Only.9 per cent. of the present popula-
tion of the species are male, but no
male was ‘necessary to produce 4350

individuals in the Dalton greenhouse. ;

This array of fatherless individuals is
coincidental with the statement that
50 per cent. of the Bryn Mawr gradu-

Dr. Gray ‘Discusses ;
Naval Conference



In Tuesday Chapel Dr. Gray com-
pleted the summary of the results of
the Naval Conference. Carrying his
talk’ over from the previous time, Dr.
Gray said that the present conference
has limited England and the United
States to fifteen battleships, where the
former figure had been eighteen.
There is to be no replacement of bat-
tleships until 1936. Returning to the
Washington conference of 1922, ‘Dr.
Gray said that the ruling concerning
aircraft carriers was to stand as before,
but cruisers were not to be built over
ter thousand tons in weight. But
their number was not limited, and par-
ity became seriously endangered in
1924 an&"1925, when the output. of
cruisers, except in the United States,

was very large. Consequently at the
conference in 1927 the cruisers were
divided into two classes: those of ten
thousand tons and carrying eight-inch
guns, and those from six thousand to
« seven thousand tons and carrying six-
inch guns, Great Britain was willing
to limit the cruisers to about the num-
ber which she possessed at that mo-
ment. She did not feel that seventy
were too many for the protection of
her trade routes and for defensive pur-
poses. According to the present set-
tlement, however, she has reduced the
number to fifty.

The next question to arise at the
conference of 1927 was.that of ton-
nage. At the time our cruisers already
built amounted to seventy thousand as
against Great Britain’s three hundred
and twenty-seven thousand. Our pro-
posal was for two hundred thousand,
byt we finally agreed to four hundred
thousand. The -present.agreement is
three hundred and ‘twenty-three thou-
sand for us, and three hundred and
forty thousand for England. In 1927

College Girls Offered

Experience in Geneva





Since 1925 an unusual .oppertunity
thas been enjoyed by a limited number
of American college girls in the form
of a most interesting summer-in Gen-
eva, Switzerland.

The group is under the auspices of
Mrs. Elbert F. Baldwin, who has lived
for many..years in Geneva, where she
and her husband, formerly European
editor of the Outlook Magazine, have
many friends and contacts.

Realizing the significance of Geneva
as a radiating centre of influence along
many ‘lines,:the aim is to select ‘bout
twenty representative girls from vari-
ous ‘parts of the country, who .are
anxious for a wider knowledge of
world affairs, “to push’ back their hori-
zons,” to let them absorb as much as
they can of this rare atmosphere. Girls
from the largest Eastern colleges and
alsotfrom the West and South have
beer represented in the group, and
their response has been the best testi-
mony to the value of the summer.

Preference is given to girls below
the- senior class in order that the bene-
fit of the experience may be shared
when they return to college, as a small
contribution to the upbuilding of an
understanding aA ae attitude in
American life. "

The group travels to Europe in the
Student Third Class accomodations,

groups of threé or four in the homes

not without deriving some value from

A Worthy Cause

The calendar for the week includes a notice of a puppet show and
pantomime to be given by the children of the Thorne School on Friday
afternoon in the Music Room. As early as last year the little group of
ten-year-olds who formed the body of the Art Club. made their puppets
and planned. the entertainment, but owing to ‘the mysterious disappear-
work was halted. A second
set of dwarfs,was substituted for the first, but they too vanished, and not

weral Weeks later were-they, discovered. in,ay Santry. eap_in a dark
corner of a-closet, where some enterprising rats and sq irrels had de-
sited them after eating the heads, which were made of nuts. A number
of tribulations prevented completion of the work, and finally*the Art
Club itself was discontinued because’ of a crowded program. _

This year, however, the Library Club, in an effort to raise money
for new books, adapted Cynthia Asquith’s Story, “The Freckle,” for
pantomime, and it was decided tO finish the ‘work on the puppets-and-to:
combine the two productions. As’a result, Peggy Clarke and Lila Hill
and Janet Hart with a little group have been hard at work on Snow
White” and Thackeray’s “Rose and the Ring,” both of which will be
given Friday. The puppets were all made by the children, and the stage
frame was constructed by a small boy, George Peirce, who is also making
the tickets. In accordance with the aim of the Thorne School to encour-
age spontaneous work on the part of the children, the performance is. in
nearly every detail the plan of the children themselves, There has unfor-
tunately been little time for the drilling which niakes for-perfection,-and

The Art Department and the Library Club are dividing the door
receipts, and books will be bought by both groups, as well as much-de-
sired pictures by the Art Department. The cause is a worthy one, and
we wish the “Phebe Anna Thorners” all success in the management of
their refractory little dwarfs. :

: Toot! Toot!

