Financial Status Now Secure: Success Due Chiefly to Work of Solicitors. Latest returns from tho Emerald cam- j paign show that 40S new subscriptions ; were obtained during the two days of: the drive, Oct. 30 and 31. This total ex- j reeds the expectations of the committee ! „ and assures the financial status of the Emerald for the coming year. As a result of the drive girls groups an the campus have the following suh seription percentage: Delta Delta Delta—200 per cent. Delta Gamma—150 per cent. Pi Beta Phi-—150 per cent Kappa Alpha Theta—150 per cent. Gamma Phi—110 per cent. Alpha Thi—100 per cent Kappa Kappa Gamma—100 per cent. Chi Omega—100 per cent. Hendricks Hall—00 per cent. These results were taken from houses having a membership of from 15 to 30 i girls with the exception of ^Hendricks' Hall, which has 127 girls. Every man in the S. A. T. C. is now entitled to an Emerald and many of the i men are sending it home too. The entire success of the campaign is t due to the solicitors appointed by the student council. They gave all of their , time to the cause and practically reach ed every student on the campus the first ■lav of the drive. V 1 The committee which handled the * town compaign brought in 75 of the new subscribers. This result is considered , especially creditable, owing to the fact that the people were harder to reach and t ‘ess interested than the students tliem telves. 4 CLASS ISSUES BULLETIN » __ Every University Man in Service to " Receive Publication.

A letter from Dr. Bertha Stuart, for merly director of the woman’s gymna sium, now engaged in war work in France, was received recently from Ly ons, France, by Mrs. Jane Thaeher, toil- j ing much of her work over there. Dr. Stuart especially expressed her appre ciation of the benefit derived from the funds received from ’>f!-s. Thnchev’s recital last spring. Enclosed in ^ier letter was a picture cf Paul Hillard. 115 years old, of Blois, France, one of the beneficiaries of Mr*. Thacher’s kindness, also a letter written by the little boy to Dr. Stuart express ing his appreciation to her for his trip to the seaside, where ho had regained his health. Dr. Stun; also spoke of visiting Dean Fox in Paris. Following are a f >w para graphs from her letter to Mrs. Thaeher: •‘I cannot tell y<m how much I ap preciate all the work that your concert meant. I am very much ashamed that all this time has gone by without my ac knowledging the money. It came in the hardest and most difficult time I have had over here. In fact. I am just begin ning to get over it. We had an epidemic of diarrhoea, followed by an epidemic of the so-ealkd Spanish grippe. Every child ill my summer home came down with it in two days; the place is fifteen kilome tres away, and it is dreadful to manage the children there and at Blois the same time. Favorite Youngster Dies. “One day I got a message that a child was dying; 1 got an army car and rushed out there and while I was working away with that one a message esme that our favorite youngster, who was n “bleeder," was bleeding to death. I got there as fast as I could and did everything I could; ho picked up and I thought was going to pull through, so I sent the .mother home to take care of the other children and 1 settled down beside him for the night. Soon the nurse came in and told me she had cooked me an egg and as 1 had not eaten all day, I went i into the next room to eat it; it wasn't! half down when the father called m» and, | my gracious, that youngster was dead. 1 >• ^couldn’t believe it. In a few minutes the; mother came back, and you can imagine ' the scene. It finished me, and I went j out in the old convent garden and wept j as I haven’t wept in many a year. “My vacation is not much from the standpoint of rest, for I have sat all , night in the crowded aisles of trains on ' the end of my suitcase and have con- 1 sunied so much dust and dirt. I am vis- j iting all the hospitals I can in two weeks where the re-education work is given to j the blesses. This is, of course, for the work I shall, malheureusement, have to , do when I get home. I have seen a lot | and learned a lot, and as I have visited I the work of the Children’s Bureau in vn- 1 rious places too, I have many new ideas for that work. Eager to Go to Evian , “On the way from Marseilles to Mont- j ■pelier I stopped off at Arles and saw , all the wonderful old Roman remains | there. I had planned to stop at Nimes , and Avignon t.oo, but time was too sc tree ( as 1 had to meet Dr. Lucas in Lyons at ! a stated time. I have 'been here three j days and am trying to get a permit to j go to Evian, where the convoys are j again coming through. I am so anxious ! to see. them that I hope to get it. The stories which Mr. Foster told of Evian * were what made me wild to get over here and work, and I did so hope to be ^ -- ' One Way To get glasses is to select a pair from a miscellaneous assortment and trust to “luck” for a fit.

