Y. W. Finance Campaign Is Based On Personal Pledge And Not Dues
Plan Tried Successfully For First Time Last Year Has Been Adopted
One hundred and fifty women of the Y. W. C. A. started this morning as one committee to raise $1500 for the association budget. Each member of the finance committee will ask six women to pledge themselves for a definite amount for the support of the local organization.
This plan was tried here last year for the first time, instead of the old plan of asking a membership fee, and it worked successfully.
The campaign began last night with a banquet for the working force, and $313.50 was pledged by the 125 women present. All pledges are to be turned in tomorrow night to Helen McKinney, chairman of the finance committee.

But Daddy Haworth Purchased Collection Worth Millions
Fifteen world-famous diamonds, valued at an incalculable amount, are on exhibit in replica in the Mineralogy Museum at Haworth Hall. The collection includes gems which have played a great part in the making of history, and the linking romances would fill volumes.
Prof. Erasmus Haworth refused to say what the value of the glass models would be, were they genuine. "Their value would be incalculable," he said. "The Cullinan diamond in particular is practically priceless. We have no possible way of determining the value of most of these stones, for they are of such unusual size and fineness that their cutting to a compound order to fix six standard values of value." However, he admitted that a conservative estimate of their value might be placed around the five million mark.
The Cullinan is by far the largest "stone" in the collection, the Museum's model of it being in the uncut stage. It would make a good paperweight, weighing 3025 carats, or over one and one-third pound. It could be found in the collection having been discovered in the Transval in 1905. It was purchased for the Transval government for the small sum of one million dollars, and presented to King Edward VII of England, who had it cut into a number of smaller pieces, several of which are now known diamonds. It is a perfect stone, absolutely flawless, and is aara avia in the world of diamonds.
The Museum's second largest model is that of the thimble-shaped Great Mogul, the earliest diamond of which historians tell us that can now be identified. They wrote of it as early as 1665, at which time it weighed 787 carats and our current cut was 280 carats. The Orloff and the famous Koh-i-noor, also numbered in the Haworth Hall collection, are supposed to be fragments of the original Great Mogul. The Orloff has had a romantic career, having been stolen by a French soldier from the eye of an idol in a Brahmin temple, and bought by Count Orloff after being stolen several more times. He presented it to Empress Catherine II of Russia. It remains among Russian jewels, and one of the Koh-i-noor of which are two models, one before and one after cutting, was presented to Queen Victoria of England by the British East India Company, and weighs 186 carats.
It is the French stones, the Sancy and the Regent, which have had perhaps the most spectacular histories. Both passed through the French Revolution. The property of various nobles, including Charles the Bold, Queen Elizabeth, Mazarin, Louis XIV, and others. The Regent was among the crown jewels at the time of the Revolution, and after recovering after many adventures.
Another interesting jewel is the blue Hope diamond, which is one of the mosted noted "bad luck" gems. It is at present in the United States, in the McLean collection, having passed through various cities, of its possessors suffered some dislaborably through the blight of its curse.

rich in intrigue, a stratagem, despoilment, and bloodshed. Practically all have paid for their brilliant splendor by a saffroning out of human lives. They had been killed by a kindly might, when no subject might possess a gem that outshine those of his sovereign. Hindu princes have sent their subjects into battle for the sake of a jewel, and Persian scheiters have carved human flesh in their hands, risked torture and certain death in pursuing their light hidden in heathen temples, and sea-captains have been slain by mutinous crews, who were also under the spell of the elusive sparkle of the king of gems. And all these monsters Haworth purchased in Denver this summer for the sum of $13.50.
The names by which the fifteen diamonds are known are as follows: Florentine, Regent, Polar Star, Blu diamond of Hope, Phape of Egypt, Koh-i-noor (two models), Piggot, Orcil, Great Mogul, Nassac, Star of the South, Shah of Persia, Sancy, and Cullinan.

Christian Co-operation With the Army Is Greatest Need In Europe Now
Taking this as his main theme, Hugo Wedell, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. addressed a gathering of men students in Myers Hall yesterday afternoon on the need for Christian co-operation with the army. He outlined briefly the work of the Army Y. M. C. A. in army camps and prison camps. The Y. M. C. A. is establishing universities in the prison camps, instructors being men in the camps. The Y. M. C. A. makes a home for them, where they may help in forms of amusements which will take their minds off the fighting. Here the men receive mail from home and stationery is provided. The association is bringing different speakers before the men who try to impress on them the necessity of clean living.
The local Y. M. C. A. is planning a campaign to gain Christian men from the University to help in this work. Active discussion classes on some phase of Christianity in each fraternity is another plan. The program will be backed by every religious unit in Lawrence. The main idea

of the campaign is to get men interested in army work, for eighty percent of the men now engaged in Y. M. C. A. army work are subject to draft. Con Hoffman, formerly secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. is not doing work in Germany. Mr. Hoffman is between the United States and Germany. Mr. Hoffman was ordered to leave Germany. Recently, however, the German government has begged Mr. Hoffman to return and take full charge of the work.
