TELLS OF DEATH OF RASPUTIN AS
RELATED TO HIM BY MURDERER



Mr. Whittemore to Speak Next Week on
Russia

“The Mystery of the Russian Charac-
ter” is the subject of an address which
will probably be given on January 17th
by Mr. Thomas Whittemore, of the Com-
mittee of Relief for War Orphans in Pe-
trograd. The lecture will be under the
Red Cross,and Allied Relief Committee
of the War Council.

One of the stories which Mr. Whitte-
more tells is of the murder of Rasputin,
which was described to him at first hand
by the man who accomplished it. The

black priest, who was reported to have}.

a charmed life, failed to succumb to a
deadly poison, given him in a glass of

_wine, and did not fall immediately even

when he was shot. The murderer was
at first imprisoned, but later released, at
the time of the revolution.

Mr. Whittemore, before the war, was
Associate Professor of English at Har-
vard. His interest in archwology took
him, in 1914, to Egypt, where he was ex-
cavating when war was declared. He
went immediately into Russia and there
organized his committee to relieve the
suffering of the children in the capital.
Mrs. Ralph Adams Cram is at the head
of the committee in Boston.

There is a translation by Mr. Whitte-
more from the Russian in the January
Atlantic Monthly. He will speak several
times during the month in and about
Philadelphia.

GAIETY AT COMMUNITY CENTER

Besides the children’s Christmas fes-
tivities, a party with singing and games
was given a week ago Monday at the
Community Center by the men's Italian
class for their teachers. The small boys’

‘gym club celebrated next day with a

marshmallow roast.
The Mothers’ Club met last Thursday
to hear a Chinese speaker.

Is America on the verge of committing
the unpardonable sin? Major Robert
Davis, of the Red Cross, just returned
after two years with the American
troops in France, raised this issue in a
forceful sermon last Sunday in chapel.

The New Testament mentions a sin
which is unforgivable, Major Davis said.
“The evidence is that this is the sin of
turning back to the ol mall life after
catching a glimpse of ething bigger.
This was the sin of Lot’s wife, who pre-
ferred shrivelling to expansion, and of
the Scribes, who came down and looked
Jesus over and then went back to Jeru-
salem.

“America for two years has_ been
growing bigger and better. But the war
ended too soon for us. We were
just about to learn some of the things
only learned by suffering. We had begun
to learn what little is needed to be really
blessed. It looks as if in about eight
months we shall be right back where
we were in 1916,

“Our men have gone over to France.
We sent them there. Two hundred thou-
sand will never return. They died hoping
for a better America. If we slip back, as
we are fast doing, into the old easy, pre-
war days,—like Christ they will have
died in vain.”

Tells Anecdotes of Americans

“If it hadn’t been for the American
spirit of ‘clean it up!’ the war would be
going on yet,” Major Davis remarked to
the large audience, which remained after
chapel to hear him tell informally of his
experience with the American . troops.
“The men’s eagerness and sense of humor
never failed.

“I came home the other day on a ship
with 3000 wounded. As we entered New
York Harbor and passed the Statue of
Liberty, one of the men shouted, ‘Bye,
bye, old girl. If you want to see me again
you gotta turn round.’”

Another of Major Davis's stories was
of a negro who, when sent out to get a
German prisoner, returned without his
man. “I had one,” he explained to his
captain, “but he began tellin’ me of his
wife and his little girl and his old father
—doggone, Captain, I had to kill that man
to keep him from breaking my heart.”

Speaking of the great number of
Franco-American marriages, Major Davis
stated that since the 22d of July he had
been sitting on a constant court martial
for them. As assistant provost martial in
Paris he had charge of 200,000 militarized
civilians.

Major Davis’s commission is in the
French Red Cross. He has also been as-
sociated with the British Army and with
the American Red Cross. Last March he
had charge of a Red Cross zone from
Montdidier to Chateau-Thierry, with head-
quarters at Compiegne. He expects to re-
turn soon to France to stay indefinitely.

