Hoover Stresses Sales Tax To Balance Federal B_udge

Uberty loaDS to a lower rate of in· terest; and that business contldence would be increased by the step. Income taxes have now reached their point of maximum productlv1ty, he said, and would bring dimlnlshIng retur!l8 It pushed blgher. The sharpest part of the Exeoutlve's me&Sage came in assailing sbam "economies" claimed to eXist In some legislation passed 80 tar. which, he declared Would mean a ble deficiency bill later on.

President State. Case

The text of Mr. Hoover's message follows:

In my budget message of Dec. 5 I laid before the Congress the financial situation of the Government, together with proposals for the next fiscal year.

.It was pointed out that, due to decreasing revenues and despite the eaom of the COngress and the Administration, we were again ta.ced with a deficit during the next :fiscal year. I urged upon the Con· gress the necessity :for further drastic reduction in expenditure! arid increase in revenues.

I now approach the Congress again upon this subject, knowing that the members are fully pos6essed of the complete necessity of 8 balanced budget as the foundation of economic recovery and to urge that action should be taken during the present session to bring this about.

The great problem before the world today 18 a restoration and maintenance of confidence. I need scarcely repeat that the mainte.nance of contidence in the tlnanclal stability of the United Btata GovE'rnrnent 18 the flrst contribution to all financial stabmty within our borders, and in fact 10 the world as a whole. Upon that contldence rests the crep..tt of the states, the municipaUties, aU our llnancfal institutions and Industry-It Is the basis of recovered employment and agriculture.

Revenue SOIUCes Disappoint

The increases in revenues enacted at the last session have not had the result.l!l hoped for because of continued economic stagnation. The Income of the Government for the next ft.scal year, nominally estimated at $2,950,000.000, Is Ilkely to !; U short under present world conditions by anywhere from $100.000,000 to $200,000.000'.

Expenditures (and I SPEak in terms of expenditures rather than appropriations) because of the confUSion caused by carry.-over of appropriations for the present fiscal year, including postomce deft. cit but excluding debt redemption, are e8t1mated at about $3.171,000,-

amounting to approximately $58,200,000.

There Is thus produced an appearance of sllght1y greater say. ing than recommended in the executive budget, but in reality an actual increase by over $35,000,000. U the COngress would accept the cuts recommended in the executive budget and also the genuine cuts made by t'"le House Committee on Appropriations .or sa passed by the House it wo1lld represent a real decrease in government expenses over those In the budget In respect to Uiese bUts of some $23.500,000.

There are yet remaining to be reported appropriation bills In which reduct.lons have been recommended by the EXE'cutive which would secure redUctions on agencies of $249,OOO,O'l() less than those of the current year.

Concressional Limitations

In consideration of reductions I realize the pressures upon the Congress. I also recognize many organizations advocating ecoonmy do not fully understand the Undtations under which the Congress works In reduction of expenditures. In order to clarify this I may classify the government expenditures proposed tor the next ft.scal year into six groups (excluding debt redemption, but Including post oftlce detlcJt ).

1. Interest on the public debt which cannot be reduced, $725,000,000. •

2. Trust funds, tax refunds, D C. budget , contributions to clvtl service pensions, post-oftlce subsidies to air and foreign mail which are represented by tlxed obligations and other similar items on which there is no opportunity to reduce, $310,900,000.

3. Public works and their maintenance (excluding military, naval and veterans' construction which are in following items) haa been reduced practieally to commitments and contracts outstanding, $205,000,000.

4. Expenditures on milltary establlshments, $612,700.000.

5. ExpendJtures on veterans have bee)1 reduced tn the executive proposals by $121,000,000 to $818,400,000.

6. All other expenditures of the Government, lncluding the legislative. the judtciary, law enforcement, prisons, foreign aftairs; tlscal and tax servtce, public health, education, forests. .fl.sheries, aids to agriculture, labor. commerce safety 01 life at sea, inspection of food products and a multitude of vital services, includlng the post oftlce as represented. by the remaining deficiency and all other

THE ARROW OF PI BET A PHI

EDITORIALS

Again Adverse Publicity

IT IS difficuJt indeed to understand the continuing wave of articles and pictures against fraternities that have this last year; impossible indeed is it to understand such stories when they come from the pens of members of the fraternities. Surely here is dis· loyalty unworthy of those who have been chosen to wear our badge.

