British Writer,
Freya Stark,
To Speak Here
"A Journey from "Yemen in 1940~
will be the subject of the lecture
which Miss Freya Stark, British ex-
plorer and writer will deliver at
7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Rack-
ham Amphitheatre under the aus-
pices of the Institute of Fine Arts.
Since 1939, Miss Stark through.
her work with the British Foreign
office has succeeded in helping hold
the Arab world to the Allied cause.
For the thirteen years before the
outbreak of the war she had traveled
in. Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Hadhra-
mflaut, Trans-Jordan, and Palestine.
She explored where no other Europ-
ean woman had ever gone, photo-
graphed people who had never seen
a camera and learned to speak Arab-
ic like. an Arab.
Both through her written word
and through her photography she
has shared her discoveries about
these little explored sections of the
Near and Middle East.
During her mission in Arabia for
the British government she worked
quietly behind the scenes of action,
battling a barrage of Axis propagan-
da.
One of the outstanding features of
her war service has been the influ-
ence she has exerted through the
welcome that is extended to her by
the harems.

Museum, Libraries Gathering
Printed Matter of Present War
With an eye toward a future when
the printed trivia of this war will
become an invaluable historical col-
lection, the William Clements Li-
brary, the Library and the Historical
Museum have already begun to
gather this material.
About 3,000 handbills are being
mailed out to Michigan alumni in
the armed forces, especially those
overseas, pointing out the future im-
portance of their diaries,. letters,
newspapers or propaganda leaflets
Future Use of Glass
Discussed in Lecture
The use of glass in future design-
ing and building was discussed by
O. F. Wenzler and H. Creston Doner,
representatives of the Libbey-Ow-
ens-Ford Glass Company, in a lec-
ture Friday at the architecture
school auditorium.
The most outstanding discovery in
the use of glass is that of conduction
of electricity, although this discovery
is still in experimental stages.
Mr. Doner discussed and showed
slides of the Home of Tomorrow and
the new "Soldr" Houses. The lec-
tures were given under the auspices
of the Student Branch of the A.I.A.
dropped from airplanes. They tare
urged to send this material now to
Howard H. Peckham, care of the
Michigan Historical Collections,
Rackham Building. Every item sent
in will be appreciated, and the send-
er will- be given credit for his aid.
These documents will someday
rank with newspapers printed at
Vicksburg as the Union troops en-
tered the city, July 4, 1863, or the
magazine printed aboard the flag-
ship of Admiral Dewey's squadron at
Manila. By acting now, the Univer-
sity can obtain a priceless collection
of the landmarks of this war, and
can preserve here an authentic rec-
ord of one of the most important
periods in all history.

Children's Play
To Be Given
This Week-end
As their first presentation of the
year The Children's Theater of the
speech department will give two
matinee performances of "Mr. Dool-
ey, Jr." at 2:30 p.m., Friday and Sat-
urday, in the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre.
"Mr. Dooley, Jr." is a children's
comedy written by Jane Lewin and
Rose Franken. The entire action of
the play centers around Tommy and
Janie and their love for Mr. Dooley,
Jr., a dog whose winning ways are
their complete undoing.
The children decide that they will
buy Mr. Dooley, come financial dif-
ficulties or parental objections, and
then the action starts. Unique ideas
for raising money then become the
sole occupation of the children.
Things became more and more
confusing until Gus, friendly police-
man, takes a hand and straightens
things out for all concerned.
Tickets for the play will be placed
on sale in all schools this week and
reserved seats may be obtained at
the Lydia Mendelssohn boxoffice,
Jan. 27-29.
Feri Roth, Founder of String Quartet,
Compliments Ann Arbor Audiences
"There are certain times when one
loves a particular composer; at one
time I may prefer Haydn, or in ano-
ther mood I may love Beethoven.
Now in this mood, my favorite com-
poser is Brahms," Feri Roth, founder
of the well-known Roth String Quar-
tet, commented in an interview yes-

Around the world our men are nghting.
And the longer the war lasts, the more of them will
be dying! No, it isn't pleasant to face that
grim reali ty: but neither is it pleasant for them
to face the grim realities of combat. Don't
think in terms of so-many-million fighters.
T hink of the one you love-your neighbor's son-
the boy -you've watched from babyhood, and there
isn't anything in the world you wouldn't do
to bring him home alive. and well! So do the one
thing you can! Do your share of War Bond
Buying during the Fourth War Loan. And remember
that every bond yo do buy helps shorten the war!
