and magazines by children of the pub
lie schools of the District of Columbia

begun today 1t is hoped by those in
charge that this week the amount of
old papers brought in will be much
larger than that of last week.
With nearly $1,000 added to the fund
since the plan suggested by The Star
was first put into operation, those in
terested in seeing the fund greatly in
creased are asking the question: How
much will be raised this week." SO
Tar the amounts of papers brought in
have averaged about $50 worth a day
The papers are being collected by the
children IN every conceivable way. The
majority of the youngsters are carry
ing them by armfuls, some are using
small express wagons and baskets and
others are conveying them de luxe"
or. more specifically. by automobiles
One adult who wished to contribute
ms bit to the fund called the nearest
schooi to his home and told them he
had some papers. The principal said
she would send a boy for them
y" hen the boy arrived he found that
there were about 200 pounds of papers
IN sixth floor apartment. This was
too much of job for a young man of
even his ambitions, SO he left, .promis-
ing TO return the following morning
better prepared
He kept his promise. driving UP the
next day in large touring car He
went to the apartment, and. to the
great delight of the youngsters ac-
companying him, dropped the papers
out in neatly tied packages Each

Dreams.

l hope some day to write a
song that will astonish all the
throng on this old planet groping !;
but meanwhile, since l have to
buy the children lids and shoes
and pie, I'll take it out in hoping.
often think if l had time to put
my best into a rhyme, John Mil
ton would look faded. but writing
doggerel that pays takes up the
passing hours and days, and keeps
me worn and jaded. don't sup
pose I'll ever pen the ode that will
astonish men, and bring me
Shakespeare's laurels, and as Of
old my ink shall flow, eNpound-
ing lessons all men know, and
bargain counter morals. But
when all day I've lyred and lyred,
until I'm frazzled out and tired,
it's pleasant to sit dreaming of
that far day when | shall write
an ode so full of force and light,
the critics will be screaming.
And thus your dream is soothing
you, though you may know 1t
won't come true, this side the
river Jordan: it's good to have
some kind of goal; and so, for
duds and grub and coal. you
struggle on accordin.

industrial preparedness is to patronize

regard women can play great and

patriotic preference for American-made

TAKE "SHOP EARLY"

Retail Merchants Open Christ
mas Campaign With Journey
to Country.
WASHINGTON STORES BUSY

Washington's shop early for Christ
mas" campaign was begun formally to-
day.
This was the date set by the Retail
Merchants Association through the
president of the organization, r. p.
Andrews. The formal opening was
marked in two ways by the association
today; first, with luncheon of the
committee, in charge at the CONNER
cial Club. and second, with booster
trolley trip" this afternoon by the
board of governors of the organization.
The trip includes Alexandria and Rock
vile.
The committee in charge of the shop
early" campaign this year is headed by
T. c. Dulin, who was responsible for
the beginning of the movement in
Washington, according to an official
statement given out by the association
today.
1t is pointed out that WashingtonianS
have had opportunity in the past to see
the numerous bad features attendant
upon putting off" their shopping until
the last minute. and 1t is hoped that
this year every one will do their buy
ing early, that these same difficulties
may be avoided. The fact that prices
may continue to soar is quoted rs ad-
ditional reason this year for early buy

anticipating these rising costs the
merchants have laid in goods now and
have placed them on sale at once in
order to give the public an opportunity
to meet their holiday requirements un-
der the most favorable and satisfying
circumstances possible" said Secretary
Charles J. Columbus today.
From now until Christmas day the
retail stores of Washington will ex-
p6rience a busy period.
The Indian summer and the election
excitement have, of course, left their
impress. but it is expected that things
will begin to hum now.
II am sure that the public has profit
ed sufficiently from the experiences of
the past to shop early for their Christ