1£ stories either directly or indirectly antagonistic to the best interest of the national [raternities must be written, at least such authors should have the grace to give up their fraternity membership. In estimable harm is being done by such a rticles and stories; harm that can only in part be counteracted by fine answers to them such as the article of Dean Maria Leonard, Indian a B, in a recent issue of Liberty, Those who read the original story may not always read the reply, and may be tempted to reel that the original story contained the whole truth, since it was written by a fraternity member-and since in a particularly flagrant case, the name of the fraternity was itself made a part of advertising for the story.

Disag reement of opinions as to the value of fraternities there is, of cou rse, depending in most cases on the experience of the individual ; yet airing of such views in the public press by fraternity members smacks somewhat of washing dirty linen in public, and on one side only, at that! Certainly it involves a definite violation of initiation vows and fraternity privacy. Family affairs shou ld be kept within the fraternity. Loyalty to Pi Beta Phi or to any other fraternity demands that if there are unhappy conditions in rushing or chapter life, our members should help to correct them. They should try to help in a building up process, rather than to engage in the tearing down process of destructive criticism .

But such stories are salable, you say? Indeed they are, sad to relate-as is always the case with scandal about fine people and fine organizations!

Fellowship Award

Grand Council announces the award of the Pi Beta Phi Fellow ship for Graduate Study to M ary Ann Potts , Texas B, daughter of Ada Garrison Potts, Texas A. Her picture appears in this issue among Mortar Board Presidents . -). -). -).

School For Chaperons

Last summer Purdue University held a most successful school for fraternity chaperons, largely attended, interesting, and valuable. It was the pleasure of the Fraternity 10 pay the tuition of any of our housemothers who attended. This year Oregon State College at Corvallis announces that it, too, will hold such a cou rse, and again 11 B <l) housemothers may attend the course with their tuition paid by the Fraternity. No position is more important in the life of our chapters; no body of women deserves more credit for their fine service than do the women who chaperon our gjrJs. Their task will be an easier one if they may have adequate training for their work, and IT B <l> is happy to cooperate with them in obtaining the line training now available.

An Accident

Sympathy is extended to Lois Franklin Stoolman, Grand Treasurer , who has been for some time in a hospital in Miami, Fla., with serious injuri es as the result of an automobile ac· cident. Mrs. Stoolman and the ARROW Editor now have an even score on accidents!

Publicity Control

COMMEROAL interest s have become fraternity conscious, a thing first evident when, a few years ago, the cou ntry was flooded with articles whose material designs were fraternity badges and Greekletter names. This phase of fraternity exploitation seems to be in the past, but far more serious is its successor-the present deluge of destruc· tive publicity for which commercial photographers and sen sation·seeker writers are re· spo nsible. To these peop le , fraternities are now news. Unfortunately, however, it is not the usual hard·working, decent fraternity member whom they are featuring. They want the sensational, becau se it is more salable and pays bette r, and they are getting it both because some chapters and members are flat· tered by being asked to appear in feature articles and because these commercial repre· se ntatives have not hesitated deliberately to misrepresent their intentions and to mis·use pictures intended to be constructive or at Jeast h armless.

Fraternity chapters and active members should stand together as College Panhellenics against the menace of the vicious attacks now being made against ,fraternities. Thinking people always discount biased, bitter, and libelous attacks upon institutions and organi·

zations whose purposes they know. to be good. Those who know fraternities as the fine influen ce for good which they are and fraternity actives for the sane, wholesome, and moral young people whom they are, should speak their convictions. Active chap. ter members, individually and as groups, should refuse to have a part in any newspaper or magazine publicity unless their a l umnre advisers, Deans of Women, or College Pub· licity Directors have guarantees from pub. lishers that the publicity as it will appear will be hon est, fair, and unobjectionable. They should stand firm in their approval of the use of fraternity names in co nnection with publicity only for fine scholastic or service achievements and in their disapproval of all publiCity which over·emphasizes soc ial trivi· alities or which is or could be made to seem cheap, vulgar, or worse.

Every fraternity woman. active or alumna, should do her part in giving fraternities the best possible publicity by proving by her own life that the ideals and standards of .f raternities are fine and beautiful and that they become a part of the every day living of their members. AMY BURNHAM ONKEN, n B 4>, Grand President, in The FraJernily M Oil/h.

