F—3 Jobs Make Education PossiblefiHere Washington Colleges Create All Types of Workers Earning Wisdom. By E. C. Canova. . EXT time you drive into a road- side stand for a hamburger and coffee don't assume a su- perior air when you give your order to the smilng young man or woman who rushes up to serve you— fpr you may be talking to a future Cordell Hull or an embryonic Portia, who already ‘may know more about international politics, economes or the intricacies of law than you do. At least that is what I discovered after talking with officials of some of our larger universites as well as young college men and women who are work- ing their way through school and paying for it in time and labor of one sort or another. Dropping into one of these eating places, I talked with a rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed, husky young fellow who radiated health and ambition like a pair of patent leather shoes on a sunny day. When he brought order I popped a few questions at him. | “Yes, sir, I go to George Washing- ton,” he replied, courteously, “and \)\ does that fellow over there; and’that | one goes to Georgetown, and so does this fellow just going by with the fray. The one back there mgainst the table is from Am University, and then there is anc fellow from American who wi gide,” he said as he pointed them out. * “What's your daily schedule of work and school?” was my nexi question. ‘Well, I usually, come to work at 6 hard to get a job unless you are a high school graduate!” ““What are you majoring in?” -“I'm just taking a general course now,” he replied, laughing. “I don't know yet what line I want to follow, so0 I thought I'd take the liberal arts course, and later if I want to specialize in something, what I learn now will not hurt me any.” I dwell at some length on my talk with this particular young Southerner, because he exemplifies what the others are doing, and it is interesting to see how earnest they art and how lightly they pass off the long hours of work and study, with but little thought to the very pleasant but useless expendi- ture of time consumed by many in fluttering around to social affairs. Another interesting phase is their great modesty about what they are doing. “Oh, that's nothing—lots of others are doing this, and more; please don’t use my name.” However, I finally did succeed in gemng one young lady to allow the |use of her name and picture, and we will speak of her later. ’I‘ALKING with those In charge of placement bureaus in some of the flerent colleges, I was told that at | least 40 per cent of the college students | in Washington are doing work on the outside to help support themselves and pay their expenses in school. Of course, it is a well-known fact that many of the students are older, more mature men and women who go to night school while working in the o'clock in the evening and stay till about 2 in the morning. Then I go home and sleep until around 8. My tlasses begin at 10, except once or %wice a week, when they start at li— those days I sleep till 9 o'clock—and do I enjoy that extra hour! Classes last until about 3 or 4 in the after nopn.” . “When do you study | ‘tween breakfast and m: {and then again in the aiternoon be- | tween the time I leave school and | have to be at work.” “Do you find it” d flicult to keep up | with your studies?” “No— only when I have to do out- side reading or research and prepare » written paper. Then its a little hard, but as far as regular studies and recitations go that isn't difficult at all.” 'VERY once in a while he would ex- cuse himself and dash off to wait | on another car or pick up an empty | tray, so our talk was a sort of serial affair. However, I learned that he had | supported himself evers ce he was | 15, having paid his own way t‘*.rou\"h\ high school and now doing o in col- | lege. Moreover, he was sending money | home to aid in putting a younger sister through school. “How did you come to all this?” I asked. “Well, you see, I figured that I was | young and strong, and dad had had enough on his shoulders, so I might es well help by looking out for my- self. Then, too, as I see it, 10 years from now unless a man has a college education he -will not have much chance; a high school education be ‘just ordinary'—why even now ii's undertake various Government departments dur- ing the day, and many of this 40 per cent are even married and have grow- ing families. At least one of these m is, in my opinion, worthy of some sort of a medal—not only does He suvport a wife and children (note the piural), but he also sends money | home regularly for his aged parents, | pays his way through college