BUY a Breeze and Save the Riddles

BUY a Breeze and Save the Riddles" ="
As a method of raising the wind the
Buy a Breeze" movement, which start
| ed in today with 200 Of Washington's
prettiest and smartest girls at the
helm, Is a distinct success. These 200
charmers stood at the centers of traffic
and trade all over town today offering
| fans to the passersby for the benefit
of Camp Good Will, Camp Pleasant and
| the Baby Hospital, which, as every
one knows, are the places where the
poor babies go when people are gen.
erous and support the Associated
Charities in this work.
Every man who dug into his Jeans to-
day and produced quarter for a fan
helped some little alley baby stay an
hour or two out in the grass and trees
and l>eeze Of one of those baby camps.
And Perhaps also 1t can be figured that
| every one who passed the girls without
buying a, fan was helping some baby
to stay a while longer in the heat of an
asphalt-plated alley.
Fans Sell Quickly.
There were 10000 fans to sell early
this morning when Mrs. Edwin 8.
Seton. the author Of the buy breeze
and-be-a- baby-fan'' slogan, opened the
doors of the fan headquarters at 14os
H street. Before noon Mrs. Seton was
sending out the widest apl-~als for
more fans. and by night tho 10000 will
have been scattered to the winds, to
raise breezes for the buyers. and make
soft and cozy beds for hundreds OF
kiddies at the summer camps.
Later in the evening large and en-
thusiastic army of fan sellers in auto
mobiles intends to descend upon Glen
Echo and make every one there take a
fan for the cause.
The 200 young women were marshall
ed early in the day and assigned to
long before most Of them sent in ap-
peals for more fans. Women who went
marketing found that every possible
avenue of approach to the Center mar
Men who stopped in their banks found
that a smiling young person in white,
with a box for money and a waste
basket full of fans. was there to take
some Of his coin.
Lunchroom Is Invaded.
Two hard-working women assailed .
prominent lunch place at the height of
its business shortly after noon today
and left forest of waving fans. Two
young girls stood near a club door and
simply took money away from the
members as they entered.
Every department. the bureau Of en-
craving and printing and the govern
the girls. and the fact that this buy
a breeze" thing was inaugurated to-
day. the government pay day. is no
slight coincidence. On the word Of one
Of the young women. 1t has been
ernment pay as possible for the kid
dies. If there Is any left tomorrow,
there will be fresh consignment Of
fans waving at every busy street COR
ner to get little moro money for the
