ML FOR most of us, memories of The Purple Heart are tinged with mar tial music, medalled veterans, Colonial charm and heroic patriotism. For the director and the cast, however, there are memories more humorous even than Colonel Humphrey's quips memories provided by small sons and daughters of the players, who attended rehearsals with surprising regularity. Small daugh ter of the Colonel provided some when she wandered up and down the aisles at a dress rehearsal telling all and sundry that her daddy had curls, but small son of Dr. Caldwell proved his value as a trooper when his father, about to dis cover evidences of espionage, delayed a moment in reciting his prophetic line. While the Doctor delved into the betray ing boot, a thin voice from the rear prompted Zounds, daddy, zounds F you want to have the world and especially Mundelein under your thumb don't aim lor dictatorship, author ship, or any other kind of ship. Simply follow in Walter Disney's footsteps, draw funny people for movies, produce SNOW WHITE, and half the collegi ans in a well-known North Shore Col lege will fall under your spell. Inhabi tants of the Student Lounge are ex hibiting gnome-like tendencies all be cause ot W.- D.'s movie. Almost any time you turn around you can see people like Clare Anderson, Rosemary Murn- Murnighan, and Betty Kreuzer, dart ing in and out of elevators, finished off with dwarf caps. AME, sought after and deserved, sweetens the daily living of any one who aims at publicized success; anonymity, on the other hand, is often the objective of genius. All of which is a philosophical preface to a slight but fun ny tale in the life of Agnes Griffin, jun ior of the 47 memorizcd-pages-of-I.izst record. It seems that in a moment oi inspiration, Agnes dashed off a poem, did not append her name, and then dashed off her brain child to the Trib's Line. Then she settled back, and scanned countless Lines, waiting for the publica tion of her unclaimed rapture of rhyme and rhythm. Alas, for our genius When the poem did appear Agnes Marie Griffin bravely marched under the last line. And the talc hangs on the fact that in her hasty posting, she sent the poem in an envelope of her per sonal stationery. Skyscrapings That the best of times are pastimes we all admit.

Lecturers Discuss Mental Life, Books, Girl Scouts You need more than the will to avoid mental ills, stated the Reverend Charles A. Doyle, S.J., professor of psychology at Loyola university, in the second of a series of lectures on mental hygiene, on March 2. Control of the will, Father Doyle ex plained, depends upon the management of action, feeling, and thinking. Every idea has a tendency to persist until it develops and expresses itself in action, Father stated. It is upon this principle that he based two of the rules of mental hygiene: to cherish thoughts tending toward actions which wc wish to perform, and to aban don thoughts which do not tend toward good. In this connection Father pointed out the importance of self-mastery in avoiding mental ills. According to Father Doyle the strength of an idea, which determines its devel opment, is in proportion to its warmth, concreteness, variety, and vividness. Fa ther Doyle concluded his lecture with emphasis upon the importance of avoiding vague, abstract thinking, which makes mental life nil. Magazine Sponsors Short Story Contest To help satisfy the need for good Catholic literature, the Queen's Work is sponsoring a short story contest, open to all students, and offering three prizes, of 50, 30 and 20. The contest closes at midnight on March 15. Stories not winning any award may, however, merit publication. All en tries must fall within the 2500 word limit, social-order stories being pre ferred. Finally, all entries must be accompanied by an entry blank which appears in the February issue of the Queen's Work. Music Library Receives Volume An autographed copy of a volume of songs composed by Henry Bickford Pasmore, dean of singing teachers of the Pacific Coast, has been presented to the college music library. Pasmore, a pupil of the great William Shakespeare, who is as famed in the field of music as his namesake is in drama, is a noted musician of Berkeley and San Fran cisco. The eight songs contained in the col lection arc thought to be the choicest of his works. It is a varied representa tive collection consisting of a Chinese love song translated from the Chinese by Charles Budd; another Chinese trans lation, of gripping tragedy; a lyric to which the critic Jadassohn applied his famous definition, a song requires three things: first, melody; second, melody; third, melody: adding, this song has melody. Mr. Pasmore has taught singing for more than 40 years, and his pupils are to be found as teachers in universities and other institutions all over the coun try, as church soloists, or- as ar tists on the concert platform and in opera. His daughter, Radiana Pazmor, mezzo-contralto, is a well-known so loist and teacher in New York. Mathematics Majors Lecture at Meeting Geraldine Connell and Loretta Klod- zinski, junior mathematics majors, lec tured before the mathematical academy oi the Science Forum on March 2. The subject of Miss Conncll's talk was The Relation of Mathematics to Sci ence, and Miss Klodzinski spoke on the Dark Ages of Arithmetic. Startling statistics on the number of used and unused books in the aver age library, as well as figures esti mating the total number of books published annually in the United States were presented to the assembly by the Reverend William T. Kane, S.J., Lo yola librarian, in a lecture on March 1. Admitting that the popularity of books has declined appreciably since the introduction of the motion pic ture, Father Kane refused to be alarmed by this condition, observing that the great books of antiquity- were known through other sources than reading. Of the 120,000,000 books printed in the United States in 1933, Father Kane- stated, 58,000,000 were textbooks, 22,000,000 were children's books, 11,- 000,000 were fiction, and 6,500,500 were books on religion and philosophy. From his own experience, and from the statements of other librarians Father Kane concluded that probably not more than one-seventh of the books in the larger American libraries are in ordinary circulation, and that many of the larger libraries buy books not so much for the average reader or the average student as for the hypo thetical reader, the profound scholar, intent upon original research. Scout Executive Talks To Sociologists Mrs. John Bremncr, member of the governing board of the National Council of Catholic Women and chair man of the Catholic Relations Com mittee on Girl Scouting, lectured on the advantages of Girl Scouting as social work, before members of the sociology classes, on March 2. The aim of Girl Scouting, according to Mrs. Bremner, is to assist the growing girl in her development to ward womanhood and to direct her interests during adolescent years. Popular among all classes of girls, Scouting as conceived by the Cath olic Girl Scout groups may prove an effective antidote for the environ mental disadvantages encountered by girls in underprivileged families, and Scout leadership may thus become a potent force in Catholic social wel fare work.
