Dresden, July 20.—Ringing church bells is the occupation a girl student in one of the German universities has adopted as a means of plecing out her inadequate income. She also did factory work and mending until a gift from the students of Vassar col- to buy meal tickets for the students’ mess. Now she is able to devote more time to her studies. The stu- dents' messes give two hot meals a day at a cost in American money of two cents, but many of the women students cannot afford even this small | sum. Many girls are trying to live on only one hot meal a day, and conse- quently the number forced to leave the universities and high schools be- i cause of {llness {s very large. Fven the two hot meals provided in the messes fall far short of providing adequate nourishment. They contain no meat or fats of any sort, and are chiefly bolled vegetables and cereals.