TO OUR FOUNDERS

SEVENlY-THREE

years of IT B 4?! Fortunate indeed are we to have today two Founders still with us, still devoted to the interests of the Fraternity which they helped to found, still honored and cherished wherever the Arrow is worn. Theirs has been the joy of watching the Fraternity grow in size and develop in strength through the years; ours is the joy and the privilege of sharing in the ' act ivities of n B of carrying on the work for the betterment of college women which those twelve girls began so long ago . Our best tribute to our Founders on Founders' Day is to repledge ourselves to really active participation in the life of the Fraternity Founders' Day celebrations throug hout the country bear witness to our everlasting gratitude to the Founders of II B <1>.

Greetings from the Convention Guide

THE CALL OF CALIFORNIA

"So hath she called with her lips of song, Of old, with her breath of musk, From hills where the sunlight lingers long And Ihe "ales in the purple dusk; And JO from her lOll/'S IInwettried love Rings the wice with its olden thrill; From the leaJ below al1d the delerl abo v e, She is calling, calling IliI/ "

CAUFORN IA is calling you back to The Huntington, in Pasadena. I can't tell you the thrill it gives me to be sending you my "G reetings" aga in as Convention Guide, and to be looking forward to welcoming many of you that were here before, as well as many who are coming for the first time both to California a nd to a Pi Phi Conven· tion.

A n B Convention! What does it mean, what does it hold for each of us? For the active girl, it's her first convention, first meeting of hundreds of other actives from all parts of the United States and Canada. The Chapter Delegate, perhaps, has the greatest thrill of all, and the greatest reo sponsibility, for she is the representative of her chapter, Alumn:r, some of you too are at · tending your first Pi Phi Convention, others

are coming again anxious to renew friendships made at previous conventions. But to all of us comes the joy of meeting new Pi Phis and making new friends. Friend" How sacred the word. Born in the heart of God, and given to man as a treasure from the eternities. " - No word in the languages so heavily freighted with meaning.

The members of the Convention Commit· tee and the Pi Phis of Southern California as well as those of all Mu Provin ce are looking forward to welcoming you on June 30. The various chairmen and members of their com· mittees are putting forth every effort to make this the best of all Conventions, one that you will long remember. Come and en· joy it with us.

The bus, with a competent (and often Hollywood -handsome) young d ri ver at the wheel, soon has left the beautiful McDonald valley, and over a broad, safe, "Going-to -the -Sun" highway is purring toward the clouds whi ch hitch -hik e their way toward Logan Pass .

Logan Pass, where the highway reaches the c1oud·shrouded "crown of America," is the p la ce to catch a handful of cloudlets and a breath of bracing air before descending to lovely pine-clad and lake -studded St Mary's valley. Far be low the pass are the alpine Going -to-the-Sun chalets, named for the majestic and mystic mount ain which guards the cluster of rustic lod ges on the rocks high above the glacial waters of St . Mary ' s Lake .

During the tri p up the western slope of the R ockies and down the other side the driver may call attention to Rocky Mountain goats, clinging to sheer cliffs far above the highway; or, Bighorn sheep may cross the

broad roadway, enroute to grazing grounds; and, certai nl y, members of Glacier Park's bear family will be seen padding a long the motor trail, noses sniffing for "handouts."

Kentucky Alpha's New Kentucky Home

STEPHEN COLUNS FOSTER, in appreciation of Southern bospitality, wrote a death · less song that bas sung its way into the hearts of ""eryone who hears it-"My Old Ken · tucky Home." To many it brings vividly to mind Federal Hill, the Rowan home near Bardstown, Kentucky, where Foster was a visitor when the melody danced its plaintive way into his brain and the words drummed a tuneful tattoo until he jotted them down for others to sing. To still more, perhaps, the immortal words bring up fading pictures of their own childhood home.

To the girls of Kentucky A chapter of 11 B a>, the words, "Kentucky Horne," now have taken on a new and more significant meaning. for after fourteen years of living in a make·shift cottage that truly deserved its name, "The Hovel," and inadequate rented apartments, they have moved into a little whIte clapboard house, thus becoming the lirst fraternity in the University of Louis· ville to own its home.

The original structUre was of the type fre· quently known as "shot gun" with three rooms, one behind the other. By tearing out partitions and huilding a large room at right angles to the main part, the builders were able to produce a house containing a very large living room, an equally large dining room, a smaller kitchen, a tiny "suk" room, three large closets, and a powder room with adjoining toilets. The three closets are for coats, telephone, and archives; the so-called "sulk" room is an ideal place where a girl, who doesn't feel equal either physically or mentally to associating with the group, may rest or study.

