Editorials WITHIN the turn of a college year, the main question in the minds of our active chapter members has changed from, "Shall we economize?" to one more P . I difficult of solution, " H ow may we best economize?" I f you doubt Erocttea the earnestness with which most chapters are working out plans for conomr the present and future, read the Chapter Letter Department in this issue. It is not finances alone which must he closely budgeted; physical stamina, mental equilibrium, spiritual sanity, must be based upon practical principles if a c hapter is to maintain a high sta ndard today and tomorrow. Letters reveal the increase of loan funds upon every campus, the employment of idle men upon building projects, the concrete sorts of altruism that mean s haring more than money. Fraternities are returning to some of the Quaint but practical methods of long ago, when daughter used her own ingenuity, instead of tapping papa's pocketbook. "Home-made." and " hand-made" are no longer term s of reproach. Real co-operation in college and chapter projects is bringing closer community of chapter interest. The Grand President of Kappa Alpha Theta, Margaret Banta, aptly phrased the situation recently, when she said in her Founders' Day message, "Let us determine to keep the functioning of our chapters so simple that the soc ial participation in the ir activities need not embarrass any active Theta, and the financial participation so modest that it may leave her free to reach the coveted culmination o f her educational pursuits." TN TIIESE DAYS of brilliant names Rung ac ross the sk ies, announcing achievements in arts or sports, we are prone to associate heroic accomplishments with spectacular acclaim. Too often goes un sung the glory of heroes U nsung . . . . wor k an d care mean perw h ose 1a bo nous, uncomp 1alllmg, unceaslI1g H <roes 1laps Just . k eepmg · f·1 1·1 . 0 f 0 bscu n. ty a ami y lappl y toget her, at a price and pain. We think particularly of one of our own members, who, discovering t hat an illness of her husband would be fatal. set about preparing herself quietiy for a position of support and responsibility for her self and her children. Night after night for over a year she studied for her tru st, with the help of her husband. Now that he is gone, she is steadfastly working by day and planning by night so that her Telinquished dreams for herself may find fruition in her chilc1ren. No picturesque distinction will hers be-but a hero-ah yes! D. ]. W.
BEFORE APRJL I, fourteen hundred dollars in commissions for magazine subscriptions had been turned over to the Settlement School Treasurer by the energetic chairman of the Magazine Committee. Dorothy Jackes Magat in f!S Miller. Mrs. Miller is to be congratulated upon her achievement and M one" thus far, with the help of her alumnre representatives all over the country. And the field has scarcely yet been touched, for this may be made a most fruitful method of earning money, as Mrs. Miller can prove by the results in clubs where magazine selling is a major activity.

These awards, made annually at a dinner held during the ea rly part of the second semester, are fo r highest combined active and pledge average, highest pledge average, and for the greatest improvement over the ranking of the year before. The tcn national so roritics 011 th e campus take a deep interest in this contest and the competition is close. Members of all soro rities, alumn<.C, actives, and pledges are present at thi s dinn er. Each group is seated together at tables decorated with their respective colors, and each group sings three fraternity songs during the course of the dinner. K A a, the winners last year, were scated in the place of honor on the stage. Custom ha s made thi s an event of great interest, toward which all groups look with much anticipation. The averages are first made known at the dinner.
The averages which won the cups we re as foHows: Acti ve, 1.5987 ; pledge, 1.9-103 ; combined, 1.7381. The University average was 1.3973. Averages were close in the active chapters, but th e pledge group was far ahead of the seco nd group following them. Heretofore th e custom of the Panhellenic group has been to award three cups for the highest active, pledge, and combined average, respectively. Last year, however, repetition was made in awards to the winning group so they chose a new method , hoping in this way to avoid two awards going to th e same group, only to have n B ~ apl>ear with such splendid averages as to achie\'e not two, uut all three awards. ~1.

U y THE end of this century, or even before, I hope the machinery of peace wil1 be so firmly established, that it will be an effective prevention against war," said 1+.1r5. Carrie Chap· man Catt. Thi s gracious lady had greeted me in her expa nsive, low-ceilinged library, through the large windows of which streamed the afternoon sun. We chatted of many topics, but mostly of her important work as Chairman of the Cause and Cure of War Committee. lIyou asked me ahout the Committee's next step," she continued. "Heretofore, we have been attempting to determine th e cause of war and our conclusions as yet ha ve not been formed. Th ere is much to be learned as to why war is tolerated a nd even, by some, desired. \Vhile we shall continue our study, the conference next January will graduate fr om a 'high sc hoo l' to a 'no rmal schooL' We shall try to learn how to teach others." "You sec," she added, "women are no longer non-combatants. They consume a large percentage of the world's products and own much property. Modern warfare endangers their lives as well as those of men and, therefore, they are demanding to be heard. Through their organized clubs, they are effective agents of peace propaganda." Miss Aida Wilson, Iowa r, Mrs. Catl's companion and sec retary, joined us for tea. The conversation took on a lighter tone. We ate delicious finger r olls and circles o f sweet cinnamon buns and s ipped our tea from fragile, brown china cups. "That's the flower garden," said Mrs. Catt and she showed me the crocuses already in bloo m, the bird bath, the rose arbor, the squatty little fig-tree given her by the Portugese gardener, and the spot
where the vari-colored beehives, the latest thing in apiculture, will be placed in the warmer months. Leading me to another window, she said, "And this is my vegetable garden," whereupon she proceeded to tell me about the impudent round bug that spoiled all her

