“Journey’s End” Is Powerful
One of the very great dramas
in screen history is playing at the
State theatre today. It is “Jour
ney's End,” a simple, intense story
of the World war and its conse
quences on the souls of men.
It has no tremendous battle
Scenes with thundering cannonade;
it points no moral, nor has it any
women in the cast. But it man
ages to contain some of the big
gest dramatic moments ever
staged on screen or stage.
"Journey’s End” tells of the
English schoolboy, Raleigh, and his
hero-worship for his older friend,
Stanhope. He comes into the
trenches and finds his idol wear
ing clay feet, but he understands
why and how his idol came to be
a drunkard and still sees him as
a hero.
It is the type of picture that
sends one out into the street
thanking God that it is over, so
intense is the emotional strain, but
tremendously moved and angered
at the brutality of hysteria that
sends men into foul, stinking holes
underground, and into the battle
fields to be blown to destruction;
totally disregarding the distortion
it wreaks on their lives.
"Journey’s End” is a dramatic
event.

Colman in Good Medium
Starting today, the Fox McDon
ald is presenting that popular star
of "Bulldog Drummond” and “Con
demned,” Ronald Colman, in his
latest picture made for United
Artists, “Raffles.”
Adapted from the famous short
stories by E. W. Hornung, “The
Amateur Cracksman” offers Col
man a wonderful medium in which
to show his art, and “Raffles” is
the result. It shows the famous
crook in a society circle where
stakes are high, and risks great.
But the long list of successful en
terprises finally comes to an end
iWomen’s Events
To Be Scheduled
A.W.S. To Keep (luloiular
Of Meetings, Special
Occasions
In order to eliminate the con
tusion which sometime results
when more than one event is sched
uled on a day, a schedule or cal
endar will be kept by the Associat
ed Women Students in the office
of the dean of women. Dates of
all meetings or other events which
are planned by organizations of
women students which will effect
a considerable group of students
must be on this calendar.
Since there lias been conflict in
past years because groups inad
vertently schedule meetings and
special events on the same day,
the A. W. S. at a recent council
meeting decided to institute the
calendar in an effort to prevent
future confusion.
Ann Baum is to be in charge of
the calendar. She will notify or
ganizations in case of conflicting
dates. Presidents of houses, hon
oraries, frosh commission, Y. W.
C. A., Philomelete, and any other
groups affecting a large number of
women are especially asked to put
dates of meetings and social events
on this calendar. Home presidents
will be notified at Heads of Hous
es meeting, and Miss Baum is
sending cards to others who are af
fected by this new procedure.

From that time on he meets with
reverses and finally a rousing cli

Helen Kane at Colonial
At the Colonial theatre for the
i last time today, Helen Kane is
boop-a-dooping her way through
"Dangerous Nan McGrew.” The
picture is a delightful ' series of
impossible situations. It is Helen
Kane at her best.
As the brighter half of a medi
cine show, the Kane effects the
capture of a bold, bad bandit who
is wanted for murder. There is
ten thousand dollars on his head,
and Helen is cold and hungry.

Where Nighties Were Somber
A breath of a brilliant if some
what faded past sweeps across the
screen of the Heilig theater where
Marion Davies is playing "The
Floradora Girl.” This is a pan
orama of New York in the Gay
Nineties when even bathing suits
had high necks and long sleeves,
and a trip to Staten Island on a
bicycle built for two was decidedly
more of a treat than a motor trip
is today.
The picturesque scenes, quaint
costumes and outmoded morals de
picted In the picture offer a sim
ilar diversion to that of looking
through grandma’s album with the
added interest of the droll pictures
coming to life. Very much worth
while.

