[
/ MAY APPEAR 1 IN KILTS

“Ian Hay”, Major Ian Hay Beith, of the’
Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, in his
new lecture, entitled “Carrying On”, will
speak in the gymnasium under the aus-

pices of the History Club next Saturday

night at 8.00, on the progress of the war
on land and sea. As in his lecture here
last year Major Beith promises to empha-
size. the human side of warfare and to
continue the characterization of the Brit-
ish Tommy made famous by “The First
Hundred Thousand” and its sequel, “All
in It”. Lantern slides from photographs,
which he took at the front last summer,
will illustrate the lecture. Major Beith
has been asked by the History Club to
lecture in kilts, but has not yet answered
the request.

During his recent absence from Amer-
ica Major Beith has been with the British
Grand Fleet and with the American ships
now in the battle zone. His outlook on
the U-boat campaign is most encouraging.
The public would be astonished, he is re-
ported to have said, if the figures of Ger-
man submarines sunk since September
could be made public.

Equally cheerful is his account” of
Pershing’s forces,
several months in France. Everywhere
he says, he found fine enthusiasm among
the American soldiers; France, he de-
clares, is relying on them absolutely to
win the war.

Major Beith has been promoted to the.
rank of major since last February, when
he spoke at Bryn Mawr as “Captain”
Beith. He was awarded the Military
Cross in 1915 for conspicuous bravery in
the battle of Loos,

The History Club will entertain its dis-

tinguished visitor at dinner in Pembroke |

the rivalry for seats at the Pembroke
table that the president of the club, P.

VARSITY TAKES UNOFFICIAL
GAME DURING SNOWSTORM

Defeats Philadelphia Cricket Club
4-3 in Game Marred by Weather

Playing in a driving snowstorm, Var-
sity took an unofficial game from the
Philadelphia Cricket Club last Saturday
by the score of 4-3. Owing to the half-
inch of snow which covered the field, the
hitting was poor, a hard stroke being
necessary to send the ball more than a
few feet. The teamwork on both sides
was consequently ragged and the playing
scrappy. H. Alexander ex-’18 refereed
the match.

Philadelphia scored the first goal, put
in by Miss Taylor, right wing, after a
long fight in the Varsity circle. M. Pea-
cock 19 blocking a run by Miss Goodman,
the opposing left wing, sent the ball up
for a hard scrap in front of the visitors’
cage. Mrs. Fraley, the Philadelphia goal-
keeper, made two good stops before M.
Tyler "19 scored the first point for Bryn
Mawr. E. Biddle "19, right halfback, fol-
lowed with a hard shot from the edge of
the circle, leaving the score 2-1 in favor
of Varsity at the end of the half.

The Philadelphia team pulled itself to-
gether in the second half and gave the
Varsity defense a stiff fight. Another



goal by M. Tyler was followed by a point

$1000 Raised After Talk For Stu-
dents’ Friendship War Fund

“If it wasn’t for the bleedin’ blokes in
the bloody ’uts there’d be the ’ell of a
time”. Mr. Francis B. Sayre apologetic-
ally quoted a British Tommy in his talk
on the war work of the Y. M. C, A. in
Vespers last Sunday.

Hot coffee and good cheer are the main
features of the work, according to Mr.
Sayre’s account. Ninety gallons of coffee
are served out every night in each of the
many dugouts a few hundred yards be-
hind the front line trenches. “It’s real
service, this service of your fellow men”,
he said. “The secretaries must be obliv-
ious of their own danger in the service
or their fellows,

Station huts, with their walls lined with

bunks, are maintained by the “Y” near
railway stations. Here tired men on their
way from the front come every night to
rest, There are also Bast Indian huts,
| where the British Indiang may obtain
| their own Indian dishes.
A_big resort has been established at

| expected that more than a half of the |
| American soldiers will spend their ten-
| day furloughs. The “Paris problem” is
| met by taking over many Paris theatres
/and moving picture houses for the pro-
duction of American plays.

In the collection for the Students’
Friendship War Fund, taken after Mr.
Sayre’s talk, over $1000 was pledged.

Speaking later to a News reporter Mr.
Sayre said that at least 95 per cent of
the money given for work in the German
prison camps actually reached the Allied
prisoners. The Germans, he said, let food
be sent into the camps in return for such
privileges granted to their relief organi-
zations by the Allies.

Risk Act, Dr, Fenwick returned to Bryn
Mawr last week from his lecture tour in
Texas army camps and resumed his in-
struction of Bryn Mawr politics classes.

A statement of the policy the govern-
ment is pursuing towards soldiers and
sailors and their dependent families has
been very kindly furnished to the News
by Dr. Fenwick.

