Feder has been elected p permanent ath- letic manager, WHY TURN BACK THE CLOCKS? Many Would “Save Daylight’? All TIME TO BE CHANGED SUNDAY Sunday night, October 27th, is the time for setting back the clocks, thus bringing to an end What the Literary Digest calls our first experiment in saving daylight. Although it is impossible fo estimate the amount of fuel saved during the seven months of extra daylight, there is a wide- spread conviction that the measure has been a success, Indeed, “the suggestion has been made by some enthusiasts,” says The Electric Railway Journal, “that the plan should be continued throughout the year. They believe that people are now so accus- tomed to rising an hour earlier than they otherwise would that they would continue cheerfully to do so during the winter. ‘Would Have to “Get up at Night” “These advocates however, overlook the fact that such a plan would require most people to get up a considerable time before sunrise. They would thus have to use artificial light in the morning instead of in the evening, so that there would be no saving. Moreover such a measure would be very unpopular, be- cause while most people do not object to sitting up in the evening with artificial light they do object to being obliged to use it after rising in the morning. . . .” Another “psychological point” which the same article mentions is that if peo- ple used artificial light in the morning they would waste a great deal by forget- ting to turn it off until some time after it had become daylight. GET THE CROPS IN! Farm workers are badly needed, every afternoon and all day Saturday. C. Col- man ’20, who is managing the farm dur- ing Miss Dimon’s absence, says the au- tumn work will be finished by the end of the month, provided enough labourers turn out. Sixty Volunteers Saturday The corn-husking was finished Satur- day by volunteers, twenty working in the morning, and sixty in the afternoon. Most of last week’s laborers were sup- plied by those who had registered farmt- ing as their choice for conscripted work. In the absence of the coercive machinery of conscription, which has not yet started, they responded readily as volunteers. A considerable share of the work has been done by the graduates. Vegetables Supplied to Halls The vegetable supply of the halls is bought largely from the farm, at regular wholesale rates. Orders are given each morning by Miss Crawford, the Junior Bursar, to Mr. Woodward, the farmer, and filled in the afternoon. The tomatoes are picked then, and the carrots or tur- nips dug, that are served next day at table. This week vegetables are being dug up and cut, to be buried in pits on the col- lege grounds, in store for the winter. MAJOR CECIL ORIGINATES TOXINE Major Russel L. Cecil, brother of E. Cecil ‘21, has discovered a new pneu- monia vaccine. The commission from the Department of the Surgeon General of the U. S. Army brought a complete laboratory in a Pullman to Camp Wheeler, where 6000 of the 9000 men have already been inoculated under Major Cecil's su- pervision. , a mates posigptayr fe _ Werner Voorhees ‘18 are playing for the , | Tyler, G.

ARMY WANTS MORE BOOKS More books are needed for sdldiers’ reading, says the Literary Digest. $3,500 must be raised for the American Library Association out of the approaching Wel- fare Drive. The “average man” has given books generously, but mostly of fiction and not the new educational books also wanted by the soldiers. “For instance,” writes Frank Stock- bridge, ‘National Director of Information, Library War Fund, “the chemistry of high explosives is a subject on which we cannot get books from the average man’s book-shelves. Neither do they yield books to meet such demands as that from a Greek soldier, who wanted a book to help him teach an Italian soldier how to read English.” Favorite Non-Technical Books The Digest reprints from the Chicago Daily News this list of non-technical fa- vorites compiled from reports from thirty-five camp and base-hospital libra- ries: FICTION 1.

Attendance for Freshmen is compulsory. — Three more lectures, on the three fol- lowing Mondays, will be given. cm PATRONTEING ADVERTIONRS, FLAASE MENTION “rue COReEaE Wews"” who prided themselves on the possession of one or two members who had previ- ously witnessed, or even participated in, the game before, made quick work of the Sophomores, dashing off with a 3-1 score. Their match was followed by a 2-1 vic- tory for the Juniors over the Kultur-weary Seniors; after which the Odds retired to the sidelines, leaving the valiant blues in full possession. VASSAR MAY HAVE CONSCRIPTION HAS BEEN CORRESPONDING WITH BRYN MAWR WAR COUNCIL At Vassar a mass meeting has been called to consider conscription “as a means for obtaining the most effective war work this year.” Until now Bryn Mawr has been the only one of the East- erm women’s colleges to have its war work on a conscription basis. Vassar corresponded with executives of the Bryn Mawr War Council on the subject during the summer. Last year all registration for war work at Vassar was voluntary, and the main- tenance of the work depended on the in- dividual. The only two war activities constantly in progress are Red Cross work and the work of the Collegiate Periodical League, according to the Vassar Miscellany News. Intermittent forms of work are farming and work on the grounds. Freshmen will not be permitted to do any regular war work the first-semester, but will be asked to cut the grass and do such volunteer work as does not require regular hours. CHAPEL ORGAN TO BE MOVED AND MENDED BY DECEMBER Choir Seats May Change Position The chapel organ will be repaired and placed in a new position for the 1918-19 choir, which will be chosen after the quarantine. The armature of the electric motor, by which the organ is pumped, is worn out and will have to be replaced. It is hoped that this can be done by Decem- ber. The organ will then be moved far- ther back in the chapel on the same side. For the present, the organ is not being used at morning chapel and is being blown by hand for the Sunday evening service, usually by a good-natured Senior. A piano was suggested for the chapel un- til the organ was mended, but the propo- sition was rejected on account of the ex- pense. By the new arrangement the choir will probably sit in the seats now occupied by the graduate students. It is-hoped that the singing may be led more easily from this position. It is a far cry from the organ of today to the musical methods used in morning chapel a number of years ago. The choir occupied the first row of the Senior seats, and the leader, standing at one end, pitched the hymns by striking a triangle, the only instrument then allowed. MANFUL MEASURES vs. FLU As Seen in Campus Health Clubs One direct and beneficial result of the “flu” epidemic has been the formation all over the campus of informal health clubs. Night owls are night owls no longer, and the country around Bryn Mawr fairly bristles with undergraduates taking their | constitutionals. Merion manfully drinks milk with all its meals. Bathrooms are hourly thronged with enthusiastic garglers. And sodium phosphate has become an overwhelm- ingly popular beverage. Seareely a student but boasts a health program such as has hitherto been reserved for fanatics and fresh air fiends only. Such is the havoc wrought by war!

Smith lead in the graduate tennis tournament, in which there were fifteen entries. From the outcome of the tournament a team will be _ selected, which will challenge an undergradute team. The gymnasium lists showed only two half periods of exercise owing last week, instead of the usual twenty or thirty. Influenza Hospital (Continued from page 1.) Mrs. Branson is “General” of the hos- pital and has had the work of setting up the wards. Mrs. Daniel Keller (Frances Branson ex-’19) has done some of the night ambulance driving and was also for a while in charge of the motor service. Thomas Branson, Jr., is an orderly and night ambulance driver. ue Amy Sharpless ex-'01, daughter of the former president of Haverford College, paints signs and posters for the establish- ment. The hospital has so far accommodated about seventy influenza patients. The carpenter, who had been excep tionally busy on Friday, asked to be re- leased a little early so that he might make the 250 crosses for funerals in the village, which he had promised as “his bit.” Appreciation for the assistance of Bryn Mawr students in getting the building ready is expressed by the Emergency | Hospital in a letter to the Red Cross. :