The living room has cream colored walls, a large hay window extending from ceiling to floor, and two re$"lar size ones, all with cream Venetian blinds with wine tapes and handsome blue and cream striped draperies, wild with a riot of wine, dusty pink, and other pastel.colored Bowers. Both the blinds and the draperies were the gift of the Moth· ers' Club. One wall has an open lireplace with brass littings: lire screen, wood basket, andirons, and tongs, poker, and shovel-the gift of patrons and the families of the memo bers. Opposite the large bay are book-shelves built to the ceiling with closed cabinets be· low. Old rugs have been dyed a deep blue .

The chapter's faculty advisers have been ex· tremely generous in lending tables and lamps to make the house more livable. Dignified white lamps on cunning maple end tables Bank the ends of the couch. The next step is to provide slip covers for the day bed, large wing chair, and the davenport to offset the solid pieces of furniture. The chapter's gift to itself at Christmas was a combination radio victrola In this room the girls sit and read, entertain their friends , and on mttting nights it is here the pledges set up their card tables and have their supper after they have served the active chapter in the dining room.

The room, which is also used for chapter meebngs, is at right angles to the living room and also faces the street. An immense studio window and two other windows give more than adequate light and form colorful spots when the wine, deep blue, and white horizontally striped draperies are d.rawn across at dusk. The Boor has wine colored linoleum with silver blue Greek let· ters, nBc)}, set into it at the entrance from the hall. These letters were the gift of our chapter Founder. Here is the enormous eight-leaf dining room table, whose original solid walnut top appeared when the actives paid a refinisher to sand down the cheap unitation mahogany veneer. Low benches and a few chairs provide seating for about forty.

The kitchen boasts a new stove, purchased with some of the money collected in the cam· paign of Kentucky A Pi Beta Phis; and cabinets, table, and chairs donated by a recently graduated member who is still actively participating in chapter affairs.

A 11 B a> knocker on the front door and a small wooden II B plate on the dining room door make it quite obvious that this is no ordinary house.

To list each gift is an impossibility for many come under the head of intangibles. To give proper credit ooe must count the end· less bours that members of the House Corporation spent in working out details, and the advice, and the real estate and insurance IOformation cheerfully given and gratefully received from husbands and relatives of members.

The Pi Beta Phis found the room exceeding dirty and the only furniture, a stov" gave off such clouds of smoke that spectators feared the building was on fire However, when the walls were papered in wine and. blue and attractive furniture had been donated, the chapter room took on some semblance of charm. Bertha Brown, a charter member, recalled, in an interview some years ago, the suppers prepared here , and the special treat of picklecf onions fished out of jars with long hairpins.

After the advent of A r A in 1908 and X n and A a e. within the next three years, competitive rushing, never before considered, began. By 1914 there were thirteen women's fraternities, nine of which were locals, with an average membership of twenty.

More About Recommendations

A GMN in this issue we print a list of chairmen of alumnre recommendations; again at the end of each chapter let· ter appears the name and address of the chapter rush cartain; again we urge that you make we 0 these names .

Chapters are required not only to have a recommendation from a member of the Fraternity, but to ask these al= chair· men ior recommendations for girls who come froID places where these committees exist. In cases where committees have no information to give, chapters may apply to the Grand President for action.

This Frocedure involves a double responsibility. Alumn., must feel that theirs is equally as serious a responsibility as that of the chapters; they must be sure that names of girls sent to chapters are those of really desirable girls who will be

assets in charm and scholastic ability. Please use the rushing blank in this issue. It contains the information needed by the chapter. The information given must be definite. Such remarks as "good scholar· ship, " often have l?roved to be unreliable, a nd from hearsay mformation only.

On the other side of the picture chap. ters must realize that full attention must be given to these al= recommenda· tions; that every courtesy must be shown in each case; that they must in no case pledge a girl without the permission of the dub concerned or that of the Grand President. This year several -cases in violation of this rule carne to light only when pledge lists were published in THE AR· ROW, with much resultant disappointment Here is a fine chance for cooperation!

CAMPING DOWN AT HIGHGATE

(EDITOR'S NOTE: We are indebted to a certain Pi Beta Phi for the following excellent res ume of Camping D own 10 High ga te by Hildreth Tyler Wriston , Vermo nt B We regre t that the writer of this article will not allow us to use her name, but m ay she herewith accept o ur thanks.)

