"BRYN MAWR, PA. a ee , FEBRUARY 28, 1918 — = ——— Clairvoyants, barkers for races, ice cream vendors and the Junior Band plied their trades briskly in the gymnasium Friday night -to swell the Graduates’ Fund for the Service Corps. Side shows, besieged by the curious, and obstacle races, flocked to by spectators as well as participants, furnished a full evening of entertainment. Fifty dollars were cleared. Ingenious obstacle races, such as walk- ing a “railroad track” while looking through the large end of a pair of opera glasses, were introduced in intervals be- tween the dancing. Many of the guests as well as the managers were in costume. A competition dance, amid intense ex- citement, was won by J. Peabody and G. Hearne. A black-curtained oracle at the foot of the dressing room stairs early became a place of pilgrimage. After a persistent Tumor had identified the invisible sage with Miss Dimon, she was found to be Miss Lucy Powell, Fellow in Greek. The “Chamber of Horrors” offered a ghastly spectacle of Blue Beard (Miss Frisbie) and his freshly murdered wives, with a violin accompaniment, “The End of a Perfect Day.” “Kanning the Kaiser,” by bombarding his portrait with tennis balls, and con- sulting the palmist (Mlle. Schoell) consti- tuted popular recreations at opposite corners of the room. “Aviation” balance tests were given by Miss Macdonald, Miss Hawk and Miss Sewell, and a spirit- ed exhibition of rope walking by Miss Mary Almack. A_ phrenologist, Miss Mabel Kitson; read “bumps” for charac- ter. Miss Adams told fortunes from cards. The carnival was planned and directed by M. Willard ’17. WAR COURSES IN SOCIAL WORK GIVEN AT SMITH FOR SENIORS Two emergency courses in social work in war time are being given at Smith College this year to a group of Seniors, through the department of Economics and Sociology. The twelve weeks’ course this seme- ster is “Civilian War Relief and Home Service,” consisting of two hours of lec- ture and four hours of field work a week. After commencement the course will be completed by three or four weeks of full- time field work to clinch the training and bring things to a head, so that the students may enter Home Service work without delay. “The Organization and Management of War Relief in Small Communities,” the first semester subject, dealt with the organization and work of local units of the Red Cross. DISCOVERER OF POLE MAY COME TO BRYN MAWR Sir Ernest Shackleton, the discoverer of the South Pole, may be secured by the Education Department of the War Council to speak on his antarctic ex- plorations, the probable date being in April. : Five years ago, before he was knight- ed, the great explorer spoke at Bryn Mawr. Owing to the impossibility of getting “If I Were King”, the Varsity Play is still in the balance. The vote of the Un- dergraduate Association, taken in the meetings of the four classes, was 139 for “If I Were King”, by Justin MeCarthy, as opposed to 59 for the sum of the other four plays submitted by the investigating committee. The difficulty in getting “If I Were King” arises from the fact that as a play it exists only in manuscript, and the manuscript cannot be had for nearly three weeks. The Admirable Crichton, by Barrie, Pantaloon and Rosalind by Barrie, and Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac are being considered by the Varsity Dramatics Committee and will probably be recom- mended to the Undergraduate Association at an early meeting. The dates reserved are April 19th and 20th. Mrs. Patch has been secured as coach for the play, and M. Martin ’19 is chair- man of the Varsity Dramatics Committee, which has charge of the casting and pro- ‘duction and will make nominations to the Undergraduate Association for stage manager. Other members of this com- mittee, which is made up of representa- tives elected by classes, are L. Hodges 18, L. Williamson ’20, and E. Hill ’21. The play will be given for the benefit of the Service Corps. FACULTY REPRESENTS BRYN MAWR AT a” CONFER- Yale Football Coach Demonstrates How to Keep in Fighting Trim President Thomas, Dean Taft, Dr. Frank, and Dr. Kingsbury represented Bryn Mawr at the Congress of National Service called by the National Security League last week in Chicago. Delegates from schools and colleges all over the country attended. Patriotism through education was the trend of thé most im- portant discussion. : Ex-President Taft, Bainbridge Colby of the Shipping Board, who was one of the American