Wages and Hours, addressed the

a minimum number of hours that

The act became effective in Oct-

This was in force “until October,

Common Room, May 12.— The
original etchings and lithographs
lent to the Art Club, by Albert E.
MeVitty, of Princeton,
the last, and perhaps the best Com-
mon Room exhibition of the year.
The exhibition was opened by an
Art Club tea.
Of the works displayed, Branu-
emond’s_ etching of Erasmus —is
probably the most famous, but
there are typical examples of Dau-
mier, Millet, Degas, Matisse and
Meryon, as well. There is a lith-
ograph of a bather, by Degas, and
a reclining dancer, sprinkled with
decorative flowers, by Matisse. The
Daumiers are satires, the Millets
are peasant scenes, and the two
_Meryon etchings, studies of light,
and shade on architecture.
The largest etching is. by- Bes-
uard, of a girl sitting infront of
the fire, her face lit by the glow,
and the rest of her body in dark-
ness. Across the room from it, is
a little Matisse face, done in only

Dr. Hu is an eminent philosopher,

of a school of Chinese “Vulgate

.the recent invasion of Holland and
Belgium, we are facing the de-
This battle will not
be a-single engagement, but, in
all probability, a “long drawn-out
campaign. It is fundamentally an
attack on Great Britain. Every
move up to the present has been
advantageous to Germany, and has
been made in preparation for such
an attack. :
The most important step Great
Britain has—taken—in —preparation-
against invasion is her political
reorganization. Churchill was not
thought by many to be Chamber-
lain’s logical successor, but the in-
vasion of Holland made him the
inevitable choice. Churchill has
since named his inner cabinet of
five. The cabinet includes only one
man who. has the responsibility of
administration, Lord Halifax, the
Foreign Secretary. Churchill, as
Minister of Defense, controls the
whole mechanism of defense meth-
ods. Chamberlain acts merely as
an advisor, though he has routine
duties. Clement R. Attlee, the for-
mer opposition leader, is Lord
Privy Seal, and the other labor
leader is Arthur Greenwood. This
small committee is free to deter-
mine the policy of the country.
The cabinet also contains Ernest
Bevin, head of the Transport Work-
ers’ Union, as Minister of Labor.
Herbert Morrison is Minister of
Supply. ~- Both Bevin and Morri-
son are expected to reorganize the
production capacity of Great
Britain: This reorganization is the
most hopeful aspect of the situa-
tion.
Outside England, it seems that
the conflagration is spreading in
other directions. There has been
a blackout in Sweden, a strength-
ening of allied forces in Norway,
and British evacuation in Hungary.
Italy’s status is a major problem.
She has recently switched from a
non-belligerent to a “pre-belliger-
ent” position. The recent anti-
British demonstrations by Italian
student# seem to have. strength-
ened the probability of Italy’s join-
ing forces with Hitler. The chief
reason for this agitation is the re-
port of the Allied blockade which
Italy claims to be a violation of
international law.

Maids’ Classes Sing
And Recite Poetry
For Student Profs
Rhoads North, May 14.—A
group of maids took over one of
the class-rooms this afternoon to
entertain the students who have
conducted maids’ classes this year.
The program of singing and poet-
ry reading was arranged by Anna
Kearney, with Jeannette Holland
as mistress of ceremonies.
The whole group of maids sang
the negro national anthem, Lift
Every Voice and Sing, and a spir-
itual, Every Time I Feel The Spir-
it, with a lovely harmony of
voices. Anne White and Pearl Ed-
monds, who appeared in Porgy
and Bess this. spring, also sang a
duet.
Poetry_readings_and_recitations
were given by the rest of the
maids, all of whom showed a great
deal of poise, and a fine poetic
appreciation and understanding.
Catherine Winston first' read A
Legend of Spring. Ida Lancaster
and Carey Crunkleton read two
poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar;
a third in the form of a monologue
was recited by Anna Kearney.
Pearl Edmonds presented another
monologue, The Farmer and His
Mule, and Louise Simonds follow-
ed her with a recital of Christian
Graces, though she protested that
it was “too sanctimonious to go. _
behind the mule!”
Anne Spillers, 740, expressed the
appreciation of the students. She
urged that the program might be
repeated next year as a climax
and an incentive to the year’s
work, and that members of all the
maids’ classes might take part.

