Home Economics
Day Observed
PRACTICE DINING ROOM
OPENED

The new practice dining room in
Science Hall, Women's College of
Delaware, was formally opened
last Friday afternoon when the
students in the department of
Home Economics gave a tea from
three until five o'clock. The date
December third, had been select
ed by the students in honor of the
birthday anniversary of Janet
Richards, the pioneer and the au-
thority in the realm of Home Eco
nomics.
The attractive new dining room
which adjoins the pantry and cook
ing laboratories, has afforded a
splendid opportunity for the girls
to put their theoretical knowledge
into practice. Every detail of the
furnishing and it's equipment has
been estimated upon, and discus
sed by the students of the depart
ment.
The walls and woodwork of the
room have been finished in soft
shades of brown to blend with the
rug and furnishings of the room.
The rug was selected by the girls
themselves, from an assortment
sent to the college, which afforded
the students an opportunity to
learn of the different weaves and
relative wearing qualities of the
rugs. The furnishings are of
fumed oak. New silverware and
china have also been added to the
general equipment. Hand hem
stitched curtains of ecru scrim, ell
egant in their simplicity, furnish
finishing touch to the windows.
Tea, candies, and dainty cakes,
made and served by the girls them
selves, added to the pleasure of
the afternoon.

Need For Federal Censorship

The International Reform Bu-
reau in campaign to bring about
a higher grade of motion pictures,
publishes the following statement.
Quoting from letter OF Carl
Lammle, President of the Univer-
sal Film Company, the writer says:
Several weeks ago l published
a straight-from-the-sho talk
entitled, Which Do You Want?'
asking the exhibitors of America
to state whether they preferred
vlean, wholesome pictures or
smutty ones"
"Instead of finding that 95 per
cent favored clean pictures, | dis
covered that at least half, and
maybe sixty per cent, want the
pictures to be 'risque,' which is a
French way of saying 'smutty'."
PERSONALLY I am against them
from soda to hook, but If the de-
mand for them is so overwhelming
lv great, we will bow to the su-
perior wisdom of the majority.
Surely every good citizen, the
article continues, especially If a
dutiful parent, teacher, or pastor,
is bound to answer this statement
bv telegraphing his Congressman
and Senators to rush through Con-
oress in December, as Christ
mas present to safeguard the
homes of the land, the Hughes
bill, to provide federal censor
ship of films, already half way to
victory by unanimous report IN
the last Congress.

NEW CENTURY
CLUB NEWS
Mrs. Mitchell Presents Pictures
From German History
Club Discusses Loan For
New Club House

An interesting literary and busi-
ness hour marked this weeks
meeting of the New Century
Club of Newark. The order of
the program was reversed and the
afternoon begun with a paper by
Mrs. Mitchell on Pictures from
German History" Mrs. Mitchell
in most novel and interesting
way, presented the development of
German history in series of lit
erary tableaux. Through this or
iginal method of presenting his
tory she infused life and interest
in what would otherwise be a dry
and technical subject.
The first tableau brings us into
what Mrs. Mitchell called the en-
chanting borderland between
fable and history. 1t is 113 years
before the birth of Christ when
the Celts and Teutons invade
Northern Italy. With the second
tableau, fifty years later we come
into the regions of history of
which the annals of Tacitus now
give us reliable information. The
tribe of the Cherusci, under their
chief Arminius have defied Rome,
and Augustus Caesar has sent his
general Varus to subdue, them;
but he was defeated by the Ger
mans fighting for their fatherland.
Mrs. Mitchell makes the curtain
rise on one scene of this tableau,
namely the meeting between Ar
minus fighting for the Germans,
and his brother Flavius who has
gone over to the Roman side. Ar
minus reminds his brother of the
sacredness of Fatherland, Of an
cestral liberty, of the native gods
of Germany, "To be Emperor of
Rome would not tempt me to be-
"The scene of the two brothers,"
Mrs. Mitchell adds, has lived in
history, not only because of it's
heart interest, but because Armin-
ius is typical of the German
simple. staunch devotion to Faith
erland. The great German heroes
from Charlemagne to Bismarck,
are but the spirit of Arminius re-
appearing-just as in England
John Hampden, Cromwell and
Hauley are all manifestations of
the same British doggedness and
independence"
The next tableau brings us to
the seventh century when Chris
tianity was beginning to spread in
Germany. It gives the story of
Boniface and the Oak, and shows
him like an Elisha on Mt. Carmel
accomplishing the miracle that
was needed to destroy the all per-
vasive superstitions of the heath
ems.
We jump eight centuries, and we
find ourselves transported to the
beginning of the Renaissance,
the time of the great inventions.
Gutenberg with his wooden blocks
is the hero of our tableau.
Almost a hundred years have
gone by and here is before us the
picture of Martin Luther at the
Diet of Worms, exclaiming in the
faces of princes and prelates "Here
stand, l can no otherwise, God
help me! Amenw
The reformation, Mrs. Mitchell
said, quoting the words of Mac
Muller, is not the work of Luther
alone. "No really great man ever
stood alone. The secret of their
greatness lies in their under
standing the spirit of the age in
which they live, and giving express