Spring is’ significant in a variety of ways; we confine ourselves to
one of these: here on the Bryn Mawr campus it is heralded in a unique
and not always welcome fashion. We refer, of course, to “The Whis-
tle.’ In a community as large as ours there are inevitably a few wild
souls who have a trace of the primitive still active irt their systems, who
seem impassioned to step on every fresh blade of grass as it pushes up
its hopeful young face, ambitious to become part of God’s Green Earth.
If you feel this criminal urge, we wish to warn you. You will develop,
if you do not curb this malicious tendency, into the kind of person who
pulls cats’ tails and frightens dear old Jadies—heaven be merciful to you!

But even the dissolute and the pagan may possegs an artistic spirit.
We extend our appeal, thérefore, to include these; these in trespassing
are defiling Beauty. Also we aspire to arouse the sensibilities of the
legal-minded. ve

But if, after reading this, you feel that you do not fall within any of
these. categories, and are, therefore, privileged to’ wander whither thou
willst, we offer you an individual diagnosis. Otherwise we must abandon
you to the peril ot “The Whistle.” : aes -

The general exodus over the week-end and the subsequent return

on campus. As early as ten o'clock, the Easter bunny was out sporting to
the pipes of Pan, and festive maidens were dancing in gay abandon.

THE COLLEGE NEWS

Book Shop With Unique |
7 System Grows Rapidly



The book shop in Taylor Hall was
put under the business management of

|| Mrs. Barrington in 1921, the last year

of Miss ‘Thomas’ regime. Previous to
that time, there had been two. other
shops; one run some years’ ago in
Radnor, which offered only very limit-
ed supplies; and the other, run by
three students who were putting them-
selves through college. This latter
system was found to take a great deal
of the workers’ time, and was highly
inconvenient for the students, inas-
much as the shop .could be open only
two hours a day.

Consequently, Miss Thomas decided
to turn over the shop to someone who

tion, and planned to finance and direct
it herself. The new arrangement was
not regarded with. favor either by. the
faculty or by the student body, as it
waS@pelieved that this would take away
from three’ girls a means of support
which was doing a business of about
$8,000, although Miss Thomas gave
three new scholarships in compensa-
tion.

As a result, Mrs. Barrington found
herself practically isolated in Taylor
basement the first year of the venture.
No one wanted to offer encouragement
or appear to countenance it by dealing
there, and when forced to, people were
inclined..to. be disagreeable. She tells

on being* told that=#he did not know
the title of some abstruse book which
he wanted to purchase, told her in no
uncertain terms that she ought to.
know if she didn’t, and that he per-
sonally didn’t care to buy anything

through so stupid an agency...
This attitude soon passed, however,

light of a thriving—ecencern. In two
years it repaid the loan made by Miss
Thomas, and its net. profits have _in-
creased .with each, year. . The. year
after the debt was cancelled, a fund
was set aside for scholarships of $900,
which this year has grown to $1,486.-
98, the largest sum yet obtained, de-
spite the fact that six girls were pro-
vided for last year. The same amount
is available for refunds to students
who are members of the Co-operative
Society. The gross business done is
approximately $27,000, and the stock
is considerable.

“When I was asked to come here,”
declared Mrs. Barrington “I- was asked
to-tun-the book hop like the arts and
crafts, but it has become too utili-
tarian.”’ All the departments have
grown, \ especially the books. ° Books
outside the textbook class account for
at least 25 per cent of the total busi-
ness, or about $5,000, which is inter-
esting to compare with the, $500 ex-
pended similarly at the. University. of
Pennsylvania. There is a living inter-
est in general good books, of an un-
usual nature (best-sellers are rarely in
stock), which is’ remarkable when one
considers how limited one’s time is
at college. In addition to buying them,
a great many people take advantage
of ‘the splendid “browsing, opportunity
with no charge attached” to read the)
magazines on the floor and. the books
on the shelves.

Surprisingly enough, there \is little
profit in cigarettes, the most tadical
innovation ever introduced in ‘the
stock. Where a quarter of a million
individual cigarettes are sold, only
about $200 is cleared. Chesterfields;
Mrs.’ Barrington thinks, out of four-
teen brands, are coming up to a close
second on Luckies, although Luckies
still retain a lead of about 3000 packs.

