Kill shortly the joke grew monotonous and the j .catchers resorted to ice instead of snow and aimed their missiles lircctly at the speakers instead of above and below. The result was a cut, which might easily have resulted j n blindness, over the eye of one initiate and the painful though inconsequential in jiffy to otlyws.

America Is Taking Another Step Towards War On I In- floor of the United States Senate in the Capitol it Washington the eruiser hill is gaining strength. A courageous ninority of opposition statesmen now realize that this hill pro riding for 1!> new naval cruisers and one, airplane carrier ang nenting American national defense will hi' passed—probably next week. It is .just another demonstration of the peculiarly aloof American foreign policy which has characterized every adminis tration since Wilson’s. b’atifieation of the Kellogg Peace Pact by our august body of Senators on .January lf> was an die gesture, a strange interlude after turning down the League if Nations’ Covenant. One more straw like the cruiser hill may ultimately break the cornel's hark. Kor the measure means more armaments in an age when ■nlightcned international opinion opjmses it. The United ■states, already disliked as ‘‘Uncle Shyloek" by many Lurn peons, is taking an ominous, unnecessarily warlike step which portends to threaten the peace of the world. Why must the navy be increased? To provide adequate defense of our foreign trade, is the usual answer. In reality the administration is afraid that our naval strength could not, iinaugmented. successfully compete with the British fleet in time of war. Such conflict is improbable but decidedly not unt hinkable. Obviously our country is pursuing a policy of competitive armaments in the name of “protection" to foreign trade. ‘Protection" in other matters has not materially fostered friendly foreign relations. The world wants peace, cries for it; but will there ever be peace when leading nations of the world pursue such diabolical policies? The present crosier bill is an unmistakable gesture of com mercialism and imperialism. Significant l> .

The only sure way to wipe “enemies is to wipe out “enmities." To pass the cruiser will do neither.

The ruthless snowballing of the | initiates of a worthy professional j honorary yesterday on the library I steps was, Oh, so much funnier, so j much more humorous, so much more I entertaining, so much more gentle-j manly than any demonstration the I embryo journalists of Sigma Delta Chi could give. Of course the courteous, apprecia tive, courageous and noble specimens of humanity who profess to be col lege trained men were only a little bit unrestrained when one of their ice packed projectiles of snow hit a boy in the eye. Happily the eye was only quite painfully cut. It might have resulted in blindness, feel those who threw. How could they be expected to regret, anyway, that the boy with the hurt eye was! a star forward on the varsity has-! ketball team, and might be kept out of the crucial game with the State college this week end. The law of the pack, the spirit of the mob, the voice of the herd still rule in overyday life of the “highest” so-called society. If such is the quality of judgment and discretion that, higher education inculcates in a man, then it is time to actually go all the infinitesimally short way “back to barbarism.” W. E. H., Jr. To the Editor: 1 wish to use the Emerald news columns to extend congratulations. This year's gold wreath for the prize boner goes to the gent who hurled the final snowball in the li brary steps fiasco yesterday morn ing. The snowball was a good one, well aimed and full of good intentions. The work it did was also good. It hit the mainspring of the Oregon basketball team beneath the eye and gave him a blaek eye, all of which will not help much when Oregon clashes with O. 8. C. at Corvallis to morrow night.

The accommodations for training were very bad. The only track avail able in Amsterdam, was called the “experiment track,” because it was surfaced with a new kind of ma terial which was being considered for usi' on the main track. ‘‘The experiment was a failure,” Hill said, “and we had to take the sprinters to a place 40 miles awav.” Another thing that put the Amer icans, who were no longer in shape for any great amount of competition after the strenuous tryouts at Bos ton, in poor condition was that lie cause there were 17 nations entered in the meet, as many as a dozen 'preliminary trials wore necessary in irach event. Americans did better in these preliminaries than any one else did iu the finals.

June 1, 1927 Gentlemen: About five years ago, after trying out many different styles of pipes from the Missouri meerschaum to the genuine meerschaum, including the upside-down style made popular by Vice-President Dawes, and experi menting with just about all the to baccos then on the market, except, Edgeworth, I finally decided thatpipe smoking was not for me. For the last year or so I noticed t he boys around the office here using Edgeworth to the exclusion of all other tobaccos and evidently getting real pleasure from their pipes. In April of this year I was tn C anada on a business trip and decided to take another whirl at pipe-smoking. So 1 invested a good share of my sayings in a pipe and a few cents additional for a can of Edgeworth. From then on I have been figura tively kicking myself around the .block about once each day when I think of the five lean years I put in trying to get along without a pipe. However, I am trying to make up for lost time and am succeeding quite well. Why I failed to try Edgew'orth long ago will have to go down in history as an unsolved question. But now that I have found it, the years ahead look rosy to me.
