City Student in Germany Avoids Hitler Strife When Translation Is Muddled Miss Rosemary Ferguson Recalls That Query, if ‘Paralyzed’ Meant ‘Gleichshautung,’ Voiced Her View on Dictatorship. BY BEATRICE BURG AN Tin?*# Woman # Pace Editor “'T'HINK twice before you speak, ’ was Miss Rosemary’ Ferguson’s adX monition to herself last year while she was studying at the University of Leipzig in Germany. ‘ With Hitler and the political situation the inevitable topic of conversation,’’ she recalls, “I soon discovered that avoidance of the subject was the safest course for me to follow." Miss Ferguson, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. John B. Ferguson of Irvington, w’ent to the university in the summer of 1931 on a scholarship from the Institute of International Education. Since her return in August, she has been a member of the social service staff of the local public school system. I happened to be on m yway to Bavaria for a vacation when news of Hitler’s election plunged the country into pandemonium,” she said as

we lunched together. "Such excitement was new to me. but even its novelty failed to arouse in me a desire : of participation. I changed my vacation plans, and returned to the quiet of the professor's home where I I lived.’ Miss Ferguson, a graduate of Western college for I Women at Oxford, 0., enjoyed her experiences in the intimate circles of German families. She lived in dis- : ferent households, and several times exchanged her knowledge of English for her room and board. In one household there were six children, and the favorite recreatio nwas in the evening when the father read books aloud. Miss Frguson recalls: “I'd been there several days. One of the children asked his father after days of concentrated observation of me at meal time, ‘Why does Miss Ferguson keep her hands under the table when she isn't eating?’ He knew only the German custom of keeping one hand on the table, and didn't understand the American eti-J

quette,” Miss Ferguson said. * Polities Interest Students In the university Miss Ferguson noted the students’ ardor in matters of political affiliation. “While students here choose fraternities, in Germany affiliation with a political organization is the important action, she sad. “Each political faction has its uniform, and for a period it seemed every' day someone blossomed forth with some new insignia or uniform. ‘‘One of my favorite professors became involved in the political fra-

cas," she said. ‘‘He wrote a series of articles on Hitler and published them in one of the papers. His facts were based on Hitler's autobiography. The morning after the publication, his classroom was filled with uniformed students stamping, shouting and singing. Those affiliated With the Natoinal Socialist party were objecting; others were voicing their approval.” Miss Ferguson explained that the professor finally ordered students in the class to another room. University officials later refused him permission to teach students, except those w r ho werere studying with him for graduate degrees. This privilege in three weeks was revoked, and shortly he was imprisoned. Miss Ferguson visited him in jail and took him gifts of fruits. She has heard since her return that he has been releaves. “I imagine he has left the country," she said. Find Refuge in France When Miss Ferguson left the university most of the students were Nazi. “Any of them who had independent view's, were afraid to voice them,” she said. "Some staunch opponents who refused to concede their beliefs, left Germany to study in France." ‘‘Women are faced with the prospect of return to the fireside, and abandonment of their ambitions for professional careers." Miss Ferguson observed. “The movement is purely in masculine favor." One day in a discussion of the political situation, a student asked Miss Ferguson the English meaning of gleichshautung. She explained that “equalize” probably was the most literal translation. Another student inquired; “Do you mean paralyze?" He actually had in mind the idea of parellelism, w'hich he thought was implied by the word “equalize.” The class bell of dismissal rang lust as Miss Ferguson realized that “paralyze" exactly described her cohception of Hitler's influence on independent thought and action in the situation being discussed. “I was glad of missing the opportunity pf making myself clear.” she said. NATIONAL HEADS TO BE GUESTS Lloyd Claycomb, national president, and Bruce Mclntosh, national administrative secretary, of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, will be honor guests at the open house to be held by the chapter from 2 to 5 Sunday at the house at Butler university.

Penney Store Here Adds Proof of Ability of Man Put ‘On His Own’ as Boy Head of Nearly 1,500 Establishments Told by Father at Age of 8 to Provide Himself With Clothing. BY HELEN LINDSAY AN 8-year-old boy was called before his father many years ago. He was told that from that day on he must provide his own clothing. The lad looked in bewilderment at his ragged shoes, and wondered how he could replace them. But he never for a moment questioned the justice of his father's decision. The training of James Cash Penney, founder of almost 1,500 department stores, had left no room for such questions. Perhaps the father's strict training and discipline had merit.’ At any rate, from that day James C. Penney began to build a business ability that has made him a millionaire many times over. Thursday, the newest of the j. C. Penney stores, which is one of the largest chains in the United States, was opened in Indianapolis. It was an additional monu-

ment to the business ability of one of America's selfmade men. Mr. Penney settled that first economic need when he was a boy by buying, with pennies which he had saved, a small Berkshire pig. He followed the corn huskers on his father's land, gleaning ears of corn they had left behind. He had little trouble feeding his pig. Later he placed more pigs in the small sty which he was allowed to build in the back yard of the Penney home. When this venture was ended, he tried raising watermelons, at which he admits he was not very successful. u a Started Business in Shack WHEN young Penney was through school, he was hired as a clerk for a little more than $2 a month. After a series of other small jobs, he was able to open

the first of the chain of J. C. Penney stores in Kemmerer, Wyo.. a small mining town. The store was a small wooden shack, only 25x40 feet, called “The Golden Rule Store." A picture of it would provide an interesting comparison with the stores operated by Penney company today. Mr. Penney and his family lived in rooms over the store. Their furniture was made of wooden packing boxes by Mr. Penney. Mrs. Penney not only helped in the store, but built a shed at the rear of the shop, and finished a half story of the building, even to covering it with building paper. Seven years later there were seven stores in the chain. Today, thirty-one years later, they number almost 1,500. Mr. Penrrey’s life continues to be as colorful and different as it was in its financial beginning. On his famous estate, Emmadine farm, in New York state, he has a prize herd of Guernsey cattle. The walls of his office are covered not with the pictures of his stores, but with pictures of this pure bred stocks. In addition to this, he is sponsor of more than 1,000 twenty-acre farms in northern Florida. These have been cleared and provided with homes and other buildings. Farm equipment is rented to the farmers at cost and they are allowed to pay for the farms and buildings from earnings. The project is conducted on a community farming plan. u a a City Store Occupies Three Floors A TRAINING store was established early in the history of the Penney chain at Cumberland, Wyo. Here men interested in the stores could learn the business methods and ideals of the organization. If a man made good, he was sold a one-third interest in anew store and allowed to pay for it out of the store’s profits. The Indianapolis store has been opened in a part of the building formerly occupied by the Pettis Dry Goods Company. During the months in which it has been in preparation, the building has been completely redecorated. It is arranged with three floors of merchandise, divided into departments, well organized and easily located. On the second floor, various small shops have been V ranged for the convenience of customers. Infants’ clothing and toys a- grouped in “The Wee Shop.” Older girls will find their needs answered in a "Sister Shcp.” The attention of boys wi.l be attracted by “Tr '• e Island,” where, in a primitive island setting, boy's clothing is displayed.