Those newspaper reporters who we re mystified at the Cause and Cure of War Conference in Washingto n, in Janua ry. at conAicting announcements handed out respectively by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Cau , chairman of Ihe conference, that she was resignin g th e chairman ship, and by her board of officer s that she was not rc· signing at all, have been set at re st finall y by the recent publicati o n of the new board roster. Fro m this d oc ument it appears that Mrs. Catt did succeed in shuffling o ft' the chairmanship in spite of the o pen mutiny o f her board who pled and threatened in their desire to keep her as chairman. H oweve r, th e board scored a partial victo ry in t-hat Mrs . C atl's nam e still appears at th e head of the list as Chairman of Program, with Ihat o f Ruth Morgan second, as Administrative Chairman, fo llowed by th e other office rs. As Chairman o f Program, she retain s her chi e f place as director of policies, and the Con fer cnce is assured of th at great prestige and wise counsel which Mrs. Catt's lead e rshi» confers. Never we re these qualities better displayed th a n at the latest annual conference. JI is :1 perilous business to arrange l)rog rams yea r after year. Mrs. Catt has built up each successive conference's discussions on a progressive principle. They are at once a sum ming up of the year's activities and
study along disarmam ent lines on th e part o f th e el even nati onal women's organizations composing the Confe rence. and the introduction 10 th e work of th e coming year. To see her preside at these meetings is to realize tha t one is looking on at a remarkabl e, a unique spectacle. Beautiful and dignified women can be seen presiding with great success at meetings all over th e country, but when Mrs. Cau comes on the stage she fills it. No matter how di stinguish ed is th e speaker she introduces, sh e is th e m ain presence o n the platform. There is th at indefin able, ind esc ribabl e quality about her whi ch sets h e r apart. T he recent Confe rence was as stimulatin g a nd fruitful as its predecessors. There w e re two dramati c debates whi ch those who heard will long remember, one between Will Irwin and Dr. Brown of Princeto n, Pro fessor of Inte rnational Relations, and th e oth er between Chih Meng, Associat e Director o f th e China Institute in America, and Dr. Iyenage of Japan, on the Manchurian Question. The latter was a magnificent demonstration of oriental passi o n cl oaked with suavity, and while the audience thought they we re equally suave in th eir applause, Mrs. Catt told th em next day she was sorry they could no t conceal their fe elings better!

' ... .-ARENTS who every year debat e the question , "Shall 1 send my daught er to college or gi ve her something else," have light from a new sourc e, which ha s been turned on by a survey of its members recently publi shed by the American W o man 's Association of New York City, a club of mo r e than 4000 business and professional women. The study, undertaken in connection wuh the President'~ Emergency Committee o n Employment. is based on 2000 detailed questionnaires. Very definitely it declares, " A coll ege education does pay." :\{oreove r it tells why. Only recently a wo rri ed father writing in the Forum sa id in effect. i'A well endowed marri age a rrangement at an early age is far more important for gi rls than four yea rs of college.

The unit sur veyed by thi s metropolitan c lu b r e pr ese nt ~ a cross section of wage-earners on a level far above aver age. Th ei r great diversity o f interests is indicated by their 150 diffe rent vocations. Their media n salary of $3030 is nearly twice as large as th at of s imilar economic g roups heretofore studie(I-50 per cent of the membe rship have had from 16 to 22 years of empl oyment and therefore typify th e tested and mature ('Iement in sel f-supporting groups. As to education, here is an aggregation wh ic h represents eve ry stage of
preparation from less th an high-school graduation to a brilliant collecti on of advanced degrees. Of th ese 2000 women, 30 per ce nt a rc college graduates and 11.5 per cent have postgrad uate degrees. Typical yea rl y ea rnings of women with ~I aster's degrees and Docto r' s degrees in Philosophy and Law o r th eir equ ivaknt amounl to $4105, In clear COl1tra ... l i ... the median sala ry of $2655 earned by those who did not co mplete the high school co urse. The typical earnings show a consistent increase which indicates that length of formal education is one of the factors responsible for high earnings. The cha nces are even that a woman with a graduate degree will earn 55 per cent more than a woman with no degree and 51 per cenlmore than those holding a mere Bachelor of Arts. Fin a ll y, among the small number of women whose in co me is $10,000 a nd ove r, 62.2 per cent have at leaSl a coll ege degre e. In the tabl es of unemployment, women w ho held the ir positions during the prese nt period o f depression a re largely those who have educa tion beyond th e high sc hool, those with postgrad uate d egrees, and those with some form of tec hnica l or special training.

574 schools were all employed and 94.4 per cent of t hem reported no cut in salary. Compare these figures with those in the commer cial field, 11.5 pe r ccnt of whom are unemployed and 40.8 per cent have had salary cuts. In the manufactu ring field which, of course, involves those employees only in clerical, executive, and special work, 12.2 per cent were unemployed and 39.4 per cent had salary cuts. The woman who ha s in addition to general college education some specia l tec hnical training is apt both to earn mo rc than those less well prepared
and to continue at work even during hard times. The high grade business and professional woman seldom submits to a study of this so rt. The survey made by the Ame r ican Woman's A ssoc iation is the first of its kind undertaken in New York City. What the report has to say is of great significance to parents, educators, and to young women facing the future. Its findings are at no point more s uggesti ve than in the proof th ey offer th a t education is an invest ment which enriches th e economic Ii fe quite as defi nitely a s it docs the mind and spirit.

C ooeernlog a Certain ".ortar Board C hapte r A LL of us arc pleased when a member of our chapter mak es Mortar Board, and as a group we pat ourselves on the back for our foresight in selecting good fraternity material. This pride in foresight on the part of seve ral coll ege chapters suffered a rude shock last year in the elections to Morta r Board at a certain university. There were six members elected. One was a Kappa, one a TTi Delta, one an Alpha Chi Omega, one a Gamma P hi, and two Pi Phis. B.d-only one of the six had received he r bid to fraternity membership during her first ru shing seaso n! Th e o nly one who was invited during freshman ru shing was the Gamma Phi. and she was a little sister! One of the Pi Phis received her bid
three m onths after rushing her fr eshman yea r, and the oth er, just before Chri stmas o f h er sophomore yea r. Of course, this is rather an unusual si tuation. It doesn't often happen that so large a number of the outstanding g irl s o n campus in th eir senio r year were passed over by the women's fraternit ies when they entered college. But this particul ar incident may call atte nti o n to certain elements in more usual circumstances. Does it not happen a ll too often that girls with fine possibilities are overlooked in rushing while girls who prove to be of li ttle valu e e ith er to the coll ege or to the fraternity are made the cen ter of concentrated attention by all of the rival g roups?