Cyril Maude to Speak at College

Cyril Maude, who is playing this win-
ter in The Saving Grace, will speak here
later under the auspices of the Red Cross
Committee. He was prevented from com-
ing this week because his company was
sent to Boston.
General Maude, who lost his life in the

Mesopotamian campaign, was Cyril





















The Conference of the Christian As-
sociation cabinet with representatives
from four other colleges was held last
night in the graduate club room in Den-
bigh. Guests at the conference were
presidents of the different Christian
Associations, Miss Emily Frank from
Vassar, with another member of the
board; Miss Eleanor Linton from Welles-
ley, with another member of the Welles-
ley board; Miss Helen Jones from Mt.
Holyoke, and two representatives from
the Smith Christian Association.

Among other matters the conference
discussed to what extent they, as cabinet
members, were responsible for the eth-
ical standards of the college, whether ad-
vertising is as necessary for the C. A. as
for war work, how many and what kind
of meetings should be held, and what
should be the qualifications for election to
the cabinet.

A tea was held for the guests from 4.30
until 6.00, in K. Stiles’ room, Merion.
Members of the cabinet were invited, the
Silver Bay delegation, graduates from the
colleges represented, and anyone who
knew the representatives.

RUSSIAN STAR GIVES SONG RECITAL
AS FIRST CONCERT OF YEAR



Mme. Niessen-Stone Plans Opening of

Vocal Classes

The first concert of the year was given
by Mme. Niessen-Stone, formerly of the
Metropolitan Opera Company, last Satur-
day evening, in Taylor under the auspices
of the Music Committee. Mme. Niessen-
Stone, who has studied abroad and sung
in European opera, was for nine years
leading teacher at the Institute of Mu-
sical Art in New York. She announces
the opening of vocal classes, and will
come here or to Philadelphia to give
lessons.

Mme. Niessen-Stone, a Russian born,

sang the Russian numbers on the pro-
gram in the original, previously translat-
ing them into English. The words of
“My Native Land” are by Tolstoi, and de-
scribe Russia in a series of noun-phrases
without using verbs.
Anyone who wishes to enter Mme.
Niessen-Stone’s classes may secure infor-
mation and register through I. Arnold ’20,
Pembroke East. Marcella Sembrich and
Dr. Frank Damrosch endorse her as a
teacher.

“I wish today to commemorate the
splendid service given to the College by
a former Trustee and Director, Alexamler
C. Wood, of New Jersey, who died last’
Saturday night,” said President Thomas,

speaking Monday morning in chapel.
“Mr. Wood resigned from the Board two
years ago when he reached the age of
seventy-five, after twenty years in the
service of the College, during fourteen of
which he was a member of the Committee
on Buildings and Grounds and for eight
years the chairman of the committee.
The College owes much to his fajrness,
good judgment and expert knowledge of
building.”

To the devotion, open-mindedness and
vision of Mr. Wood and Mr. David Scull,
the first Chairman of the Building Com-
mittee, President Thomas attributed a
large part of Bryn Mawr’s success in
architecture and in the placing of its
buildings.

“Of all devoted and- unselfish services
the service rendered by the trustees of
colleges like Bryn Mawr is the most self-
sacrificing,” President Thomas said. “At
Bryn Mawr we have been blessed from
the very beginning—I can speak because
I have known all of the trustees as well
as the founder of the college—I believe
that no college has had men of wider
vision connected with it, men with no
other ends to serve except the good of the
college.”

“Interest in education—in the develop-
ment of one’s own college first of all and
then of other colleges, is one of the high-
est outside interests a business or a pro-
fessional man can have in the United
States,”) President Thomas said. “It is
an intete ll of idealism, For many
men and ‘women it means the hope and
faith that the next generation will solve
the problems their generation has failed
to solve. It is an interest full of romance,
In our colleges today the knights of the
modern world are forging their armor.”

