It is to that village that buyers from all over the world make pilgrimages." Thus, Dean Edward H. Kraus, of the Sum- mer session, summed up his illus- trated lecture on "The Gem Cutters of Idar-on-the-Nahe," which was pre- sented yesterday afternoon in th Natural Science auditorium. "Whenever you happen to go into a bazaar and see an agate articlte, such as this," continued the Dean as he indicated some speciments of agate work from Idar which were displayed on the lecture table, "you will know that it come sfrom Idar." Slides Are Shownj Dean Kraus by means of slides showed the Idar cutters at work. They lie upon their stomachs, in some cases, so that by means of cleats for their toes, they may exert a greater pressure on the stone that they are cutting. "This system, however," said the Dean, "was bad because it threw the weight of the man upon his chest and tuberculosis became prominent. Nowadays the cutters usually sit at their work." In connection with Idar Dean Kraus also mentioned the industry of bead drilling, and that of engraving, show- ing slides upon those subjects. He told'of how several years ago, when agate was scarce, that a group of the cutters from Idar left their homes for Brazil, where all being musicians, they formed a German band. One of! the members of this band happened to notice a type of rock in a stream he was passing that resembled the rock that he had once cut in Idar.j He sent it home, and the people dis- covered that it was a substitute for the agate that they had been using although it had to be dyed before it could be commercially practical. - Traces Methods At/ the beginning of his Idcture Dean Kraus- traced the different methods of cutting and polishing stones, and stated that there" are 25,- 000 men engaged in the industry, with 10,000 in Amsterdam, 11,000 in Antwerp, and more than 300 at Idar. He also mentioned that the gem cutters are regularly divided into two, classes although at Idar this order is slightly changed. The classes are the diamond cutters and the lapidaries, the former being what might be called the aristocrats of the profession. WOMEN'S LEAGUE TO HEAR LECTURE Mrs. W. D. Henderson, chairman of the fund campaign for the Women's J League, will have charge of the spe- cial entertainment at the tea to be given this afternoon from 4 to 5:30 in the parlofs of Barbour gymnasium.

"We have the most externaized I civilization the world ever saw," hel said. "Liberal education is the at-1 tempt to get insight into the life of the spirit, and to see that all the machin- ery of life is merely the servant of spirit. "As I view human life, I find con- stantly running through it, at theI foundation, a cleavage. Human lifel always falls apart at the very heart of it into two separate things. It is the chief business of liberal. educa-' tion to get at that cleavage, Life is I never intelligible, unless it does fall apart into the outer and inner-mat- ter and spirit."

The amazing defense by a mere handful of United States Marines and Nicaraguan com- stabulary, aided by five bomnbing planes from Managua, has served to scatter the rebels and has dealt a blow from which they are not seen likely to recover.

Then they are mixed up in a parti- ally sweet little combination of par- ental affection, melodrama, and non- sense, carrythem through a sweet litue play, and after they ai.e finished they all live happily ever after. For a play that has little to it .but simple attractiveness, "Pigs" is a re- markably good box office production. It is amusing, entertaining, well- played, and decidedly worth seeing. After fourteen perfomances of the barnyard scene from the sceond act, of "Pigs," it would seem that those members of the Rockford Players cast who have been in all of them might qualify for jobs on a farm. Certainly Amy Loomis, Robert Henderson, and Sam Bonnell are giving convincing presentations in this week's run at Sarah Caswell Angell hall. Miss Loomis and Frances Horine stand out as the most completely in part in the play, and they receive able support. What with Paul Faust's pas- sionate look when he plans his ca- reer as a poet, and Miss Horine's calm resignation to the whims of her faily, contrasted with the ingenuous enthusiasm of the two youthful lov- ers, one could not help being enter- tained by this production, little as there is of value in the vehicle it- self.
