TWO FACTORS LIMITDYE MANUFACTURE INAMERICA: STIEGUTZProfessor of Chemistry CitesLack of Necessary Capitalas Prohibitive.COl\IPETITION AT END OF WARNo Protective Tariff Makes It Impossible to Meet Low Prices andHigh Quality of Production.Except for the limitations of capital and the possibility of the war ending soon, American dyes could bemade to supply the serious shortagewhich exists today in the UnitedStates, according to Julius Stieglitz,professor of Chemistry. Dr. Stieglitzasserted, in an interview yesterday,that the crude material is availablenow but that it cannot be made intothe finished product at present."The manufacture. of dyes in America," said Prof. Stieglitz,. "would involve too much capital to justify theuncertain returns. The researchwork necessary before actual production could begin might last until theend of the present war in Europe.CCIn that case the lack of a protectiV'e tariff on American-made dyeswould allow the importation of German coloring matter that could besold in the United States much cheaper than the horne product. This facthas intimidated capital and withoutlarge preliminary expenditures 'weare unable to make our own dyestuffs.Blockade- Prevents.U As everyone doubtless knows, thefinished German dyes are at presentthe best. as well as the cheapest inthe world. But the importation ofGerman dyes has become impossiblebecause of the practical blockade ofGermany. To learn their factory'methods would require long researchand experimentation. This is 110t atall impossible to American chemistsbut it would require time and money."The crude material is availablenow in this country but the production of a finished dye is a long process without factories and apparatus.This would therefore not supply immediate demand and before the American factories could be built and commence actual production the warprobably . will be over. Then thehome factories would have to fightthe same competition as before thewar, as there is no tariff to protect-them, This is the reason for thescarcity of dyes in America'."FORMER UNIVERSITYPRESIDENT TO GIVESERl\ION TOMORROWThe Rev.

Blackstone 2591.SATURDAY, JANUARY 22. 1916.THE WOMEN'S CLUBS AND"DEl\IOCRACY rWith the present agitation forabolishing the women's clubs, thesesoeieties have become the target' forabuse and pernicious accusations.The very women, who a short timeago would have regarded any adversemention of the clubs as undeservedcriticism, are now crying for the expulsion of these groups from theUniversity. We hear talk of thedawn of a new era for college women, to be ushered in with the dedication of Ida Noyes haJI. Thosewho advocate the retirement of theclubs assume 'the heroic role of exponents of democracy. And yet itseems to 00 human 'nature to acceptsuch pretense on. faith.The worthier achievements of thewomen's clubs must not be disco"untedbecause of the accompanying evUssuch as the instances �here the s0-cieties have fostered an element 'ofSnobbishness. It is-unfair for themajority of members to suffer theexaggerated charges brought againstthe'" minority-usually by those una':'ware of the entire club situation.The vast benefits of ihe women'sclub system are apt to be disregarded in the light of the prevalent movement. We must not forget the advantages of mutual criticism and mutual help; we must not blind ourselves to the good to be derived froma commonalty of interests, be theyintellectual or social. In these clubs,as well as in the fraternIties, wefind a bond deeper than a mere sentiment of "goodfellowship"; there is amore fundamental tie, whether it passby the name of "clique" or "comradeship." It is the spirit of"Amicae usquae ad aras,"which counteracts possible evils of,the societies.And now a group of women areworking toward the extinction of theclubs. It is indeed a near-sightedconclusi�n to presume that the elimination of badges and superficial secrecy will obliterate the deeper clan instinct among undergraduate women.A club by any other name would possess the same vices and virtues; andeven though the external forms areabolished, the human tendency to associate with a sympathetic group willremain.THE RAIN DOW.

And pityinghimself, he turned and cursed theRanbow."As the second climbed upwards,unlike the first, he saw the gloriesof the Rainbow, but scorned them.They were trifles; they would sufficefor the less ambitious perhaps, thosewith more time at their disposal thanbe. Compared to the goal he aimedat, they were baubles of little value,and he must press 'on. After manysacrifices and much toil he came tothe end of the path and reached outfor the prize, sure of its award. Butjust as he was about to grasp it, thehand of a comrade from behind unperceived, reached over his shoulderand snatched it away. And, hatinghimself, he, too, turned and cursedthe Rainbow."As the third climbed the path andthe glories of the Rainbow shoneabout him, he reveled in them. HisJ!oal was not dimmed; he climbedsteadily. but not blindly, and at eachsep his soul drank in new wonders.When he came, as all must come, tothe end of the path, he found thePot of Gold waiting for him, and 10it was filled with the very gloriesthrough which he had passed, theglories of "laughter; and thought, andfriends.' And, wondering greatly, heturned and blessed the Rainbow."HOLD INTERSCHOLASTICON SATURDAY, JUNE 17Meet One Week Later Than Usual,- Owing to Twenty-fifth Anniversary Celebration.The 1916 Interscholastic will beheld Saturday afteroon, June 17, onStagg field.