Three Hundred Miles More To Go! To Our EndoW'meut Goal BrI Lo,tlsc F . B ach e, D. C. A lpha T HERE are 300 miles morc to lra"el until we reach our goal of
$50,000 for the Pi Beta Phi Endowment Fund, if you reckon the mileage in this way: The goal set for the Pi Phi Endowment is $SO,OOO. Figuring eac h mile of the road to our goal at $100, we find there a re 500 miles in the entire journey. There is in the treasury at the present writing $15,000 and about $5500 out in pledges, which means that about 200 miles of the distance has been covered and th e result is a little over $20,000 of the Endowment already in hand. There are 300 miles yet to travel, or express ing it in dollars, $30,000 to rai se if our objective is obtained. We are like the s mall boy A. A. Milne tells about in "When We Were Very Young," who , s itting halfway up a long flight of steps, comments on his position in the great round world in the foll owing word s : /lal/way up tile sluirs Is,'" up, And s.m" dO'l.fnI. It isn" in the ""rsery, It isn~t in the tOWlI , And all sorts of familY th oughts Run 'round ill my head : It 'Tisn', r~ally Anywhere! It's somewh ere else Instead,"
We di ~ag ree with the :,mall boy slightly, Two hundred miles covered of a 500 mile journey is very definitely "somewhere," but nevertheless, it isn't the goal we started out to reach. H you e,'cr put off going to the dentist for many months and then suddenly took your courage in hand and went only to find it wasn't half as difficult an experience as you thought it was going to be, you will understand the state of mind that all of us who have bent our shoulders to ca rrying the burden of the endowment fund to a successful conclusion are in at the pr esent time, If we can just make up our mind s that extracting $30,000 out of Pi Phi's pockets, won't be half so painful a task as we ha\'e anticipated, half the battle is won , A her all, $30,000 isn't much to rai se when one considers the membership of Pi Beta Phi and the loyalty and interest that back this membe rsh ip. In spite of all the talk of depression and the much heralded d iffic ulti es of securing money. we believe the job can be an easy one if each member will do her pan, And like the trip to the dentist-the soone r we get it over with the better, Raising money isn't difficult-it on ly requires imagination, It is inte resting to note how many women's clubs in the Un ited States have raised their allotted funds during these last few years of de-
582 pression with only just a little more effort than they put into it, in what w e are now wont to think of as the
"Golden Era of Prosperity, " Most of us know the value of a savings account. If we didn 't know it a few years ago we at least hav e lea rned our lesson no w. Capi tal is necessary in every well-organized business. Pi Phi must have its capital in the form of an endowment fund if it is to accomplish all the worth while things you and I want it to accomplish. If w e can't afford to take th e money out of ou r own pockets at this time, at least we can th ink of ways in whi ch we can earn it as individuals j as active clubs, or as alu mnre clubs. Each of yOll, no doubt, can conjure up a dozen meth ods wh ich mi g ht be employed. For in stan ce, as individual members, w e may colltribute to the endo wment fund by: ( 1) Digging down in our own pockets and making a cont ribut ion; ( 2) Ea rning the mon ey w hi ch we con tri bute by some extra activity. There are numero us ways in which w e as clubs can secure this money, be w e active or alumm:e. Among th em are: ( 1) Arrangi ng lectu res o r a lectu re course on an in teresting subject and charging admiss ion. ( 2 ) Buying up the tickets of a moving pictu re house or theate r for a ce rta in occasion and reselling the tickets. ( 3 ) H avi ng po,·e rty luncheons or dinners at which the guests bring their own food or a simple and inexpens ive meal is furnish ed. The u sual price may be charged fo r the meal a nd the gain over cost turned over to the endowment fund. A series of th ese meals will 11et a sizeable return, and yet if planned ca re fully will

(5) Acting as clerks in a department sto re on a g iven day with a certain pe rcentage of the sales given to the club for its se rvices and th e advertising the sto re ach ieves from this project. (6) ·Memorial funds raised by th e club at the death of a fraternity sister or by th e fami ly of that membe r and contributcd to the Endowment Fund, represent not only a loving and real tribute but a lasting memorial to the mem o ry of that member.

Each member of thi s committee should be a resourceful pc rson, quick to see oppo rtunities and grasp th cm. With such a committee in every active a nd alumn a! club we ought t o be ablc to raise $30,000 in twelve mo nths time in sp ite of the depression, and the hoa rding rumo rs th at float about town.

W HAT? A chapter dinner consisting of pork chops, sweet potatoes, canned corn, and tapioca pudding? A breakfast of coffee, rolls, and marmalade? Impossible, you say! Ne\"erthe less, this has recently been known to be a fact-pe rhaps similar menus exist in all too many cases. At every turn we are closely senttinixing our budgets today. We are watching not on ly tho se which assu me the proportions of our national finances but even the very smallest personal budgets, in oreler to make the proverbial '·both ends meet." Health must be kept up and food costs dO\vn. This slogan is surely onc which needs to be a ppl ied in every chapter house. Not many chapters are able to havc meals planned by a trained dietitian, but there are a few guiding principles which can easily be kept in mind by any house manager while planning chapter menus. One of the first Hguide posts" is to plan menus which take the whole day as a unit into C() nsideration, rather than an individual meal. In order that desirable food r equirements be met, allow th e menu for each meal to folIowa gen eral type.
The brcakfa .. t menu may consist of a frull, cereal, and one hot dish in addition to the cereal and beverage. A salad, dessert, and a beverage should be included in th e lunch menu in addition to a soup or made dish . The dinner menu should include a meat, potato, one other vegetable, salad. dessert, and beverage. \Vith this pattern

to guide, the esthetic value of meals, a very important factor, can also be COIIsidered. Glancing back at th e opening paragraph, we arc at once attracted hy the decided lack of fruits. vegetables, a nd milk. These foods ha ve been given the name "protective" foods, and no laboratory animal is expected to thrive without them. How then do we expect our college women to excel on a "starvation" diet? By this I mean o ne which may be hea vi ly loaded with calories but decidedly lacking in foods rich in the nece ssary vitamins and minerals. A recent Mudy of dieta ries of men's and women's fraternities reveal s that in the cases st udied, the protein and

energy were sufficient, but the calcium and phosphorus were inadequate in seventy per cent, and the iron in fifty to sixty per cent. There was also a marked de ficiency in vitamins. A most startling discovery m ade was that although the food cost wa s almost twice as high, the food se rved the group wa s less adequate than that furni shed inmates of the slate penitentiary! Such a dietary pattern as outlined above was evidently lacking in the planning of the meals in the men's and wornen 's fraternity houses where this s tudy wa s made.
In attempting to follow the correct plan, keep in mind that inexpensive fruits and vegetables not only afC necessary. but add zest to otherwise drab m eals; eggs, cheese, and fi sh will serve to replace meat, which is fairly expen· s iv e, part of the time ; libera l amounts of milk (one pint per day for eac h adult is the standard) should he used; the other calories will be suppli ed from ce real s ( use wh ole grain when poss ible ), fats, suga r s, etc. This, in brief, is an interpretation of th e slogan earlier m entioned, " Keep H ea lth Up and Food Costs Down."

