After the Storm

The storm has passed.
The wind has ceased its raging,
And the earth is silent.
I look out upon green and silver
world
Which is refreshed by rain.
The trees and birds and flowers,
AS well as I,
Look up
And thank the Giver of the shower.

is being given to the maintaining of
normal weight. Men and women as
well as children want to take off
extra pounds. Doctors warn that
obesity overworks the arteries. And
statistics show that in addition to
better general health, life expectancy
is longer for persons of normal
weight.
Drugs or pills should not be taken
unless prescribed by a qualified
physician. Nor should drastic diets
be, undertaken.
For weight reduction the individ-
ualemust eat fewer calories than he
uses so that the body fat will be
used to furnish some of his energy
needs. For successful reducing pro-
gram there should be an under
standing of the reasons for diet and
learning how to adjust our food
habits if the results are to be per-
manent.
IF the food intake equals the
energy output the weight will be
constant. But if the food intake is
greater than the energy. expended
there will be gain in weight.
Care should be observed that
there is the proper amount of pro-
tein, vitamins, minerals and the es-
sential nutriments. These are to be
had from meat, eggs, butter, milk,
whole wheat or enriched flour prod
ucts, fruits, vegetables It is there
fore possible to eat a normal diet
merely reducing the amount so that
the caloric intake will not exceed
the energy output.
Those who love the greasy, gooey-
chevy, sweet foods will find reduc-
ing well nigh impossible because
these are high in calories.

Woman's Day at Montana State College, 1850
By Po~d~4C o~~ty

wOMAN'S DAY at Montana
State college is one of the most i'm
pressive and traditional events of
the college woman's career. June A,
1850, the event began at the Student
Union building with the pageant
led by the all-woman band. APP
proximately 400 students partici-
pated
The pageant concluded at the
gymnasium and the professional be-
gan. Senior women marched in from
the right, met their junior and car
ried and Dean E. c. Harrison cut
the ivy, a ceremony which is known
as ''The Breaking of the Ties" After
the awards were presented and
Helen Francis Talcott Courier gave
her interesting account of her past
experiences in Greece, the recess
sional began and concluded at the
SUB, which ended Woman's day.
Founded by First Dean
The credit for founding Woman's
day goes to Una B. Gerrick, the
first dean of women who believed
in women having a place in the coll
lege world. She was a woman of
great dramatic ability and used
Woman's day to portray their ac-
complishments at Montana State
college.
The early Woman's day empha-
sized the physical education aspect.
However, as this event became more
part of college life, the emphasis
changed from sports to the all
around contributions which women
make to college life. The first Wom-
ans day was held May rs, 1928, with
more than 200 girls participating
The girls marched across the
campus from Main hall to the Agri-
cultural building. Here the junior
and senior lines separated, the girls
crossed over, and Dean Herrick
broke the streamers between the
marchers. This completed the cere-
money known as the Breaking o.
the Ties" which has since become &
cherished part of the pageant. The
procession then continued on to tht
gymnasium.

Take six pork chops. cut rather
thin, season them we'll with salt

out and drain on absorbent paper.
With these chops my friends

'Conferees 10 Make
Final Effort Today on
Housing Compromise
BY the Assoeioted Press

Battling Senate House conferees
meet today in final effort to work
out compromise housing bill be-
fore the House begins it's Easter
vacation Thursday.
The fight centers around a pro-
posed $3.50 million authorization
for the Federal National Mortgage
Association. 1t may be decided by
congressional parliamentarians in
advance Of the meeting.
The parliamentary question is
whether the conferees have the
right to earmark s25 million of the
money for construction loans for
prefabricated housing.
Hope for Agreement.
Some Senators, including Sena-
tor Douglas. Democrat, Of Illinois
say that unless the fund is ear
marked. they will oppose any
agreement. A stalemate would
mean that Congress would not
have an opportunity to act on any
housing legislation until after the
House returns April 18.
Senator Maybank, Democrat. of
South Carolina. told reporters last
night after a long closed session
that House members felt they had
a good chance to get House action
tomorrow if compromise could be
agreed to by noon today.
Yesterdays meeting brought
agreement on several of the major
points in dispute between the two
Houses.
Authorization for FHA.
The conferees agreed to a s2.25O
billion authorization for the
Federal Housing Administration to
carry on it's mortgage insurance
programs. The Senate had voted
$1750 billion and the House $2.750
billion.
Agreement also was reached on
$500 million for FHA loans for
apartment dwellings.
The conferees also compromised
on a $3.50 million FILA mortgage
insurance program for five years
for low-cost houses for sale in So
called distant suburban areas.
House members agreed to the
$3.50 million for direct loans to

Eugene Ormandy and the Phil.
adelphia Orchestra found warn
welcome on their visit last night
to Constitution Hall for the open.
ing concert of the season. The
usual capacity audience was in at
tendance and from the reception
given the conductor on his en-
trance, it was like a reunion o1
friends after a long absence
Perhaps Mr.. Ormandy realized
that this first program was some
thing in the nature of a get
together again, for his selection
of numbers was all from the
familiar literature. It seemed de-
signed for the express purpose
that everyone should enjoy him
self.
The choice of Beethoven's
'Leonore Overture No. g." his
symphony No. ~ and excerpts
from Wagner's Tristan und
Isolde" could be considered hack
neyed, for these works have been
heard time and again in Consti-
tuition Hall. That opinion would
not take into account the fact
that Mr.. Ormandy had something
new with which to embellish
them. 1t is his own idea of how
they should be played and what
special effects can be created
through the orchestral medium.
He has been developing this ap-
proach for some seasons now and
a study of his methods and their
result is enlightening.
There is, for example, the feel
ing for clarity of form in Bee
thoven and the numerous degrees
of expressive tone to be COM
manded toward emphasizing what
is to be expressed. Hand in hand
with this goes range of dynam-
les that progresses naturally and
unhurriedly to a complete estab-
lishment of mood. In the Over
ture, some of the excitement may
have been tempered down, but
the spacious line and the strong
color contrasts created a sense of
the powerful forces at work. The
extraordinarily beautiful quality
of the orchestra's pianissimo,
translucent and haunting, was
employed with the utmost skill
and made all the more striking
the intensity of the dramatic
moments.
The Symphony No. 7" is an
other work in which conductor
and orchestra men excel. It was
of special interest last night to
note the playing of the Allegretto.
The last time Mr.. Ormandy con-
Quoted it was at last years open
ing program. when it was per-
formed in memory of Hans Kin
dler. It's funeral march character
was stressed then in a mellow,
warm manner that was most i'm
pressive. Last night the conductor
avoided any sombre intent, lifting
outward its philosophical idea and
managing to convey more of a
matter-of-fact thought than a
sorrowing one. At the same time,
the scheme Of his Interpretation
was similar and the lovely fash
