All The Sad Young Men. By F, Scott Fitzgerald. $2.00,
267 pp. New Y o r k : Charles Scribner's Sons,
F. Scott Fitzgerald has been one of the literary meteors
of the last six or seven years, and "All the Sad Young
Men" shows his star is still in the ascendancy, The book
pleases in itself, and compared with his previous collections
of short stories, "Flappers and Philosophers" and "Talcs of
the Jazz Age," one finds a balance and a surcuess that were
less evident before. Fitzgerald's best work, we believe, has
been done with the short story, although this judgment will
find certain criticism by those who are still impressed by his
"This Side of Paradise," "The Beautiful and Damned," and,
of course, "Gatsby."
There are nine stories in this volume, and there is not a
poor one among them. The opening tale, "The Rich Boy,"
is probably the best of the longer ones, but "Absolution" is
the book's high mark. " H o t and Cold Blood" will be remembered and "Rags Martin-Jones and the Pr-tice of
VV-les" will give you a good time. Others are "Winter
Dreams," "The Baby Party," " T h e Adjuster,
The Sensible Thing,' " and "Gretchcn's Forty Winks."

A WISER "GET WISE" PARTY
It is a welcome announcement that comes in the news of
tonight's get wise party for the freshmen.
T h e old rough-
house hazing tactics, reminiscent of high school pranks or
the childish tomfoolery of the rural and agricultural colleges, have gone by the hoard,
in their place the class of
1929 will present a program that will probably do much
more for the freshmen and for (he College than any of
the eatings of "cats" eyes," and the wallopings with sticks
of other years,
The change is made more welcome by the
guarantee of its permanence that is suggested by the placing by Myskauia of the new plan among the interclass
rivalry contests.
With all necessary consideration for Ihe wishes of those
who would banish common sense for a night every year
and convert the get wise party in a glorified bar-ruoni fight,
there can be little to find fault with in the new arrangements.
Freshman and sophomore men will meet together,
not exactly as bosom friends, but without text books in the
trouser seats of (he yearling group and hickory paddles in
the hands of the sophomores.
Freshmen girls will carry
away from the meeting an acquaintance with the honored
tradilions of the College, not the memory of a fall down
stairs to a place where all the unpleasant features of the
Mid-City "nut college" are reproduced,
It is better to teach a freshman his alma mater than to
teach him which sophomore can swing a paddle hardest.
It is better that sophomores meet freshmen as rivals, but
not as enemies, than to have the entering class imbued with
a spirit to "get even" sometime with the sophomores.
Freshmen will have all the chance they need to come back
at the sophomores in the events of the year's rivalry contest. They need not wait until next year to "take it out
on" the class which follows them.
Myskania has done wisely in putting an end to the old
"rah, r a h " type of performance. It is another step in the
College's maturing process.
PROFESSOR ROCKS TRUE TEACHER
News of the death of Howard C. Rocks, professor of
education in the summer session faculty, comes as a shock
to his legion of friends in the College faculty and student
body. Few teachers, even in many years, are able to make
themselves so well loved by those who study under them
as Professor Rocks could in a short six weeks. He was
still a young man, and he was about to enter upon a more
responsible position this fall, one earned by his successful
work, as professor of education at Culver-Stockton college, Canton, Mo.
He studied for the ministry, and those who knew him
cannot doubt that had he followed that profession his success there would have been equal to that which he attained
as a teacher. Both as teacher and as man he has left a lasting impression upon those who knew him here and elsewhere, l i e was first of all a good teacher, painstaking,
kindly, helpful. Hut more than that he was, outside the
lecture room, a companion and friend to his students, H e
possessed rare powers in making friendships. His widow
has the deep sympathy of the College faculty and of the
undergraduate body.
Richard Kane Looks at Life.
By Erwin Edmaii, $2.50.
317 pp. New York: Houghton Miflin Co.
The Richard Kane of this book, Professor Edman tells
us, is a type of "that sensitive American youth which is
trying to find for itself an order out of temporary chaos,
and an inner peace for its own troubled spirit." Richard
Kancs, he says, he has met all over, "dozens of them on the
campus where I teach (Columbia university), many of
litem only recently away from a campus, on their way to or
from Europe. . . ."
Mr. Edmatt has succeeded far beyond the average in giving to his Richard Kane a reality of being, Having made
Ibis imaginary individual flesh and blood to us, he has followed him through college, to Europe, as he settles down,
as he considers morals. Richard Kane reads the news, he
"takes slock of marriage," he "ponders education," "looks
at art," "turns to politics," and finally "hunts for God."
One who can write of young manhood and womanhood
as Mr. Edman does, must be a rare person indeed. There
is no superficiality about this book; it goes to the heart of
things. Yet it is more than merely readable; it hold one's
interest like a novel, better than many a novel we could
name.
Tlte Understanding
Heart.
By Peter li. Kyne. lllustrated. $2.00. 374 pp. New Y o r k : Cosmopolitan.
Monica Dale, the lone girl on Bogus lookout, possesses
the understanding heart when the story starts, and Tony
Garfield has taken it from her when it ends. In between
comes a typically P e t e r ' B . Kyne story with romance and
adventure in the wide spaces of the west, and a thrilling
forest fire. There are good men and bad men, all of whose
ace units are finally settled according to their deserts. If
you like its sort of story, you will find "The Understanding
Heart" better than many of its kind. Of course, if you
don't tike the Kyne school of fiction, this is no book for
you. " T h e Understanding H e a r t " has probably been written with at least one eye on the movies, for it lacks none
of the elements of the typical motion picture. If you arc
logically minded, you may have trouble in swallowing some
of the coincidences and accidental happenings which rush
together Inward the close of the book to make it "come out
right." But if these things do not bother you, you will find
this a rattling good talc,

In bungalow or mansion, workshop or factory,

poor illumination. We have cheaper and better
lighting in the electric lamp than ever before; for
the dollar that bought 1,115 candlepower-hours of
light with the carbon-filament lamps of 1886,
now buys 16,200 candlepower-hours of light with
the MAZDA lamps.
Not only more light, but correctly applied light, is
the order of the day. The electric lamp, with its
flameless yet highly concentrated light source,
lends itself ideally to reflectors, shades, and screens.
It is controlled! light—safe light. And illumination becomes an exact science.
During college days and in after life, correct lighting must ever be of paramount importance to the
college man and woman. Good lighting is the
worthy handmaiden of culture and progress.