Now, however, I am glad ! that I did not go. “I am also waiting /or .a pass, or re* | ther. a request which will get me the pass from Dr. Goldthwaite to go into the American army zone. It may be im possible just at this time, but Dr. Lu cas told me today that whenever it cann* to pick up and go, even if vacation time was up. "I have a scheme now which Dr. Lu cas is considering. 1 wish to organise the whole district cvf Loire-et-Cher, In which Rlois is situated, into a series of dispensaries so situated that every child will be able to reach one. Relief Money Soon Gone. "1 am sorry to say the money you sent was all gone in a week. ISO francs I spent on the family where the little hoy died. The remaining baby got sick, and the mother and father. They hiuf absolutely nothing in the house to eat. and nothing to pay the funeral expeusos and buy the nocessnry mourning. Neces sary to maintain the respect of the com munity; they would have gone without food rather than not have it. 250 went to send a child to an institution at the sea shore. He is four, the father is at war and the mother works, and this child had the most dreadful attacks of > asthma. He has been gone three weeks and has not had one. I had worked with him all winter, gotten him fat. and henl thy. but when summer came he just faded away until it got to the point where I thought, he would go if I did not get him out of there. 80 francs I gave to a woman whom I did not wish to work for three weeks, and that was the only way I had to keep her from it. 8he is a pretty frail little thing; she and hei baby had the grip nt the same time. I almost lost that baby, camped on the trail for a week and brought it through. In the midst of all tins she got word that her husband had been killed nt the front As soon as she heard that, she was bound to get up and work in the muni tions factory, which is very hard work. I gave her the 80 francs and kept her home. "I have done over .'100 tonsil and ade noid operations, and have had only three cases of hemorrhage which is a low per cent, but one of them came in that mess. The boy was eight, just a dear, and the only child of a mother whose husband had been killed three weeks before. If I had lost that child I would have taken the first train for Amerique.” GIRLS LOSE WAY IN FOG Reba Macklin and Madeline Slotboom Spend Night on Butte. Reba Macklin, a junior, and Madeline Slotboom, a sophomore, lost their way on Spencer’s Butte Sunday night in the fog and wandered aimlessly about until daybreak, when they came upon a farm house and telephoned their Delta Gam ma sorority sisters that they were safe. The message came just as a searching party of S. A. T. C. men, headed by Hen ry Eickoff, was about to leave the cam pus at 7:45 in two machines. The girls started out Sunday after noon about 2:30 to climb the butte. The ascent took longer than they had antici pated and they were just starting down the mountain side when a heavy fog rolled in and they lost track of the path. The night was cold, but the girls kept warm by walking as much as possible and nre today on the campus, attend ing classes, none the worse for their scare. A party of Delta Gammas went in search of the two girls Sunday night and would hove asked further aid, but the fog was so dense that they could see nothing and presumed that the girls had reached shelter.

The card index of all students is near ly completed which will provide a method of keeping accurate records of subscrip tions. Company A Moves Cots, Toothbrushes, Razors and Soap Two hundred and one cots in the new barracks have been filled. Two hundred { and one members of Company A moved their entire belongings, including soap and toothbrushes, to the barracks yes 'terday afternoon, and took up their res idence there. The men’s gymnasium, the women’s gymnasium, the Delta Tan house and the Kappa Sig house, have all been vacated for the present. Various rumors are afloat as >.o how they will he filled. The most persistent are that the pre-medic students will occupy the Delta Tau house, and that the old Phi Drlt house will be the homo of Orpheus, or, in plain United States, the residence of the band. The sages have not decided what will be done with the Kappa Sig house. Yesterday afternoon was moving day on a large scale. Small men. towering un der great loads of blankets, suitcases and books, endangered the lives of all luck less passerc-by. Some girls were at first attracted to the scene by curiosity, but soon decided that the personal risk was too great. Two hundred and one men, all moving their sole possessions at once, ' is likely to produce some discord. At the barracks themselves, the scene, for a time, resembled chaos. It was soon straightened out, and by five-thirty all Company A bad n fair ideH as to where they were to sleep, mid they all marched off to mess in a merry mood, The ground floor of the barracks is di vided into two large rooms, each holding one platoon. The itop floor consists of a large room, accommodating two platoons. Around on the walls, are fastened shelves to hold the books of the student - soldiers. The barracks are equipped with the regulation army cots, and were built from the model plans, furnished by the war department. MISS DINSDALE CAMPAIGNS Visiting Various Colleges in Interest of United War Work. Traveling over the state, visiting var ious colleges and Universities in the in terest of the United War Work drive, is the work of Miss Tirza Hinsdale, gen eral secretary of the University Y. W. C. A., who is acting as student secretary ! in this campaign. Miss Dinsdale took up her work in this capacity durng the second week of college, and it is expect ed by Dorothy Collier, acting genera! secretary, that she will not return to the campus for about three weeks.