Commission under Colonel House at the Allied War Council at Ver- sailles, Charles E. Russell, the Socialist editor, who went with Mr. Root to Russia, and two British Labor delegates, were among the distinguished men present. Walter Camp, Yale football coach and author of articles on athletics, demon- strated exercises intended to maintain fighting trim among civilians. He was anxious to introduce them to Bryn Mawr. The “Meaning of the Breakdown of In- ternational Law”, given by Judge Win- slow, Chief Justice of Wisconsin, and the “German Conspiracy”, by Professor Soi- rez, of the University of Chicago, were two of the most spirited addresses. SENIORS COMPLETE SERVICE CORPS APPORTIONMENT WITH $1022 1918 is the first class to raise its Serv- ice Corps apportionment $1022. Any sur- plus will go in to the Varsity Fund. Handicraft classes and chiJdren’s work at community centres were discussed by Miss Abigail Davies, of the Philadel- phia College Settlement, at an open meet- ing on the evening of February 20th in the C. A. library. COMMENCEMENT FESTIVITIES KEPT ALMOST UNCHANGED BY SENIORS Big Majority Votes for.Garden Party. A big majority of the senior class voted last Monday to give a garden party this year “on as simple a scale as pos sible.” The other commencement activi. ties were kept practically unchanged. Senior Bonfire and the senior picnic to the sophomores were definitely voted and the motion to have a class supper, though laid on the table for investigation of catering expenses, was upheld warmly against a small opposition. The custom- ary celebration of May day and the Fel- lowship dinner in Rockefeller on March 15th, were also voted. College Breakfast, the class agreed, should be given up if the hostesses 1920 wished to do so. AMATEUR CHAMPION SWIMMERS AND DIVERS EXHIBIT IN POOL College Records Laid Low by Attack of Miss Dorfner An exhibition by amateur champion swimmers and divers, headed by Miss Olga Dorfner, holder of world’s records for women in the 500-yard swim and the plunge for distance, was given in the pool last Wednesday evening. Eight women swimmers, most of them less than 20 years old, and two girls of 9, took part. Form swims, showing different strokes, life-saving demonstrations, races, plain and fancy diving, and plunge for distance were the events of the exhibition. Col- lege speed records were easily broken, and the audience stood astounded at the beautiful diving. The 33% sec. record for the 136-foot swim, made by K. Town- send ‘20, became 271, sec., and her 68- foot record of 13%, sec. was reduced to 123. Unbeaten Relay Team The swimmers were all Philadelphia girls, none of whom devote their entire time to the sport. Most of them are still in High School, and practice only in the afternoons. Four of them, the Misses Dorfner, Artlett, Arklie and Becker, form a relay team which has never been beaten. Miss Klump (age 9), who gave an ex- hibition for form of the under-arm side stroke, has swam the Schuylkill with hands and feet tied. Frequent diving, according to Miss Dorfner, ruins a woman for speed swim- ming, and as one or the other has to be sacrificed she has given up diving in com- petitions. (Continued on page 3) M. HUTCHINS EX-20 A PRIVATE IN U. S. ARMY SIGNAL CORPS Margaret Hutchins ex-’20, last year’s Freshman president, has enlisted in the Signal: Corps for work as a telephone operator in France, and has taken the regular oath of allegiance. Sixty dollars a month is Miss Hutchins’ army pay. She is required to wear a uni- form. She expects to sail in about six weeks, and at present she is going to a school of telephone operating in New York. Her enlistment is for the duration of the war. Miss Hutchins was given a severe test in conversational French and a strict physical examination. of the First French Engineers, who has been deco- rated with the cross of the Legion of Honour and the Croix de Guerre, now in- structor at Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. J., will speak on “France Under Fire” to- morrow evening at 8 o’clock in Taylor Captain Paul Candé; Hall. His lecture has been arranged by the Graduate Service Corps Committee through the French graduate students. From the beginning of the war until his coming to this country last Septem- ber, Captain Candé was at the front, and was wounded three times. He took part in the battle of the Marne and fought at Verdun. Captain Candé is a_= graduate of the famous French engineering college, l’Ecole de