school enjoyed an auditorium
program yesterday afternoon on
sculpturing. Mixing a humorous
background with her lecture on
the fine art of sculpturing, the
artist proved highly enjoyable.
The art of carving and cutting
a piece of clay into beautiful
bust takes years of study. TAX
ing as a subject girl, the sculp-
turist made a likeness from clay
in less than one hour while at
the same time lecturing on the
subject. This program was spon-
sored by the MCHS Student
council and Margot Breitmeyer
introduced the artist.

1T Is an interesting fact that of the four

the United States. Great Britain. Russia and
China-Presdent Roosevelt is the only one
who has never had any military training and
never mad any military experience.
Prime Minister Churchill was educated

officer in the wars against the SudaHese tribes,
and, after GalipQH. in World War T. went TO
the front in France where he served with

was entrusted with military command by
Lenin and served with credit In the civil wars.

Only about one-third of Detroit's voters
availed themselves of their privilege and duty
of voting. It is eminently just therefore,
that they get what they want. The other
apathetic two-thirds who failed to vote have
no kick coming.
IT HE primary demonstrated again the we'll
i established fact that, in American cleo
tons organized and purposeful mlnorities can
be more potent than the slipshod majority.
Negro voters and union labor leadership
were united in a definite opposition to the
candidacy of Mayor Jefres. They expressed
their opposition with their ballots.
More than 100000 voters, either through
lethargy or Indifference, expressed no opinion
whatever. They simply stayed away from
the voting booth
Inasmuch as the 100000 laggards COM
prise two-thirds of Detroit's qualified voters,
the primary might specifically be deemed
unrepresentative But it still remains a rep
resentative expression of the voters that took
the trouble to vote.
And organized Negro and labor minorties
and all other mnorities deserve everything
they win, so long as the majority of Detroiters
continue to stay home on election day.

A TRIBE Alliance for Peace

That is the case between Canada and the
U. S. A.
These two sovereign countries have no de-
signs on one another.
Their obligations to one another are the
obligations Of two civilized human beings whose
word is as good as his bond
Canada and the T. s. A. are united by ties
Of COMMON INTERESTS
And without bonds of common interest,
there can he no alliance worth the paper 1t is
written on
WE HAVE no interests in common with any
w continental European or Asatic power
Two wars have proved that the interests of
England and the United States are in the main,
automatically the same.
And that is true Of Canada and. in
measure, also OF our other good neighbor,
Mexico
Canada, Mexico and the United States are,
then, rational bases for all true international
alliances.
We salute our natural allies to the north
and south, Canada and Mexico.
Here there is no fear. There are RESPECT
and FRIENDSHIP.
EUROPE and Asia might well take a year or
II two of from their interminable disputes and
'pacts' after the war and study INTERNATIONAL
ism as practiced in the western world
They VIII find, we think the solution for
many prospective wars and SquabhleS in studying
those simple wOrds-COMMON HONESTY and
MUTUAL TRUST.

The Primary Election

A S SOON as the results of this weeks
"A primary became known, lot of De-
troiters, in and out of print, began to COM
plain loudly that il was not a fair test of
strength of the two leading mayoralty candi-
dates because, in view of the light vote, it was
not truly representative election.
Most of the Detroiters who INDUCED in
this type of argument had themselves
neglected to vote. They may be right when
they insist that Tuesdays primary was not
real test of strength between Mayor Jeffries
and Frank FITZGERALD.
They are sadly wrong, though in their
contention that the primary was not truly
representative turnout It WAS representa-
tive in an extremely important aspect of
election procedure.
1T WAS truly representative Of those De-
/ troiters who are sufficiently interested in
the administration of their city to get out
and vote
They were fully entitled TO express their
wishes at the polls, and their neighbors, who
were too lazy to 60 to the polling booth are
entitled to no sympathy if the voting ran
contrary to their wishes.

vestigate the strictly moral, person
ally fine standard of these service
women of ours. They are not only
carefully watched and warned
against too much freedom with their
dancing, skating, tennis-playing, hik-
ing, mOvie-going companions, but
they are inspired by training, exam
pie, good associations and the fine
and healthy and organized life they
lead to see drinking and idling sex
license in their true light.
They stand in shining contrast to
the thousands Of women who are not
working for the government, who
are not earning money, but who are
somehow supplied with plenty of it
and who are free to continue this
new degrading and dangerous habit
of public drinking, week after week
and month after month.
WYE ALL hate the idea of drafting
w our girls for the much-needed
help in factories, packing plants, in
the army and navy, and in the big
defense organizations. But if | could
approve of drafting at all it would
be of these idle, dangerous, useless
drinking women, who swarm about
in the smartest of clothes, get them
selves and every one who knows
them into trouble, and cost our police
and juvenile courts and homes of cor
rection wasted millions every year.
1t will take long, long time for
women to regain their old position Of
dignity, self-control, temperance,
when men have seen them day after
day getting flushed and silly at bars,
and reelng away into the early eve
ming without any very definite idea
as to where they are going or what is
going on at all.
If | were Rosie the riveter, or
any one of her million splendid sis
tiers at lathes and plates and turrets,
or if | were a WAVE or a WAC,
proud to wear the uniform Of my
country, | would bitterly resent the
demoralizing effect Of these girl bar
flies upon the whole war effort. |
would fear their influence upon that
better world to which we all look
forward after the war.
IT MESS our women hold tight to
- the old laws Of decency, nobody
will; it is for them to lift this coun-
try high once again, beacon to less
fortunate nations, where home
means safety for our growing boys
and girls, where marriage is sacred,
where every effort we can make
strains toward a higher and finer
standard.
1t would smack somewhat of GEES
tapo methods to have some authority
90 about among these bars at about
o'clock every night and ask each
one of the young women drinkers
exactly what she is doing to bring
about swifter victory and saner
peace. But it is this sort of moral
disintegration that invites dictatorial
remedies. We will have a great up
roar from our idle young women if
any such action takes place. But
they are doing all they can to bring
it on themselves.

The big room is filled with small
tables and padded wall seats. High
stools are ranged along the bar,
which is a sumptuous creation of
chromium and mahogany, crystal,
mirrors. Bottles from every port
are aligned behind it. The big, warm
room is softly lighted; perhaps music
drifts upon the air. The bartenders,
in spotless white, have only to wait.
Presently a few laughing girls
come in and secure seats at the bar.
They will cling to these seats for
hours. Two middle-aged women
come in and take a corner table.
Men drift in; more women; many
