SKYSCRAPER Pa e Three We're Not too Old to Play with Dolls N.JJ. Campus, New England Are Art Exhibit Scenes What Goes on ... Francis J. Hanley Pictures Are Here This Month ..insist the three youngest seniors, (left to right) Joan Morris (Oct. 8, 1921), Jeanne DuMoulin (Dec. 29, 1921), and Peg- fcy Schweisthal (Nov. 21, 1921), who hope that the children who will receive these and other toys for Christmas will like pem as well as they do. The University of Notre Dame cam pus and the New England countryside and seashore serve as locales for most of the water colors in the Francis J. Hanley collection, now on exhibit in the art gallery on the fifth floor. Assistant professor of fine arts at the University of Notre Dame, Mr. Hanley did most of the water colors during the past six months. They will be on display here until Dec. IS. Distinguished among the pictures are Of Masques and Beauty Dead, repre sentative of the gaiety of Old Venice. Death for a Sea Queen is the painting of a British pleasure boat towed into harbor to be converted into a convoy. Pavannc for a Dead Princess is an interpretive ballet design. Other paint ings are Our Lady of the Dome. Morn ing Over Dujarie, Point Judy, and Con spiracy. According to Mr. Hanley. water col ors are increasing in popularity since many of the modern homes and apart ments are too small to accomodate large oil paintings. This type of art involves :i most difficult technique be cause it depends on the oneness with which you put it down; you cannot change it.

Excuse It Please Says Commerce Club Enact Dramas of Business Do's and Don'ts Tells of Mechanical Devices to Compute Chemical Problems Discusses Ethical Problems of Lawyer Ethical problems encountered In- Catholic lawyers was the topic dis cussed by James A. Daley, Chicago attorney and member of the Catholic Lawyers Guild, on Dec. 2, before mem bers of the Commerce club. A good lawyer, according to Mr. Daley, can try any case, but a good lawyer must always avoid and resist the temptation to tamper with facts. Among the axioms of his profession explained by Mr. Daley were these: Hear the other side. A man is inno cent until he is proved guilty. Insist upon a fair and impartial trial. A series of skits dealing with ques tions that might arise in college or business life were given at the Com merce club meeting on Nov. 25. Jane Courtney, president of the club, was chairman of the Excuse It, Please pro gram. The first skit, College Courtesies, was presented by Bonnie Mae Diebold, Eileen Mahcr, and Patricia Schuene- nian. Modern Exactions of Courtesy was enacted by Dorothy Welch, Pa tricia Kearney. Jacqueline Seymour. Helen Lawlcr, Ceil Dohcrty, and Jeanne Loftus. The next playlet, Business Etiquette, was given by Helen Dwyer, Josephine La Mantia, Marjorie Kendrick, and Mary Florence Ghiloni. The final skit, Off to the Ball, was enacted by Audrey Anderson, Jane Frercs, Vivian Tarant, Phyllis Van Heule, Audrey Tobin. and Dorothy Dunklau. Shows Spectrophotometer It is entirely feasible to solve chemi cal problems without any computation whatever, declared G. Michael Schme- ing, Ph.D.. of the chemistry department, in an address to the Physical section of the Science Forum on Nov. 25. Dr. Schmeing is head of the chemistry de partment at Loyola. As practical examples, Dr. Schmeing demonstrated two mechancial devices. The first, a gas analyzer, took com pounds such as ordinary flue gas and analyzed them exactly as to chemical composition. The second, a spectrophotometer, gave the absorption spectrum of a color. This device, Dr. Schmeing explained, is used in large commercial laborator ies for determination of color. He then showed a movie in techni color called Curves of Color, which demonstrated the great practical value of the spectrophotometer. r VEKYONE is happy about Bake- * ' a-Cake-Day. except Senior Maude Shuflitowski, possessor, nay. creator of the black sheep of cakedom, the Cakc- That-Fcll, the second of her two at tempts at culinary art.