“When the principle of compulsory
service was adopted”, writes Dr. Fen-
wick, “it was felt that in justice to the
men a reasonable measure of support
should be provided for their families dur-
ing their absence and an even more lib-
eral support provided in the event of the
death or disability of the breadwinner.
At the same time Congress felt that in
return for the government’s assistance to
the families of the men it was but fair,
especially in view of the larger pay pro-
vided ahen the new National Army was
created, to require the men to contribute

CLEVER LINES WELL ACTED IN

James’s Day for Domestic Affairs Por-
trayed to 1921 in Clever Skit

In “the worst slaughter in years”,
(“statistics shattered’), perished the
philosopher, 1918, at the Senior Recep-
tion last Saturday. By alienating the af-
fections of Mrs. Angelica James, 1920,
from Mr. James, 1919, and Araminta,
1921, he turned their family circle into a
rhomboid, until they were reconciled

- "San ‘Now
The stress of campaigns now under
way in college, those for the Students’

Friendship Fund and the thrift bonds, has

determined the War Council to make no
special Red Cross membership drive next
week. This decision cannot relieve the
college from a share in the national aim
of “ten million new members by Christ-
mas”, The government is urging that
every one at home for vacation give at
least two days of the Christmas holiday
to helping the membership drive in the
local Red Cross. It is obviously more.
convenient to belong in one’s own home,
so discussion of the matter here is simply
a reminder; being in college does not free
one of all but college interests.
On the Trail of the Sleuth Hound
lt is strange that those who were loud-

est in their condemnation of the “scireck-

lichkeit” which they felt to be insepara-
ble from Senior Orals, are the same in-
dividuals who are most persistent in aor
efforts to attach it also to the Senior
Written Examinations. The rumor, that
Seniors who had failed to do their sum-
mer ieading would be “forced by the col-
lege to abandon their major work and
take five hours of German”, was so thor-
oughly spread about college the first
week cf the semester that even intelli-
gent students believed it. The same ru-
mor is being revived now in connection
with the second Senior examinations.
Dire ‘penalties for failure in either are
threatened. The only real penalty, the
prospect of taking a third and perhaps a
fourth examination, is not .theatrical
enough,

Fortunately, in spite of the sensation
seekers, written one hour tests provide
little “human interest”. Even the most
promising of Bryn Mawr’'s young Hearsts
cannot create the hysteria of the. old
system.

Food—Don’t Waste It

There was once a boy called Henry
King, who ate “not wisely but too well”.
According to Mr. H. Belloc, he was “early
cut off in dreadful agonies’. The injudi-
cious youth cried on his deathbed:
“© my friends, be warned by me
That breakfast, dinner, lunch, and tea,
Are all the human frame requires’.
(With this the wretched child expires”.)

Had he been wiser, living in these lat-
ter days, he might have said:
“Breakfast, dinner, lunch, these three,
Are all that human frames require,
Omitting tea you won't expire”.

BUNYAN UP TO DATE BY KIPLING
“The Holy War,” Kipling’s recent
poem, has for its text a quotation from
Bunyan’s “Holy War,’ the New York
Times notes: “For here lay the excellent
wisdom of him that built Mansoul, that
the walls could never be broken down
nor hurt by the most mighty adverse
potentate unless the townsmen gave con-
sent thereto”. Following is a verse from
the poem:
A tinker out of Bedford,
A vagrant oft in quod,
A private under Fairfax,
A minister of God,
Two hundred years and thirty
Ere Armageddon came;
His single hand portrayed it,
And Bunyan was his name.

SPIRITUAL NEUTRAL CONDEMNED
BY DR. JONES IN SERMON SUNDAY



Advises Life of Adventure

The spiritual neutral who is intrenched
in himself was decried by Dr. Rufus M.
Jones in his sermon here last Sunday, “I
am calling you to a life of spiritual ad-
venture,” he said in part. “I wish we
could say of ourselves what Rupert
Brooke said of himself, ‘Now God be
thanked who matched us with this
hour.’ ”

Intellectual conclusions are the great-

est difficulties, but there are none in the

way of following Christ, according to
Dr. Jones. Diogenes, “the enfant terri-
ble of Greek philosophy,” refuted ‘am-
bulando” Zeno’s philosophical conclusion
that one cannot walk across the floor.

CAMPUS WAR WORK

Wool at fifty cents a hank for white
and fifty-five cents for grey or khaki has
been placed on sale at the Red Cross
workroom.

The appeal from Camp Meade for a
hundred sweaters has been taken up by
the Red Cross and Allied Relief Depart-
ment, and everyone has been asked to
coéperate so that they may be sent be-
fore Christmas.