Hildreth Tyler Wriston's books grow with her own children. John and Cynthia were four years younger when D owns/reet iVith Edith appeared. Now at fourteen and twelve respectively they have inspired Campillg Down at Hi ghgate and all the delightful children who play through it-Theodore with the superiority that one additional year gives; baby Joan ; exciting Harry whose father could own in 1905 an automob ile and a motor launch; the cousins Mark and Ara · bella ; and finally Emily, brave, im ag inative , responsible, a truly charming little girl.

The plot is kept simple A f amily goes with high heart to the scene of its annual vacation, a camp site in Highgate, Vermont. There they si;'end two weeks in midsummer, 1905 . No VIllain mars the bliss unless it be the bull, but he for the most pact co nfines his bellowings to the barnyard. The ce ntral figure-Emily not overlooked-is an Indian arrow head , the "t ribe talisman" every child has to have , Taking into account her readers' interest·span, Mrs \'{Iri sto n does not postpone her highpoint to the book's end. Instead, each day brings its climax : a tent afire, a lake storm, the discovery of a cave and a river to explore.

Hi ghgate was the Tyler family 's camping ground; hence the book has the authenticity of first-hand experience It will delight children, but it will have :1. charm for grown· ups, too, especially for those who were young in 1905. They will feel nostalgic twinges as the sights aad sounds they once

knew are recreat ed: tasting the first roasted sweet ·corn of the seaso n , waiting for the train to flatten a nail laid on the r ai l, walking up and down a heavy wagon tongue-a hundred others. Even old time tunes like Mr D oo ley are ready to do their co njuring tricks. And what a reminiscent smi le g reets Papa's Temperan ce Club with its torchlight parades and the pledge never to drink "any you.know what ·sort of-thing."

When the swift passing of the days has brought the last time the family would eat supper looking out over the lake, the reader s hares Emily's sorrow. "She looked as hard as she cou ld, hoping to remember forever just how nice it was." And we close the book knowing that we shall long remember it , too.

THE AUTHOR. : Hildreth Tyler Wri ston rece ived her Ph D degree from the University of Vermont Her first book D ounJlr ee l W il h EdiJh, published in J9 3', wa s a story of th e everyday life o f a little girl in a Verm o nt village in the early J900·s.

CHRISTMAS C ELE BRATION AT SETTL EM E NT SCHOOL

Christmas at the Settlement School this time outdid any other during my time in this office. OUf program for the entertain· ment was morc simple than usual, but the shipment of Christmas boxes simply filled the office to the doors. Some boxes were huge and in some cases there were two boxes from the same club. Everything was beautifully wrapped up and on most gifts was written the name of the article and the age for which it was intended. Three boxes arrived after Christmas but it didn't matter. We used the things in the baskets for the hosp ital to give out to sick children during the year.

Senders were: Cincinnati club, athletic goods for boys; Springfie ld. Missouri. club. big box of toys; I ndia na A chapter. baby clothes. Every year this chapter sends baby clothes and we have come to depend on them. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, club, love ly big box of toys; Elizabeth Kates. Goochland, Virginia, packages of papers, quantities of pencils and note -boo ks; Wichita club. large box of toys and ca nned fruits. The Wich ita club never fails us . Mrs. Maud Stanton Western. Washington. D.C.. la rge box of pictures, Christmas cards and ribbo ns for primary g rades Des Moi n es club. big box of toys; Bellevue , Pennsylvania, club, box of toys; 51. Paul club. box of toys ; Mothers club. 51. Louis check for $10. t h is they send every year. Santa Monica club. box of gifts and toys; 51. Louis Alumn", Club. check for $5.80. Sy racuse J unior R ed Cross. box of g ifts; Sy racuse club. box of g ifts; Sigma Ph i Gamma Sorority, Muncie, In diana, chapter. huge box of clot h ing. Chicago Business Women, two boxes of gifts; Chicago North club. two boxes of toys; Asheville club. box of toys; Peoria club. box of toys; Wisconsin B chapter, box of unique toys ; Du Page club. two boxes of gifts; Burlington, Iowa, club, used c1othjng; Kansas City. clheek for $3.65.

You can see that the tea chers had no trouble in seleaing at least two nice gifts for each child. The boy who was to take the part of Santa in the play. got chicken·pox and didn't show uP. but outside of that. everything went of! beautifully.

