PICKED BY TEAM AS LEADERDouglas Talks onProbabilities forSocial Insurance“By far the mo.st effective andmost desirable method of putting so-<ial insurance into effect is by out¬right national legislation,” .said PaulH, Deogias, Professor of Economics,speaking for the Graduate Club ofBusiness and Economics yesterday.Although the matter will be tak¬en up at the next session of Con-,grps.s, Douglas explained, it i» unlike¬ly that .such an act will be pa.s.sedby the present administration, inas¬much as the Democratic party plat-fonn in 1932 advocated state con¬trol of .social insurance.There are several methods bywhich unemployment insurance, oldage pensions, and disability insur¬ance can be administered. One wassuggested by the unadopted Wagner-l^ewis bill, which proposed that em¬ployers pay a certain percentage oftheir federal taxes to an unemploy¬ment relief fund controlled by thestate. The employers would getcredit on their taxes for the amountturned in to this fund.The other method, called the sub¬sidy .system, provides that payrollsbe taxed directly, and the moneyturned over to a government fund.The government would then turn|>ortions of the fund over to thestates, in proportion to the need.Professor Douglas stated that thesubsidy system adapts itself morereadily to the efficient handling ofrelief funds, and further puts thegovernment in a position to withholdfunds from a state in which corruptgovernment and inefficient manage¬ment divert the money.

All librarieswill be closed, as usual, on Sundaysand on December 24 and 25 andJanuary 1. All books due duringvacation may be kept out until Jan¬uary 2.Beginning Saturday, December 22,Harper library and reading room, W31, and the Biology, Education, Law,Modern Language, Psychology, Ros-enwald.

With some petitions still out¬standing, 452 people had signed thepetition protesting the ban againstthe booklet written by William F.O.gburn by late yesterday afternoon.Of this number, 83 were members ofthe faculty.It is e.stimated that at least 100more names are included on the listsstill out. Notification of the resultsof the petition will be sent to vari¬ous government officials includingRobert Fechner, the director of theCCC and the man who banned thebook, the United States Commis.sion-er of Education, and the Secretaryof the Interior.Opinions FormedIn circulating the petition, it wasevident that definite opinions hadbeen formed on the subject of theban. Among the faculty membersapproximately one in four felt thatthe action taken by Fechner wasalthough regretable, perfectly welljustified. Justification did not risefrom the type of material in thebook, but rather from the feelingthat a governmental department hasthe right to .select the material thatit uses.The feeling that the ban was avirtual censorship occasioned someof the signatures. Since the book¬let was ordered and paid for by theGeneral Education board, and sincethat group holds the copyright onthe material, the booklet is undercontrol. The limited edition printedbefore the ban is not available fordistribution and no more copies willbe printed. To the students of the University:In these days when war is threat¬ened throughout the world, it is im¬portant that the students in the uni¬versities determine in their ownminds their beliefs on how to insurepeace for the country.

Twenty-two Major ‘C’s’Awarded by CoachShaughnessyGiving honor where honor wa.sdue, the Maroon football team ac¬claimed Jay Berw’anger a.s its captainand leader for the 1935 season atthe annual Chicago Alumni club ban¬quet last evening at the Universityclub. During the banquet the letterawards were made by Coach ClarkD. Shaughnessy and the special hon¬ors were given out by Judge WalterSteffen on behalf of the Order of theC.Because he starred not only whenhe was carrying the ball but alsowhen it was in the arms of his team¬mates, Berwanger wa.s further hon¬ored by being given the trophyawarded each year to the best block¬er on the team. Fullback Ewald Ny¬quist, who has been the mainstayof the Maroon secondary defense forthe last two seasons was adjudgedthe best tackier, and received thesecond statuette from Judge Stef¬fen.Least AppreciatedThere are always men, especiallylinemen, that play consistently goodgames during the season, but receivevery little recognition for their prow¬ess. Such a player was Sam White-side, 200 pound guard who becamethe proud pos.sessor of the C-men’saward to the man “most valuable tohis team that has received the leastrecognition.” Captain Ell Pattersonwas given the trophy for being themost valuable man to the team.Twenty-two major letters and fiveOld English “C’s” were given out tothe members of the squad. Receiversof the major “C” were: Whit€:side,Tom Flinn, Men-itt Bush, Patterson,Rainwater Wells, Nyquist, Berwan¬ger, Clarence Wright, John Baker,Prescott Jordan, Bob Perretz, JohnWomer.Gordon Peterson, Bartlett Peter¬son, Ralph Balfanz, Warren Skon-ing, Earl Sappington, Ned Bartlett,Bart Smith, Ed Cullen, Bill Langley,and Keith Hatter complete the list.Minor LettersTho.se who received the minor let¬ter awards were Jack Scruby, Har¬mon Meigs, Adolph Scheussler, BillRunyan, and Harry Nacey. Plainsweaters were given to the followingmembers of the