Tuesday morning and gave a very

stricken countries, Mr.. Handsaker
secured some very good moving pic
lures, showing the people both be-
fore and after receiving help. These
films we're shown at the Star theater
Tuesday afternoon and evening. At
Mr.. Handsaker's suggestion, a STU
dent body meeting was held in the
afternoon to decide whether we
wanted some part in saving these
starving children. 1t was decided
to hold smokeless smoker in the
near future, and to give the proceeds
to this relief work. A committee
was appointed by President Irwin
to carry out the details Of the plan.
Watch for future announcement as
to when this smoker will be given.

Actual Progress Is Slow
BY DICK SMITH.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
KANSAS CITY, April 13.-Fear of
damage to crops from floods and cold
weather has been relieved by q re-
turn to clear, warm weather In this
district. Swollen streams are subsid-
,, Ing and the snowstorm is western
Kansas earlier in the week did not
reach eastward to the fruit belt.
Some localities suffered from fresh
cts OF local character. bat the only
general effect has been a delay IN
spring plowing, due to condition OF
the ground. Three more days OF
warm weather will remedy this.
While conditions are on the up
grade in this section and confidence
is growing steadily. actual progress
Is slow. Retailers. particularly. are
complaining over the smallness of
the Easter trade. This has been due.
1t is thought, largely to the weather
conditions.
Prospects for fruit crops in the
Arkansas valley have not been 50
promising for. several seasons. The
wheat acreage in Kansas this year
will be far less than usual. Gasoline
was advanced another cent a gallon

By Special Leased Wire to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 13.-Under tho
momentum Of yesterdays heavy
transactions following the Treasury
announcement of 3h per cent rate
for its new short-term loan. and
Influenced again today by further
Improvement in foreign exchange and
the lowering of the Bank Of England
discount rate. the bond market went
ahead, carrying prices to new high
level.
This combination Of favorable de-
|, Is the dominant force behind the
movement of security prices.
Buying of the United States gov
ernment issues continued very large
and the volume of business In other
parts of the list. too. was equally
great.
The street was awaiting the Fed
eral Reserve Banks report of the
subscriptions to the new six months
Treasury certificates loan. When the
books have been closed. it is expected
that the issue will have been consid-
crably oversubscribed and the mar
ket in these certificates will be very
active.
French Exchange Higher.
The rise in French exchange for
a new top in 1922 found reflection in
the strength of French republic and