Polytechnique, and was in the army at the outbreak of the war. Admission is twenty-five cents; re- served seats, fifty cents. Tickets may be bought from Mildred Willard, Pembroke East. C. A. MEETING PLANS; EUDGET AND WEEK-END CONFERENCE Sophomore President to lead Silver Bay Delegation The approval, with a few changes, of the C, A. budget, the formation of a tentative plan for the week-end confer. ence and the announcement of M. M. Carey, 1920’s president, as leader of this year’s Silver Bay delegation were the main features of the Christian Associa- tion meeting last Thursday night. Under the new budget $2482.15 has al- ready been pledged, plus $28.16 handed over by last year’s Belgian Relief Com- mittee. The Association’s running ex- penses come out of the $595 collected in dues.

The Armenian donation, which will go through the Service Corps, was voted to be taken from the surplus of the pledges, and to include the $28.16 from the Belgian Committee. The C. A. conference, scheduled for the week-end before Easter, was pro- visionally transferred to the week-end after the vacation. After some discus- sion as to whether its subject should be the World Situation or Christian Funda- mentals, the latter was given first choice. (Continued on page 5) PENN ADOPTS MILITARY TRAINING Military training, purely voluntary in character, has been started at the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania. Hereafter the hour between 3.30 and 4.30 will be devoted ex- clusively to this training, and neither ac- ademic nor athletic work will be allowed to interfere. Manager from 1921 will begin at once. ‘Competitors should sign on the Bulletin Board in Taylor. A competition for Edi- tor from 1921 will be antiounced before ter. The Boches of Bryn Mawr The abuse of library privileges is reach- ing a pitch which calls for some redress. Books are continually taken out without signing; sometimes fictitious times are marked down, and dates are changed on reserve slips. The hall libraries and the New Book Room suffer from the same unscrupulous methods, which must, if continued, destroy the whole system, _ based as it is on a kind of “social con- tract”, ' he tiresome habit which many stu- dents have of marking books as they read them is on the increase, and is even exiended to personal copies lent by the professors. Unfortunately, the humor, apparently meant to divert future read- ers, never passes beyond the level of that in the margin by Lyly’s Eup’ ues: “And so they all sate downe,” runs the passage, “but Buphues fed of one dish, which ever stoode before him, the beautie of Lucilla.” The appreciative “Yum, yum”! critic comments, MISS KING, SPEAKING IN CHAPEL, CRITICISES SARGENT’S WILSON. Discusses Advantage of Portraiture and its Position as a Branch of Art. In her discussion of the portraits of the Pennsylvania Academy Exhibit last Friday in chapel, Professor Georgiana Goddard King characterized the Sargent portrait of Wilson as “neither fair to Mr. Wilson nor a credit to Mr. Sargent.” The portrait does not show unkind criticism, she explained. “The trouble is, there is no criticism in it. The whole thing has been put together in the workshop, from such well-used materials as Mr. Sargent has always by him.” Touching on the advantages of hav. ing portraits painted, Professor King cited the alleged fact that family like- nesses are strongest in households where ancestral portraits are prominent. In this way, she suggested, family virtues ‘@re made the most of, and family vices known, so that they can be avoided. The difference between portrait paint- ing and the painting of posed figures lies in the artist’s decision what to emphe size, she sald. Mm a great deal of figure painting the artist's chief interest is in problems of light and of placing, as for example, in “Jade,” by Gertrude Fiske in the exhibition, or in most of the works ot Rembrandt. Portraiture, Miss King classed as a branch of figure standing which deals with a personality in the game way that drama is a branch of poetry, which deals with an action. NO SILVER CUP FOR 1916 TWINS 1915 voted at its last class meeting to give a silver cup to the first pair of twins, provided they were the class babies. The cup was to bear the inscription: “We are green, we are green, we are 1915, And we'll fight with a might that has never been seen.” Twin daughters were born to Mrs. Ed- win Coit Kelton (Florence Hatton '15) sible for opinions expressed in this column.