Reminiscences of t. C . lUembers T HE Long Beach A lum",c Club boasts an unusua l number of T. C. member s, and at a recent cooky-shine some a f them were prevailed upon to recount some of the ea rly history of the fraternity. Mrs. Lillie Cooper Weber, of Gamma Chapte r of 1. C., in whose home th e first 1. C. Convention was held in the autumn of 1880 at Mt. Pleasan t, Iowa, was pres id ent o f her chapt er at that time and acted in that capacity during th e co nvention . Mrs. W ebe r now remember s ve ry little of what took place, except that the queslion of jewels in pins was discussed and, as all chapters werc not represent ed, the matter was tabled until a lat e r date. Representatives from Ga lesburg, Illinoi s , were th e Mi sses Gable a nd Willi ams, wh o we re enterta in ed at th e W ebe r hom e. Anot her representative from In dianola, Iowa, was Miss Mary DaShiell. later 'M r s. Suell Spaulding. mother of Louise Spaulding Malin. 'o wa B. now o f Glendale, California, both of whom have been members of th e Long Beach Alumnre Cl ub. Mrs. W ebe r r ecalled many escapades of the girls in th e chapter, especiall y the secret meetings held in lhe homes of members at nig ht. They would go blocks out of their way to the meetings, in eve nt th ey were being followed, to throw off cu ri ous ones. Their first parlor picnic was held in th e home of one of the members, the lon g tablecloths were s pread upo n th e floor a nd everyone sat arou nd them to eat. Mrs. Webe r joined T. C. orosis on October 26. 18iO. and met the founde rs for the first time in 187 1. She did not see them again or attend another convention until June, 1929, at Pasadena, California.
Another of th e 1. C. members at Long Beach is Ma r y Miller Barnes, Kansas A, th e first ed it o r o f THE ARROW . Tn the fall of 1884, Mary Mille r was appointed alumna! delegate and J ean O liver of Kan sas University was chapter representativ e; these girls journeyed from Lawrence, Kansas, to I owa City where th e convention was held. At thi s convention the first important step to be taken was to change the motto r. C. Sorosis to the Greek fI B ¢l. Next, the fraternity must have a magazine. Due to the interest of Mary Miller, she was appo inted Ed itor. Upon h er r etu rn home she set about getting mat erial ready, a nd with some aid fro m her fa ther, Prof. E. Miller, of Kan sas Univ ersi ty, began to comp il e the magazin e. Due to slo w r esponse from chapters, th e magazin e was not pub lished until April or May in 1885. Two other J.

The American Nursery School-Its Alms aud Opportuuities B" Edna Noble " "bit,· , flU ....i" Z e ta "'r @,.t fl r , Tll e.n ~ rr'''-'''''m fl! r W]THI~ the last decade the movement for the education of the preschool child has progressed until it has achieved recogni tion as a vital and cs<:ential part of the whole educational plCill. Fortunately it has so far held its experimental character alld many methods have been tried out. The best known and probably the most effective method so far developed is the nursery school. The nursery school was first set up in England as a social plan for alleviating the conditions UIIder which underprivileged children were brought up. In the United States and Canada the nursery school was first set up as an educational plan for children from the more privileged classes, largely in response to the demands of parents who were alive to the newer findings of science and felt the need for aid in their application. For this reason American nursery schools have always been agencies for parent education, though they have also had many other purposes-among them that of training young womcn in child care and, in turn, for posi ti ons in nurser)' schools. The purpose of guiding the parents of the children in care and training also had its part in determining the perso nnel characteristic of many of the American nursery school centers-its staff of speciali sts in the J)hysical, mental, and social care of young children. To the parent and the nursery school teacher falls the task of applying the findings o f these various specialists to the living program of the individual child. On the physical side the object is to promote the best growth and developm ent possible, always on the basis of the child's individual potentialities and limitations. The objective with respect to th e child's men ta l and spirit ual development is similar. These are th e impo rtant years when basic mental a nd physical habits are formed; essential li ving slcills are learned -motor control is developed, a vocabulary is begun, and the child begins to ap-

preciale form. color. rhythm. and ton('; attitudes toward authorit~. afft'ctio n. and realit) are set. Educatiun at this period of life deal~. perhaps more than at any subsequent pcriod, \\ ith all aspects of the child's Ii fe. This opportunity for the all-round education of young chi ldren in a field where the possibilities are far from thoroughly explored, and where the best methods have yet to be determined, makes nursery school work of real intercst to those you ng women who wish to devote their energies to a \'ocation in which the application o f original ideas is sti ll at a premium. It is a task which calls for more than technical skill. Experience has made it increasingly clear that the nursery school teacher is the one person on the staff who is of most importance to both children and parents. Not on ly must she have an excellent back({rollnd of training. She must also have ul1u",ual character and personality, for upon her depend the quality of the nursery school atmosphere and the final efficiency of the nursery school program. The creation of that serene, stable, happy environment which is the first necessity for the young child is her special task. She must understand children's problems and be able to direct and foster their learning \\ ithout domination or undue interference with their personalities. During thc past decade the field has attracted many college women of superior type. I t is to be hoped that the movement

HACIENDA DEL SOL
IN .-\ desert fore~t of giant cacti and palo verde. Hacienda del Sol, Arizona's Ranch School for Girls, occupies a Spalli :o.h-Mexican house of the old "hacienda" type upon the sloping foothills of the Santa Catalinas seven mil es from Tucson. It is of particular interest to the fraternity, since three Pi Phis built and are managing it. The idea of a school in a mild climate where health would be one of the fir st considerations. and where girls could still be prepared for eastern colleges, wa s conceived and put into practice by Elizabeth Angle and Doris Choate Oesting, both Arizona A. That there was a need for such a school ha s bee n evidenced by th e fact that Hacienda de l Sol ol>ened in 1929 with on ly four girls enrolled and in Octobe r, 1931. had a full enrollment of nineteen . The building wa s planned and erected by John W . Murph ey, the hus-
hand of Helen Geyer Murphey, ex-'21, Arizona A. Mrs. Murphey, who ha s decorated many of the attractive homes in Tucson, was responsible for the artistic execution of the 'Mexican interiors 0 f the school. Hac ienda del Sol offers a four-year cultural and college preparatory course. Girls are prepared for the College Board Examinations. H ea lth is one of th e paramount considerat ions in the sc hool, and the outdoor Ii fe is unu sually fascinating. Extra -curri cular activities include: riding. hiking, tenni s, archery, sun-bathing, and golf. Each girl owns her own horse. The mild winter climate of A r izona makes daily riding and a ll fo r ms of spo rt s possible. The pupils enrolled in Hacienda del Sol at the present time come from Haston, ~1ail1 c, Vermollt.

