As We Like It

ST. JAMES

An amusing show well acted is "TheLittle Spitfire," playing at the St.James this week. True, there are agreat many banalities and stock"gags" scattered through it, and itdoes drag a little at first, ,through along exposition; but when it does get·'started it is lively, witty, and fairlyrapid-moving.

The slowness at the beginning isprobably due as much to the methodof presenting the play as to the author.As usual, Miss Speare spouts herlines instead of acting during the firstscene, as if she were anxious to saythem before she forgot them.

A chorus girl with a temper marry-ing into a wealthy family is the excusefor the title. Ruth- Shepley makes acharming Gypsy, .although almost toosweet for a "spitfire." Walter Gilbert,as her husband, is his usual self-nofurther praise is' needed. KathleenWallace does extremely well in a partunusual for her, that of a sarcastic so-ciety parasite.

'"The Little Spitfire" is by nomeans a literary masterpiece. But-forgood, clean humor it is above the av-erage, and well up to the standardthe St. James company has been set-ting for itself this year.

Co-eds Will Be Barred FromNext Year's Cruise---Not

Practical

On May 3, the S. S. Ryndam, thefloating college, glided into a narrowstrip of New York harbor to the tuneof "Bright College Years" played bya Hoboken band. Hundreds of par-ents crowded the dock to welcomethe students that had traveled andstudied on the 35,000 mile globe-en-circling tour, which left the same portlast September.

A small army of customs officialswas on hand to examine the studentsand they found it no easy job. Eachstudent came home laden' with allsorts of souvenirs and trophies, fromall over the world, ranging from Egyp-tian Lizards to Siamese Turties. Onestudent had collected 9,000 coins.One of the exploring reporters dis-covered that "enough exotic junk onthe floors of the staterooms to equipa small museum.

Trip A Success"An immense success" was the

verdict of Dr. James E. Lough, actinghead of the university. He reportedthat the trip had taugh a great deal:"We learned that co-education is in-advisable for such a trip. We had nosex difficulties, but the presence ofwomen makes the trip problems morecomplex, especially in Arranging ac-commodations for the excursion. Thenext cruise will be held for menonly." '

Co-education on the high seas isimpractical according to Henry Allen,a faculty member of the American"floating university" aboard the Ryn-dam.

Students Shock JapeneseWhen a number of women students

deserted their books and sneaked onshore in Tokio with men students,quite a furore was created among theinhabitants of that city who werethoroughly shocked at the freedomwhich the students displayed.I Satisfactory international student"contacts are impossible the professorstates, since many of the countriesvisited do not use the co-educationalsystem, and the presence of womenconfuse the educators. The cruisewould have been more effectural ifthe original plan of having only menstudents had been adhered to.

Shopping lists for bargain huntersin the field of education has been fur-nished recently by the appointmentsoffice of Columbia University, accord-ing to The Pcn.~ylvaniian. It'has beenfound by these investigators that stu-dents spend more for laundry thanfor books.

Dentistry costs more than any othereducational product of the campus.Bfisiness and journalism total to aboutthe same, although they are cheaperthan optometry, which - is"' in turncheaper than medicine. A real bar-gain would seem to be law, which canbe had for $288 less than dentistry.

An average cost of the different pro-fessions .are. asfollows: Dentistry$1558; Medicine, $1526; optometry,$1390; engineering and. chemistry,$1370; regular liberal arts education,$1350; journalism and business $1310;and law $1270.

ROAD END, by Woods Morrison. G.P. Putnam's Sons, New York. 350Pages.

Exciting mixtures of crime, adven.ture, mystery and romance color thepages of Woods Morrison's latest nov.el, "Road End." Although the authorhas been one of the leading movie ac-tors of the country, he has succeededin writing in a convincing style whichis not too reminiscent of a movie scen-ario.

Jobless and with one dollar to hisname, a young man decides under theinfluence of spring and an amusingsense of humor to take a taxi andride as far as his finances will allow.Before his ride is done the taxi inwhich he is riding -collides with an-other taxi containing an attractiveyoung lady, a perturbed and nervousaunt, and a queerly shaped box. Whenthey have left he finds a paper witha marked want-ad for a chauffeur intheir car.