squad for their faith¬ful attendance at practice. Gillerlain,Whittier, Shipway, Jones, W'hitney,Marynow.ski, Wolfenson, LeFevre,Thompson, Cutter, Kelley, Bo.sworth,Webster, Channon, Kellogg, ahd Lin¬dahl.Inaugurating a new custom thisI year the Alumni club gave a silverloving cup to the fraternity havingI the most members in attendance atj the banquet. This trophy was pre-i sented to Phi Kappa Psi who had aj representation of 30 men.! In electing Jay Berwanger to leadthem next season, the Maroons paid: tribute to their most outstandingplayer. It can be truly said that Ber¬wanger was a participant in some1 manner in every play of the .gameI while he was on the field. On of-; fense he either carried the Ball or! was the key blocker for one of the! other members of the backfield while! on defense his tackling was superb.Lose Eight MenI Besides the honors he received! from the alumni and his teammates,Berwanger has been chosen on everyj all-conference team and was placedon the official all-American teamI picked by the All-America Foot-, ball board.Next year the Maroons will bej without the services of six seniorsI through graduation and two men be-! cause of the so-called “Minnesota”freshmen eligibility rule. Flinn, Pat¬terson, Baker, Womer, Cullen, andSmith will receive their degrees be¬fore next fall while Bartlett Peter¬son and Langley are affected by theBig Ten ruling.A further announcement of in¬terest was made when Harry Swan¬son of the LaSalle "'treet coachingstaff informed thi ^sembled throngthat the Marooi will engage Ne¬braska in an eH y season conte.stnext year.IA iOliiiiilMi?age Four THE DAILY MAROON. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 13. 1934SPORT FLASHESBy TOM BARTONFLASH... a la Winchell. . .Nowthat Jay Berwanger has been select¬ed by the all-America board, what- ■ever controversy arising as to the irelative merits of the selections by Ithis board and those by GrantlandRice in his Collier’s all-Americanmay be settled, so far as Jay is con¬cerned by his inclusion on both of,them. Jay was second pick on the |A. P. concensus all-star team, first |pick by the all-America board, and ■do not be too surprised if the second ,greatest back ever to gallop on the !Midway is placed at left-half on jGrantland Rice’s team, soon to be I'e- :leased in Collier’s.Walter Camp who started the all-American idea in Collier’s is dead,but the tradition of the authentic all-American selection is claimed by Col¬lier’s which selection is made by Kicefor that magazine.♦ * +The Maroon basket team surprised Ius surprisingly... to say the slight- iest. Duvall lived up to expectationsand Pritikin came through. WithHaarlow in the lineup, maybe, Du-vail. Bill Lang, and Pritikin scoring, ithe Chicago five may cause some;consternation in the Conference. If jthe indications shown by the Whea-1ton game prove trustworthy, four iscorers, instead of two as the Ma- iroons depended upon last year, :should mean fewer one point losses Iand more victories.* ^A recent Maroon graduate won i$75 for the placing of a dollar bet |on the Notre Dame-Southern Cali-1fornia game last week-end. The afore¬said grad forecast the score exactly '14 to 0 for N. D. at 75 to 1 odds, jThat isn’t the .remarkable thing... jhe won at the same odds and the' same dollar in predicting the Chi-cago-Illinois 6 to 0 game. On bothbets he claims he was paid...* * *Fisher, Purple scoring ace, corral-ing sixteen baskets in two games,looks a possible scoring threat, bygosh. The Northwestern stardropped in eight baskets in each ofthe N. U. games to date, and evenagainst mediocre opposition that ispretty good.* *Were we surprised when we learn¬ed that Chicago is going to open upagainst Nebraska next season. TheCornhusker grid outfit has alwaysbeen a tough one, and indications arethat next season they will be no ex¬ception. At any rate Coach Shaugh-nessy’s opening game makes it appar-1ent that the Maroon coach expects jgreat things from the 1935 team.

I)eagia.s, Profe8.sor of Economics,speaking for the Graduate Club ofBusiness and Economics yesterday.Although the matter will be tak¬en up at the next session of Con-.gic.ss, Douglas explained, it i» unlike¬ly that .such an act will be passedby the present administration, inas¬much a.s the Democratic party plat-fonn in 1932 advocated state con¬trol of .social insurance.There are several methods bywhich unemployment insurance, oldage pensions, and disability insur¬ance can be administered. One was^^uggeated by the unadopted Wagner-l^ewis bill, which proposed that em-l»loyera pay a certain percentage oftheir federal taxes to an unemploy¬ment relief fund controlled by thestate. The employers would getcredit on their taxes for the amountturned in to this fund.The other method, called the sub¬sidy .sy.stem, provides that payrollsbe taxed directly, and the moneyturned over to a government fund.The government would then turnportions of the fund over to thestates, in proportion to the need.Professor Douglas stated that thesubsidy system adapts itself morereadily to the efficient handling ofrelief funds, and further puts thegovernment in a position to withholdfunds from a state in which corruptgovernment and inefficient manage¬ment divert the money.

