DES MOINES WOMEN LAUNCH DRIVE
At a meeting held at the residence of Mrs. S. Joe Brown last Sunday afternoon plans were perfected for the launching of the Des Moines drive for the benefit of the girls' dormitory at Iowa City which is now in full blast; and in order that every individual and club in Des Moines might be given an opportunity to show their interest in our girls who are struggling for a higher education it was decided that the drive should not close until Monday, Sept. 1 at the Virginia picnic at Fraze park at or before which time all presidents and solicitors will be expected to report to either Mrs. George C. Young, secretary, or Mrs. Jessye E. McClain, treasurer, and at the close of the picnic program the result of the drive will be announced by Miss Mamie Diggs who is the president of the University Girls Club.
