COLLEGE CLUB
 WILL GIVE RUMlNAGE SALE

The College club will have a Christmas rummage sale at the Stratford town hall in Stratford on next Saturday, December 4. The affair will be given for the benefit of the Students Loan Fund, which is one of the most praiseworthy items in the club program of work. The purpose of having such a fund Is to enable deserving and worthy high school graduates to go to college when, oth- erwise, they would be forced to give up their ambition because of lack of financial resources.
 Last year the College club proved its beneficial spirit by helping one boy to get to college, With the pro- ceedS Of the rummage sale 1t is hoped that there will be sufficient money to aid a number of students next Sep tember.
 The public is invited to contribute old clothes to the sale. The home of Mrs. A. H. Bullard, who is in charge of the sale, will be the first receiving station. but articles may also be left at the High school in charge of Miss Lucy Curtiss.
 The committee which ds aiding Mrs. Bullard is composed Of Mrs. Lucien Warner. Mrs. Henry Hincks. Mrs. Pierce V, Gahan, Mrs. J; H. Schaffer and Mrs, Nina StiIson,

WEAK ARCHES
 CAN BE CURED

Weak arches or weak ankles may be helped and strengthened if the trouble is not neglected too long, by proper exercise. The very first thing in the morning after getting out of bed you should practice the following exercises: Rise very slowly on your toes. holding this position for a min ute and then lowering yourself to your heels.
 Rest a minute and start the second exercise. Now throw your weight on your heels while you lift your toes from the floor. Do this every morn ing. beginning with 40 or 50 times and increasing the number until you can do it three or four hundred times without becoming very tired,
 These two troubles are not at ali hard to overcome in a young person and they can be done while one is dressing, If you take these simple exercises every day you will find in 8 months time that both the ankles and the arches have been greatly strengthened.

SIMMONS CLUB TO
 CONDUCT FOOD SALE
Proceeds to Go Towards College Endowment
 Fund

The Simmons Club of Fairfield County will hold sale of food ana Christmas gifts next Tuesday after noon. Dec. ', at the home of Mrs. William NothnagIe, at 379 Park place. Tea will be served.
 The proceeds of this sale will go to raise the Simmons College Endow- ment Fund toward it's goal of $3,O00,- 900 This Is the first time in the Is years of her existence that Simmons College has ever asked the public for money Until last year, when she had her first deficit the college has been sef-supporting, doing her big Work on the income from the original SI,- mons, with only a small further en- dowment of $250,000. The time has now come, when. without help, Sim mons cannot continue to grow or even hold her own in the work Of supply- ing the world with efficient self-sup- porting women. The college needs space and money for experimental work in new fields, new buildings to relieve the present congestion Of class rooms offices and laboratories, and to enable her to offer new courses such as short courses for married women who need help with their family problems.
 When Simmons opened her doors in 1902 with 14s students, the venture was hailed as something new in the Iand-a college to prepare women for self-maintenance. It was an inter- esting experiment and was watched for years thereafter. It expressed new ideal and 1t has made good the pioneer vocational college for women in the United States. 1t is to- day the third largest college for wom- en In America. In the year past, Simmons college gave instruction to 1765 students, and in all her eigh- teen years, to 5000 women, who are now living and working throughout fourty-four states of the Union. as well as in Brazil. Canada, China, England, France. Greece, Hawaii. Italy, Japan. Java. Mexico. the Phil ipptnes, Porto Rico and Russia.
 The nature of the work Of the col lege is by this time well understood. Simmons supplies industry with wom- en, we'll equipped for service. capable of adjustment. competent for execu- tive positions. The demand for &rads uates is more than double the Sup ply and the supply cannot be in- creased without a further endowment. Hence the campaign for a three mill lion dollar endowment.
