Speaker Suggests Home Economics as Likely Career
Dr. Sybil Woodruff Cites Openings for Women in Scientific Research
The turnover among occupants of positions in the field of home economics is so great that there is almost no limit to the number of people that can work there. The statement of Dr. Sybil Woodruff, of the home economics department, in her talk at the last W. S. G. A. "Choose Your Career" week meeting, yesterday afternoon at 4:30 in conference building auditorium.
"Many people wha't, they think of home economics think only of the domestic science side. However, home economics ships that it is very much more than domestic science," Doctor Woodruff said. "It includes the material necessities such as food and its preparation, and it includes the aesthetic relationship."
No.120
Doctor Woodraff" said that as all women were considered as potential home makers, that she would not take up that side of home economics. She dealt more with the business or professional side of the work.
Research Work Opening
Home economics work might in- into two distinct classes. There is the type that is strictly home economic training, which is most common; which home economic training is supplementary to another profession, a profession in which it will be of great interest to you; and the stunning of the problems of the home maker for use in her chosen work, said Doctor Wordriff in talking about these problems, the most attractive to the average student.
"The opportunities for women in research in home economics problems have multiplied very much during the last year and there will be a great many more opportunities during the next few years because the field is gradually opening up." Doctor Woods ruff said. "For research, it helps us understand how we have the very best sort of training in graduate work in order to be able to handle the work."
Types of problems which are being undertaken in this research are nutrition problems, problems in food and beverage expenditures and in general economics.
Doctor Woodruff said that there were great opportunities open to women in textile testing laboratories. Mr. Woodruff has worked at Sears Roebuck & Company in Chicago, Another textile field that is just opening up in the dry cleaning industry. Another very fertile and attractive workplace for women in nitrile, dormitories and summer camps.
Doctor Woodruff told of the resource work being carried on by many well-known companies all over the United States, and women who she draws very large salaries.
Home economics training is valuable for people employed by advertising agencies. Anyone interested in journalism would be interested in this phase of the work. Doctor's magazine, or newly published papers or for monthly and weekly magazines are being very well paid for such articles.
Code of Ethics Suggested
In closing, Doctor Woodcraft said that he would recommend some standards of ethics for all women who go either into this kind of a profession or into any other kind. "Whatever you do in one profession, you must have at least two professions, for women are being watched very carefully. So many women that go into professional work have no sense of professional response."
"Choose Your Career" wock is swept annually by W. S. G. A. and Women's Forum. The committee in charge this year was Lillian Bridgesman, chairman; Beth E. Edmundson, chairman; Beth E. Marbelli Skaffer and Margaret Brett.

Henry James Is Topic of Literature Lecture by Miss Marian Ross
History of Author's Career and Criticism of Works Are Taken Up
"Both England and the United States would be glad to claim the works of Henry James," said Miss Jane Sullivan, a professor in her talk on this author at the freshman contemporary literature lecture given in Fresnell Hall today after
Henry James was born in New York where he spent much of his childhood. He always tried to line up to his teacher and was a highly skilled psychologist who was two years older than him. His father also was one of his most constant companions. He was taken to Europe early in life and gained much of his education in London and Berlin.
He tried to study art at Newport for a time but was never successful in this line. In 1865 William Dean Howell, then editor of the Atlantic Monthly, published James first short story in that magazine. His first book, *Pilgrim*, which appeared in 1871 and really began the first period of his career as a writer. He spent most of his life in England, living at Rye in warm weather and in London in cold. He was very anxious for the United States to enter the World War and when it did not, he became an American citizen just in time to miss seeing the United States enter the war.
His career work extends from 1871 until 1890. In this period he leans much to setting and character with little attention to action. In his later years, he was able to style becomes rather complicated and is harder to read and understand.
In this period he still tends toward characterization rather than setting and action. In 1900 he rowed his boat through the complicated style of the later works. He was attracted by the glamor of old houses and customs of the continent and much of the artistry of this is given in some of his works.
Selectees were read from "The Portrait of a Lady," and "Four Meetings." For those who have not read Henry James, Miss Rose advises readers to read James Miller's "The Portrait of a Lady," and "The Spoils of Poyton."

Susanna Jacobsen begins his bilt test consecutive American senior with a reputation finally established as an investigator before the public, according to Dean D. M. Swarthon.