As a result of his desire to see thegirl again and his need for a positionhe goes to Road End, Long Island, theaddress given and succeeds in obtain-ing the position through telling liesabout himself. No sooner has hearrived than the previously peacefulplace is disturbed by theft followed bymurder. Bootleggers, bandits, chorusgirls, maids, and detectives are in-volved in a mystery which seems al-most' insoluble until the end of thebook.

It is almost impossible to lose inter-est in the story once it is started. Atouch of humor here and there relievesthe tension of the mystery. Practicallyall the characters are quite possibleand true to life which is quite unusualfor a mystery novel, especially one bya person connected with the movingpictures. For those who desire a rap-idly-moving mystery story we recom-mend this book.

STATE

"Slide Kelly Slide" with WilliamHaines and Sally O'Neil is this week'sfeature at Loew's State Theater. Thepicture is dedicated to the great Amer-ican outdoor sport, baseball.

The picture is enjoyable because wehave the peculiar situation that thevillain is also the hero;' his actionsw-ould not be humorous, but becausehe is swell-headed in an unconsciousmanner, the audience can't help buttake it all as a joke. The final touchof the good production is the fine com-)ination of comedy and pathos in theexact proportions. William Haines isthe big ball player from the West, heknows that he is good and he actuallyis a good player, he carries the grand-stand and finally thinks he is thewhole team. Sally O'Neil is there tomake the love scenes and Junior Cogh-lan, the mascot of the team, to supplythe pathos.

To add variety to the program, Mr.and Mrs.-Murray give several daintydance numbers and Tommy Chris-tian's Orchestra gives an entertainingprogram.

Rather than listen to much more ofthe perpetual crabbing about - the In-stitute's being a Co-educational schoolwith nary a Co-ed, the Lounger is go-ing to publish a few suggestions as -tothe proper methods of remedying.sucha pitiable situation. Once :again heis indebted to the Teechnology archi-tects for the bit of inspiration -theygave him and for the -test case thatwill back up any statements. that'mayfollow. '

The Lounger was roused one recentevening from the midst of his slum-bers over a damnable 'mess of heatproblems, drawn into the irresistibleti-de of seething humanity (he readit someplace), and carried- by themob down to the immediate vicinityof Mass Station, where he saw one ofthe tamest fires Back Bay has everwitnessed. Tame, perhaps, but oh sosuccessful.

But where's the connection with theRogers' archies? Of course theLounger wouldn't make any rash state-ments that could in any way bringdiscredit to his reputation, but the factremains that within no time at all oldRogers was flooded with all that couldbe desired in the way of Co-eds-alllife studies from the Burned ArtsSchool on Newbury Street. Said lifestudies cannot be spoken to by any ofthe architects, but who wants to talkin a case like that? It is enough thatattendance has easily doubled at anyof the lectures where the Co-eds-by-circumstance may be found. TheLounger repeats that as fire-bugs theinmates of Rogers show superb fore-sight.

Now what could be more childishand unnecessary than further crab.bing by the less ingenious engineersover on this side? What with thepresent state of perfection of ' thenever-failing- cigarette lighter and:'theproximity of Simmons and Emerson-

THIS afternoon's baseball contest marks the revival of anearlier attempted contest with Technology Engineering f

News and we, as representatives of Volume XLVII of THE I

TECH, hope that the game will be established as a custom in ifuture years. In the fall of the year the inter-publication foot- .ball games serve to liven up interest through competition and l

we are of the opinion that these games do accomplish their .purpose. Last year the THE TECH-Technique football game X

did improve mutual spirit to an additional degree and it also tattracted considerable undergraduate interest. tIt was with the idea of stirring up extra spring enthusiasm 1that THE TECH offered its challenge to T. E. N. and was sub- Esequently accepted. The game, which will be played this tafternoon, will determine the sport supremacy of the two k

teams, but we also hope that it will in some measure serve to iliven up the cinder campus between the Main Buildings and K

