BOOTH OPENED FOR
RED CROSS SEALS
Campaign to Aid War on White
Plague Starts in
Earnest.

War on the white plague was start
ed today in real earnest. Nearly the
entire executive staff of the Newark
Anti-Tuberculosis Association made
the campaign conspicuous by their
presence at the booth in front of the
postoce building, where Newarkers
are invited to help the work by pur-
chasing Red Cross seals.
Never before have Ernest d.
Easton, secretary of the association;
his assistants and volunteer CO.
workers, made such elaborate ar
rangements to make a success of the
~seal-selling campaign. In addition
to the two volunteer saleswomen the
association has secured permission
from Postmaster Frank J.. Book to
give s-tereopticon views of the work
on the street. Miss Jane Swain and
Miss Emma Lehlbach volunteered to
take charge of the booth today.
A small panel in the door entrance
to the booth has been loosened. The
picture machine will be operated at
night from the inside and the views
thrown on a canvass four feet wide
at the south end of the postoce.
