Milne "'The Kniyht ll'hoseArmour Didn't .Squeak."The Abbot of Blacklriars, the all-highest Monk of all the high Monksin that ancient monastic order, is abusy soul. His basket of problemsand responsibilities is heaped highthese days, so high in tact that he sel¬dom finds time for the sprinkling ofr'-e and rosemary. In fact it was onlylast night, I believe, that he passedout orders that from now on he wouldonly autograph tlie memory-booksof blondes. In the gray ot a fadingday a long line ol bowed brunettes,like the e.xodus ot the unwashed inthe valley of the Kashmiri, could beseen wending their way down Fifty-seventh street, their uninsenbed liooksunder their arms. But that is the wayof Black Knight of Mandel.Every day, from morn ’till eventide,he goes about smoothing out the chi¬caneries of the silent order and re¬moving travail from the lives of theother monks. Even on Sunday morn¬ing, Mother’s day, he had no time forthe flamboyant trivalities of life. Hisconversation was as follows:“Western Union.”. “This is Derwood Lockard. Vees.LockAKD, not Lock HARD. Ves.That’s right. What kinda form let¬ters have y’ got for Motlier>' day.Yes, read ’em . . . No. That won’tdo . . . Ves. i'll take No. 6. Except—say . . . operator; Leave out that“Mother O’ Mine’’ on the tail endof it. Ves. She knows that wellenough as it is.-^nd so the beauteous sentimentsof the day flew out from the monas-astis heart of .\bbot, and he turnedhis attention to the problems of theorder, confident of the rhetoric of Mr.W. Union. .\ few hours later someone was fondly murmuring, “Oli myUerwood, he’s so thoughtful.”He sits back in his seat in Man-del hall and watches his choruses la‘»ther themselves with rhythms, hecontemplates full houses, and eatslunch at the Gargoyle, where the'Black Knight” seeks to forget thethousand responsiliilities that crowdhis mind. NAME CRONEiSPROFESSOR OFPALEONTOLOGY“The House That Jack Built” hasonly another week to go, as they say.Last night they rehearsed the showfrom beginning to end, the first com¬plete showing of the year. Mr. GeorgeMorgenstern and the late Mr. MiltonS. Mayer sat in their box, chins inhands, and gazed fixedly upon the jobMr. Corniack had done in translatingtheir brain-child’s murmurings into thelanguage of the foot-lights. Mr. Mayerpassed cryptic remarks, and the silenteditor of the campus journal of wit& humor meditated upon tlie separatelines, and marvelled at the cavortingof the chorus. And so, amid theshouts or irate directors, the flashesof drunken spotlights in niauves andambers, the cursing of sw'eaty chorus-men backstage, the Silent Monks en¬acted their musical comedy beneaththe cpwl of the Black Friar and thegrace of God. Ami, incidentally, theshow looks as if it is going to go goodstuff. Ever since v/e entered thesewoods we’ve heard the rumor of “thebest Friars show since the NaughtyNineties,” and so we won’t say theconventional thing. Yet, we reiterate,it looks as if the Black Abbot,the humor editor: Mr. Morgen¬stern, the late Mr. Milton SMayer, and, especially Mr. BartCormack, were going to spread them¬selves next week-end. “The House ithat Jack Built” is a brand new' ideaand it has been well interpreted by theauthor of “The Racket.” With thatwe await the drawing of the marooncurtain and the crash of the cymbalson Mr. Jimmy Henschel’s State-Lakeband next Friday eve. Cambridge Man TakesOver Work OfProf. WellerCarey G. Croneis has accejited theappointment of the Board of Trus¬tees as assistant professor of inver¬tebrate paleontology. He will takeo\'er the w'ork of the late ProfessorStuart Weller, noted paleontologist ofthe University, who died last summer.The courses offered by Professor Wel¬ler had been dropped until the appoint¬ment of his successor.

He receives his Ph. 1).from Harvard at the close of the pres¬ent year.Revise CoursesThe courses in the paleontology forthe coming year have been revised toinclude several which Prof. Crone!'w'ill offer. .According to Dr. I'flson .^.Bastin, chairman of the Department ofGeology, “It seemed an atipropriatetime tf> make changes in the pro-grom of paleontology. .Among thesechanges will he a new course in micro-paleontology in charge of Prof. Cron¬eis.