Notification of the resultsof the petition will be sent to vari¬ous government officials IncludingRobert Fechner, the director of theCCC and the man who banned thebook, the United States Commission¬er of Education, and the Secretaryof the Interior.Opinions FormedIn circulating the petition, it wasevident that definite opinions hadbeen formed on the subject of theban. Among the faculty membersapproximately one in four felt thatthe action taken by Fechner wasalthough regretable, perfectly welljustified. Justification did not i-isefrom the type of material in thebook, but rather from the feelingthat a governmental department hasthe right to select the material thatit uses.The feeling that the ban was avirtual censorship occasioned someof the signatures. Since the book¬let was ordered and paid for by theGeneral Education board, and sincethat group holds the copyright onthe material, the booklet is undercontrol. The limited edition printedbefore the ban is not available fox-distribution and no more copies willbe printed. To the students of the University:In these days when war is threat¬ened throughout the world, it is im¬portant that the students in the uni¬versities determine in their ownminds their beliefs on how to insurepeace for the country. The PeaceRoll which will be conducted by TheDaily Maroon next quarter for theLiterary Digest and Association ofCollege Editors should help to dothis. Following, for your conveni¬ence, is a list of the questions. Clipthem out, think about them over theholidays, and return prepared to castyour ballot. Results as they are tab¬ulated will be printed in The DailyMaroon.HOWARD P. HUDSON.Editor-in-ChiefThe questions in full;1. Do you believe that the UnitedStates can stay out of another greatwar?(a) If the borders of the UnitedStates were invaded, would you beararms in defense of your country?. . (b) Would you bear arms for theUnited States in the invasion of theborders of another country?2. Do you believe that a nationalpolicy of AN AMERICAN NAVYAND AIR-FORCE SECOND TONONE will insure us against the pos¬sibilities of another great war?3. Do you favor government con¬trol of armament and munition in¬dustries?4. Do you approve of the conscrip¬tion of capital in time of war, just ashas been our historic procedure indrafting man-power in time of war?5. Do you think that, in the pur¬suit of the stabilization of peace, itwould be a wise policy for the UnitedStates to enter the League of Na¬tions?Council PostponesArvey Bill DebateThe meeting of the city councilwhich was to have considered theproposed repeal of the Arvey ordin¬ance today has been postponed un¬til after the holidays. In the mean¬time, the University and all othermedical units in the city will con¬tinue ♦heir fight against the propos¬ed action by means of petition andacknowledgements from prominentbefore their legislatures.During the winter, 32 states willhave anti-vivisection bills introducedmedical investigators.

Twenty-two Major ‘C’s’Awarded by CoachShaughnessyGiving honor where honor wasdue, the Maroon football team ac¬claimed Jay Berwanger a.s its captainand leader for the 1935 season atthe annual Chicago Alumni club ban¬quet last evening at the Universityclub. During the banquet the letterawards were made by Coach ClarkD. Shaughnessy and the special hon¬ors were given out by Judge WalterSteffen on behalf of the Order of theC.Because he starred not only whenhe was carrying the ball but alsowhen it was in the arms of his team¬mates, Berwanger was further hon¬ored by being given the trophyawarded each year to the best block¬er on the team. Fullback Ewald Ny-iiuist, who has been the mainstayof the Maroon secondary defense forthe last two seasons was adjudgedthe be.st tackier, and received thesecond statuette from Judge Stef¬fen.Least AppreciatedThere are always men, especiallylinemen, that play consistently goodgames during the season, but receivevery little recognition for their prow¬ess. Such a player was Sara White-side, 200 pound guard who becamethe proud possessor of the C-men’sawai’d to the man “most valuable tohis team that has received the leastrecognition.” Captain Ell Pattersonwas given the trophy for being themost valuable man to the team.Twenty-two major letters and fiveOld English “C’s” were given out tothe membex's of the squad. Receiver."!of the major “C” were: Whiteside,Tom Flinn, Merritt Bush, Patterson,Rainwater Wells, Nyquist, Berwan¬ger, Clarence Wright, John Baker,Prescott Jordan, Bob Perretz, JohnWomer.Gordon Peterson, Bartlett Peter¬son, Ralph Balfanz, Warren Skon-ing, Earl Sappington, Ned Bartlett,Bart Smith, Ed Cullen, Bill Langley,and Keith Hatter complete the list.Minor LettersTho.se who received the minor let¬ter awards were Jack Scruby, Har¬mon Meigs, Adolph Scheussler, BillRunyan, and Harry Nacey.

