A Brief Synopsis. A brief synopsis of the opera, which deals with a phase of the present* re- volution in Mexico, follows: Captain Henry Hull, a retired aea captain, and a widower with an only daughter, had been engaged in his youth, to a young Mexican girl who deserted him on the ere of their In- tended .wedding. At this time ho was part owner of a small island oft the north coast of Mexico. He subsequent- ly married an American, but at her death decided to give up the aea, when word comes that gold has been die- covered on his property. , He secretly plana a cruise to Mexico to look after his holding!, and. since he has always toad a leaning in that direction, to see if he can learn the fate of his old sweetheart of twenty or more years ago. ,' Salle on a Yacht, ile sails on a yacht from lower Cali- fornia, ostensibly on a pleasure^cmlse, accompanied by a number of young friends. The first act discloses tne party on deck enjoying the outing*, but complications arise until finally they fail into the hands of Mexican ban- ditti and the captain's daughter. Rose, is captured and held as hostage. â-  The second act discovers a brigand's camp on the island of Coronados. Rose is held as a prisoner, and after a aer- ies of adventures is finally rescued by her friends with the assistance of marines from a United State cruiser in the vicinity. The action is spirited and opportunities abound for drama- tic effect The cast will be announced at an early date but the requirements are exactJy both vocally and dramatically and the ways and means committee of the'club has succeeded in obtaining one of the best singing and acting casts seen in Evanston. NEW SYSTEM IN FOftfcfc 1 * Ordinances. The "rushing season" at Northwest- ern university is now part, of thi tra- dition of the institution. Henceforth, the season will be so prolonged as to lose its identity as such. With the passage of 'the .pan-eM- lenic constitution at Northwestern yesterday no co-ed can become a member of any of the thirteen sororities until she has been In col- lege a year. Then she must have passed practically all of her work,., The new rules mean an end to in* numerable "morning after1* head- aches, to the established period of "flunks" tor girls, and to the general turmoil that always has gone with the season which formerly was of several weeks' duration. Strain Too Great. It is said the strain on deans, In- structors, alumnae members 'â-  of sororities and freshmen haa been too great, and that the new system had to come. At first many of the soror- ities objected on the ground that the freshmen were necessary to help pay the house expenses. According to the new rules there will be monthly meetings of the Pan- Hellenic delegates, and the absence of any of them means a fine of 25 cents. Among the things that are considered "rushing" are: Failure to check any attempt on the part of a freshman to interest her self in sorority matters. Any attempt to arouse or encour- age interest in sorority matters on the part of freshmen. Any attempt on the part of an in dividual or group to monopolise the time of a freshman.

"We have six regiments of cavalry, one and one-half regiments of infantry and some field artillery down there now, hut they are merely for the purpose of enforcing neutrality and relieving the fears of Americana living near the border." Apropos of aviation, he challenged the idea that France is ahead of this country, saying: "France has an army of 1,000.00$. We have an army of about 100,000. By comparison.the number of aviators ac- tually in our army is quite commen- surate with the number in the French army. "Should conditions render It neces- sary to utilise more aeroplanes, we would immediately call upon those in civil life,, and would; I believe, find plenty who weald be ready to servo their country in, that way " Section It is as follows: be unlawful lor any person a motor vehicle or motorcycle along any. street or public place to,^ejtjp|ig? upon which street or publte pj^iesSf street cars are operated, to dtfveenob^ vehicle or motorcycle alongside of, slips street car, or to pass or attempt to ^ pass any .suck street est while .ifislli same is stopped at *ny street section."