Because: the college is small, its book
shop problems are unique. We do. not
have the lunch counter which many,
others. possess, nor do we have direct.
service as at Princeton where one pre-
sents a number at the counter, but
we stand rather in the position of a
“Piggly-Wiggly,” atid the system is
satisfactorily respected. “Moreover,”
added Mrs. Barrington, “we ate the
only ones to give back the $2,00 fees!”

‘Fhe Bryn. Mawr. book shop‘is on the}
cbmmittee of the National- Association
of College Bookshops,. which is hold-
ing a convention in Philadelphia in

tion was stretched beyond the evi-

and two doses a female.» Goldschmidt
proposed that the factors for both

The small number of chromosomes

purchasi as. well as other factors made
it possible for the first time to trace
the entire chromosomal history of an
insect. By studying their reproduction
Mrs. Schrader found that in the fe-
males~of the species self-fertilization
can occur, thereby accounting for the
seeming parthenogenesis observéd by
the Italian. The production of eggs
and sperm by the same individual at
different times is evidence that male
and female determining genes exisf in
the same individual.

Sometime or other, pure females, of
the species must have existed. In hope
of finding a geographical race in which
the condition still existed, Mrs. Sehra-
der went to Central America. A single
infection of an entirely new_ species
which has since been named Echino-
cerya anomala. It must be a group
relative to Icerya_ purchasi because
purexfemales exist which are identical
with the females of that species ex-

hermaphroditic development of Icerya
purchasi is correlated with its loss of
males.

A Spanish record of 1579 mentioned
insects which_were: boiledby- the -na-
tives in Central America to produce
wax. They were boiled in large vats
of water and a thick scum of wax

|} soon covered the vat which was used
as*varnish. A similar individual exists
Yin a collection in Berlin and is called

Laveia axin. On‘ her second trip to
Central America, Mrs. Schrader hoped
to find this procéss of varnish manu-
facture still in existence in some tribe
of natives thereby discovering another
Adana of Icerya purchasi whose fe-
male also produces wax abundantly.
After digging around host trees of the
insects. she. finally found masses of

| eggs which turned out to be the eggs

of Laveia but not Laveia axin. “

species are not completed, and Mrs.
Schrader hopes by interspecific crosses
to attain a continuous graduated scale

Bryn Mawr in Poverty

A co-operative effort to save the small
town of Brynmawr, South Wales, from
the fate of becoming utterly derelict is
being planned by its inhabitants. Bryn-
mawr stands on the northern outcrop of
the South Wales codlfields, but its best
coal is worked out, and for years it has
had no pits, although one or two levels
ate worked in a small way. The town
has acted as a dormitory, the men work-
ing in pits in other districts. Since the

closing of a number of: mines at the]:

head of the Western Valley eight years

___ ago anemployment_has grown, till now



hardly more than five hundred of Bryn-
mawr’s population of between eight thou-
sand and nine thousand are at work in
amy capacity.

Hope of aid coming from outside is
abandoned, but the spirit of self-help is
not broken and the townspeople are fa-
cing the problem of re-establishing in new
ways the prosperity that Brynmawr once
knew. It has been decided, as a first
step, to make. a detailed study of the
community and .the surrounding district
from every point of view: social, indus-
trial and physical; to examine the fac-
tors which caused the community to
come into existence, to make a survey of
present conditions, and from this to try
and work..out a policy for the future.

This work—will_be-done—by—the, people}

themselves, largely under the advice ot
Leplay House and various departments
of Aberystwyth University, with the help
of some members of the Society of
Friends.. A general committee has been
set up which has appointed various sub-
“committees, such as finance, education
and commerce. A great deal of work
has. been completed, but itis not. ex-
pected to be Sinished before the end of
the winter.

While. waiting . for the conclusion of
__this_survey various undertakings can be
started... OWigg. to good road and rail
communications Brynmawr is an excel-
fent distributing centre, with ‘ possibili-
ties for small industries. A central or-
ganization called: Brynmawr and Clydach
Valley Industries, Limited, has been set
ap to examine and obtain expert advice
regarding ‘suggested: industries, to’ raise

«capital, and_ to. advise on questions of



management. The board of this organi-
zation is composed of business men from
outside who give their services volun-
tarily. It is not proposed to invite capi-
tal in the ordinary way, but an appeal is
being made for £15,000, either by dona-
tions or in £1 shares at par with dividend
restricted to a maximum of five per
cent. Application for the registration
of the society has been made.

