STUDENT BODY IS MOSTLY PACIFIST Milwaukee (IP) According to a urvey drafted by students of the University of Wisconsin Extension division, more than 90 per cent of their ranks are confirmed pacifist!!. The survey, conducted by Dr. Philip H. Person, head of the psy chology department, revealed that While 67 per cent were unwilling to go to war, only 50 per cent were willing to carry their convictions to the point of imprisonment. Eighty nine per cent would resist a foreign invasion. The students chose President Roosevelt as the most deslrablo type of leader with Hitler as the least desirable. They denounced prepar edness as a plausable means of i averting war and unanimously agreed that the real hero was the man who could stand by his paci fist! convictions while his fellow jnen were being overcome by mili taristic frenzy. STUDENT SCORES Ml AT MID-DAY Philadelphia (IP) A letter, writ ten by n student, attacking the noontime Ja,x concerts held weekly In Houston Hall at the University of Pennsylvania, was published In a recent publication of the Pcnnsyl vanlan, campus daily. "If we must have a third-rate Jazz band," wrote the student, "let's dance to those rhythms on Houston Hull floor and invite the co-eds. The board of governor (the under graduates who plan the student union programs) show a lack of originality and bad taste In pre senting this type of entertainment." The writer suggests that frater nity songfests, plays, debates among the faculty, political discussions, or concerts of worthwhile music be substituted. The chairman of the board of governors, Joseph W. Carnwalh, of Rydal, submitted a reply to the stu dent which said: "Possibly we were wrong In presenting a jazz band, but before any plays or debates are presented at noon It would be ne cessary to have the assurance that the students would support such functions."

(Associated Press Photos) SOCIETY (Continued from Patte 5) the able leadership of Mrs. William Pordyce Fargo. At that time the committee met once a month to work on the pictures which were found in magazines or bought in dividually by members of the committee. Later, the work was carried on with Mrs. Clifton Mudd as chair man. The library was enlarged, art talks were given at the club meetings and art appreciation Increased. For the last two years Mrs. Ras- mitsscn has been the chairman. During this period several hundred pictures have been added to the col lection. These were mostly gifts from the members and taken from current magazines, with the club supplying the funds for mounting board, paste, etc. A great many of these pictures arc Literary Digest covers. It is inter esting to know that while the or iginal cost of each cover Is very nominal, yet to replace them will be very expensive each cover more than three months old costs one dol lar. Therefore, from that point of view the collection is very valuable. Last year the goal of the com mittee was to start picture library col lections In the neighboring small clubs by offering them the surplus duplicates. They had the pleasure 1o interest the Salem Heights Woman's club and the Liberty Wo man's club In this work. Lnst spring they were given sev eral hundred Literary Digest covers at one time and when these were mounted they realized that the club did not have adequate means of circulating them projierly. So, in their desire to share them with oth ers' the Salem Woman's club. re cently voted to loan the entire col lection to the Oregon state library for circulation This makes the pic tures available to every Individual in the whole stale. The club Is especially eager that these pictures be used in the schools, (not only In art classes but In his tory, geography, literature classes as well), on club programs or study classes or for material for art ex hibit. The club suggests that the pic tures be studied not only by Indi vidual artists as Sargent, Homer, etc., but by groups such as: Snow , scenes, marines, sailing ships, Rocky mountain scenery, desert scenes, portraits, still-life, early American, ! Indian, American artists' lntcrprc- tat tons of foreign lands and peo- pies, hunting scenes, etc. The Salem Woman's club will continue to Increase the collections as rapidly as funds permit. It has been suggested that others besides Its own club members might wish to contribute pictures. It will be very glad to receive any such contribu tions and full credit will be given to the donor on the back of each picture. The following magazines have contained material suitable for our purposes: Ladles' Home Journal, Delineator, Pictorial Review, Sur vey, Harper's, Mentor, Woman's Home Companion, Art Digest, Lit erary Digest, American Legion Monthly, Saturday Evening Post, American, Good Housekeeping, In ternational Studio, Instructor, Sun day school papers.

For 29 years they have made their home here, except for a period of five years which they spent at Mon- JEAN HAY SAID TO BE NAME OF NOTED PAINTER Paris (IP) The anonymous Mast er of Moullns now has a name. It's "Jean Hay," If the deductions of Dr. Maurice H. Ooldblatt, director of the Art Gallery of the University of Notre Dame, are correct. The triptych of Moullns, long considered the masterpiece of French are of the 15th Century, and over which has waged a verita ble war as to its authenticity, defi nitely Is the work of Jean Hay, and painted in 1408. Some critics have considered these panels in the Cathedral of Moulins as the work of another painter, Jehan Perreal, but Dr. Qoldblatt, the Chicago expert, who first saw the triptych in 1926 and who for the past eight years has specialized in the study of primi tives, mainly of the Florentine and French schools, now is convinced that it is the work of Hay. "Are historians and experts have been trying to solve this problem," he said, "and the painter was be lieved by some to be Jehan Per real, court painter to Charles VIII, Louis JII and Francois I, but there was nothing definite upon which to base this supposition. By my own method of identification of paint ings, however, I am positive that this triptych Is from the brush of Hay." Hay was a famous artist of the 15th Century, now almost forgotten, and one of the many pictures paint ed by him still bears his name. It Is the "Christ with the Scepter." Louis Dimier, French art histor ian, says that Jean Hay was painter to the Bourbons and that he made Tours the center of his activity. Or. Goldblatt has identified 14 other paintings in the great galleries as the work of Hay, some of them be ing anonymously attributed to the Master of Moulins. Four are in the Louvre Museum, three in the Brus- itor. There are four children, Alvln of Norwalk, Calif., George of Los Angeles, Mrs. Josephine Dunton of Molalla and Mrs. Rex R. Randall of Oakland, Cal. Also nine grand children. The date was also the 30th wed ding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Nlerson who were among the guests. ... i Poole-Rateliffe Vows To Be Said Woodburn The wedding of Miss Martha Ratcliffe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. A.

Jehan Perreal paints much like1 Hay, which accounts for the con fused Identification, but Dr. Gold blatt attributes his discovery to the fact of an authentic signature and a date, 1488, on a "Portrait of a Young Man" In the Friedsam col lection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where It is wrongly attributed to the Master of Moulins. This is the only known signed picture by Perreal. FARM WOMEN LACK HOME EQUIPMENT The wide potential market that exists among rural homemakers for common household conveniences, if and when purchasing power is re stored, is indicated by an inquiry involving more than 400 farm homes in six Oregon counties, made by home demonstration agents, su pervised by Miss Lucy A. Case, ex tension specialist in nutrition at Oregon State college. More than a third of the rural homes were found to be without sinks, and more than two-thirds were without drain boards on both sides o fthe sinks. Only a few more than half of the homes surveyed had running water and only 30 per cent had both hot and cold water. Despite the lack of many conven iences in handling food for the household, a considerable degree of self-sufficiency in food production, preservation and preparation was found, Miss Case reports. From 38 to 42 per cent raise all or part of their vegetables and more than half produce all their eggs. Ten per cent of the rural homemakers preserve eggs, 49 per cent can fish and 85 per cent can fruit. Home baking is the rule, with percentages ranging from 39 per cent who bake all of their bread to 74 per cent who bake all of their cakes. Inquiry also revealed that as many as half of the homemakers would be found without such simple kitchen equipment as quart and pint measures, measuring cups and spoons, and fruit and vegetable shredders.
