomary culinary reward for theirlabors. But such is life.PLACIDITYOne argument made in favor of thecontinuation of the Washington Prom­enade tradition is that a war yearshould. not mean the sacrifice of allcampus pleasures. It may be thatChicago men will be dying for libertyin France by next February. Willthose who stay at home wish to danceto the death of great patriots 'as theyhave hitherto danced to the birth of agreat patriot?There is a strange placidity aboutthe University that will one day bepierced to the quick.•APRES LA GUERREWalter Poague, '14, writes this tothe editor of the University of Chi­cago Magazine:.

WEBSTER Dr. Rachel Yarros will speak on thesubject "Social Hygiene in War Time"today at 3:30 in Harper assembly.This is the eighth lecture in the series"Types' of Social Work" given underthe auspices" of the PhilanthropicService division of the school of Com­merce and Administration.Dr. Yarros is chairman of the com­mittee of Health and Recreation ofthe Woman's Commitee of the Na­tional Council of Defense. The workof this committee is intimately con­nected with the. moral and publichealth problems arising, in communi­ties adjacent to, training camps andcantonments. The experience of Dr.Yarros as a practising physician forover twenty years equips her to deal ====2in a rational way with the study andsolution of these questions.Dr. Yarros was one of the first wo- Typewriters Rented A, MUSEMENTSmen to secure distinction as a prac­tising physician. Coming_ to Chicagoat the time of the World's Fair, shesoon secured recognition of her abilityand skill. For the past fifteen, yearsshe has been a member of'the facultyof the School of Medicine of the Uni­versity of Illinois.Not only as physician and teacher,but �lso as social worker is Dr. Yarrosknown in Chicago.' For the last tenyears she has lived in Hull House andgiven of her time and strength to thepeople of this neighborhood. She has-been especially active in the socialhygiene movement and has taken aleading part in securing a change of 'attitude toward the consideration ofmoral and publichealth problems. Herpast experience and her preserit workwith the committee of Health andRecreation especially fit her to pre­se�t .the problems of social hygienein war time. -of the audience to classical referencesshould be noted.

Kent labors hard to provide theprofessional comedy of the piece, but,since he is not funny himself-ex­cept accidentally-and his lines are abit heavy, his results are' not com­mensurate with his efforts, and thefun 'slips in at odd and unexpectedplaces.Perhaps these comments do notseem to respond to the titulary appeal.Nevertheless, as the enlisted men atCamp Grant call fraternally to visit­ing males, "You'll like it." TheManaging Editor of the Maroon didand so did the reviewer. Togetherthey decided that the best lookingchorus girl is a man; that Mr. DonaldMacDonald is one of the very fewreally good male dancers in musicalcomedy; that Helen Gunter is an at­tractive person; that Miss Pavloskawears attractive gowns attractively;that the music throughout is pleasur­able; that the. evening was not illspent. . . . - RACHEL YARROS TALKS ON"SOCIAL HYGIENE IN.. WARTIME" TODAY IN HARPERA Review of the Musical Comedy on View at the Gives Eighth,"Social Work" Lecture-Illinois Has Been Practising PhysicianOver Twenty Years.No one can be very harsh with aplay which appeals to his sympathiesdirectly in its title. There is in sucha situation a gentle pathos whichdiverts disparagement. And, lest thereviewer be accused of reading toomuch in the phrase, he hastens to saythat if the title is not an appeal forleniency �t has no excuse for being,sincei it' has- nothing to do with theproceedings on the stage. Of courseit is the name of a "musical scene"in the score, but "The Road that LiesBefore" is also a "musical scene" and"You Said Something" and "BrightLights" mightjas well be. And anyone of these names moreover fits theshow as perfectly as "Have a Hearl."It may be gathered from this com­ment that the plot of the piece is a bittenuous. It runs something like this.Rutherford Schoonmaker is after Mrs.Schoonmaker, who is after a divorce;Ted Sheldon is after Lizzie O'Brien,who is after some counterfeis bills·Henry, the elevato'r boy, is after Doll;Brabazoon, the movie star, who isafter Schoonmaker with letters; Mrs.Pyne is' after her husband who isafter everything feminine in sight, ex­cept Mrs. Pyne. In the end everY­body gets what he or she wants withthe possible exception of Henry andMrs. Pyne, and the audience gets whatit paid for-an evening's freedomfrom thought and a chance to lave inLydian airs and laugh at irrespon­sible jests.Freedom from thought is the firstrequisite of musical comedy. Twoallusions should, therefore, be ex­punged from the book of "Have aHeart." The first is a jape about the·Book of. Lamentations and the secondone abo�t. O. Henry. The indifference.