The industries. will be organized on co-
operative lines. The capital, will be
advanced to them in the form of a loan
from the central organization, which will
exercise control in the early stages;
when the loan is repaid the industries
will become self-governing. The first of

- these industries (bootmaking) has al-
ready been established and is working
. full time. It was started with a capital
of £500; and is not only paying its way
but is also paying wages at the rate of
£1500 a year. ,
One suggestion which. is being exam-
* ined is that Brynmawr might be made
a holiday resort. It is excellently placed
for that purpose and the town is well
planned, though badly kept. A small
development committee has been formed
m conjunction with the district council
to go into details and to inquire into
such things as entertainments, lodging
accommodation,.. advertising,._etc....The
question of. the roads is being tackled
by the council under the schemes for pro-
viding work for the unemployed. It is
suggested that the---remaining -work,
which will be considerable,
voluntarily done. by the unemployed if
permission’ were given by the Ministry
of Labour for this to be done while the
men draw unemployment pay. - Money
has been found to enable such men to
have one good meal a day. The men’s
leaders are giving active support and a
town’s. meeting is.to be held to endorse
the scheme. Messages of encouragement
in these efforts to save the town have
been received from the iron of Wales,

gil and his writings have been’ popular
themés. Also»several freshmen. have
shown their interest in .Virgil -by
choosing him for the subject of their
English year papers.

Virgil has been continuously in the
literary tradition and in the last hun-
dred years he has grown steadily more
and more popular. In his own time
he was received with tremendous ac-
claim as a second Homer. In the
Middle Ages-he was endowed with the
properties of a magician, and many
legends became .associated with his
name, Becatise of the Christian inter-
pretation of the fourth Eclogue he was
considered the poet of all the pagans
most nearly Christian. I'n Mantua in
the fifteenth century a verse was still
sung in which St... Paul, standing -at
Virgil’s tomb, expressed his sorrow at
not having been able to know the poet
and make a Christian of him. He has
always been admired in France and
Italy; although in England and Ger-
many in the nineteenth century he was
not highly esteemed. One German in
1884 felt it necessary to pardon the
French for admiring him while others
found him “weak and sentimental.”
Not all criticism, however, was so un-
favorable. Tenney Frank, in a book
written while at Bryn Mawr, has de-
~7}-fended-him-_against.the.charge of being |
‘Simply an imit&tor ‘of’ Homer. ,
Miss. Taylor pointed out the splen-

no compromise could be made as to

the proportion of large and small
cruisers, but when Mr. Hoover and
Mr. MacDonald came together an

agreement was reached: we are to
build more large cruisers than Great
Britain, but not as many small ones.
She is to have about thirty-five and
we twenty-three. Of -the’ eighteen
large cruisers which we are allowed,
not more than fifteen of these are to
be built before 1935, Criticism of this
is threefold:

policy there are three
cruisers which we will not have until
after’ 1935; we are planning for more

small eruisers than we need, and the
total cost of the building is too great,
being about-a billion dollars. Parity,
it seems, is expensive. In_ order. to
carry.-out-the- program it will cost: us
about one hundred and seventy mil-
lion dollars a year, four times as much
as we have been spending annually
for the last four years. At any rate,
we will have to spend less than was
suggested in 1927, and we can
on battleships. The present confer-
énce is a settlement of the difficulties

Coed Sleeptime Large
The Five Hundred are not .studiously
inclined. “At least the'time ‘survey which
is being conducted oni’ the campus : shows

that Stanford women, from the group

selected, spend some five hours less per
week than the coeds. of *the University
of Chicago and the students of Vassar
and Mt. Holyoke, and at least nine hours
less than those of Bryn Mawr in aca-
demic work. The average, taken from a

representative group, shows 14.9 hours

spent in classes per week, and 18.6 hours
on study,

However, Stanford cééds manage to

get some sleep—the average being 63.5
hours per week or a little more than
nine hours. a day. The ,time spent. in

outdoor exercise is very small, totaling

three and one-half hours a week. Since
the group included some Lower ~ Divi-
sion. Women who are required to spend
four hours a week, ” very little exercise
is shown in the Upper Division.

Almost a movie apiece is indicated

per week, and some 5.3 hours are spent
in activities. Nine out of twenty-five
went to church once a week, but here
the freshmen were greatly “in the major-,
ity, having seven of the nine.
_ Comparisons between the charts were
made and it was noticeable that only five
out of the twenty-five spent their time in
activities over the average. Activities
were counted as committee and club
work or meetings, play rehearsals, and
publications work: Those who spent
over the average in activities showed less
than average sleep, and those who spent
more time in studying show more than
average in sleep.

The time study is being. made for pur-
-poses of information and is to be con-
tinued—this-quarter._U_S._C,, U.C., and
