THERE'S A MAN IN OUR TOWN
Who has made lot of money in
his profession and has a very neat
/ income, and nothing much to spend
it for. Recently he volunteered, so
they say, to collect damages for a
woman who was severely, and almost
fatally injured, in an accident. The
woman was a P w. G., and was with
| out a salary for months, and will
| continue to be unable to earn any
| thing for a good while to come. Her
generous and gallant collector. who
was a personal friend of hers, they
say, made the modest charge of 20
per cent of the amount he collected.
OF course business is business, and
Yankee thrift is the supreme Ameri-
can virtue.
i Miss Marguerite Bullene received
orders this morning from the surgeon
general at Washington to report for
Red Cross duty at Camp Beauregard
Louisiana, at once. Miss Bullene will

to the womans committee at Wash
ington: Can you start a Salute the
Flag movement among the women
notice in our great patriotic parades
that sometimes when the flag passes,
the men salute or uncover. Sometimes
they do not. think that not only all
the men but all the women should
salute when the American flag goes
by"
Oh, fudgei A sacrifice is being made
by the Westover school of Connect
cut. The girl members of this fash
ionable establishment have taken the
pledge to eliminate all candy during
the school year.
J After figuring up the expenditure
for year. the girls came to the con-
clusion that a luxury which amounted
to hundreds of dollars, besides using
up sugar which should be conserved
was an extravaganza of which they
were ashamed
Several other fashionable schools
are considering the same sacrifice.