IAN HAY WILL SPEAK ON “VIC-
TORY AND BEYOND”

Lecture Saturday in Gymnasium

Major Ian Hay Beith, now on tour in
this country for the third time, will speak
in the gymnasium Saturday night at
eight o'clock on “Victory and Beyond?”
Travelling under his own management,
Major Beith, after covering expenses is
giving to war charities all the profits of
his lectures. From this source he has
distributed in the last two years over
$15,000 among a dozen American and
British war relief organizations.

Major Beith was asked by the Y. M.
C,. A. to write for American soldiers and
sailors visiting England a brief explana-
tion of some of the elements in English
life which they might not understand.
This article, which is given to each man
sent to England, is reprinted in the
Ladies’ Home Journal for January under
the title “What You May Not Know
About Us.”

The lecture is under the auspices of
the class of 1920 for their Service Corps
Fund. Tickets, $1 and $.75 for outsiders,
and $.75 and 3.50 for members of the
college, may be had from Marian Gree
‘20, Pembroke West









Maude’s brother.

“it Pays to Advertise”

From Freshman show to Senior play
every class appreciates: the importance of
- vigorous advertising. Yet a college asso-
ciation, in making its plans, often takes
matters into its own hands and leaves its
- members in the dark.

When the Christian Association this
week held an intercollegiate cabinet con-
ference, with representatives from Vas-
sar, Smith and Wellesley, little if any
effort was made to give it general pub-
licity. Recently new agreements have
been made with the College authorities by
both the Self-Government and Athletic
Associations, concerning which the mem-
bers were not consulted or even in-
formed.

“But no one comes to meetings when
they are held,” the presidents complain.
“The few who do, suffer by being sent to
rout out a quorum.” In an age of de-
mocracy, however, it is only fair to hold
meetings for the sake of a wide-awake
few whose interest is active.



A Change for the Good

In spite of the passing of two pay days
without the collection of athletic dues,
many are only dimly aware of the benefi-
cent arrangement made by the College
with the Athletic Association in regard to
expenses for equipment and grounds.
For years the undergraduates had paid to
the Athletic Association, from the allow-
ances given them by their parents, dues
of a dollar a semester, a greater part of
which was in turn handed over by the
treasurer to the College, in payment for
its care of the athletic fields.

This year, under the new agreement,
the dues have been paid direct by the
parents to the College. A great deal of
routine work for the Association treas-
urer has been eliminated, with no addi-
tional trouble or expense to the parents—
excepting as the increased price of labor
has necessitated higher dues.

The small incidental expenses of the
Association are provided for by the Col-
lege, as well as the care of the fields
guaranteed. Best of all, one of the an-
noyingly inevitable drains on the limited
undergraduate income has been done
away.

RED CROSS BEGINS NEXT WEEK;
WOOL SUPPLY MUST BE FINISHED
Pledging Red Cross work, for which all

classes voted, will probably go into ef-
fect next Monday. The College Red
Cross has received 1010 comfort kits to
be filled. Garment making will be con-
tinued under a reorganization depart-
ment, under which children’s garments
may be a part of the program.
Although the national Red Cross has
issued orders to “stack needles,” the Col-
lege will continue knitting until its wool
supply is exhausted. All sweaters made
from wool taken out before vacation must
be turned in to G. Hess '20 before Janu-
ary 20th.



Where Wool Is Exhausted Women May

“Stack Needles”
Washington, Dec. 28.—‘‘America’s army
of women knitters, who did not cease
work with the signing of the armistice,
today were ordered by the Red Cross to
“stack needles,” their task accomplished.
An inventory of articles in reserve
shows sufficient on hand to meet the
needs of fighting men in this country and
abroad and of Red Cross Relief Commis-
sions. Knitted articles now in the mak-
ing will be finished and turned in to the
854 Red Cross chapters, which will issue
no more yarn.

More than 10,000,000 sweaters, socks,
muffiers, helmets and wristlets were
turned out in the seventeen months pre-
ceding the overthrow of the Central Pow-
ers. Virtually every man in the army
received woolen accessories fashioned by
the tireless fingers of thousands of
women who chose that method of aiding
to win the war.’—New York Times.