T o THE eyes of a senior law student about to be thrust summarily upon a financial harassed busin ess world, the University of Alabama campus has never seemed more attractive, its walks more inviting, its buildings more pleasant. It is an old campus, landmarked with ante-bellum tradition and sentiment. The University was established in 1831, but its buildings are . of fa irly recent date, for during the War Between the States the little town of Tuscaloosa lay along the path of the Yankees. The University was at that time a military school and a corps of its cadets defended the Warrior River Bridge, the entrance to the town, gallantly but unsuccessfully. The entire university was razed with fire and a l1 the buildings destroyed, except one small brick arsenal now familiarly known as the Round House, which has been taken as a symbol of the Old South tradit ion on the campus and is pictured on a ll class rings and seals. The Round House still remains and one volume of the entire library was also preservcd-a copy of the Koran . All else fell before the Union troops, and 1865 found the University struggling to remain alive during the difficulties of the Reconstruction Era. Nowadays the University of Alabama is a progressive, growing institution with a constantly increasing student body and a football team of national fame, three times the winner of the Tournament of the Roses. From the ashes of the original library has arisen a completely modern building as a memorial to Amelia Gayle Gorgas, sister of the famous Dr. Gorgas who won renown by his conquest of yellow fever during the construction of the Panama Canal. The old Gorgas home still stands, a lovely colonial mansion,
in the center of the campus, shaded by the giant "Gorgas Oak." To the right, the Barracks, remnant of the days when A labama was a military school. stand facing the quadrangle, once the center of all activity. Most of the buildings are new and immaculate, the product of a late growth, but the avenues of oaks which make the campus beauti ful and lend it character are very old and the turf beneath them is thick and satiny as only years of care can make it. A curious combination this-of progress, gaiety, expansion, tradition. The Law School, more than any other branch of th e University has preserved its esprit de corps. The lawyers form a class apart, with their briefcases, their superior learning ( !) and their senior canes. lt is only recently that the feminine element has sacked its sacred portals, but every yea r sees more co-eds enroll. This year I am the only senior girl , but there is a junior who is also a Pi Phi, from No rth Dakota, Erva Thompson. The fact that we are the only two Pi Phis in the entire university this semester and are in the same department has made our work doubly pleasant. For example, tomorrow I shall have to try a criminal case in the Practice Court and if I can have Erva sitting on the jury I shall have the case half won! The development of the School 0 r Law from a nine months' cou rse to its present position of prestige is almost entirely the work of Dean Farrah, who came to the University years ago and has worked untiringly for its advancement. The new building, opened about five years ago is named for him. In addition to a well equipped legal library there is the Practice Court room ( Continued on poge 611)

Lecturiug in Great Dritain An Interview with Dr. ~Ieeea Varney BfI E'h~1 f". Por ... r ,
W E V\'E RE chatting over our coffee in the Napoleon room at Boeu! a Ja Mode Restaurant in Paris-the very room in which the First Consul Joved to entertain his friends in the days of his glory. Mecca Varney, Illinois BI was then doing graduate work at the University of Paris. Last year she received the Ph.D. degree, writing her thesis in French and defending it orally in the same language before the assembled dignitaries. A recent number of the ARROW relates that ithe is the on ly grandmother upon whom the University has conferred the Doctor's degree during the seven centuries of its existence. The talk drifted from student life to the series of lectures which she had been giving in England, for Mecca is a public speaker of note. "One delightful thing about lecturing in Great Britain," she said, "is the immense difference in audiences. One day I addressed a West End group in London where only the elite were admitted; later I spoke in the East End to two thousand down and out women. Some were young mothers, married and unmarried, so poor-st:eking a ray of light during the drab week. :Many of the older ones bore the marks of better day~. They were brushed, neat, and enti r ely threadbare. Some were
"'''.0'. B e l.
dirty, filthy. Eyes were holl ow and hungry. "And yet these women are not devoid of humor. One day Queen Mary honored them with a surpris e visit at their weekly lecture hour. Later one woman was found weeping bitterly; 'Oh, had I known, I'd have been here. To have seen the Queen in all her jewels and ermine I Then I could die happy" :Oh, never mind,' said one of her friends, 'she didn 't look like anything much. She only wore an old gray tweed, and a hat as out of style as yours or mine.' "In Great Britain the speake r is not sent to a hotel but is 'boarded out' in homes. One day I would be in a rich manu facturer's mansion; another day the booking would carry me to a small draper's home, and he, perhaps, would he the reader, the thinker. From a Protestant home in Ulste r I would go to a Catholic house in Dublin: from a titled home in England to a miner's cottage in Wales. "And th ese min ers are reading everything which they can find on social science. They wash off the coal dust, dress and comc to a lecture, then d isCliSS it for days and days. And when you go back for a rcturn engagement they ask intelligently for further explanations. 1 find lecturing to men like these a most sat isfying experience."

