ties in the international participation. There seems,
us far as we can gather, to be rather trustworthy
proof that Jews in Germany are being discouraged,
by one means or another, from preparation for and
competition in the German Olympic Team. The
| question in America is whether American athletes,
i traditional champions of sports for sport's sake,
| should give silent consent to the mixture of politics
' with sport, or whether they should withdraw from
| the Olympic competition in the name of fair play.
It is not our place here to discuss Hitlerism, for
: ideals on the other side of the Atlantic may be dif-
j ferent from those in America. We can only discuss
American ideals and ask whether they are to be
diplomatically ignored or upheld by American
withdrawal until full assurance either that races

The Bounty sails again. In "Mutiny
on the Bounty", opening Friday at
Loew's, are Clark Gable, as Fletcher
Christian, leader of the mutineers,
Charles Laughton as Bligh, the captain
who might have been great if he had
not become infamous, and Franchot
Tone as Midshipman Byam.
The story of the mutiny has long
been one of the most fascinating in
the annals of maritime history. The
Bounty set sail from England in 1787,
bound for Tahaiti. Storms lengthened
the voyage, food ran low and as
Bligh's temper increased he raged at
his underfed and embittered crew. The
golden days at. Tahaiti temporarily
quieted the men, but shortly after the
start of the return voyage, Bligh's
tyranny—-he was noted as a cruel man
in a cruel age—brought rebellion to the
breaking point. Bligh's 4,000 mile
voyage in a open boat has never since
had its equal in naval history.

Will Rogers' last picture, "In Old
Kentucky" comes to the Majestic Fri-
day, Will plays a horse trainer in the
1)1 ue grass country. In this picture, as
in all his best pictures, he gives a per-
fect characterization of himself.
Bill Robinson, famous tap dancer,
has a prominent place in the cast. He
gives several routines in his inimitable
I way.
; While Dorothy Wilson plays the
| feminine lead with charm. George Bar-

The Editor and His Job
The college editor should make a slight distinc-
tion between himself and his job. The job is im-
portant; he is not. The editorship is as responsible
a position, in its potential power to help or harm
the university, as the presidency of the university.
The,editor, unless he is a child prodigy, must
proceed thoughtfully and with due regard for the
errors of his predecessors if he is properly to fulfill
that responsibility.—The Daily Illini.

YOU have made great progress in the past 10 years.
Let's see some of the things the Bell System has been
doing in that time.
Since 1925, we've cut the average time for complet-
ing Long Distance connections from 7'/a to l'/a minutes.
We've made the service more immune to weather—94% of
our wires ore now in cable. We've
increased the telephone's scope
about 80%—you can now reach
nearly 31,000,000 telephones, in
every quarter of the globe.
The next 10 year period may
bring equally important advances.
That is one of the ever-present
thrills in telephone workl