The Weavers' Guild Christmas dinner was quite elaborate. All were seated at a table that went around three sides of the room . A group of weavers, assisted by Lura , Bess , and Edna. and directed by Gene. prepared the dinner in the Home Ec Room and the Dorm kitchen. Some of the high schoo l girls hel ped with the serving. There were presents for all under the Christmas tree. These were purchased as well as most of the food, with prize money from the Knoxville Fair . Lovely trimmings were donated by Mrs. Voorheis; and fancy candies by an interested Arrowcraft customer staying at the hotel. Mrs. Sandberg. Jerry McCutcheo n showed colored movies of the mountains, Mrs. Voorheis' gardens, and Gene Redding 's garden at Hebron.

FIRST MOVE TO PRESENT MOUNTAIN LIFE TO VISITORS WEAVERS ' PLAY TO RUN THROUGH SUMMER

Sponsored by Miss Redding and directed by Mr. Pa l mer, the weavers are to put on their play this summer for the benefit of tour i sts. Great effort has been made to prese rve the mounta in atmosphere in stag ing and p lot, which wi ll give many outsiders th eir first/ l impse of mounta in life as it has been live for generations. Those who attended the Convention two years ago in Asheville will not forget the colorful presentation of Settlement Sclhool day and it is hoped that many more may have the op!?"rtunity of viewing this summer's productIOn . The play will be given once each week

throughout the summer season . With the propcr response, it may become an institu· tion so that the old way of life may not be lost. The subject matter was compiled by and the cast made up from t h e Itst of those women weaving for the school and for that reason has accented interest for all Pi Phis.

THE GIRL SCOUTS ANNUAL TEA

Th e last week of F eb r uary saw the annual celebration of the Girl Scou ts-their silver tea at the Teacher's Cottage. It is a very popular occasion and the attendance was

good. Each girl exerted herself to see that the guests were properly entertai n ed and they are SO well organized that when things seemed to stagnate somewhat, the word "shift" went around and each guest found himself with a new and eager entertainer . A large p icture of George Washington hung in the hall and a big /lag above the living room davenport. Coffee and little cakes with hatchets on top were served .

RECENT ARRI V ALS FOR LIBRARY USE

Miriam H erron of Illinois H from Flint, Michigan, sent in a shipment of love ly books for children. They had been samples for a library and so were quite new looking . The teachers were delighted. Also a set of encyclopedias and a set of Shakespeare do n ated by Miss Fleming, chaperon at Illinois Z chapter house, were placed on a shelf in the dimng room where the dorm students study at n ight. All such thoughtful gifts are most acceptable a nd of great service to t h e prope r conduct of the school.

Impressions of Iceland

By MARGARET BJORNSON, Manitoba A

THE circumstances under which an American of foreign extraction visits the land of her fathers have a peculiarity which springs from the fact that although almost three generations have been subject to a rapid process of assimilation in this co untry, the traditions of many centuries can hardly have become extinct. These traditions exist not as an actuality, but rather in one's background. But to return to Iceland co nditions an immediate and instinctive response to its culture, to the surroundings from which this culture came into being.

An aura of mysticism and romance has always hung like a mist over the north; that Iceland is a tip of a lost continent- the fabled Atlantis-heightens the interest. There is a morbid fascination about life and cultu re on a volcanic island rudely indented by a jealous sea.

Against the darkness of a drirping night, the great dim mass arising out 0 the sea into the fog is as fant asticaIly unreal, as terribly awe-inspiring as the legendary Ultima Thul e: salt spray and the strong smell of fish , but the travesty of dismal street lamps; the harbor with its rusty coal barges and picturesque fishing trawlers; tangled masts stretching up through the rain.

The usual monotonous grey of the landscape intensifies the sheer startling beauty, the magnificent extravagance of the colors when the sun comes out. I am remembering one day on the Bargarfjord. The sun was pale gold over the mountains, and cast rosy shadows on the white-headed peaks. The little streams were clear and dark, and almost sang their way along. In the early afternoon the sun began to drop. Great bars of purple and saffron splashed across the sky, reflected themselves in the blue deep of the fjord, and

were lost in the flames of the sun. Behind us, the last pale fingers of light were rapidly pulling the dusk shrouding over the mountains, until the peaks, veiled in grey, stood like ghostly norns guarding the entrance to Ultima Thule at the lag end of the world. Over the barrier I suspect, there is no twi light of the gods, and the noble figure of Wotan still dominates the Valkyrie. Brunnhilde is seen dimly on every mountain top. Norse mythology springs from, and has it s life in such a background.