February 25 has been set as thedate for the production of the fourMediaeval and Renaissance plays being given under the auspices of theEnglish department. The programwill be given in Mandel hall as acontribution to the nation-wide commemoration of the three-hundredthanniversary of Shakespeare's death.Faculty committees in charge of theaffair will be announced next week.The first play, "Sponsus," is a liturgical drama of the twelfth centuryand will be produced by Dr. J. LewisBrown, organist and choir master ofthe church of Our Lady of Sorrows,with the assistance of the boys ofhis choir. This performance, as faras it is known, _11 be the first inthis country. The final number onthe program 'will be an Elizabethanjig produced under the direction ofProf. MacClintock and Miss Hinman.The other two plays will' be "TheSecond Shepherd's Play" and "TheNice Wanton." Associate Profs.Boynton and Robertson are now selecting casts for the two by a seriesof preliminary trials. All parts willbe taken by University students.Has Been Seldom Produced."The Second Shepherd's Play" hasbeen shown only once or twice in theUnited States. "The Nice Wanton"is a' poignant little tragedy withswiftly moving action and much opportunity for clever' acting. Rehearsals for both plays will begin withina short time. The faculty coacheshave considered securing Mr. MauriceBrown, of the Chicago Little theater,as a professional coach.The story oJ "The Second Shepherd's Play" centers about the character of Mak, a funny sheep-stealer.He meets three shepherds and liesdown to sleep with them. In thenight he awakes, steals a lamb andcarries it ofr, to his home. There hiswife places the lamb in a cradle andthe two agree that, if the shepherdssUspect Mak, he and his wife willpretend that she has juSt hom achild and that the child is under thecover of the eradle.Then Mak returns to the shepherdsand lies. down with them. When theywake in the moming Mak has seemingly not left them although one ofthe lambs is missing. They have'reasons for suspicion, however, andthey take him home where they discover the plot. Mter tossing thesheep-stealer in a blanket they depart in good humor. -,Is Morality Play."The Nice Wanton" is, on � otherhand, something of a morality play.Xantippe, the doting mother, hasbrought up three children, two ofwhom have been thoroughly spoiled.Barnabus, the other child, has managed to acquire a good and virtUouscharacter in spite of home environments. Ishmael and DeInah leavehome.In the second part of the play, Delilah returns as an old, debased hag.Then there comes the news that awicked criminal is to be tried, andthe criminal is discovered to be Ishmael. But the good brother doeshis best for the two in their almosthopeless circumstances; and the_playends with a speech on morality byBarnabus.Green Cap Appears Monday.A. life of the late President Harperwill appear in the next issue of TheGreen Cap which will be on the campus Monday.

SAYS ATHLETICS SHOULDBE LOOKED UPON FROMEDUCATIONAL VIEWPOINTYale Alumni Weeldy Di8CU88e8 Pres-ent Situation at Old EIi-Prof._Corwin Upheld.The faculty athletic committee atYale is still facing the difficult problem of selecting a new coach whowill be able to put athletics at OdEli on a sane and sound basis. Therecent agitation against the extremespecialization' of athletic teams andthe professionalism difficulties hascaused much discussion in easterncollege publications.Commenting upon the situation, the"Yale Alumni Weekly" says:"For, we take it, two opposingviews are popularly held. Either undergraduate athletics are to be conducted for success in public performances, or for the part that theyshould play in the educational machinery of the colleges. The firstview is held not only by most of thenewspaper sporting editors, and thusby the great -majority of the sportfollowing general public, but by numerous college men themselves, towhom the annual public appearancesof their own college teams are apt tobe the chief interest which they retain in the doings of their instituton.To win these games becomes, to thisgroup, the chief, if not the single, endin view of a college athletic establishment; to lose them, the utmostdisgrace and disaster.Hence we find throughout the_country, the persistent inclination ofthis type of college graduate to beto assume the direction of student'sports, to recruit schoolboy athletesfor their colleges, to force the choiceof coaches, and to take � reinsrather generally out of the hands ofthe college faculties. No bette.r illustration of this could be given thanthe recent amazing episode reportedfrom a certain small college whereingraduates ordered both college deanand coach to a neighbOring metropolis to report to them on how a certain athletic. defeat was allowed tohappen.The Other-Poiat of View."The ,other point of view is to lookupon these sports as a legitimate andimpoItant part of the education ofthe undergraduates, the chief end ofwhieh is to .contribute to the character and physical well-being of thestudents, and the control of which,in all essential matters, should bein the hands of men who are acceptable to and responsible to the colIege faculties.'"This second position Prof. Corwintakes in his address and this position, we believe, will commend itselfto Yale men in their thinking on theirown college athletic problems. , Thelogical result Jpj'gbt well be for' Yaleto establish a department of studenthealth and athletics, over which aproperly .equipped graduate headmight work in conjunction with thefaculty and under faculty control, toget the most out of home sports andintercollegiate contests for the general undergraduate ·body. Might notsome such definite action cut the perplexing college-athletic Gordian knotfor Yale?"START NEW MAGAZINEFOR COLLEGE STUDENTS"Challenee" Enter« Field to PublishArticles en An Sides of AllSubjects.A new magazine for college students called "Challenge" has beenstarted in New York.

At the lastsession, however, no mention was imade of drill. and the authorities atthe university deemed themselves freeto consider and decide the question ofabolition which had been raised byinterested parties within and wthoutthe institution.All Sides Heard,A committee of seven members ofthe faculty held sessions extendingover a period of eight weeks, andreceived the representations of various societies, individuals and politicalparties who ranged themselves' forand against compulsory drill. In theend the members of the committeeissued their report, five favoring retention of drill, one urging abolitionand one believing the student shouldbe free to decide whether he wouldtake the course.The majority of the committee feltsure that compulsory drill is not afactor in encouraging militarism. Infact, it quoted figures to show thatmilitary training in universitiestends in some degree, to reduce thenumber of college men enlisting forservice in the army. This was attributed to an awakened sense of the seriousness of warfare. It was held, however, that the training tends to makethe college men an efficient unit inthe scheme of preparedness, and capable of rendering able service in theeventuality of war. They believedthe . disciplinary value of the traininghfgh, and agreed that improved posture, habits of promptness and neatness would "result from drill.