Prove Students’Sundae CapacityThe liquid capacity of the average col¬lege man has often been expressed interms of doubt. But as to solid foods,a constant cubic content was thought toexist.With reference to one Edward Mat-tick’s ability to consume ice cream, thiscondition of repletition is as yet indefinite.Mattick, a member of the polo team,recently remarked that he could eat twobricks of ice cream and a banana split.Buell Scace, cadet major of the R. O.T. C. unit, called his bluff. .And at Wal-green’s Mattick made good.Then he offered to eat three bricksan<l the banana split. Saice, however,held out for two sundaes in addition anda sardine sandwich. The time was setfor 12 t(xlay.Religious GroupsName CommitteeFor InvestigationThe Big Ten Conference on Re¬ligion held Friday and Saturday at theUniversity for the purpose of di.scuss-ing and determining religious needs ofthe various campuses, resulted in theappointment of a committee of fivethat will compile studies that havebeen made regarding student life, andW'ill he responsible for the organizationof a method of religious study ofw'hich Big Ten universities can makeuse.Dean Raymond .Asa Kent of North¬western was made chairman of thecommittee. Cooperating with him are:Professor E. H. Cameron of Illinois.Dr. M. Willard Lampe of Iowa, Pro¬fessor C. W. Bow'er ot the Univers’ty,and Lester Haffmeister, editor of theDaily Northwestern. The committeehas the power of calling a similar con¬ference next year, for the purpose ofcomparing the results of the variousstudies that have been made.Dean Kent stated that with regardto religion the principal need w,wthat of clarifying the issue. “Reli.gioi’must be consistent with what sciencesets forth,” said Dean Kent. “There i®a great deal of confusion present. Anattitude of indifference toward religionis predominant.” $9,000 AWAROEDTO WINNERS OFEXAMINATIONSOak Park and HydePark Tie ForLeadOak Park and Hyde Park highschool' tied for first place in the Scho¬lastic I iiterscholastig, with thirty-onepoints each.

The play will be re¬peated at 8:30 Saturday evening. May19 and 26 and June 2, it is announcedby the directors of the theater.Directed by Karl Rautzenberg, w'hogained his dramatic experience in Ger¬many, the play was produced with themain emphasis placed upon its emo¬tional character and the dramatic ten¬sion of its plot. Its staging represent¬ed a distinctly different viewpoint fromthat of Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske,whose presentation of Ibsen’s worktw'o years ago reflected the unemo¬tional characteristic of her own act¬ing, according to Nicholas J. Matsou-kas, director of the Cube. The Cube’sproduction was intact, without the de¬letion of a line, and none of the wordswere mumbled.“The lighting effects, under the su- . . 1pervision of John Hartwell and Louis jHosch, were arranged with a view to jcreating in the audience the same feel, jings which the actors were expressing.The abnormal state of affairs in“Ghosts” w'as accentuated by green 1floods and a disorderly set,” say.s jMatsoukas.Rotary Club HoldsU. of Chicago DayPresident Max Mason will be tliechief speaker at the weekly luncheonmeeting of the Rotary club of Giicagntoday in the Grand Ball Room of theHotel Sherman. “Un'vers’ty of ChicagoD.'>y” is being observed oy the orginiza-tion, and Dr. Mason’s topic will be “TheMak’ng of a University.”Bill Nash.

ART WORK IN THECAP AND GOWNSome people have complained ofthe inferior art work that has beenused in the Cap and Gown in form¬er years. To remedy these com¬plaints the staff has paid a profes¬sional artist to make up the draw¬ings of thirteen main headings ofsections. This art work is the bestprocurable and those who appre¬ciate artistic things will look for¬ward to the Cap and Gown thisyear. It has been so changed thatit can in no way be compared toformer issues.Such changes have not beenmade in former years because oftremendous added expenses. The1928 staff has assumed the risk andis waiting for the campus to acclaimits work.

Kyle Anderson leads hishorsehide warriors into battle against the doughty Wisconsinnine. But nobody around the Quadrangles with the possible ex¬ception of the unlucky reporter who drew the dismal assignmntand a swarm of some fifty neighborhood kids gives a tinker’s dam.The Maroon baseball team occupies a comfortable positionin the Big Ten standings, having won three conference games andlost an equal number. But nobody gives a continental whetherthe team leads the league or holds down the cellar position.As a matter of fact the present aggregation of baseball as¬cetics who toil away two or three hours a day on the empty lotacross the Midway is one of the best squads that have represent¬ed this University in recent years. Several of the players havebeen eyed with approval by managers and scouts of the majorleagues. Anderson and Priess are among the first six batter in theconference, both of them hitting over .400.The team as a whole has taken our traditional rival, North¬western, into camp twice. It eked out a 7-3 victory over today’sopponent in a previous match. It also dropped two ten-inningheartbreakers to Purdue, 6-5 and 7-6. All thing’s considered theteam has established a fairly creditable record.But the campus doesn’t care.The bleachers in Greenwood field are capable of seating 1500people, and they are nine-tenths empty at every game. The Chi¬cago cheering section is composed of a few dozen homeward-bound day laborers, a half dozen disillusioned concessionaries anda swarm of lusty young hero-worshippers.The status of “the gi’eat American sport” on this compus isindeed peculiar and unfortunate. Exhibitions of baseball almostequalling in skill major league performances and surpassing themin interest and color are staged weekly, FREE OF CHARGE. Butno students support the baseball team. There are no “wholesalemigrations” to Illinois or even Northwestern when the team goeson a trip. Pep meetings and enthusiastic send-offs are unheard of.No bands play as they fight it out in a literally empty lot. Indeed,the lot of a baseball player is a thankless one in this neighborhood.It is interesting to note that the most apathetic member ofthis same apathetic student body will tell you on the slightestprovocation what’s wrong wtih the White Sox, or what a damngood pitcher Charley Root is, or why the Giants won’t cop the1928 pennant. Incidentally the same individual a little later in theyear will pay $3.00 to freeze to death in a snow storm and cheerhimself hoarse at another athletic contest, replete with discom¬forts.It’s a strange world. But may we remark again that at 3:30today the University of Chicago baseball team will play the Uni¬versity of Wisconsin on Greenfield field, free of charge?

