CALLED "SHOW-DOWN" DAY
FOR, THE LlBERTY,LOAN

credit for the suggestion.

reau Is to be posted. The slogan among
the employees is Spot the slackers.''
They propose to wake up to a sense of
duty those Conspicuous by their alb
sence." They wish to impress upon
them "of what use Is money, anyhow, if
we don't win this war"
Mr.. Meyer said today that the great
est patriotic demonstration he has wit
messed was given by the charwomen
and laborers. A special mass meeting
was held for them, at which they were
told that they could draw on the dis
bursting office for sufficient to make
first payment on a liberty bond The
disbursing office was besieged. Nine
thousand dollars worth of bonds were
bought, and these people, getting small
pay, have contracted to give 10 per cent
of their pay regularly, in installments,
on liberty bonds.
AS contrast picture: There is a man
in the Interior Department who gets a
salary of $500, who is paying only %
cents a week on a liberty bond His
office mates are asking him If he thinks
this is toy war.