where | the Midwest runs a chicken ranch all he is working for his doctorate in philosophy—and does all this on one of the lesser Government salaries. How he does it is a source of amaze- ment and admiration to his friends | and the college authorities—and while | I never met the gentleman, I should like to nominate him as an expert to undertake the balancing of the na- tional budget! However, it is primarily in the youngsters just out of high school who are doing unusual things that I am interested at this time, and there- in I ran into some unexpected angles. Speaking to one placement mana- | ger, I explained: *Itis jobs somewhat out of the ordinary I'm interested in— not just the usual run of young women ing as companions in a home where the husband is away on fre- quent trips, or taking care of chil- dren.” “And that is the funny part,” was } the reply. “None of our girls will take | those jobs!” } “Why? “I don’t know; but they just don'l‘ seem to want to do that sort of thing. On the other hand, we have several young men who will and do go out Saturdays and Sundays to take charge of younger boys, play games with them and perhaps coach them a little if they are weak in their studies.” Yet across town there is another ‘Growth of Modern Car Has Long History By William S. Odlin. HE automobile which gleams to- day in 1938 model brilliance really is not the modern crea- | tion which it so definitely ap- pears to be. If one is content to be merely technical about it, there are velid grounds for arguing that the vehicle was foreshadowed before Chris- | years before had perfected the engine | to such point that he was able to in stall it in a standard carriage and drive | for 3 miles. Four years later, 71 years | ago, De Rochas’ suggestion material- | ized in the form of ‘the Otto-Langen four-cycle gas engine which was pat- ented in the United States in the fol- lowing year. By 1887, 50 years ago, the automo- | Apollo tianity came into the world. And li bile had moved much farther along one is not content to let it go on that | toward its present state. In that year, basis, one can at least fall back 150 | Daimler, inventor of the bubbling car- years and show rather beyond cavil that the vehicle had some 110 years | of History before it began its record- making march in the late 19th cen- | tury. | The basis of the vehicle, if not the car, itself which dig not materialize for some centuries thereafter, made its appearance in 130 B.C. That was the year in which Hero of Alexandria turned one of the fine inventive minds of that period to the.building of the first steam engine. Even before then, 8 number of lesser skilled citizens had dabbled with the idea. Hero, avoiding their mistake-, actually built a:. engine that would r It may have made | more noise than it had power, but it | ran. Moreover, it proved principles | that have been apern‘ive in the world | ever since, First hint mac Hero's idea might chase the horse back to the race track or the plow was a long time in com- | ing thereafter. i It was not until 1787, a century and one-half ago, that Oliver Evans, & Maryland man, induced his home State | to set the example that has been so magnificently followed since giving| steam-propelled vehicles the right to‘ use public highways. Evans was ex-' perimenting at that time, just experi- | menting. But two years later, in 1789, he took out the first patent on a self- | propelled vehicle. Thus the automobile was born officially in the country that was destined to develop it to the point where it stands today. KIPPING lightly down the years, 50 years at a stride, one finds that | Evans' trail-blazing was fruitful of | many results directly antecedent to| many of the features of today's num-l mobiles. By 1837, one hundred years ago, dif- ferential gearing had been applied to the steam carriage, the invention of one Richard Roberts of Manchester, England. The first India rubber tires, solid ones, were still being marveled at, and Robert Anderson of Aberdeen, Scotland, was hard at work on the first | electric motor which was destined two | 1 years later to actyally propel the first | vehicle so driven. | Twenty-five years later, in 1862, a | PFrenchman began to tell the world of | an idea which is the éssential basis of.