A LBERT K CHESTERTON the English essayist
n and journalist who IS now teaching at Notre
Dame would like to see woman surrender her place in
the world OF business and return to the less exciting
and less lucrative employment of the home; but she
never will do it.
She is seeing money now where she seldom if
ever saw it before; her hours are shorter and her
liberty is bounded only by imagination.
Her entrance into business is one of the great
causes of unemployment but she's there to stay and
an the kings horses ana all the kings men" couldn't
drag her cut OF it.
OHEsTERTON expresses the emotions of many
~ when he longs for restoration of the system
which placed man out in the battle of life and
at the freside to keep the house and raise
the kids, but instead of going back to it we are 60
ing more in the opposite direction.
Unless the tide turns there viii be less marrying

cooked meal will be an object so strange that people
will travel hundreds of miles to look at it.
When that time comes the national anthem will
be There's no place like the cafeteria"
It's good thing that John Howard Payne lived
when he did. otherwise We never would have had
Home Sweet Home
When he wrote that tribute to the old homestead
he was homesick traveller and he thought of the
old place down on Long Island where he was born
LIE thought OF place where the men worked in
L in the fields and the women worked in the
house, where bread was baked and cloth was woven
and every roof sheltered sef-relant band that sup
piled almost all its own needs.
That home was the whole world to those who
lived in it, that home and the village church.

Payne never dreamed of our hit and run age; he
did not know that time would come when would
all be "en route" instead of anchored somewhere
He didn't dream that time would arrive when
the race would be more interested in horse power
than in salvation
But the time has come and we can not turn back
the hands of the clock.
Mr. Chesterton and all the rest Of US may yearn
for the old simplicity. but the only answer to our
yearning viii be the jamning of brakes at the corner
and in little while it win be the lighting Of the
airplane on the roof.

First lime Out

DUT there remains the mystery
Id about the first adventure-the
first time out. I've always been
curious about the members Of all the
precarious professions.
For instance, does a bridge jumper
get his start by practicing little leaps
from rude arches which span coun-
try creeks? Or does he get out in
the middle of some towering metro
politan span and say, "In just about
two minutes III tell you whether
I'm a bridge jumper or not?
With lion tanning, trapeze acts
and being shot out of q gun, there
must always be that first sharp test.
Few Of these things can be worked
up gradually. For instance, that
man whom 1 saw in the last circus
hardly could have begun by being
shot out Of a cap pistol.
1t may be, of course, that Sidney
Franklin chose for his holiday some
spot as far removed as possible from
the spirit Of Spain and the bull ring.
In such event he may have made a,
wise selection. He can lie in the
trim backyard Of a Brooklyn home
and watch the quiet Spires.
To him there will come no roar
Of the crowd nor any echo of dis
tant below. Nothing will break the
Sabbath calm but the occasional
honk Of an automobile horn as
neighbors hurry to cross the river to
Manhattan.

Entertaining

XXTELL, sid, we've got a lively
w day planned for you Right
after breakfast we'll run down the
street and shoot a couple of rounds
of Tom Thumb golf. You probably
want to get your muscles lirnbered
up after your long voyage on the
steamer. There's nothing like some
keen competition to get the blood
stirring.
;;For lunch we're going to the Hor-
witzes. You remember them, Sadie
Horwitz was in your class in school.
She was the girl that used to wear
the bright red hair ribbons. She's
the one that squints a little.
"And then the whole crowd of us
are going to see a talking picture.
I hear it's a thriller. In the big
scene the hero jumps over q i've
foot fence to get away from a fox
terrier which is pursuing him.
Then at night, of course, there's
the dance and dinner. That's a
joint affair. The Golden Rule Club
and the Safety First society have
both come in on it.
And, of course, we won't go over
to the dinner without giving you a
chance to hear Amos n Andy on
the radio. You'll die laughing.