Gillerlain,Whittier, Shipway, Jones, Whitney,Marynowski, Wolfenson, LeFevre,Thompson, Cutter, Kelley, Bo.swox-th,Webster, Channon, Kellogg, ahd Lin¬dahl.Inaugurating a new custom thisyear the Alumni club gave a silverloving cup to the fraternity havingthe most members in attendance atI the banquet. This trophy was pre-1 sented to Phi Kappa Psi who had aj representation of 30 men.I In electing Jay Berwanger to leadj them next season, the Maroons paid: tribute to their most outstanding-player. It can be truly said that Ber¬wanger was a participant in someI manner in every play of the gameI while he was on the field. On of¬fense he either carried the Ixall ox*; was the key blocker for one of theI other membex's of the backfield whilej on defense his tackling was superb.Lose Eight MenI Besides the honors he received! from the alumni and his teammates,‘ Berwanger has been chosen on everyj all-conference team and was placedon the official all-American teamI picked by the .All-America Foot-i ball board.1 Next year the Maroons will beI without the services of six seniorsi thi’ough graduation and two men be-! cause of the so-called “Minnesota”i fx-eshmen eligibility rule. Flinn, Pat-tex'son, Baker, Womei', Cullen, andI Smith will receive their degrees be¬fore next fall while Bartlett Peter-I son and Langley are affected by theBig Ten ruling.A further announcement of in¬terest was made when Harry Swan¬son of the LaSalle street coachingstaff informed the assembled throngthat the Maroons will engage Ne¬braska in an early .season contestnext year.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON.

SSrdDREXELFriday—“Ready for Love”Richard ArlenSaturday—“Gridiron Flash"Eddie QuillanSun.-Mon.—“Against the Law’John Mac BrownThe Travelling BazaarBy RABELAISFriday, December 14ON TO WASHINGTONThe number of students and faculty memberssigning the Ogburn petition in the face of the dif¬ficulties of reaching everyone shows the interestof the University in adjusting an obvious en¬croachment on the right of freedom of opinion.Students and faculty members, as they becamemore and more acquainted with the case, ralliedto the support of Professor Ogburn, both indi¬vidually and in groups.There were several unusual reactions to thepetition which might be of general interest. Firstof all. it was not the radical groups on campusthat took the lead in protesting this action of theCCC administration. These groups, usually eagerto protest upon the slightest provocation, re¬mained quiet, perhaps because they were irked atnot starting the campaign themselves. Whateverthe reason, it was not until The Daily Maroon ap¬proached them and gave them a special invitationto join, that they signed. Evidently they realizedBefore it was too late that they could not refuseto sign and still term themselves champions offree speech and enemies of suppression.On the other hand fraternities and clubs, whichare not supposed to even think about such prob¬lems as censorship, turned in the signatures of alarge percent of their membership.But the queerest reaction was among the fac¬ulty. Many of them, even in the Social Sciences,Professor Ogbum’s division, knew nothing aboutthe case! That a large number of educated menand women could remain ignorant so long abouta situation so close to them is certainly no creditto them. And yet these same people who remainso blissfully wrapped up in their own thoughtsmay soon be undergoing the same experience withsome work of their own.These, then, are significant facts brought tolight by the petition. Now that it has been signed,what is to be done? The original petition will besent to Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes, andcopies will be given to President Roosevelt, Rob¬ert Fechner, director of the CCC who banned thepamphlet in question, and the Commissioner ofEducation.The results of the petition are to be releasedto the press for nation-wide distribution. It ishoped in this way to make the case a nationalissue, to interest other schools and liberal organ¬izations in fighting the ban until it is lifted.The Daily Maroon has no illusions that ourpetition will make the authorities in Washingtonbow down and surrender. But we are optimisticenough to believe that our efforts will serve asan opening gun in the battle against governmentsuppression.—H. P. H.

