This was an increase over the number in the class -last year at the same time. Membership in the Wo- men's Rifle Club is expected to reach a total of 35, counting last yeas members and the beginning class. It is probable that more women will en- roll In the rifle class this semester and next. Meetings of the beginners' class in shooting will be held from four to six on Monday and Tuesday after- noons in Room 330, West Engineering Building. Members of the class may begin immediately to qualify for their medals and for the team. A score of, 95 is required in order to shoot on the rifleteam. All women interested in learning to shoot are urged to enter the be- ginning class. Good marksmanship is not a prequisite to membership in the class. On the other hand, women who have had po experience in shooting are given an opportunity to practice, and, if they show evidence of ability, to make the team. PUBLIC PRIMPING OBJECTE TO BY MEN OF GERMANY Men of Berlin havye decided that something must be done about the shocking habit of primping in pub- lic places. According to an editorial in the "Ndew York Times, the German men protest in particular against the prac.- tice of combing har. and powdering faces while seated at table in pub- lic restaurants. A committee, armed, with a petition signed by many nota- bile persons, has asked tre faurantJ managers to restrain their women pa- trons from using combs,, powder puffs, and lipsticks in the dining rooms. But how to bring about this re- form? "Ladiesbarerequested not to use their vanity cases at table," might be printed on the menu. However, if some brazen creatures ignored this request, what waiter would have the courage to ask her to put away her powder puff? The responsibility for thesuccess of the proposed reform should be put' upon the escorts of the ladies, the writer suggests.= Let the men them- selves sternly forbid the use -of toilet accessories at meal time. If any of these gentlemen are timid about us- ing the direct command, diplomacy is advised. Let the crafty male say, Director Of Physical Education Gives Theories Concerning Swimming Strokes f "There is a great deal of controver- sy," Miss Hall of the department of physical education said yesterday, "over which strokes should be used by swimmers, which should be taught first, and the exact form of the var- ious strokes.. "Some swimming coaches say that the crawl should be used for speed and the breast stroke for distance. Others use nothing but the crawl. Some favor the trudgeon, which com- bines a scissors kick with a crawl arm stroke, or the trudgeon-crawl, in which the kick is a combination of the flutter and scissors kicks. These trudgeon strokes used to be consid- ered best for distance, but swimmers of both the English and Catilina chan- nels have used the regular crawl, thus proving its practibility for distance. "Here at Michigan, in the women's classes at least, the elementary crawl is taught first instead of the breast stroke, although the latter is given the preference in many places. The breast stroke is complicated and the co-ordination is very difficult. It is also extremely hard to learn the flutter kick after learning the frog kick, whereas the flutter does not af- fect the frog kick. The side stroke is also taught, al- though there is no particular advan- tage to it except that the face is out of water and breathing is thus facili- tated. Helre I might mention ome- thing that every swimmer should re- member, and that is to always breathe through thel mouth, for there is less danger of strangling than when breathing through the nose. "There is not much controversy over diving forms, for they are fairly well determined. In learning to dive there are four preliminary dives to be done :st. These are the sitting dive, the kneeling dive, the Apache dive, which is done from one knee, and a standing dive in which the diver bends low overthe water and falls in. After these have been learn- ed, the pupil is ready for the regular standing dive and the more difficult ones that follow. "In our classes," said Miss Hall; "we teach the women stunts, too, be- cause most of. them enjoy playing around in the water as well as they do diving and swimming. One of the stunts is to swim like a fish, using the hands as fins. Another is the egg dive in which you double up and grab your knees with your arms; you re- tain this position until you come to the surface. "I might give some encouragement to beginning swimmers by telling them that almost everyone can float and that more women than men can do so. The turtle float is a test to do- termine if one can learn to float. The swimmer clasps his arms about his knees and turns over on his face. If his back appears above the sur- face, he will be able to learn how to float. It is interesting to know that a great many people can float, but not on their backs for their feet go .down, and they are in an upright po- sition." VAIETY OFr ORE OFFE[RED RY1WA; Classes which are being offerde by "he Y. NW. C. A. were begun Monday, Oct. 10, and will continue for 10 weeks, with the exception of the swimming , class, which will last for six months. On Monday, every week from 7 un- til 8, a class in Bible will be offered in which the leading characters of the Bible will be discussed. Conversational French, given by the direct method will be presented on Tuesday from 7 to 8, while-,wimming will be taught both on Tuesday and Friday from 8 until 9. A course in "What to read," will be given on Wednesday from 7 to 8, for those who have little time to read and wish to spend it on worthwhile boolks, and on Thursday, from 7 to 9, a dressmaking course will be given, women to make at least two dresses. Instruction and suggestions .for malting inexpensive Christmas gifts will be given free of charge ' Fri- day at 7:30, while a simhal G:urse will be held with the addition of les- sons in hooked rug making, batik work, and painting on glass with a charge being made for the lastrue- tion. Household management is also be- ing offered at 7:30 on Friday, the main points of interest being serving, planning of meals, salads, and bread I making. "Every University woman should be interested in the Household Manage- ment course," says Mrs. E. L. Moses' of the Y. W., "since so many women are married as soon as they are grad- uated, and haven't the slightest foun- dation for domestic life." Although many of the courses like the French and swimming classes are provided by the University for' wo- men, according to Mrs. Moses, the Y. W. is the only source where Do- inestic Science may be had, therefore making it doubly desirable. NOTICES I f ~ Says This is Cora speaking- Well, ev- erybody, have you missed me?

