Kerchief ON Display at
Harvard as True Crimson

CAMBRIDGE.-The official Har-
ward crimson kerchief, adopted in
1910 as the standard of the college
color and since kept on deposit in
university archives, is on public ex-
hibit at the Widener library.
The silk kerchief first was worn
by a member of Harvard's 1858
crew. Because of the distinguishing
'arterial blood shade, similarly
dyed kerchiefs were worn in en-
suing Naces. In 1910 a duplicate of
the 1858 kerchief was made and
adopted to 'standardize the Grim
SON."
Also on display is the football uni
form worn in the seasons of 1875,
1876 and 1877 by w. P. Lombard,
class Of 1878. 1t consists of a WOOL
en- skull cap, flannel trousers and
knitted jersey sweater.

The European war continues at
snail pace. Warsaw, capital of
Poland, fell at last into the hands
of the Nazi hordes. With this OBJ
jective achieved, Hitler has moved
more than a million soldiers to the
Western Front to reinforce the
already strong and almost impene-
trable S il e G n i d Line. French
troops continue to move forward
slowly toward this strong German
line of fortresses. This forward
movement is accompanied by air
skirmishes in which both sides
claim to be victors. Heavy artil-
lery fire is heard daily.

Debate on the proposed repeal
Of the Arms Embargo in the
United States began in Congress
on Wednesday OF this week. The
debate is expected to be long and
heated, but Washington cores
pondents predict that the Cash and
Carry Plan advocated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be enacted
INTO law at an early date. Al
Smith, an outspoken critic Of the
.seW Deal, has joined the forces
OF Roosevelt in asking for the
repeal of the Arms Embargo.
Such national figures as Senators
Borah, Nye, Lafollette, Johnson
and Clark oppose such a repeal
md are girded for a fght-to-the-
finish. Regardless of the final out
come, both opposing factions of
the proposed legislation have but
one thought in mind-the seeking
of means to make the world safe
for America.

mer half holiday arrangement which for years has been the means of giving clerks Tuesday afternoons to their own leisure. Sponsors of the campaign prefer Saturday after moons and have appealed to the bus mess men to cooperate in general movement to adopt the plan.
 In New Haven, particularly, and in many other cities of the state there is a general suspension of bus mess on Saturday afternoons. En- ployes of mercantile establishments have found the plan the most pop ular arrangement in as much as a Saturday half-holiday permits them to plan more definite weekend visits.
 It is understood that several of the city's largest stores are in favor of granting the requests of their clerks and they will support the movement when other merchants are persuaded to voice their senti- ments on the plan.
 For number of years the clerks half-holiday plan in Waterbury has been greatly enjoyed and scores of employe shave been permitted to en- joy an afternoon at their favorite recreation or visit to nearby sum- mer resorts. However, from time to time a change has been advocated The feeling has developed consider ably of late for the Saturday half holiday.
 Definite action on the proposal will be taken next Tuesday it was learned today. In the meanwhile hundreds of clerks will endeavor to have the public support their cam paign.