NEWS STATEMENT CORRECTED To the Editor of the College News: May I correct the statement in The News of last weék that “Miss Yasui, a graduate of high school and normal school in Tokyo, will be dean” of the New Christian Women’s College? I do not know whether she is a grad- uate of high school or normal school, but she could not be a graduate of both be- cause they are of about the same stand- ard. I know, however, that she is a graduate of the higher normal school, in Ocheno Mizu, Tokyo, which is above either of them. She also studied twice in England as a government scholar. She was once a tutor of the royal family in Siam, another time a teacher of the Peer- esses’ School in Tokyo. She is one of the foremost women in modern Japan. Sincerely yours, FUMI UCHIDA. WAR COURSES BEING FORMED AT RED CROSS HEADQUARTERS New Model Headquarters in Annex of Lancaster Inn The following War Courses will start at the new model Red Cross. Headquarters at the corner of Montgomery Avenue and Morris Avenue as soon as ten or more people register for each course. Classes in Elementary Hygiene and Home Nursing at the rate of $15 for fif- teen lessons, in Dietetics at $10 for ten lessons, in First Aid at $2.50 for ten les- sons, in Surgical Dressings at $2 for seven lessons, and an instructor’s course at $3 for seven lessons. The Main Line Headquarters, which is in the annex of the old Lancaster Inn, is a model Red Cross workshop. Down- stairs there is a large, well-lighted office, of which Mrs. Henry Nevil Sanders is in charge, a wool room, a cutting room, with an electric cutting machine, and requisi- tion and inspection rooms. Upstairs there are two rooms for surgical dressings and a sewing-room with seven electric sewing machines. Two class rooms with hospital beds and First Aid Charts occupy the third floor. As an example of the amount of busi- ness transacted, Mrs. Sanders said that $1200 worth of wool had been given out in the last week. She pointed to the padlocked doors partioning off a large portion of the cellar, and said that they enclosed thousands of dollars worth of material. G. Hendrick WIll Return to College—Has Scariet Fever The News of February 14th wrongly announced that G. Hendrick "21 had left college permanently. Miss Hendrick has scarlet fever at her home in New York, but will return to Bryn Mawr, probably would prove better for heating. A prom- inent operating engineer, however, re- cently: stated his belief from several tests, that exhaust steam was better and more. efficient for heating than live steam. His company had a central sta- tion connection, for emergency purposes, in one large office building which had its own power plant. He decided to carry out some tests to satisfy himself regard- ing the costs of central station power and live steam heating as compared with his present local costs. Records were made covering several days’ operation, using the exhaust steam from the en- gines in the heating system. Then on Saturday night the central station cur- rent was switched on and the engines shut down. Reduced live steam was used for heating until the following Monday morning. The outside temperature con- ditions and winds were practically the same throughout the tests, yet difficulty was experienced in keeping some rooms warm enough with the live steam. These trials showed that more coal was burned when the engines were shut down than when they were operating and generat- ing power. This result is so surprising that one is led to speculate on the influ- ences that produced it. “Superheated steam, being more of the nature of a perfect gas, radiates its heat less readily than wet steam. This might account for insufficient heat in certain rooms. The greater volume of the super- heated steam might also be a determin- ing factor. “Another suggestion has been made that the pulsation set up in the heating ALUMNA NOTES The Rushlight, a one-act play by Mo- nica Barry O’Shea ’17, in which a woman refuses to save her son’s life at the cost of treason to Ireland, is to be presented in American camps and cantonments be- cause of its patriotic theme. The play was given in New York this month, and will probably be acted in Philadelphia by the Plays and Players. Miss O’Shea works in the circulation and advertising department of the Butterick Publishing Company. B. Faulkner ex-’17 was married last Saturday to Lieutenant Walter Lacy, of the Medical Corps, who'is stationed at Fort Ogelthorpe, Georgia. Lieutenant and Mrs. Lacy will live just across the border in Chattanooga, Tenn. Larie Kiein "16 is doing social work at the Henry Street Settlement House, New York