Dobielatest story is wound around,strikeR in San Francisco at the turnof the century. It is the same localethat Dobie has depicted beforehis novels. Besides his pictures ofSan Francisco and in spite of thebook’s title, Dobie has portrayedquite minutely a young man who hasinherited too much of a father’s lax¬ity and romantic nature ever reallyto adapt himself to a practical lifeYet he i.s not unreal, nor is thecourtezan herself, who despite herloose character, has some admirablequalities.In fact, the book itself is very reala fact which may cause somethingof a defect. Its reality is heighten¬ed by the photographic detail whichslows up the movement of the story TheOperasof Puccini The Making of AmericanstheMAN WITH A BULL-TONGUEPLOWBy Je»»e Stuart(E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc.)We’re accustomed to hearing thecomment that something is ‘‘trulyAmerican.” Honestly I don’t exactlyknow just what is meant by that expre.ssion, but I feel that there issomething about ‘‘Man with a BullTongue Plow” that might well ratethat description. It’s not the form,though the combination of sonnetsand slight variations of the sonnetform has a pleasing form.Rather it is the subject matterand the matter-of-fact nature of theAmerican farmer that merits the de-•scription ‘‘truly American”—Stuarthas caught the rustic atmosphereof his native Kentucky hillsand has depicted it in a simpleclear style suggestive of RobertBurns. Like Burns he has drawnsome very clear and vivid portraitsof rustic characters, putting opposingtypes in juxtaposition in such a waythat each character is intensified.And in the midst of descriptionsof persons or places there are littlebits of action all of which blend inpleasing harmony. In just five linesone sees vivid action:"The constable came snooping to thestill;The shiner heard his hands a-break-ing limbsTo make his path through bushes upthe hill—He got his rifle took a crack at him—He went on working at his moonshinestill.”All in all it is rather excellent poel-ly with beauty and force in its sim¬plicity; and above all it is readableand enjoyable."The wind i.s lazy here—the wind isfree.It blows the cotton from th* milk¬weed stems.I’hc wind is lonesome here—one lovesto beHut wandering by a lazy meadowstream.Sweet summer hare with bud andbloom and breezeAnd tall bronze men beneath wind-laps of grain—Sweet summer here with windamong the trees.With wind among the flowers andhoney bees—•Among the flower?—beneath thestars above.With flowers and moonlight on theleafy trees—Plays with the ferns and trees andclouds aboveAnd summer fields that I havelearned to love.”CREATIVE SCEPTICS.By T. V. Smith.(Willet, Clark)Added to his recent success inpolitics, this new book of ProfessorSmith shows us that the man haswinning ways. On the first pagehe wins the' reader to the side ofphilosophy; and after he has shownyou simply and clearly that you area philosopher you go through anequally clear account of some out- ! By VINCENT LYNCHIt is significant that such a definite type of opera as that represented in the works of Puccini is so universally popular. We are informedfor example, by the program of theChicago Grand Opera Company thata recent poll of a rather limitedgroup of opera-goers showed LaBoheme in greater favor than Aidaand Carmen, with Madame Butterfly fourth.One explanation of this fact isdoubtless the careful blending ofboth modern and traditional elements in Puccini’s operas. They havea directness and clarity of plot andmusic that we are accustomed to as¬sociate w’ith recent developments inmusic and the arts in general. Onthe other hand, they contain none ofthe dissonance or harshness whichhas made the appeal of the modernschool rather limited to date. Puccini has shown that the melodic prin¬ciples of the old school are not in¬compatible with modern ideas andmodern tempo.Choice of SubjectsThe composer was wise in hischoice of subjects, at least in hisbetter known works; Tosca and Ma¬dame Butterfly had won consider¬able acclaim on the stage not longbefore Puccini composed his operas.It is not unusual for a composer ofopera to choose a successful rtmmafor his libretto, but it is worthy ofnote that Puccini accomplisned whatfew others have (lone: he built upthe .score in such a way as to allowthe book full opportunity to impressthe audience with all its dramaticpower. The action, with all its in¬terplay of emotion, although moresubtle than the older opera had at¬tempted, is nevertheless clear and di¬rect at all times. It can be said ofPuccini that his operas exhibit few¬er dull moments than the works ofany other composer. He had a stagesense* that few musicians possess.Melodic QualitiesThe melodic qualities of his operasbelong to the tradition of the oldItalian opera, but they have beenradically transformed. Puccini hascut away much of what was superfl¬uous and inane, and has still re¬tained the fundamental beauty of akind of music that is eminently suit¬ed to the opera as we know it. Thereare fewer arias which stand out fromthe main current of music than inthe older opera, and the arias thatwe often hear suffer greatly thewrenching away from their propersetting. But Puccini has given moreattention to the background of theaction and the under-current, as itwere, of the emotion being portray¬ed by the characters in his drama.It is this musical setting togetherwith a real drama that distinguisheshim from the older composers, a set¬ting in which themes are formulat¬ed and carefully repeated and inter¬woven into a beautiful and harmoni¬ous whole. Yet Puccini