MAROON NINE INRETURN ITLT WITHWISCONSIN HEREBadgers Seek Revenge ForDefeat ByChicagoWith a second victor.v over North¬western tucked under its belt, the Ma¬roon nine will take on a determinedCardinal baseball team here tomorrowafternoon. Chicago already has onevictory over the Badgers and, if itgets its second, will boost its confer¬ence rating over 500 per cent for thefirst time this year.“Tex” Gordon, stellar third base-man, is still in the hospital with asevere case of sinus trouble. Zim¬merman, who defeated the Badgers 8'to 5, may pitch, although it is possiblethat Kaplan will get the call.Coach Lowm.an’s pitching selectionfor Wisconsin will depend upon thegeneral condition of his staff tomor¬row. Frank Haggerty, a recruit whohas just recovered from a recent ill¬ness, looks pretty good and may dothe flinging for the Badger team. TheCardinals are severely handicapped bythe loss of .Ambrose Massey, secondbaseman, who was unable to play atMinnesota last Saturday because of anattack of jnfluenza. It is doubtful thathe will be in shape to face the Ma¬roons.When Dad was a ‘^Modern Youth”ICYCLESjStereopticon lectures,and the “gilded” youths 'withtheir horses and carts; at night themidnight oil burning in studentlamps while the gas lights glared andflickered across the campus—thegay nineties when Dad was incollege seem primitive to us to-day.Now it’s sport roadsters, themovies, and radios.

The results were disappointing.I toW the druggist of my experiencewith it. He asked if I had tried Edge-worth. I told him I never had. I fol¬lowed his suggestion, and I am honestwhen I say that it has restored thesweetness to the pipe, and has mademe wonder.

ChicagoRailroading Under Roof.Most persons think of railroading as an outdooroccupation, hut not more than half the railway eni-l>loycs in this country work out in the open, even if wecount among these the employes who six*nd most oftheir time in engine cahs, in jiassenger train cars andin freight train cabooses. The i<ro|K*r housing of rail¬way activities is therefore a matter of considerahleinnM)rtance.It has w'ell been said, with truth, that if all thebuildings used by a fairly large railroad were broughttogether they would cover the space of a city. On therailroads as a whole, working space for approximatelyS(K).(XK) persons is recjuired indoors—or at least underroof in addition to a vast amount of storage space.I'he usual t_\ i)es of railway buildings are these:pas.senger stations, freight stations, office buildings,shops, storehouses, towers, powerhouses, dwellings, thesmall shelters known as “shanties” and sheds. 'Phesebuildings range in cost from a few dollars to millionsand in floor space from a few situare feet to acres,.'some railroads also own and operate hotels, grain ele¬vators and docks.Railway stations and office buildings are familiarsights to most railway patrons, there being at least one.large or small, in even’ community .served by a railroad.Less is known generally, however, about the followitig:Shops, including enginehou.ses and car rejxiir sheds,:ire the buildings in which is carried on the mainten¬ance work required by the rolling stock of a railroad..Millions of dollars’ worth of highly specialized m;i-chinery is installed in railway shops, and many milesof trackage are necessary to serve them,.Storehouses shelter the valuable supplies which therailroad buys in bulk and distributes as needed; suclimaterials represent approximately one-fourth of a rail-n»ad’s operating expenditures.I'owcrs usually house the intricate machinery ofthe switch and signal plants known as “interlockers.”Powerhouses range from those which serve great sta¬tions, office buildings and shojw to those which simplypump water into wayside tanks. The dwellings listedare those which a good many railroads rent to theirsection foremen and other permanent maintenance ofway employes. “Shanties” are provided at the workinglocations of switchtenders and crossing flagmen; towersoccasionally house the watchmen who operate gates atcrossings. Sheds protect the motor cars and tools as¬signed to .section gangs.From thrs outline it will be seen that millions ofdollars must be devoted to keeping a roof over railwayactivities, which is another reason why the railroadsneed to earn a living wage.Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.L.