City. Alice Van Horn '16 is teaching French at Miss Mill’s School, Mt. Airy, Philadel phia. COGOANUT GROVE FOR CORPS “A Honolula Heaven” is promised in the “Cocoanut Grove” that is to sprout for the benefit of the Varsity Service Corps fund in the gymnasium, Saturday afternoon, from four to six. “Bars of tron”, from the novel of that last Sunday and to Mrs. Buchanan by March 17th. “If there is any special virtue in exhaust definitely, for it would have an important bearing on the question of central sta- tion power versus individual generating plants. Obviously if it costs more to heat | with reduced live steam than with ex- haust steam, this factor should enter in when considering the substitution of cen- tral station power for the individual power plant.” (From Power, August 3, 1915. Volume 42, Number 5.) Private Plants Mean Fuel Economy. “Tf have tried to be very clear in bring- ing out the fact that fuel economy can ‘be obtained by operating the private plants to their limit during such part of the year as their exhaust steam can be used for heating. “If you will call up any one of fifty -private plant owners in your immediate vicinity, you will find that practical ex- perience has shown them that they will use no more coal during the months of January, February and March, and, in many cases, also in April, for supplying their total requirements of heat alone. This is such a well known fact that it is hardly disputed by unbiased engineers. “Mr. Bion J. Arnold, the great ex- ponent of central plants, who is now a major in the United States Army, stated the other night at the American Insti- tute of Hlectrical Engineers that there could be no question that the private generating plant using its exhaust steam was the most efficient method of produc- ing electricity. “I would suggest that you call up Mr. Harris A. Dunn, of the Columbia Trust Co., whom you probably know, and ask him for his experience. In that building, the actual coal used in two successive years—one buying Edison current, and the other making the current—was less when the current was made than when the current was bought. “The same thing was true in a test we made in the Mutual Insurance Co.’s building in Richmond, and you will find that this is the universal experience.” (Letter from Percival Robert Moses, E.E., Engineering Offices, 366 Fifth Ave- nue, New York City). Power, January 27th, 47, Number 5.) 1918, Volume 18, will be produced by the same Senior moving picture corporation that filmed “The Price She Paid” last year. A for- tune teller will be present and it is ru- mored that several zoological ghosts will walk. There will be general and exhibi- tion dancing. DEGAS’ ART COLLECTION TO BE SOLD IN PARIS NEXT MONTH The paintings by Degas, which the famous French artist owned himself, and also his rare collection of the work of others, will be sold in Paris after two exhibitions in March and May, the New York Durand-Ruel announced last Friday. Degas’ paintings, pastels and other works comprise about three hundred items. Many drawings by Ingres were in his possession. “The sale will be historical,” says the Public Ledger. As a great cult for Degas has developed among the newly rich of the Scandinavian countries, where some great fortunes have been made out of the war, it follows that American col- lectors will be much harder pressed in this competition than before the war.” Degas, one of the greatest painters of the Impressionist school, which was first known in 1870 in the work of Manet, died last October. The ballet and the race course furmished the themes of many of name by B. M. Dell, starring 8. Beiville bis most famous pictures. The fourth annual contest between | vidual apparatus cup comes next Setus-| day, March 9th, and the following Satur- day, March 16th. The exercises for the competition are being set by M. Mackenzie ‘18 and A. Stiles "19, both former winners of the cup. The general plan of other years is being followed, though there may be some changes; a certain number of exer- cises on the horse, ropes and parallel bars are learned by the contestants be- forehand; an original exercise on each is also presented, and the judges set one exercise on each which the contestants have not done, The judges will be Miss Applebee, T. Howell ‘18, M. Mackenzie 18, A. Stiles 19 and BH. Carus ’19. The cup for the best individual appar- atus work was presented by M. Morgan ex-’15 three years ago. The first winner was G. Bryant ’17; two years ago M. Mackenzie ’18 won it, and last year A. Stiles ‘19. The cup is a college trophy, and the name of the winner is engraved on it each year. WATER POLO GAMES START WEEK FROM MONDAY Water polo matches begin March 11th, a week from Monday. The captains have decided, in case of a tie, to prolong the game until a goal is made, with two min- utes as a limit. The question of having second team games has not been decided. “GENERAL POST” NOT IN THE ARMY The name of the play running this week at the Broad, “General Post,” con- notes no military hero, the Public Ledger explains. The cry of “General Post” is the signal in the old English game of stage coach for every one to change their positions, and in this play refers to the social upheaval caused by the war.

