sion tables. Mrs. Marlin E. Olmsted,
commander of the division, thank
ed the mems teams for permitting
the women to enter the campaign.
Keep Americans Safe
And about the brave Americans
who are about to enter this terrible
war across the seas-God keep them
safe, and their wives and their fami-
lies; and bring them back to u.s."
The Board of Trade has rarely
heard such cheering as followed
Mrs. Olnsted's little talk.
There were so very many feature
stories told at to-day's luncheon that
several columns of the TELEGRAPH
would not hold them all,
Change Attitude
For instance, there was the manu-
facturer who yesterday refused to
give a penny to the Fed Cross and
refused to allow solicitors to go
through his plant. The contributions
reported to-day included a very
handsome one from this manufac-
turer.
The contributions also included
SO from Harrisburg Review, No.
257, Women's Benefit Association of
Maccabees.
George Reinoehl's division to-day
placed collectors at every entrance
of the Square. In their little tin
boxes these men collected $136.33
between s o'clock and noon.
viii Help Again
Mrs. John Y. Boyd made a very
pretty little speech in which she
thanked the men for including the
women in the campaign for the
500, 900.
And" she concluded, 81 want to
assure you that If you will ask us
again we'll be very glad to come
back"
Captain Pass reported that one of
his contributors would give the Red
Cross the interest on a $1,000 bond
in the Liberty Loan so long as the
Red Cross needed 1t.
Captain Pass also reported that
Bernard Schmidt. a we'll known citi-
zen, who has relatives in the German
army and whose three sons have
offered themselves for service in the
United States Army, gave 1925 to
the Harrisburg fund in addition to
the sum he gave the Steelton fund.
Would Worry Kaiser
IF the kaiser knew what our good
friends like Bernard Schmidt are do
in" said Captain Pass, he'd open
his eyes"
Captain Herman's team reported a
contribution of nearly $3.50 from en-
ployes of the Harrisburg Railways
Company.
w. T. Hildrup Jr.. announced con-
tribution of $4,000 from the Harris
burg Pipe and Pipe Bending Works.
Mr.. Hildrup congratulated the teams
on their very successful efforts.
Harrisburg is on the main high
way to success" he said. About
fourteen years ago we put on new
tires. burned the. cylinders free of
carbon. got in a new supply of gas
and oil, had the entire machine over
hauled. and now we are travelling on
high. And that's the way we must
keep travelling"
Suburbs Do Well
Spencer C. Gilbert spoke on behalf
of the auxiliary teams. which did so
well in the nearby towns. He asked
that the cooperation shown during 6
the last week be continued.
Perhaps we have been living and
working in too narrow a groove" he
said. 1--WE must broaden out-and at
the same time stay close together
each for each. and each for ALL"
Congratulations were extended Vic
tor Leeoq III on the success of the
campaign. which has been under his
direction. Mr.. Lecoq. who is a bond
| salesman for Brown Brothers and
Company. Philadelphia, has been hard