cannot becla.ssed with Wagner as a composerof music dramas. He shows the in¬fluence of the Wagnerian ideal, buthe is essentially a composer of opera.That is possibly the chief reason forhis greater popularity.standing sceptics in the realm ofphilosophic thought.The book is not intended “to givea .systematic or even adequate ac¬count of scepticism,” but “to illus¬trate typical cases of doubt with em¬phasis upon their creative aspects.”Paradoxical as the title may sound,the author does show exactly howphilosophers have created somethingfrom just the fact of doubting: Des¬cartes created a self and God; Spin¬oza created spiritual peace; Hume,honesty; Schopenhauer, sympathy;Montague, courage and enthusiasm;and Holmes, democracy.I can’t hope to give even an ex¬ample of the ways in which thesegreat minds have created somethingfrom doubt. But why should I whenthe book does it with the utmostskill and in such terms that all willnot only understand, but be very in¬terested.Descartes is taken as a startingpoint, being considered as he gener¬ally is,‘the “father of modern phil¬osophy.” Yet Professor Smith pointsout examples of scepticism found inancient philosophy, especially amongthe Stoics. By Gertrude Stein(Random Houce.)Do you enjoy the Pasacaglia andFugue in C Minor, The Rape of theLock, and your grandma’s remarkson the new neigh’oors? You can findcomparable pleasures in this ponder¬ous and seldom read novel if you willonly forget what other people sayabout Steinianism and find out foryourself whether she is a freak or aGreat Event in English Literature.Stein has recently emerged froman Eyptian darkness of notorious se¬curity to a blaze of ballyhoo (she’seven a subject of U. of C. bull ses¬sions) but everybody prefers theoriesabout her to reading her works. Nowthe most prominent of these theoriesare 1. her books are just the subcon¬scious getting loose and thereforetotally obscure to all but psychologymajors. 2. she doesn’t really mean it.3. she’s probably a Fascist uprising.No refutation of the first twocharges could be clearer than Makingof Americans. It is the story of twofamilies who emigrate from Eu¬rope, settle in the United States, andgradually come to be Americans, toldas simply and as naturally as canbe done in the most honest English.It is not a .satire, although it showsan almost Popian sense of the wittyclenching of a period, nor is it aproblem, stream-of-con.science, norepical novel. Always it is sound,masterly narrative quite free fromaffectation or the “exilianism” ofmost Parisian-American artists. Itis not obscure, it is both wise andwitty, and it is healthily objective inits methods.Perhaps it might be asked, “Thenif Stein’s work is so normal andBy WINSTON N. ASHLEYI everything, why do people say theyI can’t understand it?” The answer tothis is that they do only they don’tknow it. They read a sentence, it’sfunny, they laugh, and then withgraduate-student ingratitude they re¬fuse to give Gertrude the credit forhaving with exquisite craftsmanshipfashioned a witty and quite delight¬ful style. “My sentences get undertheir skin,” she has said, and so theydo, but we refuse her the credit, asif we should blame Katherine Cornellfor making us cry for the woes ofLucrece. Stein delights in thetrite pomposity suddenly made sim¬ple, and in two dullnesses juxtaposedto make a brightness. She is funny,give her credit for it.In the case of the present workonly one feature of her style is dis¬concerting to the chance reader.This is her perpetual use of “repeti¬tions,” pages and pages of the samethought developing slowly. But ifyou like Bach’s fugues you will un¬derstand the matter without explan¬ation.If you decide to read Making ofAmericans one of these week ends(and the popular Random Houseedition is a shorted version of thegrand original) remember threethings, and you will find it one ofthe mo.st important of your readingadventures:1. The author always says exact¬ly and simply just what she means(“A rose is a rose is a rose”).2. The author is a poetess and the.sound, rhythm, and pattern of hersentences is of fundamental importance, best perceived when readaloud.3. The author loves simple grand¬motherly wisdom and a good joke. The Low Stateof Literaturein America Local Literati—By MARTIN GARDNER—KEEPING UP WITH THEOTHER FELLOWSEvery once in aare tempted to become trite andblubber forth with: “It’s a smallworld after all!” Such was our feel¬ing the other day as we scanned apetition that had just come in forHelen de Werthern as The MostBeautiful Girl on the campus. Ifthat contest accomplished no othergreat purpose it did at least presentthe writer with the most eerie andyet plea.surable sen.sation that he hasexperienced in many a moon. For loin the middle of a long page of sig¬natures was one that somehow stoodout from the others. It was smalland meticulously careless with, how¬ever, an unmistakable stamp of in¬dividuality. “M. Bronfenbrenner.The writer’s mind strode backthrough the years, strode back to hisfreshman year in high school andreached into a little knot of studentsat a small private school in NewYork and singled one out. MartinBronfenbrenner. Surely it must bethe same person. There could be nosuch miscarriage of divine will asto inflict that abortive name of call¬ing to two persons on this world, orthe next!MartinA medium-sized, flabby person wasMartin, with bushy eyebrows and around, white little face that alongwith his hapless and .slumping pos¬ture showed woefully his need ofexercise. He sprawled all over him¬self and his very bones seemed toroll up on one