SEEK $500 TODAY
Needed to Close the Campaign for S.
900 for Current Expenses-Tear1
Members Confident They Will Get IT.

Team D, Capt Allyn l.. Brown, was
the big performer on Thursday in the
T. NJ. c. A. short term canvass for
$1,000 for current expenses, turning in
$29f.50 for the days work and beat
ing its owE best previous record for
a day by over 500. Team G., Capt.
Shepard B. Palmer. with $40 for the
day, was also nicely ahead of anything
II had done previously in the canvass,
while Teams A and Z, which had done
some especially effective work Tues
Gay and Wednesday. eased eff a lit
Tie and showed figures oelow results OF
either of the first two days. On to-
tails. however, they still have a nice
lead on the other two teams and Team.
A, under President James L. Case as
captain, tops the list with Team B.
under ex-President Amos A. Brown
Thursday, the third day of the can
yass, was $1,114.50. bringing the grand
total up to $3,475.
This leaves the sum of $1,525 to be
secured today to bring the canvass to
a successful termination and means
that the workers have got to put in
some lively hustIing TO get around OIL
time to turn in their reports at the
supper table tonight. Thursday eve
ming the leaders expressed confidence
that they would get the needed
amount but how to do it in time was
the money that was worrying them,
for they felt that the money was there
all right if they could arrange to get
around after it. All that is needed IT,
bring in the $500 today is for the
people who subscribed last year to re-
new again for this year and the 81. 800
will be secured. That means that no
body can afford to hold back be-
cause they think the money is COM
ing in too easily. for if they haven't
been seen yet, they are one of those
who are needed to turn in the final
amount. The telephone will do much
of the work today it is likely, so as
to cover the list of names, and the
committee captains will be pleased if
some of the subscribers should take
it on themselves to telephone in with
out waiting to lbe called upon.

on Thursday evening at the associa-

In few weeks the beauty of the hat
gone, something left useless on the
hands.
More than anything else, women
should consider the appropriateness
of their selections. A wing will look
better after few weeks, than cheap
willow plume, a choux of velvet than
an inferior bunch of velvet flowers.
Get as good material as you can afford
and have it correspond and harmonic
with the clothing, consider carefully
where you will be apt to wear it and
you will not be apt to be indescreet.
1t is no disgrace to have to econo-
mize. Sensible women in every walk
in life are training themselves to do
so, but it is disgrace to be so weak
in judgment that your acts demands
sacrifices from the other members Of
the family. Many a mother has worn
cheap straw, restored as much as
possible each year, with liberal coat
| ings of shoe polish, that even little
daughters, who need nothing elaborate
over their sweet young faces-bless
them, to make them attractive, may
have what can be afforded for only
one. Many father has worn a rusty
suit or ragged underwear, that the
mother may have hat entirely un-
suited to her needs. | am not advo-

hats, | believe in them as much as
anyone, but only when they can be
worn properly.

women and girls running about bare

rage for doing that seems to be on the

thing to do with it remains 10 be seen.
Even the flimsy scarfs are a welcome
change. We believe in being Up to

but not in fadS. Have you not been
in the smaller towns and seen count
less numbers going about bare headed
and bare armed, even on the most
public streets? Have you not noticed
that the majority we're bold appearing
with heads built out to enormous size,
with cheap stuff for hair, which never
had anything in common with mem
bers of the animal Kingdom? Did
you note the difference between them
and those appropriately halted and

Of higher things-where physical
charms are not to be displayed to
street loafers, but saved for the delight
of the home circle, who rejoice in the
appropriateness for the setting of the

We do not wish to be understood as
