"This is the Library.
"If one should ask me which is the greatest wonder of
the world, I would choose neither the Pyramids of Egypt,
nor the splitting of the atom. .
"Instead, quite proudly, as though I myself had discovered
this, I would reply. 'The public library,' for It is all things
to all men. To me, this is truly the greatest wonder, for
beneath its sheltering roof is the distillate of everything
: man has learned since the beginning of his existence.-
. "Here, each in Its cloister and catalogued in a most amaz
ing way, are ' all the questions and answers mankind is
capable of asking and finding.
"This is where the blind can see, where the deaf may
hear, and where the mute can speak. This is where the
old grow young, and- the young gain the wisdom of the ages.
-. "This is the only place man has ever found where
the Greek words 'alpha' and 'omega' assume their literal
meaning; for wisdom indeed, Is the beginning and end of all
human experience. . ; v

'clally pertinent for the beginning of National- Library
It 1 Vt every woman who will allow herself to be argued
' I picture taken with her hair in curlers. Since
n Matlack, out of kindness and in the spirit of
', did pose for such a picture, she has the special
' a society editor. However, the attractive young
uo't have worried. She looks appealing, even In
pin curls.
' ' Sometimes we have a difficult time finding those who
wlH pose for pictures when we have "idea" or propaganda
pages, and now Is a good-time to say;"thank you to all the
obliging souls who have done so in the past. - v -
Spring always brings a spate of parties, style shows, con
certs and such, and as a result the society editor has been
hurrying hither and yon, has found trouble dieting amidst
the delicacies and has had her -head set swimming with the
'it of smart spring clothes and marvellously beautiful
nd fragrant spring flowers.
In addtion to food, flowers and pretty clothes, the Amer
Icsn Legion auxiliary party last Saturday night had cele
brities, too. Mingling with the VIPS of the auxiliary, in
cluding Mrs. Earl Bigalow, for whom the dinner was given,
were the radio commentator, Frank Hemingway, and his
charming blonde wife. Mr. H., by the way, has one of those
voices which sounds different first hand than over the air.
Mrs. Bigalow had on a pretty flowered spring dress and
Mrs. Hemingway wore a champagne colored chiffon frock.
Mrs. Btgalow's gown is made with what the fashion world
calls "spaghetti straps" and when Post Commander Granville
Brittsan attempted to pin a corsage on the bodice, he had
considerable difficulty. After jabbing a finger with the cor
sage pin, Mr. B. held up the wounded hand and said "I
demand a Purple Heart."
Stories and anecdotes filled the air, but this "out of the
mouths of babes" tale, told by one of the women at head
table, Is our favorite. A small boy was called in from play by
his mother, who took one look and said "What in the world
have you been doing to your hands?" Learning that he had
been playing with worms she answered "Well, go wash
them and come to dinner." The boy retired to the bathroom,
there was the long sound of running water and then he ap
peared, triumphantly displaying something for his mother.
"Look Mom, I'll bet these are the cleanest worms in the
whole world." O.S. '

Psychologist Gives
Advice to Wives
Milwaukee (UPD - A psy
chologist . who specializes in
the problems of management
believes a woman who wants
to help her husband's career
can be extremely effective if
she just leaves him alone at
work.
David K. Spelt, of Rohrer.
Hibler Replogle, Milwaukee
consulting psychologists, re
cently told wives of employes
of the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Co., a wife
should have "enough imagina
tion and self-sufficiency to
run a modern home without
making many interruptions at
her husband's office."
Spelt said interruptions are
distracting to a man at work I
and if he "is constantly inter
rupted during the day by calls
from home he well might be
looked on as one who may be
unable to give his best during
the working day" when it
comes to concentration and
decision making. ... .
Spelt, told the wives they
have "an obligation to keep
material and financial ambi
tions in line with the family
situation." 1 . ,
He also said it is desirable
for women to have "enough
intelligence to keep reason
ably in stride with her husband."
The tour is planned as an
economy trip to afford more
persons the opportunity of
participating. However, sev
eral optional facilities and
events will be available for
those desiring them. Details
on reservations, financing and
itinerary may be obtained
from the Robert Powell
Travel service in Portland.
For those eligible, college
course credit will be given
for this particular tour, ac
cording to school officials. In
terested students may apply
to Sister Miriam Barbara,
president, Marylhurst college,
Marylhurst, Oregon.
Second Tour
The second tour, also leav
ing by air from Portland, is
sponsored by the Catholic
Sentinel, official newspaper
of the Portland archdiocese.
Father Edward Zenner, of
Central Catholic High school
and the Sentinel! will be tour
director.
The six - week excursion
will take the travelers to such
cities as Paris, Geneva, Zur
ich, Rome, Athens, Cairo, Bei
rut, Damascus, Jem salem,
Amman, Tel Aviv, Istanbul
and Vienna,
Departure for the six-week
trip has been set for July 23.
Further particulars may be
obtained from the Powell

merous periods of leisure
time and both will include
audiences with Pope John
while in Rome. Men and wom
en of all ages and denomina
tions are invited to join either