Let them draw together in one
common cause, because they have learned
‘how much they all agree and how insig-

“Facing this coming decade with its
unbounded opportunities to fight for
things worth while, I should desire before
all else to be a Christian minister. But
to be a contented minister, a conventional

has. been called as pastor.

Dr. Fosdick is the author of The Mean-

the Red Cross room: A captain, elected
in each hall will see that everyone who
ean signs up for one or more hours of
work a week. Those who fail to do the
work pledged will pay a fine of ten cents
and make up the time the following week.

BRITISH ELECTION RESULTS
FORECAST BY MRS. PANKHURST

“The British elections have turned out
exactly as Mrs. Pankhurst predicted to
me last summer,” President Thomas com-
mented in chapel Saturday morning.
“The women of Great Britain have stood
squarely behind Lloyd-George, who was
pledged to ‘peace with victory’; Asquith,
who showed himself against a vigorous
prosecution of the war by opposing a
united Allied command, has been discred-
ited and defeated; Ramsay MacDonald
and Arthur Henderson, who had suc-
ceeded in capturing the leadership of the
Labor party, failed to be elected to Par-
liament through their pacifist and de-
featist policies.”

Of the fourteen women who ran for
Parliament Countess Markievicz was the
only one to be elected, and she as a Sinn
Feiner will not sit in the British Com-
mons. Mrs. Oliver Strachey (Rachel Cos-
tello), graduate student here in 1908-09,
who ran for the Brentford and Chiswick
section of Middlesex, was defeated by
Lieutenant-Colonel Grant Horgen, a Ca-
nadian and Coalition Unionist, who polled
2077 votes to Mrs. Strachey’s 1263. Mrs.
Pankhurst’s daughter, Christobel, was de-
feated by only a few votes.

CONINGSBY DAWSON MARRIED
Captain Coningsby Dawson, two days
after receiving his commission, was mar-
ried to Mrs. John J. Wright-Clark, of
Newark, who attended the reception
given here at the time of his lecture.
The engagement was announced Christ-
mas Eve.

At the wedding, a week ago Saturday
morning, the ceremony was performed by
Captain Dawson’s father, Rev. W. J. Daw-
son, and Dr. Hugh Black, of New York.
Only the families were present.

Captain and Mrs. Dawson will sail in
two weeks for London, where they will
live.

SWIMMERS’ HEALTH WILL BE
SAFEGUARDED

To enforce the old rule against stu-
dents with colds or sore throats entering
the pool this year everyone will be re-
quired, before entering, to sign a state-
ment that she is free from all symptoms.
Thus, as soon as a swimmer is reported
ill, it will be possible to empty and disin-
fect the pool.



NOTICE
Students wishing to change their
courses next semester are required to
consult Dean Taft in office hours some
time between now and the end of mid-



years.













Miss Dame Stresses Importance of
- Physical Fitness”
14 Via Sardegna, Rome,
| Oats 87, 1918.
My dear Miss Reilly:

Having now been in Rome for nearly
three weeks, I think the Bryn Mawr
Service Corps may like an account of my
adventures thus far,

I have so often thought, since leaving
New York, of the health certificate which
the Corps requires of applicants for serv-
ice overseas. My physician signed a blank
testifying to my ability to endure hard-
ships of food, cold, fatigue, long hours,
and continuous standing on my feet. I
can truthfully say that already I have
been put to the test in nearly all these re-
spects. Travelling in Europe now is a far
cry from what it was in times of peace.

I believe that, as a rule, college women
adapt themselves quite readily to special
emergencies and physical discomforts,
but not all of them are so built. She who
cannot exist without hot baths or butter,
who could endure neither sleeping with
three roommates in a stateroom with
closed porthole, nor the alternative of
spending the night on the hard floor of a
damp deck, or who is unable to carry all
her hand baggage from her taxi to the
train, or is too conventional to walk up
the Champs-Elysees with an unwrapped
loaf of bread under her arm has no place
in Europe during. war-time.

