everything from munitions to boots

Russia valued at s5,343,600. This
figure becomes all the more signifi-

The boosting parade held by the '. w C. A. financial campaign workers yesterday at noon was an unqualified success For one thing, it settled for ever the mo0ted question of Woman's ability to be on time, for it began and ended exactly as scheduled.

A. campaigns bear ing banners with such slogans as We only want $6.O00," Business is Good, and the banners of the various organi- cations followed the Indian School band. A company of Boy Scouts marched behind the machines and squad of young women and men fol- lowed on horseback.
