has come from Miss Rouse. She has just
returned from Russia, where she visited
the Student Christian Movements of Pe-
trograd and Moscow.
have public meetings, but Miss Rouse met
the leaders and friends of the movement.
She says the Russian students are not at
present very much interested in philo-
sophical and religious theories, but are
longing. for a definite Christian message
to help solve their many difficulties.
In Vienna, she goes on to say, a Polish
woman student who has been doing Chris-
tian work in Cracow, is working among
the women refugee students from Lem-
berg and Cracow.
As for the’ work in London, a foyer has
been opened for the refugee students
from Belgium, of whom there are about
250, many of them Russians and Poles.
The letter is on the Federation Desk in
the Christian Association Library.
Sewing Committee.—Four donations to
the Sewing Committee of the Christian
Association have already come in. Two
more are expected. The donations al-

A. Richards, '18, is acting as secretary
to the committee. The sub-heads in the
halls are, Rockefeller,.M. Cordingly, ’18;
Merion, V. Frazier, '18; Pembroke West,
K. Cassellbury, ’17; Pembroke East, J.

The committee had its first meeting in
the Gymnasium on Monday evening, May
17th, at 7.15, when it began cutting out
the garments for summer sewing. The
cutting out will be continued every day
during the examinations from 12 until 1
o'clock.
The garments will then be distributed |
to all who are willing to make them dur- |
ing the summer. The committee hopes
that they will be brought back entirely
finished in order that they may be exhib-
ited early in the fall.
Bates’ Camp.—The Bates’ Camp Com-
mittee takes great pleasure in announc-
ing that Miss Virginia Deems, who is a
sister of Elsie Deems, 1910, is going to
run Bates’ House this summer. We are
very fortunate in securing her as we hear
from all sides that she is well qualified
for the position. We are looking forward
to a successful summer with Miss Deems
as manager, Miss Strohger as house-
keeper, and Rena Bixler, 1914, as assist-
ant. We owe very sincere thanks to all
who have contributed to the camp and
are happy to say that all the money is
either pledged or in our hands. There
are still three weeks for which we should
like more helpers. Will anyone who can
come or may be able to substitute
any time during the summer, please hand
her name to M. Dodd, 41 Rock? Every-
one who has signed up to go to camp is
asked to send Miss Deems a postal a
week before she is going, telling her
time of arrival. The address is:
Miss Virginia Deems,
112 Bath Avenue,
Long Branch, New Jersey

and the work is done for 12 cents a page.

ROCKEFELLER WINS COMPETITIVE
FIRE DRILLS
The new institution of competitive fire
drills has been won by Rockefeller Hall,
with H. Harris, 1917, as captain, while
Merion, under M. M. Chamberlain, was a
close second.” Two drills were held, one
in March and one during the past week.
The judges, Miss Watson I. Zeckwer and
Mr. Foley, came to each hall without any
warning and turned in the alarm. They
then timed the drill, though time alone
‘did not count, for they also took order,
quiet and correct costume into considera-
tion. Rockefeller is to be commended
particularly for its order and general effi-
ciency, while Merion showed great speed,
clearing the hall in 2 min. 30 sec. The
marking was done on the scale of 100,
Rockefeller winning 92 points and Merion
91. There was an entirely new system of
fire drills started this year, which have
| proved a great success. The time in
which a hall can be emptied is now less,