Travelled Two Nights in a Day Coach

Our journey from Paris to Rome fur-
nished a concrete illustration of some of
the inconveniences of travel. Being un-
able to obtain sleeping cars, our party sat
bolt upright in our compartments for two
nights in succession. The first night we
were congealed with cold, although
wrapped in our faithful steamer blan-
kets; the second, we were crowded with
éight people in a space intended for six.
Add to this that we were obliged to carry
with us from Paris two days’ rations, be-
cause of lack of dining-cars, and that on
the last morning of our journey, after a
night of many tunnels, we discovered that
there was no running water on the train,
so that we were obliged either to go un-
washed or to perform our ablutions under
a spigot, outside of a railway station, and
you will have some notion of the difficul-
ties of our journey.

However, a game group of people like
ourselves can smile at such discomforts
in the retrospect, and dwell only on the
' absorbingly interesting life which a so-
journ abroad at this time connotes.

Chief Work Has Been Translating

Our office—that of the Department of
Tuberculosis of the American Red Cross
Commission to Italy—has speedily been
placed on a working basis, and we are
there on a regular schedule of hours,
from 9 to 12.30 and 2.30 to 6.30. I have
myself been steadily busy, almost from
the first day in Rome. Whereas my posi-
tion, in plain American, is the modest one
of “filing clerk,” I have been mentioned
in an Italian newspaper as having the
sonorous title of “Segretaris del Proto-
collo,” a dignity to which I shall try to
live up.

As yet I do comparatively little filing,
for the obvious reason that there is not
much to be filed. My time is occupied
mainly with translating Italian letters, re-
ports and periodical articles into English.
This work accomplishes the double end
of helping such members of our unit as
are more accomplished professionally
than they are linguistically, and of adding
appreciably to my own Italian vocabu-
lary. I also have charge of checking up



ir | language is one of great concern to all
1e taking lessons of a Berlitz School teacher,
| who comes to the office and has classes



gs oo ts a a the

of four to six people three times a week.
We are permitted to do this on office
time. In addition, I have made a per:
sonal arrangement with an Italian lady,
herself a teacher of French, by which we
exchange conversation twice a week, as
her zeal for learning English equals mine
for acquiring her language. We are fol-
lowing the unwritten rule, “When in
doubt, try French,” and we thus get on
very well indged.

Do Not “Do as the Romans Do”

There are in our unit thirty-eight people,
nearly equally divided as to men and
women. We are a motley crowd, doctors,
nurses, social workers, journalists, ste-
nographers and educators. We come from
eleven different States. Among the
women Miss Laws and myself represent
Bryn Mawr College, and others come
from Mount Holyoke, Oberlin, Ohio, Wes-
leyan, Earlham and Western Reserve.

Some of the women, including myself,
are living in the Amcross Club house,
started since our arrival by the American
Red Cross to meet a difficult housing
problem. It is a delightful house, with
gardens, front and back, and large bed-
rooms, with comfortable beds. We are
to disregard, to a certain extent, the rigid
command, “When in Rome do as the
Romans do,” for we are to have hot baths,
without extra charge, steam heat in our
bed-rooms, food from the American com-
missary and cereal for breakfast.

In my next I shall hope to tell of the
further progress of the work of our unit.

Very truly yours,
Katharine Dame.

Miss Reichenbach Sent from Paris as
Hospital Hut Worker

November 13, 1918.

My dear Miss Reilly:

soe Two weeks in Paris passed
all too quickly for me,.as even the war
could not spoil the interest and beauty
of that city. In fact it impressed me
more than ever before, and the longer I
stayed there the more “war enthusiasm”
I seemed to feel, and the more anxious I
was to begin work. Miss Evans of the
Refugee Bureau gave me a little pre-
liminary training and let me investigate
a few special refugee cases for the Paris
bureau by way of apprenticeship, while
waiting for the powers that be to decide
what to do with me.

