Lawrence Citizens Send Second Check To Britain
A $155 check, which was contributed by Lawrence people, has arrived in England according to Miss Catherine Werner, sister of Henry Werner, adviser of men.
The money will be used to buy clothing for bombed-out and destitute children, and air raid victims and is being distributed through the Liverpool Child Welfare association and the Birkenhead and Wirral In- valid Children's association.
Miss Werner, a resident of Liverpool and herself connected with the relief and casualty stations, writes as follows in a letter dated March 30.
"Much has happened since I last wrote and our eyes have been opened to the horrors of war, so that when your check for $155 arrived four days ago, gratitude flowed from my heart. That you should have added so quickly and generously to your previous gift overwhelms me.
"I shall have to let you know later into what channels I shall direct it. I have not to look far—there is much distress around me, and I know you won't mind how I use the money as long as I spend it to relieve the air-raid victims, young and old."
Elect Y.M. Heads On Second Try
Three new Y. M. C. A. officers were elected yesterday at the second Y. M. C. A. election, held because of the small number who voted on April 8.
Officers elected were Keith Martin, college junior, president; John Conard, college sophomore, vice-president; and Walker Butin, college freshman, secretary.
Y. W. C. A. officers for the next school year were voted into office at the election held Teusday before Easter vacation. They were Margaret Learned, college junior, president; Mary Helen Wilson, college junior, vice-president; Jean Brownlee, college sophomore, secretary; and Patty Riggs, college junior, treasurer.
This check is the second one to go from Lawrence to the relief of the British war sufferers. Shortly before Christmas a check for $160 was sent to Miss Werner.

Novel Sky Ad Meets Disaster
We are now taking the place of newspapers for advertising purposes on the Hill.
Eugene Nelson and Clarence Mongold, engineering students, hit upon the idea of hanging a sign between two kites and flying them over the campus to advertise the Engineering Exposition.
The sign, bearing the single word "Exposition" in large letters, was suspended between box kites, and flown from the tower beside the Electrical Engineering laboratory.
Unfortunately a sudden gust of wind proved too much for the string holding the kites, and they broke away. After a short flight they

Checks
Checks for $22.50 awaited advanced R.O.T.C. students this morning at the Military department's office and there was no need to post a notice of the fact on the bulletin board.
Although pay-day comes but once every quarter, the future officers were standing in line to receive their money this morning. Students taking the advanced course in the R.O.T.C. are paid 25 cents a day by the federal government.

The Lawrence fire department obligingly brought a ladder truck to the spot and released the kites.
Having a double is sure to mean double trouble --- as well as double fun!