Children of Kansas Need Playgrounds, Says Smith
"Children play in the streets of small Kansas town in about the same way they do in the streets of New York and Philadelphia," said Harold D. Smith of the League for Children. "The Value of City Planning," which was broadcast over KFKU, Thursday night. Mr. Smith said that the Kansas towns were no better provided with playgrounds in proportion than the larger cities. He explained that the laws of Kansas permit any city to have a city planning commission and to build the things such a commission could do.
Mr. Smith said in closing that it was inconceivable that traffic demands for all streets would be the same, so he made no sense to make for broad through highways to connect the city with outlying districts and other cities, that secondary streets feel these main thoroughfares, and that streets will be fed by minor or domestic streets.
League Council's Dispute May End in Spain's Election
England Will Not Oppose
Elevation of Nations
Other Than
Germany
Germany
(United Press)
Geneva, March 5—China today formally demandd a permanent seat on the League of Nations Council.
London, March 5—Diplomatic observers today were convinced that the dispute over permanent League of Nations' council membership would be settled by the election of Spain in addition to Germany.
Spain's elevation possibly, although not necessarily, would occur during the meeting of the council next week. It is believed that Germany will assume a reasonable attitude with regard to Spain and might appoint a section within a few days after Germany's entrance to the League.
London, March 5.—Upon Sweden today rests the responsibility of Poland, Spain, and Brazil's progress in the war against Russia in the League of Nations council.
Foreign secretary Sir Austin Chamberlain intimated that there would be no British opposition to the elevation of countries other than Germany to permanent membership, in his state of affairs. He also indicated the house of commons. Politicians generally are agreed that Great Britain has shifted the responsibility across the North Sea to Stockholm. Liberal and Laborite newspapers have welcomed Sir Austin for "worse caution" of a definite statement of policy.
The comparatively small vote whereby the report was approved in the bone tells the story of the disaffection with the government's handling of the issue, with a total of 615 members, mustered only 224 vote in favor of the government. If the dissatisfied conservatives who abstained from voting had cast their votes against the government, the Edwin ministry would have been elected.
The daily comments conclude the foreign secretary's attitude means Spain will be admitted to permanent residence in Geneva along with Germany.

Professor Crafton Speaks at First Y.M.C.A.Meeting
Discussion Centers Around
Work of Eugene O'Neill,
Great American
Dramatist
Contering his talk about a discussion of Eugene O'Neill, the play-wright, Prof. Allen Crafton addressed the room honeymoon meeting of the Y. Celebrating it with the topic, "An Idealist's Quarrel with a Materialist," "O'Neill" Crafton said, "is an idealist. It is a proof that he is an idealist when we consider abstract ideas and develops an idea by some concrete method."
Professor Crafton brought out the fact that there was little of the spiritual in modern poetry and drama. He expressed the regret that the modern attitude in these two arts is that "God's in his heaven and all's wrong with the world"; he said, "God's in the world for the very reason that God is in his heaven and is not very much in evidence in our life as a nation."
Poet and Dramatist Akin
"The business of both the poet and the dramatist is fundamentally the name," Professor Cratton said. "The two artists seek to reveal and to interpret life. There is, however, this drama. The artist arrives at the poet arranges with his public and the poet arranges abid of it. The work of the two artists sum up the ideals, the temper, the life of an age. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to look at the poems, the texts and dramatics for an expression and interpretation of our times."
As a way to visualize the character of our period Professor Craffon gave a brief review of the modern America of the 1960s and its investigation of our drama." Professor Craffon said, "lead us to a low level of darkness. The spiritual is dead. This generation of women gutters, drunks, abnormality and subnormality, degeneracy, profanity, cynicism, irony, decay, horror, jazz, empty shells, war, kill, fill our plays, and fill our poetry."
Plays Are Reviewed
O'Neill, according to Crafton, is the greatest dramatist that America has ever produced and is the greatest living figure in American literature. O'Neill's life of wanderlust and his plays Crafton reviewed. "Through this series of plays," said Crafton, "you can see how much he loves the situation; you can hear him cry out in his pain against the brutality of a civilization without faith and without honor. O'Neill has remained brave; he has kept faith with his own children. And no one else have wounded him as the present civilization has done."
"This is what I find then." Professor Crafton concluded, "in the subject that I have come to discuss. It doesn't offer much hope for early salvation. It doesn't show us as marching toward a condition of greater spirituality. But it doesn't show us that predominantly materialistic, is a bad civilization, and that the spiritual is necessary to a life which is worth living."
Beal Speaks at Luncheon
"Functions of an Architect," Is Subject Discussed
"The Functions of an Architecte" the on subject in the book George B. Buchanan, Architecture School of Engineering, spoke Thursday noon at the weekly Kwai club审

Professor Real urged that anyone contemplating construction of a home or any building consult an architect to secure the best possible results.