With a carefully planned organi

the Y. W. C. A. was prepared to
day to launch its 1930-31 campus
drive to replenish their funds to
the tune of $1,030.
The actual drive, planned for
three days, will be on after a 4
o’clock tea this afternoon at tjie
bungalow when Hazel Prutsman
Schwering, dean of women, Mrs.
Alice B. Macduff, assistant dean,
and other campus officials as
guests, the drive organization will
assemble.
Combined with the finance ef
fort the annual membership drive
will be led by Margery Mauzee,
chairman of membership. No dues
are involved with membership and
the two are combined in order to
minimize the organization’s time
and effort for both drives.
The drive directorate is com
posed of Eess Templeton, last
year’s chairman, who is now fi
nance head on the Seabeek divi
sion; Lois Nelson, who will be
chairman, and Eleanor Wood, head
of finance on the cabinet.
Captains, each of whom will
take charge of five living organi
zations and as a group will work

WRITES ABOUT EUROPE
(Continued from Page One)
timent in Germany is considered
incompatible with the peace of
Europe. This fear is not justified,
however, for various reasons; the
causes of the sudden rise of nation
alist votes to more than six mil
lions are economic rather than po
litical. Germany has been in the
throes of an economic crisis, deep
er perhaps than any other coun
try.
“Moreover, her social welfare
legislation, all the social insurance,
in addition to the unemployment of
three million men have heavily
drawn on her finances, A revul
sion in the sentiment of a large
section of the German people is
but natural under the difficult and
precarious conditions under which
the country finds herself. The bur
dens imposed upon the nation by
the Young plan have materially
aggravated Germany's difficulties.
Attends League Meet
“This was brought out impres
s ively by Foreign Minister Curtis
in his address before the League of
Nations assembly which I heard
at Geneva on Sept. 16. The rather
elegant young German foreign
minister, successor of the late
Streseman, has a delicate task of

of the world. He delivered his ail- j

dress in a very tactful and modest
manner, and was received with
warm applause. The French for
eign minister, Mr. Aristide Briand,
who sat with the French delega
tion, listened attentively to the en
tire address.
He appeared to be rather ner
vous, presumably on account of the
breakers ahead of his proposed
United States of Europe, although
his tone was very optimistic and
confident in his address delivered
on the day before.
Visits International Bank
The Bank of International Pay
ments at Basle has already proved
to be of considerable importance in
the settlement of international ob
ligations. The bank has only 20
depositors with 320,000,000 Swiss
francs in deposits. It has been sug
gested that the bank take an ac
tive part in the stabilization of
the foreign exchanges of Europe
and call a conference to consider
the causes of the world wide break
in prices. It is likely that the bank
will some day take an active part
in the control of international gold
movements. The vice-president of
the bank, Mr. Leon Fraser (who
has been a friend of mine since
the pre-war days) welcomed me at
Basle where the International
Bank is located. We visited the
bank and were entertained by Mr.
and Mrs. Fraser.
Italian Customs
“Italy makes a very favorable
impression. Strict order prevails,
railroads run fast and on time, the
city traffic, particularly in Rome,
is well regulated. There are no
beggars, no street vendors as in

.... says U. S. report
OU may call it toe itch, golf
X itch—the "doc” may call it
ringworm — millions of people
who catch it, call it "Athlete’s
Foot”—but all of them are the
same. A ringworm parasite,
tinea trichophyton by name,
causes that redness between the
toes with i-t-c-h-i-n-g. Tiny
blisters or a thick, moist skin
condition may be another symp
tom. Again dryness, with little
scales, is a signal.
"At least half of all adults
suffer from it at some time,”
says the U. S. Public Health
Service. In universities as far
apart as Pennsylvania and Cali
fornia 50% of the men have it.
And the co-eds are not immune
either.
It lurks in the very places
where we all go for cleanliness
and health — on the edges of
swimming pools and showers—
in gymnasiums—on locker- and
dressing-room floors. It spite of
modern sanitation (you have to
boil socks 15 minutes to kill it)
this fungus parasite infects and
reinfects bare feet almost any
time they come in contact with
damp floors.
