D. Henderson an- nounces thi the plans for the new building are completed, while the specifications are almost ready to go out to the contractors, assuring that the construction of the building should: start within six weeks. While in Chicago, Mrs. Henderson received gifts from Dr. Karl K. Koess- ter, husband of the late Jessie Horton Koessler, author of the map of Ann Arbor, which has been sold for the benefit of the Women's league, and from Mrs. Koessler's brother, George Horton, which insure the library of ithe new building being set aside as a memorial. The library will be 'as a memorial to Mrs. Koessler and will be known as the Jesse Horton Koessler lbrary. This gift from the family of Mrs. Koessler is augmented by a gift fromethe Chicago group of Michigan womrre n. Mrs. Koessler graduated from the University of Michigan in 1901. Up- onl her graduation she enteredl the RusliMeiral college in Chicago and graduated from there in 1904. From1 Chicago, Mrs. Koessler went to Parisi where she attended the Pasteur Insti- tute, doing graduate research work. While in Paris she met her husband, and for many years she was associated with him in scientific research in medicine.. Recently g i v i n g up scientific work she became interested in art, es- pecially in murals, and took up this study under several notable artists. Several of her studies have been ac- cepted in Paris. Mrs. Koessler's death came in January, 1927. Mrs. Koessler was the first Michigan woman to make a gift of any size into the Women's league building fund. De- tails for the memorial are not yet worked out but everything, according to Mrs. Henderson, will be done to bring out the dignity and loyalty ex- presseml in the life of Mrs. Koessler. WOMEN DECLARED ABLE JOURNALISTS 3 F r 1 1 1 1 iR L C t " Betsy Barbour Dormitory is very fortunate in having for its new direc- tor Miss Mary L. Lytle, a graduate of Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. Dur~ng the past two years Miss Lytle has made several unusual trips, among them a long Mediterranean cruise, a trip last winter to Cuba and the Caro- linas, and this summer a round trip on the great lakes on a large ore freight- er. Miss Lytle says she found the Mediterranean cruise the most enjoy- able, as it was the most extensive and varied. Miss Lytle sailed from New York, February 9, 1926, on the Empress of. France of the Canadian Pacific Steam- ship Company. The first landing was at Madeira, a city in which she noted that, although situated on a semi- tropical island, there were no vehicles with .wheels. Instead, sledges with greased runners are pulled by oxen over the soapstone pebbles with which the streets are paved. A snowless to- boggan slide down a 3,300 foot moun- tain provides one of Madeira's most novel and thrilling attractions. The party then visited Portugal, Spain, and Algiers, which Miss Lytle' remembers as the first really Oriental city. The trip continued to Syra('use, Athiens, Constant tinojde a :nI I the Black Sea, lialetine and y ii , i iad two weeks in Egypt.

Preparations are being made by the club for the third annual horse show which will be held next spring.' A number of social activities are also planned. All women interested in joining Pegasus should see the notice posted in the gymnasium for further informa- tion. WOMEN MAY TAKE CORRECTIVE GYM in order to encourage the practice of good posture and to cure foot de- fects, the department of Physical Edu- cation is this year stressing its plan of offering to women, classes in indi- vidual and corrective gymnastics. The classes, which are held on Wed- nesday at the hours, 11, 2, and 4 o'lock, are composed mostly of fresh- man and sophomore women, although they are open to upperelass and grad- uate women as well. In fact Miss Rawlings, who has charge of the class- es says, "We want all the girls to feel that we are here to help them if they want to be helped." One hour a week is being devoted to this work by those girls who have so far enrolled in the classes. Enroll- ment is entirely voluntary on the part of the girls and does not count toward fulfilling the hours of gymnasium work required of freshman and sopho- more women. Of special interest in regard to this work of the physical education depart- ment,,is the installation in the gymna- sium of a 'silhouettegraph' which, by' pictures made from time to time, shows the results of the department's efforts. MICHIGAN WOMEN LAG IN POLITICS Michigan women are lagging behind in the interstate competition for po- litical prominence, statistics show, Ruth McCormick of Illinois, widow of the late Congressman Medill McCor- mick, announced her candidacy for Illinois congressman-at-large. If Mrs. McCormick should succeed in winning a seat in the house of Repre- sentatives she will be the second Illi- nois woman to appear in congress. In women's political history, eight have appeared in congress. The first con- gresswoman was Miss Jeannette Ran- 'kin of Montana, who was elected in 1916. Since that time the following have held seats In the house or the Senate: Mrs. Huck of Illinois, Mrs. Nolan of California, Miss Robertson of Oklahoma, Mrs. Norton of New Jersey, Mrs. Rogers of Massachusetts and Mrs. Felton of Georgia. It is time that the women of Michigan stepped forth in the political world. said because the women are to be the future mothers and teachers of all mankind." Miss Tagore made this statement in one of a series of lectures at the World Federation of Educa- tion convention, held this year in Toronto, Canada. She is primarily interested in the educational better-. ment of the women of India. She is very prominent among the people in India, being president of the Wo- men's Iklucational Societies of India, and the head of a small primary school in Calcutta. "I came to this country to study educational methods,'! s'tats Miss Tagore, "and to take back something to my own people." She thinks that American people have the wrong idea of Hindu women. They are not "down trodden," nor the "playthings of, men" as is the common opinion. In olden times women of India talked with men concerning philosophy, and music, and political situations, and they are just as capable now as they were then. "What India does lack in," she says, "is a real educational system for women: only one per cent of the TR-Y NEW CURE FOR MENTALLY|DERANGEU Interesting experiments directed to- ward curing the mentally deranged are being tried out at the Kankakee state hospital for the insane. The psychiatry department has instituted a beauty parlor at the hospital. Pa- tients who formerly fought any at- tempt at cleaning up are now calmly submitting to, baths, shampoos, hair cuts, facial massages, and manicures Some of the patients have fought their way back to mental healti through learning the art of beauty culture. Since the beauty parlor wa opened, twenty-two girls have left th( institution, able to adapt themselve i to conditions in the outside world These results forcibly refute the the- ory that loss of personal pride is the inevitable accompaniment of a failing mind.

This is the opinion of Mrs. J. C. Mack of Newton, Kansas. Mlrs. Mack is the daughter of Noble Prentiss, former editor of the Kansas City Star. She is recognized as a very< capable journalist by others in the f(id. In speaking of women's qualifica- tions for this profession, Mrs. Mack saild that they were better spellers than men, and more careful in their grammar. Women look out for de- tails, and observe the four 'W's'-why,i where, what, and who. Women also have good memories, and can give a( hunman interest touch to a story, that( a man could not. Mrs. Mack further said that the flap- per type was not fitted for journal-j ism, nor for any other profession.t Because dignity is needed in a profes- sion, and because a flapper lacks dig- nity, she does not make a good news-i paper woman. Mrs. Mack pointed out that she was making these statements from thes angle of "Womenin Journalism" and not from any wish to discredit the men in the profession.
