Wilson Teachers
College Group to
Mark Founding

The Twenty of Wilson Teachers
College will hold its 7th annual
founders day banquet at the High
lands, Connecticut avenue and Cali
fornia street NV, Tuesday at Z
pm. The 1889 chapter Is making the
arrangements, with Miss Capitola
Broughton in charge.
The Twenty. a unique organization
in the social life of the college, was
founded in, 1892. Each chapter is
composed of 20 girls, chosen at the
end OF their junior year by the
graduating senior chapter. In this
way a different chapter functions
each year and only in the senior
class. BY waiting until they become
Juniors, it is possible to choose men,
bers because they have become out
standing during their three years at
the college. Each chapter, upon
graduation, becomes an alumnae
group. t
As the number of chapters grew,
coordination and integration of
their various activities was effected
through establishment of an execu-
tive council, with two delegates from
each chapter.
In addition to founders day ban
quet. annual affairs include the
Twenty breakfast" held December
81, with the members of the in
cumbent chapter as hostesses, and
the spring tea, when this same group
entertains all the girls of the Junior
class. Each chapter has other social
activities and its own business meet
ings and supports its own charitable
causes.
The Twenty has established the
MacLear Memorial Poetry Library in
the college library, devoted to modern
poetry and commemorating the late
DR. Martha MacLear, former psy-
chology professor of the college.

Mrs. Shenefeld
Addresses Political

Declaring the current war in Eu.

did, before our entry, Mrs. Hale T.
Shenef1eld Of the American Univer.
sity graduate school faculty, pre-.
dicted yesterday this would continue
to be the case.
I'VE shall be concerned, but not
involved in the war and in the just
and lasting peace which must fol-
low" she stated In an address be.
fore the Political Study Club meet
ing at the Washington Club.
Americans are more cautious about
propaganda now than they were,
Mrs. Shenefield explained, in part,
and continued:
I'VE are assured that our economic
controls insulate us against war
there was no such protection before.
We have foregone many of our legal
rights as matter of national policy
through the passage of the Neu-
trality Act, and consequently run no
risks of disasters similar to sinking
of The Lusitania. Our businessmen
understand that the profits of war
are illusory. much better than they
did before, and our people are much
better informed on foreign affairs"
Earlier Decades Reviewed.
Speaking on the topic, "The Psy-
chology of the Nineteen -Forties,"
Mrs. Shenefield predicted that our
economic problems, the favorable
position Of American culture, our
recoil from Communistic and Fascist
PHILOSOPHERS and our concern to re-
main aloof from the struggle in Eu-
rope will focus our thinking along
truly American lines, toward saving
democracy at home"
Reviewing earlier decades, the
speaker declared that two tendencies,
escape and reform, are fairly perma-
nent moods.
She also warned that the realistic
radical tendency" traditionally rep
resented in our youth probably
would be increased and intensified
should the country become reac-
tlonary and seek to suppress such
expression as subversive and dam
gerous.
I'm this connection" she added,
"the recent attitudes of John
Hamilton and John L. Lewis to
the American Youth Congress
were equally irresponsible, although
worlds apart"

A piece of pink granite was

Of Helen Hunt Jackson at Inspira-

aged by their husbands to partici-
pate in activities outside the home,

Naturally, the occupations of the
husbands in the two groups varied,
most of the rural women being mar

Rural Intellectual
Interests the Same.
An interesting point was the fact
that SO per cent of the rural hus-
bands and wives had similar intel
lectual interests, as against rs per
cent IN the A. A. U. w. group-this
in spite of the fact that only 36
per cent Of the rural husbands and
wives had attained similar educa-
tional level, as compared to 78 per
cent in the A. A. U. w. group.
In connection with the subject.

It was pointed OUT. however, that
this may merely mean that the time

as that Of the rural husband.
In the Power VS.. the Human
Hand section of the survey. the
farm women baked more bread,
canned more food. made more
clothes than their urban sisters of
college training-and also made
more use of the electric washing
machine.

OF the country women make their

of The city women. Cn wash day "a

Important Factors
For Happy Marriages.
Going back to the happy marriage
theme, this is the order in which
rural women listed important fac
tors, in addition to the two named
above: Religion of partners, ma
tionality of partners, similarity of
social interests. similarity of intel
lectual interests, age of partners,
education of partners, ideals Of
childhood in respect to material
wealth and culture, relations with

has literally retained In stone unfor-
gettable memories Of the tour she
took last summer with q group Of
friends.
More than 500 small rocks and
stones-some semi-precious, includ-
ing turquoise, jasper. quartz and bits
from gold and silver mines-are
carefully labelled with the names
Of the places where they were found.
Placing before her a large box
containing varied specimens from
her collection, Miss Cawood recalled
interesting features of her travels as
she took the stones one by one and
explained their origin and identity.
This is tezontte," she commenced,
"a stone found throughout Mexico,
which picked up on the Pan-Amer-
ican Highway at the place where
Gen. Cardenas officially opened the
highway few years ago."
Brings Small Stone
From Big Silver Mine.
Describing the beauty of the trip
over the highway to Mexico City,
Miss Cawood displayed another small
stone found at silver mine near
Pachuca, where, she stated, "15 per
cent of the worlds silver is mined"
A rough bit of stone, as carefully
preserved as her semi-precious ones,
revived for Miss Cawood memories
of Chapultepsc Castle, near Mexico
City, where she and her companions
visited the old palace once occupied
by the unfortunate Emperor Maxi
milan and his beautiful consort,
Carlotta. 1T came from a grotto
which Maximilian used as secret
entrance" she explained. "and was
picked up and presented to me by
three Mexican children who were
interested in my stone collecting.
"And this" she continued, "came
from the Plaza del Torres in
Mexico City, where bull fights were
held"
From the "Hiu of Stars" Miss
Cawood brought an odd specimen in

Many fantastic legends still told
in Mexico by its romance-loving peo-
pie were recalled by Miss Cawood as
she exhibited her collection.
This came from the little village
where the soul of Malinche, the In
dian sweetheart of Cortez, Is said to
wander under the jute trees" she
explained. They claim that Ma