Walker. Undoubtedly the game will bring to light certain of nour number who have abilities quite comparable to those of 1such men as "Babe" Ruth, "Christy" Mathewson, "Ty" Cobb, t

or Rogers Hornsby. Then again it may disclose the fact that athere is another group (probably a larger one) who will look cand act like a number of schoolgirls playing catch with croquet t

balls. EUndoubtedly THE TECH will win the contest this afternoon,

but we hope that T. E. N. will put up enough of a fight so thatthe game will be worth reviving next year and in years to come.If our opponents, the scientific linguists, get discouraged tooearly over their overwhelming opposition, the affair will losemost of its interest. We sincerely hope that T. E. N. is wellequipped with good runners so that game will not-be delayedby their fielders retrieving home runs. On behalf of both pub-lications THE TECH extends this invitation to any and all ofthe undergraduate body to attend the game this afternoon at3 o'clock. Several star players are included in THE TECHline-up. t

TWO STUDENT LEGISLATIVE BODIES

TITUDENT governments have come to be a greater factor incollege life of recent years than they ever'have-been'before.

As a result various colleges are attempting to make the under-graduate governments more representative of the studentsthan: heretofore. Williams is probably the first, however, to fpattern- after the national government by having two legisla-tive bodies. The old Student Council which is chosen by theclasses is not to be discarded but merely supplemented by anAll-Campus Committee.

At Williams where practically everybody lives on or nearthe campus, fraternity unity has almost entirely replaced classunity. It is felt therefore that a representative body should'represent the fraternities and the groups outside the fraterni-ties. Hence the new body has representatives from eachfraternity, the Commons Club, and four or five from the neutralbody outside of those clubs. In view of the campus conditionsit is considered that this body will be more indicative of stud-ent opinion and thought.

It is interesting to see that student governments and es-pecially one of the oldest student governments in the country,are being changed in form as conditions change. It is some-thing that is seldom seen elsewhere for usually forms remainlong after their use has disappeared, especially in government-al bodies. A general overhauling occasionally is as good forsuch systems as it is for a car. The change was evidentlymade at Williams because of conditions at that institution andnot because it was being done at other colleges. Most of thestudent governments which have been failures to a greater orless extent have failed because they did not conform with thespecific needs of their own institutions. In many cases theyhave been patterned after those of other colleges where con-ditions were different. For instance a system such as the newWilliams one would not be a satisfactory one here at Technol-ogy -for a very small percentage of our students live on the'campus.

Quinn, of Holy Cross, is a speedsterreported to have run the century innine and three-fifths. He will be en-tered in the hundred and two-twentyevents in Saturday's encounter, andshould provide plenty of competitionfor the Cardinal and Gray sprinters.

Another fast invader is Burns in thequarter-mile run. In spite of thewhitewash applied at Cornell in the440, the Institute quarter-milers aredetermined to show their heels toBurns and his pack. In justice to theTechnology trackmen, it should bestated that the team was confined tothe train for 23 hours on the journeyto l^thaca, and had no opportunity totake a light workout on the Cornelltrack before the meet.

Improved 'Auito Engine BeingTested .,At. Institute

Operating With but one sleeve percylinder for both intake and exhaustvalves, a new single sleeve valve mo.tor recently invented by L. A. Gaw ofCincinnati is expected to be the great-est improvement in automobile en-gines in many years if it lives up toits trial tests. The inventor arrivedat Technology last week from Cincin-nati in a car equipped with one ofthese motors which made the thousandmile run in almost record time andwith great economy of gas and oil.

A second engine which l he broughtwith him is now in the Auto EngineLa'boratory undergoing dynamometertests. When these have been com-pleted and the gas and oil consump-tion and the efficienty of the new en-gine have been determined, it will beready to be placed on the market.

Extreme simplicity is the fundamen-tal advantage of this motor. Insteadof having sleeves inside of sleeveswith complicated adjustments result-ing in friction, wear, and loss ofpower, this motor has but one sleeveoperated by one cam. Instead of the29 moving parts per cylinder in formersleeve valve motors, this one has onlyfour.