Labor Administration _
Discussed by Fleming
Continued from Page One
1940, when a 40 hour week will be
enforced. Employees must be paid
time and a half for all’ overtime
work, but the act was created in
the hope of spreading employment.
If a business cannot pay the re-
quired wages, a Special Industry
Committee, is created to investi-
gate the matter thoroughly and to|,
recommend a suitable wage. This
has been the case with the textile,
millinery, hosiery, boot and -shoe,
knitted outerwear and knitted un-
derwear industries. Colonel Flem-
ing emphasized the fact that the
act may deal only with those mer-
chants -who are engaged in inter-
state commerce.
There are many eer ren from
the act and these must be decided
by the administrator. All agricul-
tural. workers, seamen, railroad
workers and employees in season-
al industries, such as canning and
packifig, are exceptions from the
“minimum hours provision.
Can-
ning. and packing plants, which
employ seven people or. less, are
exempt—_from—both—-wagés~—and
hours. Those who are subject to
the law must keep accurate rec-
ords for eventually all such firms
will be investigated by the Feder-
al inspectors, of whom there are
now 700. The number is being in-
creased and Colonel Fleming feels
that “1500 will insure adequate
enforcement ‘of the act.
Violations, at this time, are ap-
prehended chiefly through com-
plaints of employees, or of com-
petitors, who are complying with
the laws. The offending employer
fs then required to pay the back
overtime, but wilful violation is
punished with a $10,000 fine for
the first offence and a jail sen-
tence for the second offence. Goods
produced in_violation of the act
may be confiscated and criminal
proceedings..instituted-~ against
those who try to move them.

Fancies at Dancies
By Isabel Martin, *42
In the spring, everyone discards
all thought of work, and some of

We blossom out in pretty ideas and
not such attractive work clothes

world. Most college dance com-

Dr. Frank Denies We
Learn From History
Speaking before the Philosophy
Club, Wednesday evening, Dr. Er-
ich Frank, denied that we can
learn anything from history. We
cannot even know it.
Frank indicated that the
events of history were
rences, acting from within. In
this sense real history is subjec-
tive, and not discernable by any-
body. An example of a real_his-
torical event is faith.
The discussion that followed Dr.
Frank’s talk brought out that ac-
a ae a to this view no progress
can be mapped for the future. In
his talk, Dr. Frank said that man
can do nothing about his history
since there is a. preestablished or-
der controlling all events. Nietz-
che, who believed in the power of
man to affect history, was com-
pared unfavorably to St. Augus-!
tine.
the first genuine philosopher of
history.

Just lately there has arisen on
campus a brand new idea about
clothes. It didn’t take much money.
It just took a big ‘pair of scissors,
and lots of patience and courage.
You see, they took down their cur-
tains and made dresses~ out of
them. Whenever you see a friend
clad in a horrible chintz skirt, you
may be sure that she is wearing
that extra pair of curtains that
she couldn’t bear to hang at her

lem arose of what to do about the
denuded windows. All sorts of
suggestions were smade—old rugs,
old bedspreads, and old dresser

the gap. Finally someone hit on
the perfect, one might almost say

‘Faculty Break Loose in Second Tanne
To- Defeat Varsity 2248 in Second Game
By Elizabeth Crozier, *41
With Dogfish Doyle on the firing
line again, the Faculty rode high
once more to take the second game
of the season from the Varsity,
22-18. The second ing alone
was almost enough to (¢linch the
ballgame. The boys really teed off,
sending 18 men to the plate to
bring home 13 runs on 12 hits, one
walk and five Varsity errors. In
all, the Faculty totaled 19 hits off
the combined. offerings of Alexan-
der and MacIntosh, while the Var-
sity nicked the Dogfish for 11 safe-
ties.
The Fasalty were behind, 9-3,
going into their half of the big
second inning. Norton, ’42, play-
ing for the Faculty, started the
rally with a walk. Bruiser Brough-
ton reached first on an error, and
Norton seored with the first run.