Here is one case where the correlation was so close as to be confusing: A Faculty member in the midst of a Scripture class held up Michelangelo's Creation of Man. And what is this? she queried. Anita Caparros. art major, knew The Creation of Man, she said. Said Faculty member, thinking in terms of art: By whom? Replied Anita, thinking in terms of Scripture, By God. * * * / N the anniversary of their first date - together. Junior Gene Marie Bra bets and Earl Thomas Menten became engaged after an 11-year friendship which began when they attended St. John Bcrchman's grammar school. The gentleman responsible for the diamond on Miss Brabet's third finger, left band, attended Purdue university after his graduation from Campion, and is now with the Giicago Title and Trust coin- pain . * * * INSPIRED when packing his 110th cake, one of the Railway Express representatives, who so kindly came en masse to wrap and ship our drafted pastry for us, composed this little ditty, which we thought ap propriate to our Bakc-a-Cake-for- a-Soldier Day: They baked a cake at Mundelein; A soldier ate it in Caroline; He said to the captain, with great delight: Where is this war? I'm ready to fight 110 Students Bake Cakes Fo Sailors, Marines, as National e, Mu Nu Sigma Guest Speaker Analyzes Papal Encyclical In an analysis of the encyclical, Aeter- ni Patris, at the Mu Nu Sigma meeting Dec. 2, the Reverend William T. Clarke. S.T.D.. professor of education at St. Mary-of-the-Lakc seminary at Mun delein, 111., said that it is the duty of Catholics to understand their philosophic system and its close association with their religion, so that they may ade quately defend it against prejudice and explain it in the face of error and ig norance. The first speaker of the program, which was called to order by Inez Thomas, club president, was Altine Kel leher, who spoke of the aims of Pope Leo, a philosopher as well as a the ologian. The timeliness of the encyclical was the subject of the paper delivered by- Frank McGarr of Loyola. That national defense projects arc booming successes, we knew, but we never realized the boundless, sincere enthusiasm which they arouse in the American citizen until five-score stu dents, seven photographers, and four Railway Expressmen got together in the dietetics laboratory on Mundelein's Bake-a-Cake-for-a-Soldier Day, Nov. 25. It all started when Janet Farrell's butter-cream-frosted layer cake, sent to a selectee friend at Scott Field, evoked glad response from friends of friends who had bites of said pastry, and 25 postal cards and letters, thanking Miss Farrell in poetry, prose, and pun, lay on her desk one bright morning. Junior Skyscraper reporter Joan Leach, who had a glimpse of Miss Far rell's fan mail, realized that the paper would he interested in what a college girl could do for defense. It seems that pic ture editors of all Chicago publications were similarly interested, so, for the next few days, newspapers became mirrors to Janet Farrell. She was even awak ened one morning by the sound of her name on her room-mate's radio. From there on, it was one easy jump to the problem: If one cake makes 25 soldiers happy, how many will be made happy by 100 cakes? Twenty-five hun dred? Exactly With this logical viewpoint, the home economics department, in which Miss Farrell is a sophomore, sponsored a Bake-a-Cakc-for-a-Soldier Day and scores of young home-makers, done up in long bobs and white Hooverettcs, prepared to whip up delectable pastry for dough boys, in the dietetics laboratory, while scores of other students, not fortunate enough to major in home economics, beat eggs into batter at home (in the kitchen, we presume). Result: 109 perfectly beau tiful cakes; one fallen Taj Mahal. One o'clock arrived, and so did seven photographers from news and syndicates alike, who patiently stood in the midst of mix-masters and measuring spoons and took pictures of girls mixing, bak ing, frosting, displaying cakes, and even of Railway Expressmen genially wrap ping and shipping them to Camp For rest, Fort Bliss, Camp Livingston. r Soldiers, Defense Project Camp Claibourne, Kelly Field. Fort Knox. Fort Sheridan. Camp Croft, Cor pus Christie, and 46 other points north, south, east, and west. What do the soldiers who received the cakes think about it all? You'll never know bow much good the Mun delein girls arc doing. wrote one. Keep up the cakes, and you'll keep up our spirits, said another. It does US no end of good just to know that someone is thinking of us, wrote a third, and the other remarks have been just as heartening and heartened. Several lads have gratefully sent their regimental insignia, beginning what is probably the first college col lection of these. Inspired by the Mundelein defense movement, a student of the National Col lege of Education announced that since we were sending cakes to soldiers, she would try to see the sailors are not neglected. Incidentally, some of the cakes from Mundelein went to the Navy, but we're glad to see that other schools are going to make cakes for men in uniform.