Ah-ha* Now that it hasn't rained for a couple of days I may be able to' to rave a little. Honestly, rain just completely knocks me over-my brain is just like a sponge that's-Well yout know what I mean. I just can't think at all.

Life is hard. The latest of my activities has been attending class elections-I went to the elections of the Junior class of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts and now I know where the Arts comes in. It's the art of getting elected-and it certainly is an art. I earned a lot at that brawl- I dis- covered that it's the Junior class that fills the cheering section. In fact I thought at first I had burst into a practice session. The girl next to mn kept nudging me and saying "Who are those good-looking men, taking charge-of this affair?" I finally hushed her up by telling her I didn't know-and how should I? I did know but I wasn't going to tell her because I sat way down in front and I wasn't going to let the lbrutes hear me talking about them- hera nc t m W Nithj th'e conceit the.mcmi ar"ounid here Class Elections Put The "Art" In The College Of Literature And Science ADDRESSES LOS ANGELES WOIMAN SOCIETY have, I have to be cautious-for all I know they might sue me for libel or breach of promise.

New York City has started training girl atheltics from the Metropolitan District for the new events of track and field games which will be a new feature of the Olympic contests this year. King George has decreed that no maid servants in Buckingham' palace may have bobbed hair. They will have to let their tresses grow, or lose their jobs in the royal household. At the local chapter meeting of Chi Delta Phi last Wednesday night, Miss Margaret Reed of Los Angeles, Cali- fornia, talked on some of the unique practices of the Alpha Beta Chapter at the University of California. "The interests of this branch of the society are dramatic, as well as literary," Miss Reed said. Every year, just before the Christ- mas holidays, a Miracle Play is given, on which a great deal of time and effort is spent, the alm,being to make it as nearly professional as possible. The members of the chapter are cho- sen largely for scholarship, with par- ticular emphasis laid on ability shown in rhetoric. A faculty member is chosen each year, who attends the meetings. These meetings take the form of teas, given at' the homes of the different members. Once a month a page of the local school paper is devoted to the liter- ature pursuits of the club. A scrap- book is made once a year which has in it the work of all theyreally gifted students on the campus. The Alpha Beta chapter, itself is made up of only Seniors and Juniors. In addition to, Miss Reed's speech, some chapter business was accom- plished. It was decided that it would continue its policy of admitting all but first-semester Freshmen. A committee was made up for the reading of try- out manuscripts. WOMAN CORPORA TION HEAD THINKS DEMANDS AREGREATER ON WOMEN Miss Bernadette Perrizo, a junior at Marquette University has been Mothers and children will sit side made editor of the school paper. She by side in the National Kindergarten is the first woman since 1919 to hold and Elementary College near North- the l osition. western University. "To be counted as silver a woman must'be gold, while a man needs only to be pewter," says Mrs. Alice Cur- tice Moyer-Wing in her article on women as heads of corporations. Mrs. Moyer-Wing is in a position to write upon such things. She wasi appointed State. Industrial Commis- sioner of Missouri in 1921. Since that time she has been constantly critic cized for the fact that she is not. a mechanical eXpert and cannot there- fore, be qualified for the position which she holds. At first these accusations bothered Mrs. Moyer-Wing to such a great ex- tent that she started an investigation as to the qualifications of the men who had held the position before her. She found only one instance where a department head had been a machin- ist and "nothing happened under his administration to make it outstand- ing." Under Mrs. Moyer-Wing's manage- ment, -he department acts uponanon- ymous complaints. This is something her male predecessors would not do. She says that many of these people when his companion fumbles for her pocket comb, "Put it away, please. You look perfect just as you are." do not realize the confidence with which such reportsare guarded, they even fear that such a statement, it signed would mean a lost job. Con- sequently, the complaints are oflen from people who have studied the situation from the workman's point of view and are for this reason quite valuable. This attitude as contrasted with that of her predecessors reminds one of Ibsen's contention that contrary to popular belief, man is the romantic creature and woman the practical. Princess Victoria, second sister of the former German Kaiser, has an- nodnced her engagement to a Russian student at the University of Bonn. The princess is sixty-one years old, and her fiance is twenty-seven. Herman W.