another. He lookedout at the world about him from be¬hind thin, black-rimmed spectacles.He exerted little or no control overhis physical self, but he was, and is,one of the most naturally gifted in¬tellects that it has been my goodfortune to encounter.He read at the most rapid rate ofany individual that I have ever en¬countered. He could solve any puz¬zle or mathematical problem almostinstantly upon its presentation. Hesat, or should I perhaps say drooped,in class and read books supposed¬ly way beyond his years and yetcould answer any questions on thelecture or on the book at any time.He was a devil too. He delightedin torturing people by playing prankson them. They were fiendishlyclever, too, but infantile in intent.They were, perhaps, aside from hisappearance, the only possible waythat an outsider could possibly de¬termine his age. He was the bestread person in the school and histeachers exerted great caution inavoiding references with which theywere not entirely familiar. For Mar-By CHARLES TYROLER IIgreat while we tin would catch them if they did. Butwith all his eccentricities, Martin hadthe respect of the entire class. Theylaughed at him and joshed him, butthey feared his serious word and*they respected his intellect. Theyremembered at odd times that hisfather was the first assistant of thegreat martyr to science, Noguchi.The man that Gustav Eckstein hasimmortalized in his prize-winningbiography before time and t^e ad¬justment of true values had theirchance at the immortal Jap, a manas assured of scientific immortalityas Louis Pasteur, but a man whom I,at least, find a much more engagingpersonality. Mr. Bronfenbrenner Sr.,was, and is, in the great tradition ofthe proponents of the scientificmethod. This was Martin's back¬ground. And what a fascinating, yetevil, one it was!His Tender MomentsBut he had his tender moments.He loved and appreciated music,toyed with the violin and had a sen¬sitiveness for poetry, although hehimself, could only write doggerel ofsomewhat questionable taste. Histender moments were engaging ones.His eyes lit up and his mouth sensi¬tively lined itself, and his fingerstwined within themselves as thoughhis whole body conducted the waveof feeling that his brain felt. I shallnever forget the time when I in¬vited him over to my house for lun¬cheon, and how the doorbell rang souncertainly several times that I de¬liberated as to whether my imagina¬tion was playing tricks on me. I gotup and walked into the hall as mymother opened the door on Martinshifting nervously from one foot toanother with one arm held mysteri¬ously behind his back. Then with apitiful attempt at a grand flourishhe swung his arm around and bash¬fully presented my mother with aprotruding bouquet of flowers.I lost track of Martin. My sopho¬more year came and he was gone. Hehad vanished with the summer andthe autumn leaves. Usually the in¬terim of the summer covers up anyabsences that may occur in the classroll in the fall. But such was notthe case with Martin. The small classof thirty missed his drifting amongstthem. They were openly grateful atnot being forced to countenance hisannoying pranks, but, secretly, theywould gladly have put up with hispetty eccentricities, in order to havehim once again in their midst. Itwas a tribute to Martin that theseyoung children should miss him.(Continued on page 5) By B. MAGEEAmerican writers are not, as hasbeen alleged, a new species of magi¬cians. Their tools are merely sharp¬er than those of their fathers. Thelatter relied chiefly upon whatevertalent they had to write intere.stingpieces to achieve places of conse¬quence in the field of letters. They,too, enjoyed diddling with the ab¬struse; they had their hawkers andtheir fences^ yet the fact remainsthat quality such as it was and isknown was paramount.But their sons are not concernedwith such village virtues as interest,color, spirit, etc., for they have attheir command that much-malignedcasus belli psychology by means ofwhich they wish to explain every¬thing and in which explanation theypresume to find evaluation. Whilethey are blundering about with out¬moded psychological principles whichthey understand oniy partially, theyapparently ignore the fact that moti¬vation and action are not to be sepa¬rated, that the over-emphasis of animmediate cause does not in anyway evaluate it, and that pre-con-ceived notions of amazing psychol¬ogical explanations do not constituteliterary gems.Sales MethodsIn addition to this weapon thewriters of today have the more in¬sidious one of modern productionand sales methods. Formerly a bookachieved great sales by reason ofsome quality, good or excessivelybad, which it possessed. But nowbooks are sold according to the samemethods that have resulted in thesame widespread use of everythingfrom mangles to snuggies; the publicis made to like what it doesn’t wantand certainly doesn’t need. Thistendency will in most cases lower themorale of the writer to the pointwhere, if he originally had any adol¬escent literary ambitions he losesthem as graciously as he can. Wint¬ers have always notoriously spent amajor part of their time checkingthe sales of their art-for-art’s sakebooks, but have -not before been sosubject to the clamours of business.The literature of today appears tobe in no way satisfactory, except,perhaps, to the eye. Stirrecl, it maybe, by the progress of the sciences,the writers set about feverishly tofind and portray something signifi¬cant. The result as often as not isa little, narrow picture of some re¬mote farm in Nebraska seen throughthe eyes of some