The sophomores have voted to regu-
late their attendance at the Red Cross
Work Room by schedule. Lists will be
signed in advance and captains chosen
to see that a full squad turns out each
time,

Knitting machine instructors are at
the workroom every evening from 7.30 to
10 to teach anyone who wishes to learn.

Soup is being sold in the halls after
water polo for the aanenie Friendship
War Fund.

Nine dollars has been netted for war
relief by the sale of flower cards. M.
Littell '20 is in charge.

Three dozen T-Shirts have been sold
by the firm in Pembroke East.

The canvass for the Armenians has
been postponed on account of the drive
for the Students’ Friendship War Fund.

French Christmas cards will be on sale
this week for the benefit of the Father-
less Children of France. Announcement
of the time and place wil! be made later.
Red Cross Christmas seals will also be
soid.

A second collection of old leather arti-
cles for soldiers’ waistcoats will be made
after Christmas. L. Davis °20 is in
charge.

No more sponges and 4 x 4 compresses
such as have been made at the workroom
all this year, is the verdict of the Red
Cross. Irrigation pads and wipes of the
old double turned pattern will be folded
at the workroom.

More stars are to be added to the serv-
ice flag on Taylor for other members of
the college community now in service.

too, is the fidelity of presentation in Clif-

“The work of Joseph Pennell, to which
the whole rotunda is given up, does not
represent pictures to hang on the wall,
but book illustrations to be kept in a port-
folio, looked at, and put away again.
Confessedly journalistic, the collection,
by its attempt to interest the public in
war work, is removed from djscussion as
a work of art and resolves itself into a
Sunday-school tract, with an introduction
by H, G. Wells.

“With the regular exhibition was shown
the work of the summer school at Chester
Springs. Without a warning it was diili-
cult to know which was the work of the
summer school and which that of the
Academy—which,_of course,is the worst
thing I could say of the exhibition and
which I do not think is undeserved”,

Miss King is speaking to-day in Chi-
cago before the Fortnightly Club at its
annual open meeting. Her subject is,
“The Way. of St. James”, based on her
travels in Spain.



Two Preparedness Courses Arranged

Courses in typewriting and shorthand
began last Tuesday, in response to a re-
quest from ten students to H. Wortman
’20, chairman of the Committee on Pre-
paredness Courses, appointed by the Un-
dergraduate Association. The classes are
taught by S. Jelliffe ’°17, and are open to
all desiring to enter.

The charges for the typewriting course
are $14, including the rent of a _ type-
writer; those for the shorthand, $7. The
schedule is: Typewriting, Wednesday, 8

A LITTLE ALCOHOL BENEFICIAL

Describes Research to Science Club

In an informal address at the first meet- |
ing of the Science Club last Thursday,
Mrs. Arlitt, Associate in Educational Psy- |
chology, presented the results of her in-

vestigations on the problem whether a
feeble-minded stock could be set up by the |
use of alcohol. White rats were the stock |

used in her experiments.
Mrs. Arlitt found that a very small

amount of alcohol produces supernormal
rats, indicating that in the right degree
the stimulant is beneficial. Where more

was taken the stock became so degen- |
erate that in one experiment, where the |
offspring of the non-alcoholic rat took ten
seconds to find its way out of a maze,

that of the alcoholic rat took in asia |

cases twenty minutes.
Mrs. Arlitt expects to publish an ac-
count of her research later.

Dr. Henry D. Dakin, co-worker with Dr.
Alexis Carrel in the Carrel-Dakin ant |

hypochlorite of lime, has refused to speak
before the Science Club, as he expects to



go abroad shortly.

For the last three years operas by Gil-
bert and Sullivan have been given by the

its chief attraction, an out-of-door setting,

of singing in the open air.

maids. The committee in charge prom-
ises a Christmas tree, and invites stu-
dents to attend.

Sewing and knitting for the Red Cross
will be the program for the maids’
classes this year instead of reading and

PHILADELPHIA ALUMNAE HEAR OF
WAR COUNCIL FROM CHAIRMAN



The Bryn Mawr College community
was represented by Virginia Kneeland,
chairman of the War Council, at a lunch-
eon of the Philadelphia Branch of the
Alumnae Association last Saturday. Miss
Kneeland explained the work of the War
Council and introduced her audience to
the bulletin got out by the Department of
Education.

Miss Ehlers presented the Bryn wine
| patriotic farm as a project which the
alumnae should finance; and Miss Martha
_Thomas depicted. the favorable attitude
/of the majority of the alumnae to the
| proposed Service Corps.

