M. C. A. worker with the British, last Saturday night in a lecture illustrat- ed by slides taken from his own pictures and paintings. Mr. Weston divided his talk into four main heads: Persian. brig- ands, women, marriage customs, and characteristics. The lecture was given in Taylor Hall under the auspices of the History Club. The robbers of Persia come under three categories,” said Mr. Weston, “those who take only your nice things, those who take everything and those who kill you.” In Southern Persia be- low Tieran, the brigands were so power- ful that the government gave them a subsidy to let the mail and high officials pass through unharmed. Mr. Weston showed how uncertain Marriages are in Persia since the groom never sees his bride until after the wed- ding ceremony. This difficulty is offset by the simplicity of the divorce,” he said, “which is obtained by saying ‘I divorce thee’ three times in the presence of the priest.” A woman may be divorced at the slightest provocation and has no influence on her husband at all.

Speaking of the importance of the tem- ple, Dr. Savage says that “Authorities on Indian art and architecture, like Dr. Anan- da Coomaraswamy, connected with the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and one of the foremost writers in the interest of In- dian art in English-speaking countries, de- clare that the structure is unique outside of India. It has already attracted numer- ous visitors from all parts of the East. When completely installed, it will num- ber some 64 units of finely carved stone, representative of the end of the great me- diaeval period in Indian art.

ETCHINGS BY MARY CASSATT ON VIEW IN LIBRARY Work of Noted Impressionist Artist Loaned by Mr. McVitty Prints in color and black and white by Mary Cassatt, loaned by Mr. Vitty, of Bryn Mawr, are now on view in che upper north corridor of the Library. Although an American, Miss Cassatt has lived in France for over fifty years and is usually classed among the French impres- sionists, the influence of Degas and Manet appearing in her early work. “Her best work in black and white,” says Mr. Mc- Vitty, “will stand against anything done in the art since Rembrandt. The etchings have the essential qualities of spontaneity and freedom, with great simplicity, rare beauty of lines, and a fine emotional appeal. She has expressed the Mother and Child with great insight and with poetic feeling, and without a trace of sentimentality.” A Freshman translates “Cave canum,” “Look out or I'll sing.” Sen-| Albert Mc- | WORLD PEACE AMERICA’S JOB SAYS DR. JASTROW | The Struggle Between East and West Key to Past Wars | “The eastern question is one of the old- est that has bothered mankind,” announced Dr. Morris Jastrow, of the University of Pennsylvania, at the beginning of his lec- ture on the Near East last Wednesday eve- ning. “It began the moment the West felt itself strong enough to dominate the East, and there has been no time since without a clash,” he continued. The lecture, which was in Taylor, was given under the aus- pices of the World Citizenship Committee. Dr. Jastrow traced the history of the Near East from the time of the successful Assyrian invasions, through Alexander's | conquests, the unfruitful attempts of the crusades to regain control, and finally Rus- suppressions of the Balkans in the middle of the 18th century, “The East acts ;as a magnet to the West which does not seem to be able to keep from meddling.” In the case the Balkans alone, the Crimean ‘War the Balkan-European Wars were the direct results of European interference when the Balkan states were struggling to assert their nationalism. Con- trol not only by martial means but by com- mercial extension and spiritual mastery through the missionaries has been tried by European nations. However, the brow-beaten Eastern na- | tions have kept their spirit through all their trials, as the Arabs under Colonel Thomas Lawrence demonstrated. “What the needs is protection until it can stand on its and it looks to this. country pathetic attitude of hope, for we are moved materialistic ambition to promote the political exploitation of the East.” Dr Jastrow concluded by wishing that Americ: | might see her way to an active, helpful pol- icy in the East, for “there is sure to be an other international conflict as long as ths Eastern situation it peace will not be brought about until the complete resuscitation and restitution of the East is accomplished.” sia’s of and Kast own feet, ina by no remains as is. anc TO SHOW BUSINESS APPLICATION OF PSYCHOLOGY AT LUNCHEON | Managed for Endowment by Dr. Leuba, Who Will be One of Speakers. | “Psychology | Industry” will be the subjects of speeches by Dr. Leuba and other expert psycholo- Applied to Business and gists at a long table luncheon at the Philadelphia City Club, tomorrow at 12.30.

