9-YEAR-OLD MISS
EXAMPLEFORA ALL

ranks OF the regular contributors to
The Washington Times Tobacco Fund
is little Miss Helen Plummer, of 361a
Tenth street northwest, who sent tc
The Times crisp 81 bill to buy
smokes for American soldiers in
| France.
After talking over with her father
W. H. Plummer, the question OF doing
something for the welfare OF the sol.
dierS who have gone overseas or who
are preparing to sail for France
Helen decided that The best thing she
could possibly do was to send smokes
to the boys "over there" Accordingly
she sat down today and wrote the
smokes editor q note, saying she In
tends to contribute O dollar a month
regularly as long As the fund IL con-
Quoted as her "bit" to provide solid
comfort for American soldiers without
American tobacco. The patriotism OF
this little mibs-Hslen is only nine
years old-ought to prove an incen
tive to other girls and boys OF her
age. More than that, IL ought to
make some older persons feel ashamed
to think they haven't contributed any
thing when a little girl, with all the
desires for pretty things that a
little girl can have, is willing to take
from her spending money each month
enough to make at least one soldier
happy who has gone to the trenches.
VIII Get Relies.
Helen's dollar will buy four packets
OF smokes a month for the boys "over
there" In each packet will be a post
card which the soldier who receives
her gift will use to thank her. She
will have an interesting collection Of
trench relics-postals from American
soldiers who are fighting in them
when the war Is ended.
