Schools Plan Changes

The Graduate and Foreign Ser
vice Schools will introduce a mum.
ber of changes in the coming year.
The Department of Astronomy
will be revived in the Graduate
School. For the present these
courses will lead only to a mas
ter's degree.
The work will be under the di-
rection of DR.. Paul A. McNally,
s. j., director of the Georgetown
Observatory. DR.. McNally headed
the first scientific expedition ever
sent out by Georgetown in 1882
when he studied the sun eclipse
from a station in Fryeburg, Me.
So successful was his work then
that he was chosen as leader of a
joint expedition sent to Siberia by
Georgetown and the National Geo
graphic Society. Again in 1887 he
accompanied the National Geo.
graphic Society group sent to
study the sun sclipse from the
Island of Canton in the South Pa
cific Ocean.

With Georgetown Univer S t y
planning next spring to celebrate
the SeSquicentennial OF its found
ing, the 1938-39 academic year
starting this month looms as an
important milestone in the prog
ress of WaShington's oldest edu

From all indications the regis

Of IS per cent reported last year
for new enrollments in the uni
Versity. This increase will be re-
flected particularly ln the College
Of Arts and Sciences which opens
September IA.
Freshn1on Week
Freshmen will be given a week

Kehoe, S. j., prefect of discipline,
and other members of the faculty
will help the freshmen adjust
themselves to new courses and
campus life. Seniors will report
September 23.
In the Foreign Service School,
which has reorganized its aca-
demic structure to a large extent,
freshmen also will report Sep
tember IA, with classes commenc-
ing September 10. Other depart
mentS, such as the law, medicine

from digging them in the ribs and
intimating that they are ONCE Lo-
tharios. And. for another thing, the
pretty girl is seldom efiicient. She
trusts to getting by on her looks and,
anyway, she doesn't expect to work
long. Marriage is her career.
Nor does it help a girl to get a
job as saleswoman to be too pulcl1rt-
tudinous, for merchants have found
out that women don't like to buy from
clerks who present a too invidious
comparison to themselves. Many a
woman decides that she won't take
the hat she was crazy about when she
saw it being modelled by q golden
headed fresh young beauty, where 1t
looks so ravishing, and then sees how
like heck it looks when she gets It
on her own grizzled head above her
own withered face.
Nor do her looks go AS far toward
getting a woman a husband as they
are popularity supposed to do. Men
rave over beauty, but seldom marry
it, as you will observe if you will look
around among your married friends.
And the moral Of it all is that while
it must be great source of satisfac-
ton to woman to be able TO enjoy
looking at herself in a mirror, it
really doesn't get her very far. There
are just as many drawbacks to it as
there are advantages.

TT APPEARS that Uncle Sam, old
as he Is, still has an eye out for a
pretty girl. Women in Govern
L ment employment Offices in WASH
ington who are non-beauty-prize win
ners have raised tempest in teapot
by claiming that they are discrim-
mated against because Of their looks
They assert that promotions are
handled on pulchritude basis and
that the Miss Americas" get all the
breaks; that it profits woman moth
ing to have a long record of efficient
service if she hasn't limpid eyes with
the come-hither look in them and
doesn't know how to pet.
So bitter is the cry of these dis
tressed ladies that a gallant Southern
Senator has demanded that congress
sional inquiry be made into the matter
to determine whether the heads of de-
partments pick out their female as
sistants because they are easy on the
eyes and look kissable, or because they
know how to spell and take dictation
and juggle figures.
OF the merits Of this particular case
we are unaware, but it brings up the
ever interesting and never settled
question of what part woman's looks
play in her success in life and how
great handicap the lack of beauty is.
Is woman simply out of luck if she
isn't pretty? Is girls face still her
fortune, as the maiden sang in the
old ballad? Is the outside of her head
more important than the inside, and
is it better for her to have naturally
wavy hair and a peaches-and-crea
complexion than to have brains?
OF course the general belief is that
beauty is always a woman's best bet,
probably based on the theory that if
she has that she can get everything
else for herself. Anyway, 1t is the gift
every mother prays that her fairy
godmother will drop into her girl
baby's cradle, and it is what the girl
herself would choose II she knew what
it was all about. It is the thing that
every man notices first about woman,
and accepts as an alibi for dumbness
and selfishness and general lack of
gumption.
IN SPITE of all this, however, and
the extravagant valuation we put
on beauty in books, plays and the
movies. do not believe that looks are
any particular factor in a woman's
success, provided she is not hideously
ugly and provided that she is always
we'll dressed, we'll groomed and that
her homely face shows intelligence
and good nature. Naturally, no en-
ployer would like to spend his days
looking at monstrosity or trump or
human pickle bottle But eliminate
ing these, the average man doesn't
know or care whether his secretary
has soulful orbs or myopic eyes,
whether her nose IS classic Greek or
pug. All he is interested in is the
way she does the work for which he
pays her.
As matter of fact, most men pre-
fer women employees who are plain

Ry ELSIE PIERCE.