| today’s motor vehicle. Beau de Rochas was his name and it was De Rochas’ theory that the four-cycle engine was | the one which should be developed. | The soundness of his reasoning an- pealed to a great many inventors and they set to work on its practical ap- Pplication. In advocating the four-cycle enginey now universal in the motor car, De Rochas had the inspiration of the first gas engine, which used spark ignition. This power plant was the invention of Parisian, who two [} Irw The first gasoline-driven car | the competitors were capable of fin- | apart. | tion {1 buretor, brought out his first automo- bile after having tried his design genius theretofore on two and tnree wheeled vehicles. R. E. Olds made the same year notable in automotive history by in- troducing his first steam- pmpeUedl vehicle. , The steam power in this vehicle, it is interesting to note, was generated by the burning of gasoline.| The variable speed transmission had | been developed, the first oil-burning engine was in the process of perfec- | tion and the carburetor was beginning | to assume a form not greatly different from that it has today. The pneu- matic tire, not a very good one but a | pneumatic tire nevertheless, was in| process of greater perfection and there was a great deal of experimentation with fuels, all of them looking toward the eventual adoption of gasoline. OVING on 10 years, to 1897, one follows a record of constant prog- | had appegred—was in its third year, in fact—and was the inspiration of nu- merous imitations. Engines were be- ing placed under hoods and cars be- gan to assume the lines which are the primitive parents of the sleek-looking affairs of the present. Road racing had become a matter of great interest, speeds were climbing un to around 12 | miles an hour and reliability was such that in many testing race events all ishing—although sometimes very far The specific high light of the year 1897 with respect to developments of a technical nature was the applica- tion, made in England, for & patent on the first electric self-starter. By 1912, 25 years ago, the automo- bile had come a long way toward its present state of mechanical perfection. The year was the one in Which the |2 first electric’self-starter was installed as standard equipment. Detachable rims, introduced some months before, still were the talk of the town, the | worm-gear drive for trucks had come aiong, electric headlights were fairly well perfected and the four-door body, | eleciric generator and dash oil gauges were receiving a great deal of attén- om automobile show crowds. Ten years later, that would be 15 years ago as the automobile has flown, one comes upon one of the most signi- ficant changes in motor car equip- ment. The development in question was the balloon tire. Four-wheel brakes, anti-knock fuels, oil filters and a number of pther items which have become so standard as to attract no attention today, all were in the proc- ess of perfection, and all of them were destined to be introduced within the next two yeara. T college where the girls do almost nothing else but housework or look after children to earn their living and seem to enjoy doing it, for they take their education very seriously. OME students prefer to take their studies early and their work later, as witness the young law student at Southeastern University, who attends classes from 7 to 8:30 every morn- ing, then works a good part of the day as a waitress in a Connecticut avenue eating place, doing her study- ing at night. On the other side of the clock is the young fellow who has the mid- night shift driving a bus in a fash- ionable suburban area. Another” energetic young man from summer and makes enough money on that to carry him through the fol- lowing school year. Two other young men I know ob- tained work in the stockroom of a large 5 and 10 cent store upon gradu- ation from high school. The work is hard, and the hours are long, but they stuck with it and saved their money as well as acquirng a good outfit of clothes, and one of them is now at Maryland University, while the other plans to enroll there in Feburary. But there is one job going begging— at least it was at the time I talked with the employment director, who said she had a call for a young woman to act as a sort of “deaconess” and assist 2 minister in calling on fam- | ilies in the parish, take charge of the | junior department of the Sunday scnool etc. The difficlty was that :he must have had a certain kind of training to fit her for this work and must also be of the same faith, and th were having some difficulty in finding an applicent who could fill all the requirements. A local high school graduate who is | anxious to become a fiyer in the Naval Air Service is paying his expenses through college by working as an undertaker's assistant! Another has a job on the police force and attends classes during his off time. BUT let's talk about Betty Morse, who was gracious enough to pose HE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO!

