"And people has the nerve to say she's
kind hearted too, Birsky," Zapp said.
81 don't suppose that woman wishes

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-

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

Louis Birsky the real estater
said to Barnett Zapp the waist manu-
facturer. THAT teller goes from

years"
LESS than two years, you mean,
Zapp said. what was the price ticket

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, understand. At the same
time, Birsky, he's got the satisfaction Of
knowing that he amt helping out the
Teller 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-
ton to make more wounded soldiers
and widows and orphans for the Amer
, cans to raise relief funds for"
'Well, anyhow, Teller that gives
money for war charity is just so kind
hearted as a teller 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 teller would inclose with
his check letter saying: Gents: In

five hundred dollars for wounded SOL

So what could do? l took the cigars

"Them cigars was probably donated
by the makers" Zapp said. IF Teller
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
l. o. NJ. A., Birsky, l thought / done
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-
feet excepting for a couple of missing
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
principally around the cheeks"
even So" Birsky said, "a Teller
stands better show to get his moneys
worth by buying articles at bazaars as
by taking chances on things. bet in
my time I've took chances at bazaars on
everything from oitermobiles down to
pianos, and it's my opinion, Zapp, that
before the oitermobile company allows
the car to be put on exhibition at the ba-
zaar the donation committee has got to
execute surety company bond in twice
the amount of the list price of the car