The Zone Commander decided that
there was greater need for hospital hut
workers than for social workers just now
in this zone, so I was sent here to Le
Mans as assistant to Miss Steele who
had just gone about a week before to
start a hut in a big camp hospital.’ This
is, I understand, a temporary arrange-
ment, and I am to return to the refugees
when the reconstruction work starts in
the war zone, at least I hope so. I was
very glad to get down to real work finally,
but sorry to get out of touch with the
French people, as their spirit and courage
are such that it is an inspiration to work
with them, The refugees are so pathet-
ically happy over the possibility of re-
turning home, even though that home is
a hopeless desert, and grateful for any
little thing the Red Cross could do for
them. They were so interesting to talk
to, one could not really call it work to go
to see them and investigate their re-
quests for help. The hardest part of it,

as of most other war work, especially
over here, is the fact that one always
wants to do so much more than is possi-
ble. One sees such tremendous needs
and seems to be doing so little. "



tients are in barracks in the court. Most
of the patients are sick, not weeded. and
therefore apt to be disappointed over
their “hard luck” and in need of diver-
sion. There is no regular hut or space
for any kind of entertainment yet, but
Miss Steele had started a little canteen in
a partitioned off end of a floorless shed
and there we daily sell all tobacco and
candy the commissary will let us have,
and could dispose of more. We have a
crowd all the time and will be glad to
have the use of a whole big tent that
Major Hooker, of the hospital, and Cap-
tain Mason, of the Red Cross, are going
to put up for us tomorrow. We can make
a sort of clubroom of it.

It is penetratingly cold here, with
enough rain and wind to make us realize,
as we never could at home, the hardships
the soldiers have to endure, and to want
to do anything to make them more com-
fortable. In the absence of hut enter-
tainments we have spent a good deal of
time in the wards, distributing papers,
magazines, comfort bags, and other Red
Cross gifts. They are little things, but
the men’s response makes us feel that
they are worth while. Many who have

for weeks, and they keep us busy. So
our work here has possibilities and will
continue a long time in spite of the fight-
ing being over; in fact, many here seem —
to feel that the greatest work of the Red |
Cross women is yet to come.

Celebration of Armistice

"There has been wild excitement here
over the armistice, as you doubtless know
from the papers. The picturesque old
town is a mass of flags, and day before
yesterday one could hardly get through
the crowds of yelling people running arm
in arm down the streets, waving flags.
Everyone, crippled soldiers, women in
black, all joined in the most spontaneous
celebration I ever saw. All around us
we heard the cry, “La guerre est finie,”
varied occasionally by “Germany finish,”
when they tried to talk English. They
feel so grateful to America that it is
sometimes embarrassing, and keep say-
ing over and over that they never could
have won if we had not come over in
force to help.

I cannot begin to thank you enough
for giving me this wonderful opportunity
of coming over here,—I have been glad
of it every minute since I started, and
am trying my level best to work hard
and uphold the “glory of Bryn Mawr.”

Lucie Reichenbach.

the life of a nation or of a person than

involves taking a definite side in the
game of life and playing hard; but it
brings the peace of God because we are
on the side of the Prince of Peace. In
this game we must first defend the goal—
righteousness, truth and love. Faithful-
ness in the routine of daily life, corre-
sponding to the steady work of the half-
backs in hockey, is also essential to vic-
tory. This line has three divisions: one’s
special job, which must be held down;
being a good all-around member of the
community; and living as a human being
among other human beings. . . . And
besides doing our ordinary duty we must
go the last long mile of scoring goals.

“We must experience and know re-
ligion; it is not merely an intellectual
act.”

LUCY EVANS MARRIED TO DR. CHEW



Wedding Takes Place in Studio

The marriage of Lucy Evans ‘18 and
Dr. Samuel Chew, Associate Professor of
English, took place in the studio of the
bride’s father in New York City, Saturday
Pevening, December 21st, before a niche in
which Mr. Evans’s latest sculpture,
“Moweli and the Panther,” was placed.

