SILVER THINIBIASS.

The silver thimble" idea seems to
be spreading to America. We hear of
organization here and there urging wo-
men to give up old silver utensils or
iewelry rs contributions to war relief
funds
II is an idea imported from England.
An appeal of this sort was made there
last year Thimbles We're asked for
particularly. because almost every Eng
lish woman. no matter how poor she
may be, has "a silver thimble. Hun:
dreds OF thousands of women. particu-
larly of the middle and lower classes,
brought their thimbles. their worn sill
yer spoons. their old silver cuff links
and bracelets and other treasures, and
tossed them into the melting pot.
The orginators of the plan professed
great satisfaction over the results In
one year, from the proceeds of this sac.
rifice. they bought seven automobile
ambulances and five motor hospital
boats and contributed to various relief
funds for disabled soldiers. The silver
thirnble fund alone amounted to $751;
900.
So far as the figures are concerned.
iioNfNfls uO stllSibit AllltllCdll Il'tt Dt
greatly impressed by these results In
fact. To- any man or woman of genuine
business instincts. the procedure looks
rather silly.
II women want to melt UP treasured
trinkets and heirlooms for the sake OF
sentiment-if they want TO give things
that they love so that they may feel
they are making a real sacrifice--that
is fine. But it is certainly not justi.
fable on the score of business efficiency.
No thimble or spoon or bracelet, even
at the present price of silver. is worth
half so much when turned into bullion.
Melting up such articles is sheer econ
omic waste. In all such enterprises il
real effectiveness is wanted. the people
concerned had far better give real
money. They can better afford il, and
the proceeds will go much farther.