M. Le Bras told of the French Chair before beginning his lecture, “Legends of Brittany.” “For a country of mist and fog like Brittany,” said M. Le Braz, “myths and legends are shadowy, peopled with indistinct figures.” ~Aes, the “Siren” of the Breton peasants, secn only in momentary glimpses, “when the sun catches her hair as she floats far out at sea.” The supernatural world is ever-present for the people Brittany. “Walking abroad by night disturbs the spirits,” de- clared M. Le Braz. “The Breton prefers his fireside after dark.” Standing on the steps at the French Club reception in Rockefeller Hall after the lecture, M. Le Braz recited some of his own poetry and told an original tale, “De l' Isle Adam.” M. Le Braz was entertained at dinner in Rockefeller by Miss Schenck.

Shades of the Quaker founders of Bryn Mawr! If their ghosts still walk, we hope it is at midnight, when rollicking and “play-acting” ceases for a while. How Could It Be? A crooked, staggering May-pole, with clashing ribbons of red, purple and orange, stands in the gymnasium. It is surrounded by towseled maidens, in hockey clothes, or bedraggled white skirts and run-down shoes. At the sound ofa ferocious slave- driving voice they “one, two, three, hop,” painfally counting, with toes pointing straight to heaven at each “hop.” Some sunny afternoon slender May-poles will stand on the campus, fluttering soft- colored ribbons. Real music, the gracefully pointed toc, and the spectator’s applause will be much in evidence while the gentle shepherdesses, in full-gathered skirts and stiff-starched caps will smile at their lads as they lightheartedly wind the pole. Suggestion for Endowment April 20, 1920. To the Editor of the Bryn Mawr News: May the Publicity Committee of the En- dowment use the columns of the “News” to reach the Bryn Mawr Alumnae, former students and graduate students, who have secured positions directly or indirectly through the Bryn Mawr College Appoint- ment Bureau or through the recommenda- tions of Bryn Mawr professors? We should like to write to each one individu- ally, but apparently there is no adequate list from which to work. One of this group has suggested that in- asmuch as all other employment agencies charge an entrance fee and at least 5 per cent commission on the first year's salary, our Bryn Mawrtyrs who have had their jobs through the College, without charge, now contribute to the Endowment Fund at least the 5 per cent commission on the first year’s salary in each job they have had. “In my own case,” she continues, “for the two positions I have had since I left col- lege the commission would come to $135, and I am going to pledge that amount to the Fund. . . . I hope that this may seem to you a practical point for approach to a years Soe to that ‘ie, how many? We have no way of telling—a goodly array surely! Our palms begin to itch, itch, itch, and our imaginations run riot. Mrs. Robert W. Claiborne, NEW C. A.

Slides Reveal Customs and Life in Feudal Persia (Continued from Page 1) right,” is one of the common sayings in Persia. “The Persian character mingles a strong love of beauty with a deep re- spect for etiquette,” said Mr. Weston. “Every Persian is at heart a poet. Phrases such as ‘Your presence has made all Persia a garden’ are expressions of everyday courtesy” “What Persia needs to make her one of the progressive nations,” Mr. Weston concluded, “is strong policing, a system of finance and transportation and foreign help in education.” so Smith, ‘Fellow. of St. ‘Mary's, Magdalen College, Oxford. Benjamin Rogers wrote the music in 1685. Miss ‘Mary O’Sullivan, Head Cataloguer, has translated the hymn into English at the request of the News, “O God, Our Father, we worship Thee and give praise to Thee, who dost renew our bodies with food and our souls with heavenly grace. We adore Thee, O Jesus, the only- begotten Son, who didst not disdain to enter the prison of a maiden: Lifted high on the cross, Thou wast offered our sacrifice to God’s justice: through Thee, our one Savior, the hope of life has come back to us. Ever do we bless Thee, O Eternal Spirit, through whose might Mary bore the God of little Children. O Triune God, O. Best Author of man’s salvation, with prayerful lips we praise this unfathomable mystery.” An account written in 1847, of the singing of the hymn at Oxford describes it as follows....“The choristers assem- ble there (on the tower) in their white gowns, at a little before five o’clock in the morning, and as soon as the clock has struck, commence singing their ma- tins.

The answer to this problem was the Langmuir Con- intensive research could unfold their real possibilities. Meanwhile, scientists of the General Electric Company developed the pro- cess of making wrought tungsten. This proved ideal as the target in X-ray tubes and its use for this purpose soon became universal. Then further research resulted in fhe development of an X-ray tube of a radically new type — the Coolidge Tube — with both electrodes of wrought tungsten and containing the highest attainable vacuum. But the complication of high-vacuum pumps made the new tube in large General Office Schenectady.
