striven to All every coin space in each
card. At the homes OF the wen-to-do all
cards were returned with the full amount
OF 80 enclosed, an appropriate coin oc-
cupying each space in the gummed caro-
made especially for the purpose.
Elated ct their success and hoping earn
estly that their collections would bring
them the prizes offered by the mer-
chants whose names have already been
printed, the collectors and their chaperons
were returned to the building Of the Sc
curity Trust and Safe Deposit Company
soon after the dispersal of the automo-
biles at Second ana Market streets. The
building presented busy scene. but OF
fees had been set apart especially Tor the
counting Of the receipts and It was be-
gun without delay.
Imediately after the dispersal Of the
automobiles, the First Infantry Band
which had been engaged by Pierre s. du-
Pont, was stationed before the Security
Trust building and during an hour or
more delighted a large crowd with an ex-
cellent concert. In the meanwhile. one
automobile after another returned with
the collectors from the various districts
who turned in their white bags marked
with the red cross. These were checked
by members Of the comittee Of one hum
dred having charge Of the collection and
were then turned over TO clerks Of the
Trust Company for sounting.
The first collector TO turn in his bag
was Alfred Bissell. Jr., a nephew OF Miss
Emily P. Bissell, president Of the Della
ware Anti-Tuberculosis Society. who took
the leading part In arranging for the col
lection. Alfred had charge Of the eighth
collection district in the Seventh ward,
which lies about Delaware avenue and
Rodney street.
In honor Of him as the first collector to
return, his bag was opened Immediately
and its contents counted. His collection
amounted 10 $3.50. Each collector was
given twenty-five houses. so that Alfred S
collection makes an average Of S118 for
each house in his district. Assuming that
such an average would be collected from
each Of the 5000 homes of the city, the
Red Cross Society will obtain something
like sls.so0 But the average Is high.
Returning collectors related many inter
estlng experiences, an atteating to th'
great interest displayed alike BY the rich
est and the poorest families in the splen
did campaign against consumption. a
every threshold the collectors met smiling
faces and welcoming words, and in ever
district they were given assistance by TN
fremen, the police and others in orde
that they might cover their assignment
with despatch.