On arriving in Tokio we were entertained by the Japanese In st itute, and they announced that their delegation was leav ing that night for S hanghai, where the conference would be held, but none of their wives accompanied them, feeling that the situation wa s too dangerous. I spent a day on the train going from Tokio to Kobe through a densely populated part of Japan, cove red with rice fields and bamboo groves. a nd everywhere people, working in the fields. At Kobe I rejoined by sh ip, and sailed for a day and a night through the Inland Sea, through beauti fuI blue water, dotted eve rywh ere with precipitous volcanic island s. We coaled, and that is a sight in itself, at Nagasaki, a nd then went on to Shanghai through the Yellow Sea. The harbor of S hanghai is famed throughout the world for its color and cosmopolitan flavour. Ships of all nations are there-all kinds and sorts of ships from JO,OOO ton liners and battle cruisers, to six foot sampan s. We
walked from the dock to the Cathay Hotel, only a matter of minutes, surro unded by c rowd s of children, and n ea rly being run over at each crossing, owing to the Chinese habit of keeping to the left. My husband and I had a luxurious suite of room s, beautifully cooked and se rved meal s, unlimited se rvice from our China boy and hi s underl ing coolies, all for the tremen-
dous su m of $6.00 gold a day per person. Th e conference met from October 12 to November 3. There were about 180 people in all, English, Australians, New Zealanders, Americans, Canadian s, Dutch, Filipinos, Japanese, and Chinese, as well as representatives from the Leagu e of Nations and the Labour Office. It was truly an accomplishment that they could tolerantly and understa ndingly di sc uss their problems in a time of such national feeling and bitterness. By the time the con ference was over. the Japanese army had occupied most of Manchuria and feeli ng was running high in Shanghai. Everywhere we saw inflammatory posters. Then down the main st reet would come three Japanese armored cars with machine guns mounted, armed so ldiers with gas masks, and sirens wide open-the Japanese way of showing the Chinese what would happen if they made any tro ubl e. We drove through the Chapai and Hongk ew sect ion s frequently. and all our comings and goings to Nanking. Hangchow, etc., were through the North Shanghai Station, which has since been reduced to a mass of ruin s by the Japanese. We left Shanghai on November 4 for Peking. That was the only time on the whole trip that I had the misfortune to be bitten. The train was not overly clean, to say the least.
The M ay A RROW From Peking we went to Mukden by train. That iii; a simple statement but it encompasses a great deal. I n Shanghai we were told that the line was wrecked by bandits and Japanese, and that no trains were running. In Peking we were told that the trains were running, hut that the windows wcre shot out. that there was no food or heat. and that e\ery other train was held up by bandits. However we went, with over a hundred Chinese soldiers, an armored car with gUlls 011 the front, and two 011 the back. At a certain !'Italian all the Chinese ~o ldiers left us, and twenty miles farther on the Japanese came on in full hattie ordef with steel helmets and bayonets fixed. The tracks \\;ere torn up about fi vc miles out of Mukden. ,:,0 we got out and into cars, and drOH' along a narrow road. where we were held up and searched a1 in1er\'als by sold iers. Vle stayed in Mukden for a few days, everyw here seeing evidences of japanese occupation. Then we went to Changchun, now the capital of the new Manchurian State. from there to Harbin, the Russian center now held by the japanese. On our way to the Russ ian fronticr we passed through Tsit~ihar Junction. six miles to the south of where the japanese and Chinese
593 armies were fighting. A few hours after our train got through , the japanese army swept OHr the tracks and trains were held up. At ).1anchouli. with a great deal of relief, 'We got on the Trans-Siberian Express, bound for Moscow. I t took us se\'en days to cross Russia. The train was clean, warm, comfortable, and the food exccllent. For dinner we would have caviar, mushrooms, fish, fried chicken, good white hredd and butter, a sweet, and coffee, and all reasonable in price. The country was lovely. fairly heavily wooded, and already under snow. The people at the stations were warmly dressed, and appeared well fed and happy. Everywhere olle saw bookstalls filled with technical works on economics, phy~ic~. biology, etc., and the people \\ cre reading them. \"'e went from Moscow to Warsaw, to Berlin. to London, to ew York, and home to Toronto, eac h place looking progressively better. 'ATe may talk about depressions in our occidental civilization. but onc just has to go to China to r ea lize that for four hundred million people life is just one long e('onomic dcpr~ssioll. and our condition, bad as it see m!; to liS, would be lik e Heaven to them.

The PDppet~Theater at WesthuUlpton Dfl D e an ~Iay Lansfte ld K e ller, ltforfllalld Alpha Pre. IIl e ni Em e rlt ...
A NOVEL activity which has recently become popular on our campus is a puppet theater. T ony Sarg visited Richmond last year with his marionettes; a short time after thi s appearance a paper was written by a member 0 f the Sophomore Class on the hi sto rical develo pment of puppets and puppet shows, and 10, overnight a new interest had arisen and the Sophomore Class became puppeteers. A workshop was set up in which a puppet theater was built and a miniature switchboard constructed; light. ing arrangemen ts were pl a nn ed by a member of the class maj o ring in physics; a play was select ed ; t he scenery was painted; and th e puppets were const ruct ed, painted, and dressed. On an eventful njght in the Sp ring, Hansel and Gretel, the old witch, and the good fairy came to life, m ade their bow to the public, and sang a nd danced their way into favor. The strings all worked, Hansel and Gretel wandered
in th e wood, the fairy hovered aloft in air, and at the end, th e old witch on her broomstick was prope rly consumed in th e hot oven. The amateur puppeteers had sco red a s uccess in th ei r first ventu re. From this time on puppets flourished. A section of the Course on Dramatic Production, conducted by Carolyn Lutz, a Pi Phi from J ames Mil1ikin Unive rsity and Goucher, now Professor of English in Westhampton College, was directed toward a systematic study of puppets not only from the standpoint of productio n, but with reference to the writing of plays suitable for presentation in this miniature type of theater. This yea r scenes have been given from Through. the Looking Glass, notably the one of A li ce a nd the Griffin. The Griffin was a fearful and marvelous creation, cont rast ing well with dainty little Alice, who watched his contortio ns with much interest.

The May ARROW Another farce gave opportunity for puppet jealousy, anger, love, and fear. The characters played the piano, embraced, bowed, fought, et cetera, and then at a given signal the top curtain was Tolled up, and the audience was given the opportunity to watch while the puppeteers manipulated the strings and everyone could sec the controls in action. The great advan tage of the Puppet Theater is the economic one. The initial
outlay is very small and the repetitions of any performance cost nothing. At this particular time, when the financial side has to be considered, when royalti es, costuming, coaching, lighting, and innumerable incidentals necessary for giving regular dramatic performances 100m large in any budget, the Puppet Theater offers an unusual a vc;;nuc;: for artistic and dramatic expression at a minimum cost of time and expe nditure.

A New House and a NeW' Plan at Denver TwENTY-FIVE years ago, the little Pi Phi Bungalow at the University of Denver was built; it was the very first house to be bu ilt or even owned, or rented as a regular meeting place, by any organization on the campus. In the years following, there werc

It was completely redeco rated inside by professional decorators, and furni shings were all bought and paid for. It blends in its soft, rich tones with the genia l atmosphere that every n B 4> house should have, and that is impossible to atta in in a club ho use which was open but once or twice a week. The girls eat lunch here every day. and dinner every Monday night, and may s tay all night or eat dinner any night in the week if desired. Two outof-town girls are now living in it and there will be more next year. The plan ha s been followed by A ::; 6. , and other groups are making plans to do so in the near future.

onymou::.. Miss Bishop was to have had leave of absence beginning October 1 la"t, but events conspired to keep her on at the school. The first delay came when, at the last moment, the weaving teacher cou ld not return to Gatlinburg. Very fortunately for the school \V innogene Redding, the former weaving teacher, consented to fill in for the year. It should be said here that the work has progressed welt under her direction. Mi ss Redding was hardl y established when Frances Moore, the nurse, received offer of such a good position
elsewhere that she could not refu~e it. So it wa!'> that Miss Evelyn did not get away until January I, and then went only so far as Sevierville where she was with her mother. Each week until her return to active duty the latter part of February she went back to the school to take care of co rrespondence and confer with the staff, all members of which rose nobly to meet the emergency created by her absence. The close of the school year 19311932 finds Miss Evelyn again doing, as only she can do them, the countless things that fall to the director of the Settlement Sc hool. It also finds the whole fraternity in her debt more deeply than ever.

