There is at present a movement on
foot in the senior class in the college
to establish fund for sending a rep
resentative of the class as teacher for
one year at Yale-in-China. Such
funds have been raised by previous
classes, as in 1912 when the seniors
sent Sherwood S. Day to India for
three years. It has been customary
for two to four men to go out to
Changshq from each graduating class;
but owing to the unprecedentedly
large budget the committee this year
can send out no one-year men. At
least four men are needed from 1916
and if none at all are sent, the effect
will be disastrous for Yale-in China,
where at present rapid growth is alb
solutely demanded because of its great
popularity among the Chinese. To
send out no new men next fall, will
be to cripple Yale at moment Of
greater opportunity than ever before,
the removal of the school to its larger
new buildings. The amount to be
raised is about one thousand dollars.
Already a considerable amount has
been collected, and very little doubt is
sustained that the required funds will
be contributed.

As a result of the informal smoker
held Tuesday evening at the Taft,
over 100 new candidates have reported
for track. This raises the number of
men now on the University and Fresh
man squads to 235, with about half OF
this total made up of freshmen. The
squad is now the largest that has ever
been out in the history of track ath-
letics at Yale, and if the men brought
out by the call made at the smoker
report regularly from now on, the
prospects for both the Freshman and
University teams will be greatly i'm
proved. Outdoor practice started at
the Field, Wednesday, but Friday was
the first day the men were able to do
any real work The condition of the
track is gradually improving, and al
though the weather is still rather cold
the distance men and other runners
will hold regular practice from now
on. The hurdlers, pOle-valuters, and
jumpers will start work as soon as the
weather will permit. The spring meet
now woTking in preparation for this.
Seven men will also be entered in the

Over four hundred undergraduates
attended the informal smoker given
by the university track association
last Tuesday evening at the Hotel
Taft. Motion pictures of Life ait Yale
including the Harvard Yale Dual meet,
were shown at the beginning of the
meeting. The speakers were then
introduced by Manager A. H. Bunker,
who presided; the smoker was closed
with motion pictures of last year s
intercollegiate meet. In his opening
address Captain Oler emphasized the
need of candidates, and the possibil-
tiles of a championship team. A. G..

A new constitution for the Yale
Dining Hall was adopted this week by
a committee consisting of represen-
tative from each table. The principle
difference between the old and the
new constitutions is in regard to the
method of electing officers. Under the
former system the president was cleo
ted by a committee consisting OF a
representative from each table, and
the vice-president and secretary We're
appointed by the president. The new
constitution provides for a system
electing all the officers by the direct
vote of every member of the Dining
Hall. The old constitution was adopt
ed in 1904 and has since then grown
obsolete. A committee was appoint
ed last fall to remodel it, but an in
vestigation showed that a new con-
stitution was necessary. The cOnsti-
tuition just adopted was drawn up and
ratified by the prudential committee at
the last meeting.

The first activities Of the University
lacrosse team commenced this week.
The first regular outdoor practice was
held Monday afternoon; a squad Of
twenty men reported to Coach Grove.
Eight of the men who played against
Harvard last year are in the lineup
again this year, and with the new ma
terial out a strong team should be de-
veloped The first game will be play
ed Saturday against the Gotham La
crosse club in New Haven. For this
game the small amount of practice
which the University team has had so
far will handicap the players consid-
erably. Daily practice of an hour and
a half will be held for the rest of the
week, however, so that the men may
be in the best possible shape by Sat
urday. Most of the other teams of
the intercollegiate league have also
been confined for the most part to in
door practice, but during the last few
days regular practice has been held
daily. The season has now opened al
though no important games will be
played until May. The Intercollegiate

BULLETINS SPECIAL YALE LETTER
Free Legal Aid Bureau Has Successful YearMovement
Establish Fund Send Representative of Senior Class
to Yale in China Teacher-Dean Brown to Take Uni
versity Church Passionate.

New Haven, April 18-The Free
Legal Aid bureau which was estab-
lished last November under the aus
pices of the Yale Law School COM
pleted Its years work Tuesday eve
ming with the election of officers for
the coming year. Carleton L. Marsh,
1917 L. S. was elected president. The
bureau has been consulted in IL cases
this year, five of which are as yet I'M
settled. Only one appearance in court
has been necessary. The bureau is
somewhat handicapped by the Con-
necticut law which allows no lawyer
not a regular member OF the Connec-
ticut bar, to appear in court. This,
of course eliminates the students. or
the eighteen cases, on which the bu-
reau was consulted, it acted for the
plaintiff in eleven and for the defend
ant in seven cases. Four cases or
contract were undertaken, one under
the workmen's compensation act, one
summary process, one appncaHlon Ior
pardon, two applications for release
from asylum, one attachment, one case
of insurance, one mortgage, two cases
of personal injury, two wills, and one
case of separate support. Five cases
are as yet unsettled and one appear
ance in court has been made before a
Justice of the peace. This first sea-
son of the Legal Aid bureau, while not
quite coming up to the expectations OF
it's organizers, has nevertheless been
q success. In starting an enterprise
of this kind it is necessary to get the
confidence of the townspeople before
it can become a success, and this the
bureau has been trying to do with en-
couTaging results. Before undeTb Ak
ing any case, the bureau has made
sure that it's client is deserving of the
free aid. This policy of helping only
the deserving APPLICANTS, while DIM
| inishing tn number of cases under
taken, has increased the prestige OF
the bureau. The bureau was formed
| last fall by the students, faculty, and
alumni of the Yale Law school. All
members of the Law School who have
| completed eight hours of law work.
| together with a limited number OF
| graduates are eligible for membership.
| AS stated in its constitution The
| object and purpose of this bureau shall
be to render legal aid and assistance
| to all persons or associations who, by
reason of financial embarrassment, or
for any other reason, may appear
worthy thereof"

To Extinouish Gasoline Fire.

Experiments recently carried out by
British fire prevention committee
show that the best way to extlngulsh
small gasoline fire is 10 spread over
the burning liquid a mixture Of ten
pounds Of bicarbonate of soda and
twelve pounds Of common sawdust.
The sawdust need not be wet but must
be free from chips and shavings. The
theory is that the sawdust. by floating
on the burning liquid, excludes the oxy-
gen of the air, and the heat OF the
flame generates cnrbonic acid gus,
which helps extingulsh the fire. Saw
dust alone gives satisfactory results,
better than sand or similar materials.
