Be Given to Penniless Stu
dents in Switzerland.

Official uniforms Of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association minus
the Blue Triangle, the Association in
sigma, will be worn next winter by
women students who have been strand
ed in Switzerland during the war and

ty to re-enter their native country, a
desire to finish their university courses
or hecause they have no family to
which to return, will remain there next
year.
Elizabeth NJ Clark, who has been in
Switzerland for ten years under the
World Student Christian Federation,
has appealed to the National Student
Committee of the Y. w. G. A. for cloth
ing for the 300 foreign women stu
dents in Switzerland. The scarcity of
clothing last year among these almost
refugee students made 1t necessary for
two girls to share one coat so that
only one could go to classes or 60 out
OF doors at time.
Four large packing cases of all
kinds of used clothing, save hats,
which is in good condition, have been
collected hastily from women college
students In the New England States,
Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Delaware by the Stu
dent Committee of the National Y. w.
G.. A. to be sent oven In response to
Miss Clark's appeal. This clothing will
be dyed, cleaned and made over in
Switzerland.
In addition to the clothing collected
from students in colleges nearest New
York a case of uniforms, which have
been turned in byY. w. G. A. secreta-
ries who did war work, and the official
gray uniform ulsters Is being sent. AS
uniforms are being turned in by war
workers they will be claimed by the
Student Committee, which will remove
the insignia and prepare the uniforms
so that they may be worn by these
women who have been forced by world
events to remain in Switzerland for
several years.

New York, Dec. 6.-Announcement that

of the long pending Southern Pacific oil

market.

Associated OIL. q Southern Pacific prop

Many other stocks were favorably af-
fected by the bulge In these issues, but
the advance lost much of its force be-
fore noon, when exchange on London
and Paris dropped to new points of dis
count.
During the intermediate period, the
market drifted without definite trend, the
collapse of exchange, fresh uncertainties
In the threatened coal famine and the
sure from the shorts.
Rallies of the last hour were featured
by motors and the principal food shares,
reinforced almost at tho end by the great
er strength of United States Steel and
violent advances in Mexican and Pan
American petroleums, the oils gaining five
points each. while general motors re-
trieved the better part of its severe loss.
Sales amounted to 1850, 900 shares.
There was no material change in the
local monetary situation. but heavy ex-
ports of gold to South and Central Amer
lean points were accepted as prelude
to an extensive outflow of the metal to
those countries.
Bond dealers reported a better demand
for investment issues. but this was not
apparent in the dealings on the exchange,
where heavy transactions in liberty and
victory bonds were again showing irregu-
larity.
Total sales (par value) aggregated $22.-
100000; old U. S. bonds were unchanged
