"And people has the nerve to say she's
kind hearted too, Birsky," Zapp said.
81 don't suppose that woman wishes
them poor wounded soldiers nebich any
harm, Birsky but / bet she hopes the
war would last anyhow through the con-
cert seasons of 1861 and 1918.
Yes, Birsky, before these here war suf-
ferers' concerts was pulled off the only
chance such singer would got to figure
in the newspapers is in case the Board
of Health refused to pay any attention
to the complaints of the other tenants
in her apartment house and they carried
the matter to Magistrates Court"
"Sure l know" Birsky said. There's
many feller has sit through one of
these here benefit concerts thinking of

where's in France and has said to him.
self after all what is it so terrible that
a felIer should lose chotzig leg or an
arm. Am right or wrong?"
Listen, Birsky, you are talking now
from concerts" Zapp said, "aber the
time when you really begin to figure that
maybe if you'd stayed in the old country
you'd of been whole lot better off even

//T SEEN B. Sipkin this morning
getting out OF a new twin six,
Louis Birsky the real estater
said to Barnett Zapp the waist manu-
facturer. THAT feller goes from
pushcart to Packard in less than five
years"
'Less than two years, you mean,
Zapp said. what was the price ticket
business before the war started, Bir-
sky? And since then he's been working
day and night manufacturing tags for
Tag Days. He told me he could Of sold
twice as many tags if it wouldn't be
that it's so hard to get red ink for put
ting red crosses on EN-"
''The war amt been so bad that way,
Birsky said. '1t's done good deal to
make people give to charities"
"Wor charities" Zapp corrected.
Charities oder war charities" Bir-
sky said. whats the difference%
"There's a whole lot of difference"
Zapp replied. "a business man which
gives away his money to charity may
oser care a nickel whether the flood VIC
tins ever dry out or not, just so long
as the newspapers don't spell his name
so badly that his customers couldn't
recognize it, y'understand. At the same
time, Birsky, he's got the satisfaction Of
knowing that he amt helping out the
feller which caused the flood and who
has got plenty of money to assist the
flood victims if it wouldn't be that he is
saving it to buy dynamite for blowing
up more dams. Yes, Birsky, giving to
some war relief funds means relieving
them governments over in Europe from
the expense of caring for their wounded
soldiers and widows and orphans, SO
that they can use the money they ought
to spend that way in buying ammuni-
tion to make more wounded soldiers
and widows and orphans for the Amer
, cans to raise relief funds for"
'Well, anyhow, feller that gives
money for war charity is just so kind
hearted as a feller which gives money
to charity" Birsky said.
THAT depends on his intentions"
Zapp replied. There is some French
er-Americans and German-Americans
which has got pretty good idee that
war charity is matter of bookkeeping,
and you couldn't call it kind hearted ex-
actly if such feller would inclose with
his check letter saying: Gents: In
closed herewith please find check for
five hundred dollars for wounded SOL
diers. Would be obliged if you will
transfer the sum of $500 from ySur

"Them cigars was probably donated

donates merchandise to a war relief ba-
zaar, Birsky, he don't take it so par
ticular that it's good, up-to-date stuff.
When | was on the donation committee
of the Fifth Grand Annual Fair of the

wonders to get hundred decks of cards
out of Lurie the stationery jobber. I
even bought them from the sporting
goods booth myself at five dollars for
the lot, Birsky, and every deck was per-

high spades and the joker. So you could
take it from me, Birsky, if some one
donates cigars to charity bazaar, if
they amt exactly fireproof they're any
how of slow burning construction, and
in trying to smoke boxful you could
take off couple pounds in weight

my time I've took chances at bazaars on

is too great and urgent TO permit