But we have in Ice land more than a vaporous mythology. We have a so lid literary tradition based on the sagas; we have a folklore replete with the mysticism and superstition so characteristic of our people. (And it is impossible at this point not to remember the superb embodiment by Einar Jon sso n , the sculptor, of some of these leg ends, the symbolism with which he has invested them. I am thinking especially of the troll, petrified by the advent of morning, and the maiden to whom the d awn brings freedom.)

Life in Reykjavik , the capital, is more continental than Ameri can. The tempo is unhurried, the coffee houses are full , people congregate in the streets to discuss affairs of the day. The members of Parliament gather informalIy in Hotel Borg every afternoon, and much of Bohemi an society gathers in Hotel Island. A great deal of brillian ce is attached to the social life of the University and to the visits of Dani s h royalty.

Iceland is an anomaly geographically and culturally, and it is essential that we of Icelandic origin in this country realize our heritage, and that we bend our efforts towards the maintenance of the wealth in traditions and customs and national traits.

A Child in India

By EVELYN FAUCETT, [ o lva B

IWAS BORN in Moradabad. a city situated in the northern part of In dia, where my parents were missionaries. When I was three years old, I came to the States with my parents, older sister and two brothers . The one remembran ce that I have of that trip over was the time that I slipped under the railing of the sh ip and standing on the tiny ledge, with nothing between me and the blue ocean, I delightedly called to my mother to "look at me!" Needless to say , I never did it again.

When we returned to India after a year's furlough , I had learned to speak English. Up to that time I had only spoken the Indian vernacular which I had picked up from my native nurse and little playmates. On coming to America I soon found out that I was definitely not understood!

I divided the next six years of my life between going to an Ameri ca n school situated in the Him alayan mountains , and having my vacations on the "plains." After another furlough, during which time I attended the grade school in Indianola , Iowa, we returned to India and were transferred to a little town ca lled Ballia. This little place was scarcely larger than a village and during my vacations from school I had quite a time finding something to do .

severest earthquakes that has ever been experienced there. Thousands of people were killed in the few minutes that it lasted. Our own home was cracked in places but otherwise withstood the shock. It was an experience that I would never want to go through again.

Our home on the plains was of a bungalow style. The rooms were very large and the ceilings very high to allow for coolness in the heat of the summer. The roof was flat and many were the nights that we slept there right out under the stars. We had no electricity in this little town so we had to use lannps and lanterns. Our water was drawn from a well in the compound and was used for everything from water· ing the garden to drinking. All of the water and mille that we drank had to be boiled for typhoid fever is an ever.present menace.

The homes of the natives are very simple indeed. A little mud hut with a thatched roof is a comfortable place for them. The floor is used for tables, chairs and often as not, beds. There is very little fumi· ture. Most of the little children run around

innocent of all clothing except for a string around the waist or a necklace of shells or charms to ward off evil spirits.

While I was still in school, my sister came over from the States to visit us. She stayed until I graduated from high school and then on our way home from school we took a sight·seeing trip through north· ern India. One of the greatest thrills of this trip was when I looked on the exquisite sight of the Taj Maha!. We wandered through ruins; padded around temples, shoe· less, for that was the only way we were allowed to get into these sacred places; and explored forts to our heart's content.

That winter I came to America with my parents and sister. My family stayed until February of the year I was a Freshman at Simpson College, Indianola, Iowa, and then returned to India for a term of seven years. "Will I go back to India?" people ask me. Some day, I hope, for exciting as America is, I often get a hungry desire to go back to the land where I was born and where I lived for fifteen happy years.

Shortly after her graduatio n in 1887 she was appointed ARROW Editor and its change from a literary magazine into one concerned chiefly with fratern ity topi cs was largely attributed to her loyalty and her untiring effort at that time.

Her interest in n B <I> was never dulled by her many responsibilities and activities and she was a vital for ce in the Los Angeles Alumnre Club, from the time of its incept ion . Her keen intellect, her splendid forceful character, and her devotion to the ideals of IT B <I> made her an inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing her .

Her husband's death, less than a year ago, left her broken in health but her last illness was not co nsidered crit ica l until a short time before her death. She leaves a son, Morse A .
