These are the wives of the three most. important military men of the hour, Chang Tso-lin, Chiang K4i-shet, -nd Feng Yu-hsiang. These three women are about as different as it is posgible 'for theam, to be. Mrs. Chang is the typical old- fashioned wife, who remains cleist- ered in her home and who takes no. outward part in he) husband's ac- tivities. She is never seen at state: banquets, she holds no atdiences, and receives no foreign visitors. She is, however, the head of a model lruse-; hold, and is the symbol of her hus- band's conservatism., Mrs. Chiang-shell, on the contrary, is extremely modern. She was edu- cated in America and was gradiated from-L Welles ley only a few yeas ag. She dresses in the European fashion, and speaks English well, and she is equally fluent in classical Chinese. She expects her husband to win be- cause she wishes him to. Mrs. Feng Yu-hsiang is also mod- ern, but in a different way. She is active in the affairs of the worldain- stead of being confined in" a harem. Her support of her husband is differ- ent than that of Mrs. Chiang ka- she's, however, for she believes in her husband's aims and works by his side to bring them to fruition.

Other noon-day events of Women's day will include a luncheon of the American Business club at the De- troit-Leland hotel, at which ;Casey Jones will speak on "Experimental Flying."

Buck, the daughter of a Nor- olk doctor. It is unique chiefly because of its length. Although it is not yet finish- ed, it already comprised eight vol- umes, containing 3,000 printed pages. The poem is known as the Wayland-' Dietrich saga. In blank verse it de- tails the legend of Northern Europe. When finished it will be 6,000 pages long, four times the length of Hom- er's Illiadi and Odyssey combined. Miss*Buck has been woirking on the saga for 20 years. It was started after she found a German translation of the - old Icelandic and Swedish versions of Thidrek:'s . and Didrick's sagas, and was imnrediately siezed with a desire to translate them into English, so that English readers might share the pleasure she derived them. In 1920 Miss Buck handed to the proprietor of a. London bookshop, a canto of the poem, IHIe read it and encouraged her to go on. For four years. She handed the shop keeper canto after canto, until in 1924 she had enough for a book. Thereafter numbers appeared frequently, one each month. The great libraries be- gan to subscribe for it. Miss Buck has traveled through- out Eurone in search of mraterial for the epic, and likewise to south Rus- sia, India, and Palestine. Dr. Rosalie S'. Morton, who has made a test in the stores of New York says that the health of men is equal 'to that of the women and they also have headaches and indigestion. Thyra Samte Winslaw, novelist, says that the flapper originated with the oldish women who tried to coun- terfeit youngishness. i i S if Y j Model assembly of the League of Nations will be held at Michigan State in May as an experiment in political science. It is hoped to secure the chamber of the house of repre'senta- tives in the State capitol for the ses- sions. Committees are being appoint-f ed and all plans are being laid for a, well-organized educational project.. Each country will have one repre- sentative who if possible will be a' native of that country. If he wishes,I he may address the session in his own tongue, since interpreters will be present. The topics discussed will be those before the league at this time. Helen Smith, 8-year-old-evangelist, won nine converts at a Sunday re- vival in Mt.

Although a great deal of furniture has been delivered at the field house, the decorating has not yet been done.

Everycne who is interested in this newest fea-i ture of the women's athletic plant is invited to inspect the field house. ers in the field house should get their lockers before the hour of practice. The squad managers are Helen Beaumont '28, Anne Zauer '29, Mar- geret Bush '30 ,and Elizabeth Wood '31. There are two diamonds avail- able this spring, which makes it pos- sible for all games to be played at the same hour. They will probably be scheduled at 4:15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Spectators will not only be welcome,. but are urgently invited to come to see the games.