She is “recreation director” | at Hillcrest, the Children’s Village out on Nebraska avenue which is, strictly speaking, an orphanage, but is more like a first-class boarding school, what with its attractive buildings nicely furnished, beautiful grounds and the friendly, “homey” air and manner of the women who direct it. _Betty is a student at Amercian University and one of their outstand- ing pupils, which is best proven by the fact that her ‘marks are of scholar- ship quality and last year she won the Alpha Chi Omega prize of $100 as the best all-around girl and for “out- standing achievement and character.” From 8 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon she attends classes, then back to Hillcrest, .where from 3:30 to 8:30 she teaches and directs them in their various sports and games, and she also directs the activi- ties of a Girl Scout troop. She walks to and from the univers- ity each day and is studying to be a teacher, so that the work she is doing at Hillerest is complementary to her studies, thus making a happy combi- nation. The State of Ohio should be very proud of Betty, for that is her home. The old saying that “All work and to be disproved by the young army of students who are working their way through school. Of course, as in everything else, there are extremes, and here and there somebody’ll try to do too much and suffer & breakdown, but the majority of those with whom I talked were keen, alert, bright-eyed and laughed easily, and insisted that they had plenty of fun, there being dances or social affairs week ends that they could usually attend, and seemed to apply good common sense in not trying to do too much. So whether it is driving a bus or taxi, teaching a class wood-carving, putting up or taking down screens, floors, acting as chauffeur, agents for cleaning firms or laundries, selling from door to door, waiting on table or cashiering in lunchrooms or roadside stands, coaching younger pupils, or assisting an undertaker, you will find young Washington rolling up its physical and mental sleeves and pitching in to do the job of acquiring an education. “And what do you do in your spare time?” I asked one young fellow Jokingly. “Sell magazines, vacuum clflaners rosebushes or anything else that can make little money on!" he rro! right back at me in all seriousness! { Another for Bing. will place Bing Crosby at a race track, his favorite haunt, will be pro- duced for Paramount by Wesley Rug- gles, producer-director, and the ace writer, Claude Binyon, it was an- nounced today.

By Richard Watts, jr. T IS a trifle discouraging to realize that the best American phy of the ynr is one that was first produce d early in 1925. The drama, of ‘course, is John Howard Lawson's “Processional” that strange and disturbing jazz cartoon of industri: & “rhapsody in red,” and b; “g comic supplement in the throes of & futuris mghtmnr years by that sprightly offspring of the Government, the Federal Theater Project, “Processional” demonstrates that it is just as haunting and ex- citing as its admirers said it was and that its detractors were just old fogies. I think there can be little doubt that it is one of the classics of the Ameri- can theater and one of the modern plays most clearly entitled to respect, and appreciation. Strange things have happened to the world since Mr. Lawson’s play had its embattled The- ater Guild engagement, and not the least strange of them is that this fighting work, which once frightened people with its Bolshevik tendencies, is now applauded by the reviewers of such conservative journals as the Herald Tribune, the New York Times | and the New Yorker and is set upon | with some indignation by the critic| of the New Masses, In the author’s preface to his pub- lished play, as prlnted in the pro-| gram, Mr. Lawson says: ‘“Buried under the hokum of advertisements, headlines, radio speeches, a genuine inner necessity, of direction. What is the key and the meaning? What does the future heid beside the indefinite prolonga- tion of human life by glandular treat- ment, and the total annihilation of it in the eagerly expected next world war?” There is about this quotation a certain pretentious air that unfortu- | nately finds its way into the play oc- casionally, but at least it’does offer in what still is a sometimes cryptic drama. Mr. Lawson found “the hokum of advertisemlents, headlines, radio speeches,” as well as the comic strip, vauleville, the feverish tempo of jazz and the strident accents of most significant aspects. He hoped, by tossing them all together into a fantastic melodrama of American in- dustrial strife in one of its most fantastic arenas, the State of West Virginia, to capture the feeling and the direction of that life in more striking and incisive a fashion than could be managed in the conventional realistic play. The resulting drama is brash, occasionally unintelligible, funny, exciting, eccentric, disturbing, noisy, often hauntingly eloquent and always vigorously alive. | { T MUST be confessed that the pro- duction which the Federal Theater Project has accorded ‘‘Processional” |is a far from satisfying one. The | staging is too lacking in electric zest ]and the excitement of the work’s jazz | tempo. Where the drama and abandon, it has a way of seem- ing sedate and even desultory. The settings, too, while handsome in a | black, cold, semi-realistic way, fail| |to capture the mood of the play be- | cause they lack the cheaply stylized vaudeville quality that the purpose of “Procession calls for. The acting, LI think, is rather too deliberate. And the author’s revision of text, which consists both of excisions and addi- tions to the original, has not helped things at all. It seems to me that it | would have been much better if Mr. |Lawson had just left things as they | were, although it is only fair to say| that the changes are by no means | | some of the reason for the imp"e&smn | that the current production of -*“Pro- | cessional” is inferior to the original | lies in the fact that many of us who were enthusiastic about the play in the first place now tend to idealize the performance we saw in 1925. Still, { I think there can be little doubt that | the original production, with George Abbott, Miss June Walker, Donald | MacDonald and Philip Loeb in the leading roles, was more effective m every way than the W.