REFUGEE GARMENT FACTORY STARTED IN PHILADELPHIA Night Shifts for Factery Goods A volunteer factory, with one hundred machines and all the necessary equip- ment, is about to be opened opposite Wanamaker’s at 1315 Market Street, for the making of refugee garments. The . garments are needed in such large quanti- ties that it has been thought best to em- ploy modern factory methods. Prominent garment manufacturers, Mr. Kirschbaum, of the A. B. Kirschbaum & Co., and Mr. Haney, of the Haney, Kuttner and Rabb, have laid out the plan. As soon as volunteer workers can be obtained the factory will open. The work- -ers will be divided into two daily shifts of three hours each, and it is hoped that vol- unteers will enlist for at least two shifts a week. Expert instructors will be in charge. Factory girls have volunteered to work nights. The head of the Red Cross, Mr. David- son, is watching the experiment, and if it is successful will install similar factories in other cities.- All machinery has been «contributed. labor union in 1910 which increased. ia size until it now represents clothing fac-) tories all over the United States. The relation between capital and la- bor in this company and in all the fac- tories which belong to the same labor union is supposed to be one of the most. satisfactory in existence. Disputes be- tween employers and employes are’ taken first to a foreman and, if he cannot settle them satisfactorily, before a board of 11 men, five representatives from the em- ployers, five from the employes, and one distinterested lawyer. This board settles most disputes. There is a still higher court of appeals to which disputes are taken in rare cases. As a result strikes almost never occur. DR. HUFF SPEAKS FOR FARMING. Urges it as Intellectual Operation. Food production, as a field with tasks for small energies as well as large, was dis- cussed by Dr. Huff last Thursday morn- ing in chapel. “Although you may not be able to raise wheat and corn, you can raise things that take the place of wheat and corn, such as lima beans,” he said. “The chances for a normal crop in the United States this year,’ said Dr. Huff in pointing out the need of increased production, “have been estimated by good authorities at 80 per cent. To feed the nations that are depending on us we ought to have at least a 150 per cent. normal crop.” “Tn farming don’t forget the opportu- nity to learn,” he advised. “Be very hum- ble if you have a good teacher, and quite humble if you haven't one. Get hold of one or two books and study them. Make it really an intellectual operation as well as an expenditure of mere mus-’ cle.” ALUMNA PRAISED IN JAPANESE PAPER AS HAVING PRETTY WIT Bryn Mawr a Name to Conjure With Both the “institution” of Bryn Mawr and one of its “honour pupils” are de- lightfully complimented in the following extract from the Japan Gazette. “Yokohoma, Dec. 22, 1917.—Miss Mar- garet Hedges, who has for a couple of years been with a prominent foreign firm of Yokohoma, as a valued member of the staff, was married this week, Mr. Alex- ander Smith, of the Chartered Bank, be- ing the fortunate happy man. In Amer- ica Bryn Mawr Seminary is ‘a name to conjure with,’ being an institution of high exclusive grade, from which many of the cleverest women over there have heen graduated. Miss Hedges was honour pu- pil at Bryn Mawr, and was afterward re- tained as one of the executives for two years, though still very young for the position. She has a pretty wit, and is a dinner guest of infinite possibilities, and will no doubt fill a social niche here comparable with her brightness and abil- ity.” Mrs. Smith (Miriam M. Hedges) gradu- ated from Bryn Mawr in 1910, and was business manager of the College in 1913 15. After spending nine months as sec retary and teacher in Honolulu, she be came secretary to the managing director of Sale & Frazer, Ltd, in Tokyo, Japan the firm referred to in the above notice of her marriage. ole: euste cheels 4ohee ke of wees in heathers and plain colors.