Miss June Evans, the bride’s sister, was
her only attendant. Mr. Chew’s best man
was Captain Thomas Ruth, Lecturer in
Latin at Bryn Mawr in 1916-17. M.
O'Connor 18 was among the guests, and
eaught the bride’s bouquet.

Mrs. Chew was taken ill with influenza
on the wedding trip and is now recover-
ing at her father’s home in New York.

SPRING STREET THANKS BRYN
MAWR FOR CHRISTMAS
STOCKINGS

“The Christmas contribution from
Bryn Mawr was very heartily appreciated
at Spring Street,” writes Miss Wiggin.
“The stockings were delivered in the
homes of the children. Over fifty fami-
lies received gifts from the Neighborhood
House.

“The Helping Hand Society had a spe-
cial Christmas meeting on December 23d,
and their stockings were given to them
then, and were very deeply appriciated.
The Nursery babies had a party on Christ-
mas Eve, and one evening there was a
party for their mothers with Movies.
Altogether Christmas week was most suc-
cessful, except for the fact that we



imissed Miss Applebee badly.”

“There is no more peaceful thing in

back? Never!
That is the way hundreds of college

women felt that day and will continue to
feel. After the zest of war work there is

no turning - back for her. ‘And why | turn

should she go back? All the old and]

countless new roads are open to women
today. The war has made real thinking
as necessary for the inside of a woman's
head as a hat for the outside. Luckily,
it has also made it an easier, matter to
translate thinking into action.

The Blue Triangle stands for one of
these means of translation. This is the

sign that has meant the most to women

in war work since Uncle Sam enlisted
and the Y. W. C. A. intends to have it
mean even more in reconstruction.

Under the Blue Triangle there ure
various ways of using the college wom-
an’s general and special training. Any
girl who has another language besides
English can feel it a patriotic duty to
take up work among foreign-born women
in the International Institutes. There she
can help to make the future of America.
If she is interested in social problems and
enjoys her economics, she can join our
social and recreational work among in-
dustrial women. A girl who is able to
leave her home town, can do good work
in club organization and activities in
communities affected by the war. France,
Russia, China and other lands are await-
ing the girls of America. The Y. W. C. A.
needs help in spreading their splendid
ideals to those lands. Girls with a head
for business or organization can do good
work as cafeteria directors or business
secretaries. No finer way of using a good
athletic training could be found than in
becoming a physical director or recrea-
tional leader under the Blue Triangle.
The girl with a quality for leadership and
insight into character can find inspiration
and pleasure in joining our religious
work. ;

Intensive and regular courses of train-
ing are provided in these subjects for
qualified candidates in all parts of the
country. Such a candidate for a position
in the Y. W. C. A. must have a college
education, or its equivalent in experience,
or technical training in: Household
Economy, Physical Training, Business
Training. She must be at least twenty-
two years of age and a member of a
Protestant Evangelical Church.

When you write your letter of inquiry,
address it to the Personal Bureau of the
National Board of the Y. W. C. A., 600
Lexington Avenue, New York City.

Speaking of Liysyfran
A visitor in chapel Sunday night
scanned the congregation in vain looking
for an undergraduate friend who lives in
Llysyfran. “Poor girl,” she reflected at
last, “I suppose she doesn’t get to chapel
very often—living. off campus!”

WAR POSTERS ON EXHIBITION
THIS WEEK AT THE ACADEMY

A collection of French, English and
Belgian posters and war proclamations is
on exhibition this week at the Academy

exhibition will continue.

The last two panels of Violet Oakley’s
mural paintings for the State House at
Harrisburg are on exhibition in the north
corridor. They will be removed later to
Harrisburg and placed in the Senate
Chamber, where they will be dedicated

Chance for Every Sort of Talent
With the opening of the pool, in the
near future will come the diversion of a
Booby Swimming Meet, competition in