obscure person whocannot see the farm as a farm in Ne¬braska; or any picture, intended nodoubt to be seen as a whole, butwhich is observed from some com¬pressed viewpoint, and in which uni¬versality of idea or passion or whatyou will is almost always absent.The explanation of this sctms tobe of little help in speculating as towhat literature needs to give it b^dyand form again. Heretofore, whenthe world seemed too complex therewas always something relatively sub¬stantial, say the church, to wh.ich onecould turn for a starting point. To¬day there is neither church, norschool of literature, nor state, andeven science in its reflective mo¬ments gets the jitters when it hearsthe New Physicists and their inde¬terminism. What is to be said in lit¬erature? To return to the seven¬teenth or any other century is to ad¬mit a kind of lame defeat. To goahead? Where?There is some promise, at any rate,in the new proletariat literature inso far as it appears to be staring atthe bottom and does not confuse artwith technique nor strangeness withoriginality. In last week’s New Yorker underAlexander Woollcott’s weekly Shoutsand Murmurs, appeared the follow¬ing paragraph:“ come to think of it, out atChicago University ThorntonWilder has smuggled into acourse he is giving on translat¬ed masterpieces nothing lessthan our old friend “TwelfthNight” on the slim excuse thatit is “from the Italian.” I sup¬pose the jolly old pedagogue hap¬pened to feel like talking aboutit.”In the classroom Mr. Wilder point¬ed out several of Woollcott’s errors.In the first place the Universityshould never be referred to as Chi¬cago University as this is to confuseit with a downtown school of chiro¬pody. The course is not a course on“translated masterpieces,” TwelfthNight is not “smuggled in,” nor isit presented as “from the Italian.”Mr. Woollcott “comes to think of it”in connection with a discussion onreading classics in translation, par¬ticularly Gertrude Stein’s addictionto English versions of Dumas, andthis serves admirably as an excusefor Woollcott to prolong a personal“kidding” feud with an old friend.Thornton Wilder incidentally isstill firm in his defense of GertrudeStein, even though he candidly ad¬mits his inability to decipher her lat¬est verse. Two weeks ago when thissame English class trooped down onthe I. C. to hear Pulitzer prize poetRobert Hillyer, a copy of Stein’sPortraits and Prayers was underWilder’s arm. “Like Columbus andthe egg,” he commented, “you’ll haveto admit that she at least thought ofit first.”A far literary cry from eitherMiss Stein or Mr. Wilder (althoughhe writes both poetry and prose) isDr. Ben Reitman, otherwise knownas the Billy Sunday of Chicago rad¬icalism. Sociology students will beinterested to learn that Dr. Reitmanhas just completed a novel Sisters ofthe Road which is to be published inJanuary by the J. B. Lippincott pub¬lishers of Philadelphia. Dr. Reit-man’s first book The Second OldestProfession, sold completely out of thefirst edition.Sisters of the Road is a biographyof Box Car Bertha, a woman whopasses through all the checkered ex¬periences of a hobo career and final¬ly emerges as an anarchist worker.The book is filled with glimpses ofBug House Square, Hobohemia, DillPickle and other radical clubs, queersand types of the radical and criminalworld, all hopelessly interwoven withtables, charts, outlines, and the polit¬ical and religious views of the author.Although the historicity of manytouching incidents and conversationsmay be questionable, the general pic¬ture of underworld life is probablyaccurate. Dr. Reitman, active forover twenty years as an anarchistand free love propagandist, is un¬doubtedly the best known and bestloved figure in Chicago radicalism.Skimming the LitBy LITERATUSNEW MAROONFEATURENext quarter The Daily Maroonplans to publish the literary pageregularly.

THEATERBy DAVID KUTNER“AH, WILDERNESS”at the ErlangerIn what may be called the out¬standing contribution to Chicago’srepertoire of theater productions forthe present season is George M. Co¬han in Eugene O’Neill’s first com¬edy, “Ah, Wilderness.”Cohan, the cynical yet complete¬ly capitivating humorist, playing therole of the 1906 small town editortakes but one scene to put the audi¬ence in his hypnotic spell, to makethem laugh when he laughs, and tomake them laugh when he doesn’tlaugh. And the others in the cast,far from having roles which are sounimportant as to be subordinated,play their parts with remarkable nat¬uralness and decorum.Story of Family Life“Ah, Wilderness” is the story ofepisodes from the life of a middle-class American family of 28 yearsago, the Millers. The main themedeals with the struggle of the adoles¬cent son, Dick, who painfully en¬amoured of a neighborhood girl andsatiated with the writings of theworld’s leading philosophers andlovers, goes through hell fire beforehis amourous desires are satisfied.It is the Herculean duty of NatMiller, Dick’s father, to set his err¬ing son on the right path by meansof a heart to heart talk on life andlove.Of Mr. Cohan we cannot writeenough superlatives! He is, as al¬ways, a master of wit and his sar¬donic humor fits perfectly in the roleof Nat Miller. Two scenes will re¬main in our memory for some timeto come: the first, the dining roomscene in which he, suffering fromthe effects of a Fourth of July spree,tells how he saved the life of a red-haired chum of earlier days; theother, the dilemma in which the elderMiller finds himself in trying to ex¬plain to his son the pitfalls of theopposite sex.Duke UniversitySCHOOL OF MEDICINEDurham, N.