The Merion Cricket Club Team de-

sweeping 5-2 score.
In the first singles, Christine
Waples, 42, outwitted Anne Page
in a tricky match ending 6-3, 6-4.
Even in spite of Miss Page’s driv-
ing serve the winner took up an
offensive stand from the first and
kept her opponent on the run
throughout: two sets of brilliant
tennis.
Barbara Auchincloss, ’40, bowed
to Helen Rice in straight sets, 6-4,
6-2. It was more of a psychologi-
cal battle than one of skill and
Auchincloss did not play up to her
usual ability. Edith Earle Lee
won the third singles from Meyer,
42, at 7-5, 6-2, but not without a
struggle for at the beginning Mey-
er was playing a powerful-game,

end with hard base-line ° shots.

and coordinated team. Meyer and

himself scored a’ minute later on
Alfrayed Zirkle’s two-bagger. An-
other error put ‘Chester Miller on
first: safely. After that the base-
paths looked like the turnstiles in
a subway rush. The next eight
batters all hit safely, with the fire-
works highlighted by Not-so-Chunk
Nahm’s double and Zirkle’s triple.
Respite came for a moment when
Miller, up for his second time in
the inning, struck out. But. the
Dogfish and Not-so-Chunk contin-
ued the attack with a single apiece,
only to be left stranded when Miss
Jaeger was out on a slow roller |
to Alexander. And to polish it off,
the boys came back in the next
inning to score four more times.
The Varsity were through after
‘|that, but they had had two good

Sister of Former Bryn Mawr
President Writes Story
Of Childhood
A Quaker Childhood
By Helen Thomas Flexner
Helen Thomas Flexner, author of
A.Quaker Childhood, is a sister of
the late M. Carey Thomas; and both
were members of the large family
of Dr. James Carey Thomas, Bal-
timore family physician and Quak-
er leader, and of his wife, Mary
'Whitall Thomas. In 1871, when
Helen was_born, it already con-
sisted of three boys and three
girls, and a fourth son, followed
soon after. Martha Carey was
years older than Helen, and was
soon to make her outrageous de-
rint
mand that she be allowed to study, |,
like a man, at Cornell.
Because of Carey’s frequent ab-|
sences from home, Helen remem-
bers her only -in glimpses. She
recalls Carey, the admired older
sister, telling her the splendid
myths of ancient Greece; Carey,
the intent student at Leipzig,
chastening conscientious Helen for
an over-scrupulous Quakerism;
and Carey, finally recognized by
the trustees of the newly-formed
Bryn Mawr College, winning the
position. of Dean and immediately
converting her entire family to the
exciting new scholastic life.
But there are two main themes
which concern Mrs. Flexner most;
other ‘material is incidental to
their development. Ofte is her
own éxperience as a sensitive and
rather neglected youngest daugh-
ter; the other is the part played
by her mother in the lives of all
who knew her. Mary Thomas was
Carey’s sole aid and abettor in her
Struggle for a university educa-
tion. Helen had to face many di-
lemmas, alone, except for the
knowledge of her mother’s under-
standing and sympathy. The tra-
ditional limits to women’s author-
ity, even within the home, and a
strong, profound Quaker convic-
tion both prevented Mrs. Thomas
from aiding her children as much
as she might have; but she met
both minor disturbances and major
conflicts, which threatened to de-
stroy the family structure, with
the same unfailing: calm and _ in-
pired comprehension.
Life in Mrs. Flexner’s childhood
was difficult, as it still is today,
but difficult in a more personal
fashion. Her picture of one fam-
ily’s problems and its work for
others, in the varied fields of re-
ligion, education and social wel-
fare, is rendered distinctive by her
honesty and her perception of what,
|Radnor Roasts Wienies in Exotic Comfort;
Three Full Dixie Cups Consumed Per Capita
_By Agnes Mason, 42
Radnor had a weinie roast last
Saturday night in their own smok-
ing room. It was a case of weather
raising its ugly head again, which
kept them from Saunder’s Barn.
Dressed in overalls for the great
outdoors they lay on the living
room floor and roasted their hot
dogs over the coal grate. “It was
exotic,” was the comment offered
by Ann Wight.
They had an enormous quantity
of food: Rumor has it that each
grad student ate the contents of
three Dixie Cups, and then pro-
ceeded to exchange the pictures of
the movie stars on the'lids. Wil-
liam Boyd was the favorite of the
Dixie Cup actors, but, actually,
there wasn’t a decent looking one
among them and the students
burned them ruthlessly in the fire.
As a matter of fact, the half is di-
vided between Errol Flynn and
Charles Boyer.
Lying happily outstretched on
the Radnor carpet, with eyes fixed
dreamily on their makeshift bon-
fire, the grads then sang negro
spirituals. The last advice called
after us as we left. this den of in-
tellect was, “Never try to roast‘an
apple, over-a-coal-fire.”’