Tells of Reconstruction Work

The utter uselessness of the non-
French-speaking “handy woman” in
French reconstruction work was brought
out by Mr. Henry Scattergood in an ad-
dress describing the Friends’ relief or-
ganization, which forms a bureau under
the Red Cross. Women are needed chiefly
as doctors to care for refugee women and
children, he said. A less spectacular
form of work is open to them in better-
| ing the conditions of the 11,000 dependent
| Tefugees crowded in the slums of Paris.
By a French law the family of a soldier
| cannot be turned out of a house it occu-
pied at the beginning of the war, hence
the quarters accessible to the refugees
are indescribably squalid.

Relief work in the ruined villages does
' not aim “to put France back on the map,”
but to rebuild the individual houses of
families desiring to return, Mr. Scatter-
good explained. Some are unwilling to
‘have their homes restored, preferring to
wait till they get their indemnity from the
| government.

STUDENTS HELPED TO SOCIAL WORK
BY I. C. S. A., SAYS MISS TUTTLE
Describing the work of other colleges

along the line of Bryn Mawr’s Com-

munity Center, Miss Florence Tuttle,
secretary of the Intercollegiate Commu-
nity Service Association, spoke at an in-
formal tea given in the Denbigh sitting
room last Friday by the Social Service

Committee of the Christian Association.

“The community spirit is latent in

jevery man and woman, but it takes the

appropriate stimulus to bring it out,”
Miss Tuttle declared. This stimulus is
offered to undergraduates in the-I. C. S.
A., which aims to bring them into touch
with social work in their own neighbor-
hood and help them to openings con-

‘genial to them. The Association's set-

tlement houses in the large cities are, in
turn, made possible by the dues from the
college chapters.

Whether Bryn Mawr shall continue as
a chapter under the I. C. S, A. by pay-
ing its dues of $75 is under consideration.

COLLEGE LEARNING THRIFT



Committee Pushes Sale of Baby Bonds

“No student should be without a thrift
certificate and no home without a baby
bond”! is the belief of the members as
well as the captain of the Liberty Loan
department, which has been doing a thriv-
ing business in the sale of the new loan-
lets outside the dining-room doors each
evening.

A table in Taylor will be set up next
week. Meanwhile the sales are being
made by halls, Denbigh leading at the
time of going to press with $46 worth.
In some of the halls the maids have
shown an interest, and in all cases the
investments, though not large, have been
encouraging. :

Stump speeches to initiate the cam-
paign were made last week at dinner by
A. MacMaster, A.B. '17, in Rockefeller;
C. Dodge "18, in Pembroke; A. Moore '19,
in Denbigh; E. Davis '20, in Radnor; and

| “Six Students Go Up For First Tae
The observance of ce of “oral” singing in

Rockefeller instead of in Pembroke |
marked a departure from tradition in the

celebration of the second Senior exami-
nation in French last week. “Driven out,
root and stem”, from Pembroke on ac-
‘count of the wear and tear of the crowds
on the stairway, 1918 rose to the situa-
tion in an appropriate parody of “Over
There”.

Forty-two out of the class of sixty-
eight took the one-hour test Saturday
morning. Six Seniors, those disqualified
from the previous examination on ac-
-count of not having finished their summer
reading, took it for the first time and one
‘Senior, a member of 1917, took it for the
fourth and tast time. The latter passed
French on her first trial, but the examina-
tion was cancelled because it was taken
more than a year before graduation.

As before, three passages were set for
translation. The permanent committee
of Dr. Beck, Dean Maddison, and Miss
Donnelly, will correct the papers.



M. MARTIN YOUNGEST DELEGATE —
Representatives of Bryn Mawr Faculty
and Students at Suffrage Convention
At the National Woman’s Suffrage Con.
vention being held in Washington this
week, Bryn Mawr is unofficially repre-



sented by President Thomas, who is |
there for the week, by Dr. Marion Parris ie
Smith, professor of economics, who at: |
tended Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
and by M. Martin '19, who leaves for |
Washington to-day as the youngest dele- |
gate from Massachusetts.

The passage of the Federal Amend-
ment enfranchising women is the chief |
business before the convention. A day |
will be devoted to the discussion of war |

relief.

Bryn Mawr Student on Way to France |

M. Watriss ex-’19 sailed on the Rocham-
beau a few weeks ago to do reconstruc-
tion work in France. She expects to
be sent out from Paris, where she will
have her headquarters with Mrs. Nina
Duryea, on relief visits to villages in
northern and eastern France.

From June to October she took a
nurses’ training course, especially short-
ened for college women, at the Presby-
terian Hospital in New York, and was the
first member of the class to be entrusted
with a patient.

