welfare Of the boys "over there" must
have reflected that those left behind
owe them the solemn duty Of making
their spare hours cheerful.
Many Send Donations.
Accordingly many Washington citi-
zens sent contributions TO the fund.
Some Of the donations were made by
Pennsylvania visitors who had come
to the Capital to spend a few days.
Employees Of the Holmes bakery to-
day sent in Sll2O. Each quarter they
contributed will keep some American
soldier in smokes for many day
where he knows the supply is scarce
and there Is small likelihood OF his
ever getting q real American smoke
unless he borrows from pal" when
he finds that no friends on this side
have remembered him.
Today is the logical time to con-
tribute to The Washington Times To-
bacco Fund. A quarter. q dollar, or
more IL you can spare II, is small
item with you. but It will prove
godsend TO the soldier who n some
where in France" who is pining for
real American smoke.