ONE skin and hair specialist I know
contends that brushing is of no
value because the brush is seldom
sterilized properly and for that reason

agree with that authority in so far as
the worthlessness of brushing with an
unclean brush is concerned. But
there is no reason why woman in
telligent enough to recognize the value
Of brushing to keep the scalp clean
and the hair shiny should not recog-
rize, too, that a clean brush is essen
tial.
When you are brushing your hair,
have a towel handy, and wipe the
brush carefully after every few strokes.
If you have two brushes, which is
very worthwhile investment, you can
alternate them so that one is ready for
use while the other is drying after
sterilization. Complete directions for
care and sterilization Of the brush are
contained in a bulletin on the subject
called THE Hair Brush How to
Choose, Use and Sterilize It." If you
wish it, send a self-addressed, stamped
(3-cent) envelope with your request,
please.
A clever little trick that Hollywood
stars employ is to cover the brush with
a pieces of coarse-meshed gauze. Force
the gauze deep down over the bristles.
Then brush with the proverbial vim
and vigor" The gauze acts as dust
and lint-catching screen, and also abb
serbs excess oil from the hair. After
the brushing is finished, merely lift
the piece of gauze and discard. Use
fresh piece each time. Now, this
does not eliminate the need for ster-
tlization, by any means. 1t merely
makes it easier to cleanse the brush
and keep it clean. 1t Is little nicely
which am sure you will like.

becoming Americas favorite flavor, for
last year it took II, 5000 pounds of

as If cinnamon buns and cinnamon
cakes and cinnamon desserts were

which cinnamon is an ideal flavor. It

We extend greetings to all read
ers of Fourth Street Church news,
Holy week was indeed a busy week
for us. The revival which was
conducted by Rev. Merriweathers
was a success. Good Friday serv-
ices were indeed inspiring. The
seven last words of Jesus were
beautifully eulogized by seven
speakers, from the various
Churches of God in Christ.
Easter morning, sunrise service
was a spirit-filled three-hour wOr-
ship. The sermon preached by the
Rev. Wilson at this service shall
never be forgotten by those who
heard him. A II noon communion
service was held. The church was
filled with enthusiastic worshippers
for this occasion. At 8 p. m. a
splendid program was rendered I'M
der the direction of Mrs. Anna
Mcconnell. The audience was high
ly entertained by a talented group
of adults and children.
The young peoples department,
under the direction of Mr.. W. NJ.
Jackson, Is rapidly increasing. On
May 8 a Mothers Day program
will be given by the young people.
Miss Birdie L. Bonnel is sponsor
ing this program and all mothers
are invited to be present at 2 p. m.

THE TWIN CITY CIVIC AND
BIBLE STUDY CLUB NOTES
Nv Miss EsteIynne Wagner

by MISS LAStcAg AtAtC " aEhGA
The Twin City Civic and Bible
Study Club met Wednesday, April
Is, at the home of the Misses Doty,
TIT Iglehart Ave.
The president opened the meet
ing and the usual procedure fol-
lowed.
Concerning the business, a re-
port was made by all the members
relative to the amount of money
obtained in their pockets. These
pockets were individual loops made
by a committee for each member,
to be used for the contributions
given them by the public for pa
tients at Ancker and also outside,
in the way of Easter cheer, such
as lilies, baskets, eggs, etc.
Plans were made for an enter
tainment to be given by the club
at some future date.
The Sick Committee reported
that Mrs. Hit of Ancker was not
feeling so well at present. We
hope that this condition will not
prevail long. Mr.. George Yancey,
also of Ancker, has a bad case of
the spring fever. Mrs. Polly FOs-
ter is now feeling somewhat i'm
proved.
Our motto, Not to be ministered
unto, but to minister unto others"
was our topic of discussion during
the Bible Study period. Our pres
ident impressed US with the fact
that we must not forget our motto
until holiday seasons, but keep it
in mind every day of the year.
The meeting was adjourned.
A call meeting was held Friday,
April Is, at BIT N. St. Adams, for
the purpose of preparing our Eas-
ter baskets and lilies. One hour
was given to entertaining the chill
dren who aided the club in secur-
ing funds. Those who helped were
Iva Dorsey, Carson Titus, Ventress
Jackson, Lorraine Harper and Lor-
retta Reed. There were IA young
sters present.
A delightful repast was prepared
by Mrs. F. Titus, and served by
the hostess, Miss Estelynne Wag-
ner.
The meeting was closed.
We publicly wish to thank all
those who helped US in obtaining
lilies and baskets for all the colored
patients in Ancker and several
others who were without friends
and cheer.
We also wish to thank Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Combs for the use of their
car and aid which facilitated the
distribution of the presents.
We are sure if you had seen the
smiles on the faces of the recipi-
ents of the gifts, that you would
understand the measure of salts
faction we get for carrying on our
motto, mot to be ministered unto,
but to minister unto others"