A post has been offered her in Mrs.
Monroe’s Hospital at Neuilly, where she |
may spend part of the winter.

Details of War Risk Act
(Continued from page 1)

should he be totally or partially disabled.
These “compensation provisions’, named
so by reason of their resemblance to
Workmen’s Compensation Acts, are in-
tended to do away once and for all with
the pension system and its attendant
abuses.

“Finally, the Act provides that in order
to enable the man or his family to live
more comfortably than the compensation |
allowances would permit, insurance may
,be taken out up to the amount of $10,000,
payable to the man in the event of total
disability and to his family in the event
of his death. The government
rate is considerably less than the normal
peace rate.

Soldiers Make Patriotic Response

“The response made by the men at
Camp Travis, Texas, some 30,000 in num- |
ber, was most encouraging, and at the
time of my departure as much as $90,-
000,000 insurance had been taken out in |
sums averaging about $8500. Similar |
sults were obtained at Fort Sam lcaitis |
Altogether the spirit of the new National |
Army in its response to the government's |
demands upon its pay, as earlier in re-|
sponse to the Liberty Loan campaign, |
was such as might well disprove the fears |
of those who looked for patriotism only
from a volunteer army’.

| tales, dnd formerly professor at the

University of Rennes, spoke on “Le

Geography, said M. Le Braz, has much
to do with the advanced state of France’s
civilization. The division of the coun-
try into provinces according to natural
boundaries has fostered culture. In the
different parts of France the character
of the people is widely divergent, yet
this variation is a source of strength,
not weakness, for all are bound together
by a common love of “la douce France,”
the country whose spirit is one of affec-

must be found. That the whole alum-
ne Association be asked to be responsible
for the farm’s finances is one plan, An-
other proposal, coming from the alumne
most actively connected with the West
Chester experiment, Miss Mary Nearing,
is to run the farm on a codperative basis
and to give the workers, whether alumne
or undergraduates, a +. direct financial in-
terest.

A new group of supporters has ap-
peared in the Philadelphia Branch of the
Alumnee, who, after hearing Miss Ehler’s
account of the farm at a meeting last
Saturday, expressed by a sense of the
meeting their desire to encourage a
Bryn Mawr war garden.

Nearer Land Means More Crops

In the hope of securing land near
enough the college to be worked by the
students in the spring and fall, and thus
to insure the advantage of early and late
crops, the Food Production Department is
investigating Bryn Mavr real estate.

Prospects for farm hands are bright.
“There should be no dearth of farm
labor”, said Miss Ehlers, reckoning on the
canvass made before Thanksgiving,
which resulted in a list of almost two
hundred possible workers.

The exact figures for last summer can-
not be made out until all the farm prod-
ucts have been disposed of. Rough esti-
mates indicate a loss of $3000. The in-
itial capital was about $6700. This year
an investment of $8000 is needed, the in-
crease over last year to cover we addi-
tional expense. of treasurer and business
Manager, whose services were volun-
teered last summer by the comptroller
and business manager of the eollege, Mr.
Hurst and Miss Watson.

The above loss in dollars and cents
was anticipated by those who undertook
the farm and does not; they feel, affect
the success of the experiment in accom-
plishing its end, increased production of
food in time of war.

evening in Taylor Hall.
A group of Russtan songs by modern

“oo was received with especial en-

thusiasm, Mr. Warlich giving the Eng-
lish translation before each one. The
lack of German music in the program was
only partially made up for by the inser-
an old Ger-
man folk song, as an encore.
Shakespeare Put to Music

Two sonnets: “When to the sessions
of sweet silent thought”, and “What is
your substance’? set to music by an
American, Robert de Bruce, were sung
for the first time by Mr. Warlich and en-
cored by “O Mistress Mine”, from Twelfth
Night. Interesting chiefly as a technical
experiment, the sonnets lacked the fire
and zest in interpretation which marked
the other numbers on the program.

Voice Wonderfully Flexible

The extraordinary flexibility of War-
lich’s voice and the exquisite nicety of
his diction enabled him to handle with
equal mastery the light and airy type of
song exemplified by “Au Claire se la
Lune” and the 17th century drinking
song, “Vive Henri Quatre”, full of rois-
tering humor. In both cases an at-
mosphere is created and the tone of the
piece struck with faultfess accuracy.
This artistic perfection showed to partic- |
ular advantage in the “Return .of the.
Gods”, by the American, Walter Rumme},
which might well have been written as a |
processional for the jade idols in Dun- |
sany’s “Gods of the Mountain’; and in |
the Russian folk song “Village Fool in

least a trace of barbarity in the Russian
nature.