Instead of sending all of ou r handicraft work away for others to enjoy, we are making our own homes bright and cheerful with handwoven articles and handfinish ed furniture. Sacks ha ve found numerOllS uses in Gat linburg communities. With a little dye and much work sugar, flour, and bran sacks are bei ng made into curtains, rugs, bedspreads, run ners, chair covers, and pillows. Our wood boxes have put on legs and are standing on a higher level. We no longer have to bend to t he floor each time we put a stick in the sto\·e. We have also learned that the only
way to keep the children's clothes out of th e middle of the floor is to g ive them a place to put them.

A course in Red Cross nutrition, for which the women will get credit from the national Red Cross, is planned for this spring. We hope to correct the undernouri shed condition of so many and to learn how to teach the children to eat new foods and to like to be well and healthy.

A s A volunteer worker Elsie Barbero Conser~ Iowa B, went to the Settlement School last Augu st from her home in Pasadena. Mrs. Conse r not only taught classes in music but also gave private lessons to some of the older children. She encou r aged and helped Mary Rachel A rmstrong and Vivian Blair in their work with the
glee club. The altitude affected her health from the beginning and before Christmas fo rced her to leave Gatlinburg. When she left, the schoo l !t1St ained a very real loss, not only because of Mrs. Conser's ability as a teacher but because of her splendid and helpful spirit.

In the last ARROW, announcement was made that "The Story of Gatlinburg" was written by Dean Greve of the University of Tennessee. However, authorship should be credited to Mrs. Jean e tte Greve, a resident of Gatlinburg and the mother of Dean
Greve. The book is on sale at the Ar-
row Craft Shop. As the ARROW goes to press, news h as been received that Mrs. Greve has passed away. The school has lost a wonderful friend and the community a real neighbor.
A typical day at the Ano wcraft Shop in the Mountain View Hotel gives one a composite picture of th e American tourist.

Based o n actua l obse rvati on o f classes studying English, French, o r Spanish in thirteen leading cities of Germany, Mi ss White's conclusions will be of inte rest not only to language teach ers, but to all in any way concerned with education. A fter explaining why any attempt at comparison o f mod ern language ocltiet/t'-

"Sundar Giffin is of th e company o f those who go upon the 'secret way.' Hers is the ques ting spi rit. H er poetry reflects many moods . . . . But do minant in the lines, as an essence out breathing fr om them, is the aspiring spiri t. The lin es sing themsel ves ill multifo rm, multi colored patt ern s, as it were, iridescently." So writes Mary Siegrist, in an introduction to a first book of poems by Sundar Giffin ( Fl oye Lewis Giffin. Colo rado A ) . recently issued by th e R oe rich Museum Press.

She was always active in our work. She stood
forth as a leader in th e best ideals of the Fraternity. Kate Mille r was one of the origi nal g ro up responsible for establishing th e Settlem ent School. She se rv ed as an active and influentia l memb er of the Settleme nt School Committee wh en the Chi cago Alumll~ Club in 1912 was given th e management of the School. With Mrs. Helmick, she did much of the pioneer work fo r the School, at a time when the idea was not n ea rly so popular as it is now. In 1921 she was mad e Chairman of the Settlement School Committee. This position she held for about two years at great personal sacrifice, animated by her genu inc love of the School's work for the splendid mountain people. The women who worked closely with her at this time realize the wisdom, the knowledge, and above all the sy mpathy which she devoted to the School. Her last great work wa s with the foreign students at Columbi a Un ivcrsity.J'o them she was notonlyan inspiring teacher but a warm personal friend. She watched over their pro gress and helped them to overcome the difficulties and loneliness of Ii fe in a strange land. In her honor th ese foreign students established a group known as the Miller Columbia Circle, which remain s as a living memorial to her noble spirit. Kate Miller possessed an unu s ual capacity to face facts steadily and fearlessly, combined with a rare gift for inspiring love as well as respect. The high place she had won for herself is well expressed in the following editorial in th e New York Evening Post on the day after her death. Although unknown to the public, Mi ss Kate B.

Throug h her school life, Miriam was outstandi ng for her personality, whi ch exp re ssed itse l f in rel ation to others, rathe r than in self-contained perfections. She was what we call a n ave rage student, not a grind or a bookworm, though she w as continu a ll y r ead ing. She was intell ectuall y honest, a nd in her inte rcourse w ith others was frank. She faced things as they were, squarely, and made no pretense. Mariam ente r ed the Univ ers ity enthu s iastically. H er one aim was to wear an arrow, so that she was one of the 1110st in terested pledges the chapter has eve r known. The beauty of th e initiation ceremony was unu sually impressive to her.

She was interested in oth e r act ivi ties on the ca mpu s, especially hockey and dramatics, the latter of which she was studying at th e time of her accident.

edited by Ruth Gillan Gobble (Mrs. Harry C.) From New York to CaJiforn ia come lette rs telling us that, depression o r not, alumna! clubs arc going right ahead w ith their work of raising money for the Settl ement School, Endowment, Undergraduate Loan, and other funds. Though to raise m oney in these times requires the utmost skill and ingenuity, Pi Phi alumme have ri sen to the emergency. Reading ove r the lette rs one is impressed by the clever and o riginal schemes described [or coaxing money into the club coffers. It took Morgantown to show us that the day of th e old-fashioned box social is not yet over, and the Franklin club has a new kind of birthday party that combines fun and financia l benefit. The beaut iful tea given by the New Orleans club is worthy o f comment and the romantic Chr istmas dance arranged by the Orlando club with
such social and financia l success. And while a benefit bridge is not so startlingly unu sual, still it is a bit unusual fo r a club to make over a thousand dollars from one, as did the Los Angeles alumna!. Speaki ng of bridge, this plan of g iving Arrow Craft articles as prizes seems to be o ne of the best ideas of the season and o ne that is growi ng in popularity. Did you note Kansas City's $1200 th eater benefit? Fayetteville is proud of it s new IT B .... Mothers' club and makes us WOIlder if we may need a Mothers' Club Department in the ARROW before long. At this tim e the editor wishes to take th e opportunity of thanking all the clubs for the letters which have made this department poss ible, a nd to hope th at wi th their continued co-ope ration it may be even more mutually helpf ul in the future.