ly, in the final set, Waples was
defeated, 6-3, 6-2.
Barbara Auchincloss, ’40, was
defeated 6-2, 6-4, by Mrs. Clegg.
Auchincloss was not playing with
as much accuracy as usual and,
while her drives were forcing, too
many of them went out. Janet

7-5, 6-8, 6-0, and Julia Fleet, 43,
to Mrs. Toland, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, in

the other victory, defeating Anne
Parry, 6-4, 5-7, 8-6. Matthai
showed excellent form and detery
mination to win. Auchincloss lost
the second singles to Mrs. Connell,
in a heart-breaking three-setter.
Auchincloss led in the final set,
only to lose in the end, by a
score of 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. Meyer, ’42,

TEST. PILOT HOMER BERRY SAYS: .
~——oromrnneenntenonennnsnnen NO ~fastburning for mein my cigarette: I’ve -smoked— «~~
“FASTEST PLANE off the production line
today!” That’s how Homer Berry describes
the amazing new Bell Airacobra. This vet-
eran test pilot started flying in 1913...
started smoking Camels the same year. “No
other cigarette ever gave me anything like
the pleasure of a Camel,” he says. “They
burn slower, smoke milder and cooler. In
26 years, that slower burning has given me
a lot of extra smoking.” Try Camels. Enjoy
Camel’s slower-burning costlier tobaccos.

Kent’s, and the expression is not
entirely clear. Nevertheless, the
oem is musical, within: its limits
varied, and the handling of rhyme
is admirable.
To conclude the serious mater-
ial: Miss Kent’s editorial contains
good sense, somewhat cryptically
expressed. If there were a few
more paragraphs the style might
lose such awkward condensations
as: “predicament of its privileges.”
Apart from style, the problem it-
self and the editor’s commendable
point of view would be clarified by
fuller treatment. I was confused,
for instance, by the classifying of
Saturday classes, as “evils,” with
“limited permissions” and “earlier|
hours.”
Miss Read’s Bryn Mawr Frag-
ment (in the manner of Beowulf),
Miss Robbins’ book review, called}
Huzley and his Baboons, and Miss
Sparre’s sketch, The Pianist, do
not really belong in The Lantern.
The interest of the Fragment is
In-spite-ofthe sus-
tained style, there is not enough
surface wit or ingenuity in the
narrative to amuse an outsider ig-
norant of the modern legend on
which it is based. Miss Robbins’
book review cannot be taken seri-
ously. It is poorly written, unin-
teresting and superficial: I suspect
that she tossed it off without much
thought. The Pianist is the kind
of sketch which is valuable to the
author as an exercise but which is
too slight and too hackneyed to be
printed.
The question*of space-filling is a
serious one. I sympathize with the
difficulties of the editors when they
are faced with a shortage of ma-
terial. But I wonder sometimes
whether the shortage is real—
whether the editors, in a natural
desire to interest their readers, are
not over-emphasizing variety. If
good articles and book reviews and
really funny light sketches are ob-
tainable, I am wholly in favor of
using them. If not (and these are
frequently hard to come by) it
seems to me a mistake to accept
mediocre substitutes. It is far
wiser to use the best of what is
more plentiful: serious short sto-
ries and sketches and academic pa-
pers. I believe that the editors are
often too rigid in their condemna-
tion of short stories which may not
be entirely successful but, which
have the important qualities of in-
agination,—and that
they are unnecessarily: afraid of
academic papers. I know, directly
and indirectly, of material rejected
by The Lantern which would have
raised the level of this issue.
The editor welcomes letters of
‘constructive criticism.
