qualities it is in a comic opera, like

Ralph Dunbar's presentation of
Mr.. DeKoven's foremost work was
first offered, numerous musical
analysts have raised and answered
this question. They invariably re-

music, for from the first note 1t is
entrancingly beautiful, rythmic
and tuneful, and occasionally

harmony and sheer charm are
hardly surpassed in musical Iitera-

twelfth century story, with its lo-
Gale in the beautiful midland
counties of England, in Sherwood
forest, and then the number and
wide variation in the actual char
acters involved. OF the principals,
four are ladies and six are men,

athletics and one member of the
faculty.
Student Body President Rickli
appointed Mildred Strevey, Kathe-
rine LaRoute and Byron Arnold as
the committee to determine the
type of song to be used this year
in the interclass musical contest
known as Freshman Cleo This is
an annual contest testing the
ability of the class members to
write the words and music to a
song, the class to do its own di-

forensic contests shall be under
the supervision of forensic
council which shall be composed
of men, and that at least one of
these men shall have won a bar

Railroad transportation EN-
ployes even when peak wages were
paid did not receive advanced
wages in keeping with the increas-
ed living costs. The daily rate paid
transportation men was fixed fo1
all classes il the United States in
1913 and regardless of the in
creased costs of living, there were
no increased wages for these EN-
ployes until January 1, 1918, and
only then after a most searching
investigation had been made by
the Lane commission.
"The rate of a freight brake
man between Chicago and New
York was $2.67 a day, which was
referred to by the railways in
their publicity campaigns as a
princely wage. Until January 1,
1918, $S0.10 was the princely
wage some fifty odd thousand rail
way men received in what is
known as the eastern territory.
Other wages were in proportion to
the wages of the freight brake

rived last night.
Mr.. Lees statement as to the
causes of the strike follows:
"The public is rather confused
as to the causes for the railway
strike. There is belief on the
part of some that the strike is for
higher wages and is not under
stood to be demonstration
against a wage reduction to which
has been added propositions fur
ther to reduce wages and eliminate
rules which would mean still fur
ther reductions.