was the occasion for the official opening of the university's union building. The fact that lhe financing of the building has been largely a student projec t, and is, therefore, the IItudent's property, added an individual importance to the opening ceremonies. Followin, the general plan of cutting expenses, studenUi accepted the suggestion of President Thomas that there ~ hould be no corsages at the promenade. The women managed all campus activities for "Leap Year Day," issuing the Leap Year edi· tion of the newspaper. and holding annual elections for the associated women studenu' organi:tatioll. At a general assembly meetin" the women', glee club presented a concert. Tbe day was terminated by a dance in the union building. During "EngineeT!l' \Veek," engineerinc students applied th e ir ability toward s beautifying the campus. By day music was broadcast throu gh a public address system, while at night · the main buildings were brightly illuminated by large floodlighl8. A Ilarade and tIle enginecrs' ball wcre the final events.

A budget cut to the minimum in all dellarlments was the first step; then followed decreases in the ex· pensc of social fun c tions and rushing, made possible by simplifying decorations -and omitting corsages and favors. To raise proceeds for the Settlement School donation, the chapter entertained at a series of informal afternoon bridge parties held at the house.

PHRATERES FILLS A PLACE I N THE LIVES OF UNORGANIZED GIRLS Phraterel, a national democratic organization of college women, was organized at the Upiveuit, of Calilornia at Lo. An,e1e. in the fall of 1924. The oraanization haa grown beyond all expectations. Dean Laughlin organized Phraterel originally to pro.,ide a meanl whereby non-resident women living in boarding houses might aovern themselves in their campus homes. and might also enjoy the lOCial, academic and athletic privile,u of the women in the fraternities. Accordingly. Phrateres sub-chapters are Iraded in scholarsbip in the same lis t as the fraterni ties, and the organization holds soc.ial and athletic eventl. \Ve feel that through this organization many women are beinlf offered advantage. enjoyed by the fraternity women, which are 50 dear to the hearts of all college women. There are sub-c.bapten of Plirateres for women livin g al home who felt they had no share in university life. M a ny women join Phraterea and through the a tt entiOt\ attracted to tbemselve. by their participation in the organization find themselves ru.hed by fraterni ties_ 1£ they desire to retain their membership, Phrateres is glad to have them do 10.

In each of se.,era1 years up to 1928-29, the number of initiates in compariMln with thoee of the precedina year, showed .. tisfactory growth_ The increase [or 1927-28 over it. predecessor was 5.9 per centj of 1928.29. 7.1 per centj in 1929-30 (the first of the depre.aaion years), the durro.u under the precedin, ,.ear was 3.1 per cent; and in 1930-31, the dur'an under the preceding year was 14 .4 per cent. The OlOSt definite practical suggestionl thus far suggested for challters have been formulated by tbe committce u folllowl: I. No es~ntiaJ fraternity activity should be curtailed in effectuating any plan of retrench· ment. 2. Any useful plan of retrenchment requires greater effort than ever before on the part ,i National Administrative Officers. J. The consideration of the following items is unlikely to be fruitful unless made the liubject of a conference of all directory and u:cc utive officers.

Amortiratio14 ,ad i"t~rf!St: Effort should now be made to SC(:urc a waiver, po!l'tponement, or reduction of r C<luired currellt amortization, and a h:mpcrary r ed uction of interest. Bo"d$ hdd by al""".;: Jn vitation should be given to caned these, and attention should be drawn to demonstrable depreciation in I:'qu ilies. U"sectl,rtd 1011"$: \\'here )lracticablc, a moratorium should be secured. Re"t: This should be lowtrcd on the basis of a private revaluation of the J)r01)Crty; aUcnlio" is drawn to the fact that the shrinkage in dwell. ing valut:. has been, on the whole, materially greater than those of commercial properties. "UNra"C~ ; The nlAleriai reduction in cost of fire, fidelity, l iability, burglary and theft in· surance is now the luhj«t of st udy by the in · terfraternity ConfcTence. Action on these items may be deferred unlil the Conference report !lOW in prellaration i. available. (This report bas since been partially completed and publisbed.) Taxl!$ : \\' here tax asses,ments are disprOI)()r. !ionatdy burdensome, lega l proceedings to pro· c ure reductions s hould be und ertaken.

F o od : If table is not scl f 'iuPI)()rting, arrange for meals at com mons or boarding hOUlC, or in eo·operation with one or more other congenial fraternities. Consider elimination of breakfut!l. Co,o l>c rative buying effects large «anom ies. The Uniled States Army feeda ita men we.1l on Lalanced diet at 37 cents l)C r day. Arrange in advance with all dealers for a retroactive discount on all purchases wbich may be made during quarterly or other period. but do not COlu ract to confine purcha.se. to anyone dealer or group of dealers. Scrutinize ability and operation. of .teward. Employees: Resurvey number and compcn.sa· tion, curtailing where possible.

HA VE YOU noted the fact that in each issue this year one chapter letter ha s been starred? This mark of distinction ha s been given to the letter which, in the judgment of the Chapter Letter Editor and the Editor, has excelled in promptness, clearness of style, completeness of detail, and interest and variety of content. The first of these requirements eliminated but three let-
ter s in this issue, for seventy-four were on time. The chapters sta rred have been: Virginia Gamma . Indiana Delta, and Maine Alpha. In every issue, seve ral chapters presented letters very close in e..xcellence to the winner.

A famous tyrant was Polycrat.s of Samos. Island aft.r island fell at the approach of his warriors, and Sparta was h.lpl .... So great was hi. power that finally his friend, the King of Egypt, wrote him, "The god. are j.alous of your prosperity. Give up your mast valuable possession." To appease the wroth of the gods, Polycrates regretfully threw into the sea his rarest treasure-an emerald signet ring. A few days later, an enormous fish was brought to the f.asting table. Behold, when it was opened, th.re loy the emerald ring.
When the King of Egypt heard the n.ws, he thought, "Th. gods have refused his offering. A terrible misfortune will befall him." And so it was, Polycrates fell into the hands of on enemy who put him to death by crucifixion.
Moral: Cherish your Balfour ring-it is a symbol of friendship.