I must grant, also, lha!‘ al strife that was described iy vmdert Gabriel as y Percy Hammond €= » ~Tugtime symphony” and Eev‘ved lflfl' 11 s Nevertheless, the current presentas tion has its merits. The chief one is the.performance of Miss Ruth Gilbert in the role of the girl looking for love and excitement and some meaning in life, the part so beautifully played originally by Miss Walker. It is true that Miss Gilbert lacks some of the poignant lyricism of Miss ‘Walker in the role, but her playing never fails to be moving and fresh and vital. It is assuredly one of the loveliest per- formances of the year and it does | much to maintain for “Progessional” its qualities of beauty and excitement. | George Mathews is effective, too, as | Dynamite Jim, the worker who didn't {quite understand the meaning of things, but knew what side he was | on in a labor war. Mr. Mathews per- | haps lacks some of the inner strength that Mr. Abbott brought to the char- | acter, but he plays with the proper | force and vigor. In many ways those of us who were enthusiasts for “Pro- | cessional” from the start are bound to miss Donald MacDonald most of all. To the role of the newspaper man Mr. MacDonald brought a jauntiness and a dancing rnythm that were in- valuable to the mood of the play. It is only toward the end of the perform- ance that Fred Bael catches any of the property quality. S. Boonio, as the girl's father, tries hard to be & Philip Loeb, but the effort is a little beyond him. ll" YOU allow any such captious reservations to- keep you away from the revival of “Processional” you will be making a great mistal | Even in a worse production than t Federal Theater has provided some- thing of the distinguished and ex- citing quality of the play would as- suredly come through. For it obvi- ously is a work of enduring vitality, | odd, dynamic and fascinating, and it has aged neither in manner nor sub- ject matter. It seemed to me all the more fascinating, then, to find the New Masses proclaiming that the work “doesn’t come alive again at all. Far from it, it turns into a disheart- ening and discouraging mess which casts only discredit on the Federal Theater Project and Lawson. The sodden miner-hero, his loud-laughing | and empty-headed fellow strikers, the | pompous and directionless strike lead- er-au of these may have been moving | within the original frame of my and experimentalism, hut to- di are caricatures.” Here, I suspect, you W find much more about what is wrong with official Left Wing criticism these days than about Mr. Lawson. All that is wrong with “Processional,” you gather, is that its strikers are not perfect heroes, strong, beautiful, sober and filled with understanding of social problems. The New Masses reviewer might be | reminded that the action takes place in 1925 and that its heroes didn't have the inestimable advantage of 12 more years of reading his educational publication. My own impression is that there is more wrong with “Processional” than the lack of perfection in its heroes, although I happen to be enthusiastic about the play. The fact that it makes the West Virginia strikers of | 1925 ignorant and rather pizzled peo- ple, instead of conventional radical heroes, seems to me one of the great of Mr. Lawson's narrative. | virtues | te lcusans, da' or Bight. ednesday nights: sses. vight.
