French Hats Come to U.S.A. By Clipper
Although the Frenchmen have a war to fight, the milliners aren't letting it stop the shipping of bandboxes, each containing spring bonnets.
The journeyings of these hats are precarious. The majority are sent by plane and some arrive slightly the worse for wear, their fragile boxes crushed; but they do come and prove that the fingers of French milliners are still weaving straws, that the fleurists are still folding the petals of flowers so realistically that all they leak is perfume, and that ribbon manufacturers are still making rainbow hues.
The crowns of these French hats, which serve as models for French designers, rest firmly, even on straw sailors. There is a tendency to turn brims down at the back so that they fit close to the hair. The modified cloche is here again, made frequently with a cushion brim.
Little bonnets that bare the brow and a goodly band of the front hair are among the emissaries of the Paris spring millinery mode which have made their way here. Some are shaped like baby bonnets and with trimmings of fine bead embroidery. An example of this style has a half wreath of small field flowers at the front. One designer has provided her bonnets with ribbon streamers that come from under the sides of the brim and pass under the chin where they are tied in a fetching bow.
Many of the birds returning north for spring will light on little straw sailors in a rainbow of color. Birds are perched at all angles on the perky bonnets, keeping company with yards of veiling and dozens of bright flowers. The wearers of these spring hats will be walking heralds of spring.

Desk For Clay Molders Designed By G.M. Beal
The "clay molders" of the department of architecture in the School of Engineering and Architecture, the nick name of students who use clay to aid in their study of designing, find their work facilitated this year through the use of a new type of work desk, designed by Professor G. M. Beal, professor in the department of architecture.
Forensic Groups Begin Busy Week
The desk was designed to aid primarily in three dimensional form study. The purpose of three dimensional form study is to enable the student to see his final construction in three dimensions by the use of clay molds. After the clay form is completed, the usual work of elevation, plans and perspective is carried out.
Five debates in two days is the schedule of the University forensic groups this week as announced today by Prof. E. C. Buehler, debate coach.

COVEY'S
The highlight of the evening will be a demonstration of the work of "Dutchy." "Dutchy" will give exhibitions of the ways he aids John to lead the life of a normal person. John will close the program with a short talk on the Seeing Eye Institute.
Through programs such as this, John said today that "he hoped to acquaint people who are blind with the good which can be done to aid blind people to lead a normal life." John is not enrolled this semester but plans to re-enter school in the fall.
