doubt that the Japanese are taking
steps to cut off the retreat of the

tails of an alleged daring scheme ol

it is in the interest of litigants, ju-
rors, witnesses and others having

view of the rapidly increasing pop.

ports.that they have successfully adop-
{ part Of the calendar chain plan for
helping along the Porto Rico Children g
Leogue fund.
We sent her report Of this plan be-
fore for your assistanCs in your efforts
to help In this same work.
This is the whole plan. Cut this out
and give it to your friends and ask
them to help you. As Elsie I ost 8
letter shows. she has changed this plan
q little to simplify it.
You may do either way. AS there
are twelve months in the year. you
must FIRST find twelve persons who will
give an equal amount, say one dollar
each, toward the fund you are raising.
Each person of this number of twel-
We must give the starter of the plan q
dollar, and th. n find four persons, be-
cause there are four weeks in a moth.
TO give seventy FIVE cents each to the
fund. who, in turn. must each find
seven persons, as thave are seven days
in q week, who will give fifty cents
each.
Because there are twenty-four hours
in a day, these seven persons much
each find twenty-four persons to give
q quarter each, who. in turn must
find. because there are sixty minutes
in an hour, sixty persons to each give
q dime.
The sixty dime contributors must. in
turn, find sixty nickel contributors.
because there are sixty seconds in an
hour. This ends the chain.
The money raised in this way is to
be sent directly to the Children Is
League Aid Society. care of Bishop
Blenk, in San Juan, Porto Rico. where
it is greatly needed now. to help make
it possible for the government. the
church. and the schools to take proper
care of the poverty and sick
children and adults. many of whom
are so poor that they cannot 60 out
of doors for wait of clothes to cover
them.
Many of them think themselves for
tunate if they have one meal day.
In all this you can help. and the Aid
Society s committee in Porto Rico has
arranged to have your funds received
for the present.
Remember. all of you. that Aunt
Dorothy does not receive contributions
herself
Read the coupon for membership
application and the instructions very
carefolly. and you will see that she
simply guides you. and adds to your
pleasure and happiness through this
page and its gifts. which you. in turn.
pass on to others such kindness as is
shown you.
Aunt Dorothy hopes that all the
children who know her. and all who
want to know her. and work with us.
will help bring quick and full retnrn
to her call for help for the little fuffer-
ing ones onEhis beautiful island. where
nothing but happines should touch the
lives of these little ones, of whom We
mean to tell you from week to week.
although they are nearly 1900 miles
away from you. They are very anxious
to hear about their American friends.
Yours sicerely,
