Do not sleep on the ground. take
folding cots or construct something
that will lift you above the ground.
A lightweight blanket should be
used in place of a top sheet, and al

time. the girls OF the Aegis literary So
ciety OF 0rinnell College have decided
TO devote all their meetings for the
next MONTH to making clothes for the
children of che Belgian refugees.
This is no small undertaking for
group of girls. for they must sacrifice
great deal OF time. pleasure and money
Their society meets but once week
and plays a large part in the social
lives of the young women. To devote
this time to definite work OF this sort
means that they must abandon their
hall as a meeting place that the piano
or orchestra must make way for the
sewing machine and its accessories
and that consideration of material and
patterns take the place of the usual
literary or musical programs. More
over, the entire financial burden of the
undertaking Is to be borne by the
girls themselves. and this means the
elimination Of ices, flowers, connection
and all those things that may we'll be
considered necessary to an entirely
satisfactory afternoon.
