The Red Cross finance committee

subject Of salaries which prompts II to
repeat Nmost emphatically that all the
officers and members of the committee
are volunteers who, besides subscrib-
ing money. are taking time from their
business to present the opportunity
afforded by the war service fund to
the people OF Washington.
No salaries are paid, except to cler-
ical assistants, stenographers, type
writer's. and bookkeepers. and even
much of the clerical work is done by
the volunteers, especially the women
OF the Red Cross organization. No
! commissions or percentages are paid
for subscriptions, and no paid collec-
tors are employed. Moreover, the
necessary administrative expenses for
clerical service, printing. postage, and
similar items (no rent being paid
since quarters are loanedD, are paid

cial gifts designed by the donors for
the purpose, according to Henry B.

MANY TONGUES USED
in FOOD CAMPAIGN
Women Asked in Dozen Languages
To Be Economical.

Thousands of American women are
asked by the new Food Administra-
ton to pledge themselves to "Sokhran-
enie pishtshi." Others are requested
to aid In "Conservacao dos Where's -
There is nothing mysterious about
this. Millions of American women ara
pledging themselves to a program OF
food saving, whether they write It
'Zachowanie pokarmu" or "conserva-
ton des WIRES" or Food Conserva-
tion." American women of foreign
birth are given an opportunity to be-
come members of the United States
Food Administration through the trans
Iation into eleven foreign languages
of the official housewives pledge card.
This work was completed yesterday
by the translators of the State De-
partment.
Figures of the last census show that
there are more than one and a half
million people of Russian birth in this
country; there are twenty-five thou
sand who were born in Spain; one and
a quarter million from Italy, fifty
nine thousand from Portugal and one
hundred and seventeen thousand from
Frace. More than half million como
from Sweden and four hundred thou
sand from Norway. There are two
and one half millions Of the German
born; almost half a million from
Hungary and one hundred thousand
former Greeks.
Cards are issued In each Of these
languages and also in Polish. These
translations will enable the foreign
born who have not yet acquired a

II only takes a day or so for Dan
Merriam to get a clean shirt soiled.
But the problem with Dan was to
get another shirt to wear while the
first one was being laundered. Well,
he was working in a laundry and 1t
was the easiest thing in. the world
to imagine that one of the fine silk
shirts which came through his hands
was his. He appropriated IS
silk one. Still he didn't have any
money yet to get the first one out
OF the WASH and the silk shirt got
dirty. So he swiped another and
when 1t got dirty he swiped a third.
BY this time the laundry boss was
convinced that he was not running
a clothing store and had Dan ar
rested. Ten dollars Is quite a price
to pay for a shirt, but this Is what
it cost Dan in Police Court for each
of the shirts he swiped.

ed it, but the rude person showed
Lew a ring he had received from

that 1t W. Lewis girl. Then Lew