The meeting was felt advisable in view of enthusiasm ex- pressed in Junior and. Sophomore Class meetings for such a store. The Food Conservation Department is | backed by the War Council in its disap- | proval of the project as contrary to Hoover’s request that nothing be eaten between meals, but many Juniors and Sophomores’ feel that a store selling only “Hoover” food would be the best way to control the college food situation. Marion Reilly ‘01 was announced as ‘chairman and Abigail Dimon '96 as secre- tary of the Joint Service Corps Adminis- trative Committee. The possibility of a Bryn Mawr worker in a unit to aid the Armenians in Palestine was brought for- ward. A prospectus of the Service Corps and a questionnaire to be sent to alumnz wishing to become members are in press. Sale of Thrift Stamps Reaches $1200" | Thrift stamps to the value of $1200 have been sold at college since the cam- paign opened, reported Mrs. William Roy Smith, head of the Liberty Loan Depart- ment. War Savings societies have been formed by the Department at Miss Wright’s, the Misses Shipley’s, Baldwin, and Model Schools, as well as in the four college classes, CHAPLAIN OF GORDON HIGH- LANDERS IN BRYN MAWR Old Friend of Dr. Mutch’s Holds Congregation Spellbound Many students were present at the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church last Sunday when Major. Lauchlan MacLean Watt, Chaplain to the Gordon Highland- ers in the British Expeditionary Force, which has been on active duty since De- cember, 1914, preached a war sermon on the subject, With the Fighting Men.” Dr. Watt, who is an old college friend |} of Dr. Mutch, has been sent to America by the British Foreign Office to speak on } the fighting spirit of the British and Scot: tish in the war. His address in Bryn Mawr was the first he has given in this country. The keynote of the address, moved the congregation to tears, was struck when the chaplain said: “The men over there are not plaster saints. They have learned that life is nothing. that/death is less than nothing, and that Christ and honor are all.” which Students Invited to Meet Major Watt All the Faculty and students, whether Presbyterian or not, are asked by Dr. Mutch to a reception at the Manse this Saturday evening, at quarter of eight, to meet Major Watt. OFFICIAL NOTICE No Food To Be Sold for Service Corps The Food Conservation Department of the War Council, in response to requests for an opinion, has taken a decided stand on the following points: 1. That food should not be sold for the benefit of the Service Corps. 2. That a college “war food” should not be established. This opinion is based on the belief that the Food Administration wishes to de- crease the unnecessary consumption of food and that by having food, even “war food”, sold on the campus, “eating be- tween meals” is encouraged. Pledge cards on the form suggested in the News two weeks ago and since ap proved by the Undergraduate Association, are being printed to be used as reminders of the requests of the Food Administra- tion. shop “In France and Flanders |j TELEPHONE, BRYN MAWR 37° “Sagteress New Bryn Mawr Theatre Nights, 7 to 9.