In Public Square

NHE first use of arc lights for
Il permanent public street light
ing anywhere in the world was in
the public square Of Cleveland. IN
April, 1879, twelve lamps of 1000
candlepoWer each we're installed on
high ornamental poles
While We were putting up the
poles and line circuit, a great deal Of
interest WIS manifest by the pub
lie, and on the evening when the
lights formally were started. the
square was crowded with people,"
Brush said on one occasion.
Many evidently expected 2 blind
ing glare of light, as they had pros
vided themselves with colored spec
tacles or smoke glasses.
OF course, there was at first
general feeling of disappointment
in this respect, although every one
was willing to admit that he could
read with ease in any part of the
square.
"After few weeks, however,
when the novelty had worn off. and.
the people had tired of staring at
the lamps, the general verdict was
highly favorable to the new light"
Brush's arc lamps were exhibited
in London in 1880 This led to the
formation Of the Anglo-A American
Brush Electric Light Corporation,
Ltd.
Early installations Of arc lights iri
England included the house OF. par
lament, Charing Cross station
Blackfriars bridge and st. Paula
churchyard.
In 1882 the arc lights were ex4
hibited in Toxic, and as q result the
Japanese government ordered them
for the navy yard at Yokuska.

No Agreement Here

DEMOCRATS are in no better
IL shape when it comes to any
thing like an agreed policy on great
national issues.
If some of them opposed the
Grundy tariff bill, others helped to
pass it. If some are wet, others are
dry. If some stand for state rights,
others are willing to aggrandiza the
federal government for the sake of
some local improvement.
If Democratic leaders are all wet
in New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, the party still glories
in the father of the eighteenth
amendment" Senator Sheppard
from Texas, and still faces the task
Of accommodating its platforms and
declarations to many important dry
states.

Out of Date

XXTE are becoming inarticulate
b wv politically, wholly incapable of
expressing ourselves on many of the
more important national problems.
Whether the tWo-party system has
broken down, the parties have, and
chiefly because they were formed at
time when few of the present day
problems existed.
The Democratic party, as we
know it, came into being about 100
years ago. and continues to talk its
original platitudes, while the Re-
publican party cannot forget that it
was born of the abolition move
n1ent.
Great and glorious as such an his
torical background may be, it has
little to do with Muscle Shoals con-
crete highways and the world court,
not to, mention Volsteadisrn, Soviet
Russia and farm relief.

We still have two major parties,

If the drift is Democratic, as

crowd getting to the pie counter?
The only way an average Ameri-
can express is himself honestly these

half the time. If he moves to a
different state while doing so, he is
more than likely to discover that
he has jumped from the frying pan

N0RTHEND SCHOOL
 PARENTS ARE FIRM
P. & T. Association Leaders Hope to Obtain New Building

Every member of the building and executive committees of the North end school Parents and Teachers Association vated at a meeting last night to attend the conference be- tween Mayor George A. Quigley and the school board representatives next Tuesday night if the meeting is open to the public. On that oc- casion the school committee will try to convince the mayor of the need of q new school building in the dis trict.
 The committee decided to adopt watchful waiting policy until after next Tuesday when it will be learned whether the mayor is willing to put his stamp of approval on the pro- ject.
 The entire personnel of the two committees was present last night. Regret was expressed that the spe- cial school board committee and the mayor had not been able to meet. The need for unemployment relief, especially among workers in the building trades was another factor that would bring about q change in the mayors mind, it was said at the meeting.
 The mayors attitude in calling for more serious consideration be- fore application for funds is made was approved by the members. The committee felt that arguments in favor of building at this time more than outweighed any reason so far offered for not permitting the school board to proceed as speedily as pos sible with plans for the new build ing.
 Although several plans were de- cided upon after d discussion it was felt that no definite action should be taken until after the mayor has met with the members of the school board. The association representa- lives did not wish to hamper either the mayor or the school board in their official duties, they said.
 A report on the survey of the lighting of the school was presented but release of this report, in con- mon with other specific arguments for abandonment of the old school, was left to the discretion of the off, cers.

 Edmund Huysmans, counsellor for the architect, presented evidence to- day tending to establ that War ren was given full authority in all departments of the building plan.
 '1s it not comforting" he said, ailuding to a letter written by the rector in 1928, calling Warren an idealist. ito discover some idealism in the heart of an American? Mon sieur Warren is not after money in this affair, and he is ready to give Up all material claims providing the inscription remains"
 The attorney recalled that War rcn accepted the commission to de- sign the library if he were given free hand. His condition. according to another letter from the rector, was accepted.
 The disputed inscription read: Destroyed by Teutonic Fury, Re stored by American Generosity"
