~ SSIE used to promise the
IL Americans in Damascus she
would come and see them
after the war. They didn't
believe her. It seemed, when they
left, they were saying good-by for
the last time to one OF the worlds
truly great women.
But she kept her word. A person
who has been demonstrating her
independence for II years is not
likely to be fenced in today by little
things like time and space. Essie
showed up in New York last month,
having packed herself on a refugee
ship in Beirut.
She has made hobby OF keeping
her word and, in her day, it has
taken her far afleld. In 1928, when
she was one Of Americas more
prominent scientific researchers, she
spent sabbatical in Turkey teach
ing science at the Constantinople
Women's College. One night she
talked to q Syrian student.
IT we were antiquities" said the
girl, you Americans would spend
millions to dig US out Of the ground.
But we are living human souls, and
therefore nobody cares"
Essie promised, then and there,
that the Americans would open a
school in Damascus. She tried to
talk up the idea when she got back
to the United States. Everybody ap-
proved but nobody volunteered to
take on the job. There never was
any question in her mind what she
had to do then. She took with her
the blessings Of President Coolidge
and his State Departments little
money of her own and the contribu-
tions of some friends. She went to
Damascus and started school her
self.

Part Time Job to Be Harder
For Student to Find This Fall

fare better than their high school
counterparts in the job hunt be-
cause EMPLOYERS believe they are
more reliable, according to the job
experts. Students with previous job
experience also will have it easier
than those who are looking for work
for the first time.
Many students who worked last
year kept their jobs through the
summer and will continue to held
them in the fall. That means less
turnover in employment and is one
important reason why beginners will
discover work harder to find.
Largest Employers Supplied.
} Two of the largest employers OF
students are drug stores and mes
senger centers. Both report they
have more applicants than they have
jobs. The large drug store chains
converted many Of their after school
workers to full time employees when
vacation started and will convert
as many as they can back to part
time status when schools start
again.
Hotels. too, report they have nc
job vacancies at present. In fact
the service trades, job mecca OF
school students in war years, are
pretty well supplied with full time
workers. That includes department
stores, restaurants and moving pic
lures houses.
Job placement bureaus in the var
iosu schools are functioning already
realizing they face tough winter
At American University, the new
placement service reports the ma
jority of students registering are
willing to take unskilled work-a
trend that undoubtedly will be dup
licated elsewhere.
Among jobs students are qualified
to fill are various clerical positions
motion picture protector operators
teletypewriter, pipe filters apprentice
title examiner, recreation director
and public relations.

That part-time job many a student
wants to help pay his school and
living expenses is going to be harder
to find this fall.
Experts In job placement say the
part-time job situation is pretty
desperate, but they confess that
youth, with its customary ingenuity
probably will turn up with paid en-
ployment in many business that
thought it had no need for part
time worker.
The job scarcity is attributed by
Fred Hetzel. District director of the
United States Employment Service
to the fact that businesses here
generally speaking, are not expand
ing and neither is Government.
This is contrary to the practice OF
the war years and those immediate
ly following wars end, when there
was a great demand for workers
both full and part time.
Students then could sit back and
wait. for jobs to come to them. But
it is different now. Considerable
shoe leather and some ingenuity are
going to be expended by those who
get work.
Proper Starting Place.
The first place most students will
start to look for jobs-and it is the
proper place to begin-is at the jot
placement bureau of the college OF
university they attend.
Employers interested in hiring
students register available jobs with
the bureaus and the student who
fails to let the bureau know he /:
ready and willing to work is over.
looking bet.
Another good, though somewhat
obvious, way to find a job is to have
dad get it. It's amazing, job coun-
sellors say, the number of friends
the average middle-aged father has
who are willing to help his offspring
get an education.

Art

Artists
By Florence S. Berrymou

An idea of Government architects
achievements, not only in the
United States but in many foreign
countries, can be cleaned from the
10th annual exhibition of the As
ISOLATION of Federal Architects, just
opened in the foyer of the Natural
History building, U. S. National Mu-
scum. The public knows, in vague
way, that the Government Is build
ing in far-fung places. In this
show, one can see specific structures
carefully rendered in watercolor,
pencil and crayon and other media.
Furthermore, visitors will have no
difficulty understanding this work,
which is strongly conservative. Gov
ernment architects who spend their
working days at meticulous draw
ings. reducing enormous buildings to
18th of an inch per foot, or what
ever. seem to carry over into their
leisure-time art output, their habits
of precision and clean-cut work.
manship. The show includes both
official and personal work. Oil and
watercolor paintings and other types
of work done on vacations and week
ends are predominantly naturalistic
and competent. However, some of
the exhibitors groups needed more
editing. In several instances, those
who are obviously skilled in tran
scribing architectural subjects, land
scapes and harbor scenes, have also
included portraits and figure studies
which are painfully wooden and life
less.
State Department Above
The Department of State, Foreign
Buildings Operations, occupies one
alcove with renderings of embassy,
legation and consulate buildings
which seemed to me well adapted
to the respective locations and their
historic backgrounds. Those in Can
berra, Australia, designed by Paul
Franz Jaquet and Leland w. King,
jr, are Georgian in feeling. Quite

many visits. Earlier this year, the
National Gallery of Art published

descriptions with more than 20

Not long ago I was in the main
gallery devoted to these porcelains,

Estimating EOard Feet

You can estimate the number of
board feet in a 16-foot log quite
closely by subtracting four from the
diameter at the top end of the log
and squaring the number obtained.
For instance, take a 16 foot log
measuring "a inches. After subtract
ing 4, the remainder 40 is squared
and the answer is 400, which is the
number of board feet in the log.
Other lengths are judged proper
tionately. An 8 foot log would con-
tain half as many board feet as a
16 foot log, and a IL foot would
contain three-fourths as many.

Crooked Stitching

Rip out and restitch any broken,

Seams: Narrow seams may need
to be stitched deeper to make them

too badly, a simple overcasting of the
raw edges may make a seam Sc
cure. If it trays readily. however,
it's better to run a row of stitching
