Pipin' Costs.

A colored preacher had just concluded
sermon on salvation Am Free and
announced that a collection would be
taken up for the benefit of the parson
and his family. A member of the con
gregation objected to the paradoxieal ma =
ture of the proceedings and received this
bit of negro logic in response:
"'Spose yo' was thirsty an come to a

Saving Pennies,

- ~ ---4 00vA2&8 1044xAOSs 4-s -9I
Two little CHIPS, 6 and I years old,
seemingly almost too youthful to be
patriotic, came In to the Red Cross
headquarters one day this week. with
pennies that finally found their way
into the voluntary contribution box
that is placed conspicuously near the
door, questioned as to how they hap
pened to have the pennies. they said
that they had earned them by doing
without sugar on their -porridge at
breakfast time. Every time that they
ate their breakfast food without
sugar. their mother gave them each q
penny. that they were saving for the
soldiers. The older Of the two u
led his q%uestioner that 1t was pretty
hard to go without sugar. cause he

RED HFID 10
No Foundation for Rumors,

Any concrete evidence that sweat
ers or other garments, made by the
Red Cross workers for soldiers, are
being sold to soldiers or others outside
the military life, would be most cor
daily welcomed at the northern divi-
sion headquarters.
I Scores or rumors reach the head
quarters every day. Attempts have
been made to trace these stories to
their source repeatedly but never has
"a fragment Of truth been discovered.
AS a rule the stories seem to start
when Mrs. Jones tells Mrs. Smith that
she has heard that soldiers are COM
PEELED to pay 910>for sweaters. Always
it is $40, no more and 10 less, and al
ways it is for a sweater. Smith meets
Mrs. Brown and tells her that Mrs.
Jones knows of a soldier who has paid
$40 for a sweater. Mrs. Brown tells
Mrs. White that Mrs. Jones has a let
ter from a soldier telling how he paid
$40 for sweater, and Mrs. White
which usually finds its way to Red
Cross headquarters, to the effect that
Mrs. Jones had q letter from her son
in France, announcing that he paid
$40 for a Red Cross sweater that Mrs.
Jones made for him. Sometimes for
variation tho story includes the fea-
ture of a IS bill sewed in the sweater
pocket.
Then when Red Cross workers at
tempt to trace back the story they are
up against q blank wall. Mrs. Jones
declares she never had q son or If she
had one that he is not in the service.
Probably she has forgotten absolutely
ever talking to Mrs. Smith. If she re-
members 1t, it is only that she read
somewhere that soldiers were buying
Red Cross sweaters and questioned
| F,,r<Lnr Il, rriI1S-~r k~(NI~oik xh1k oLz
don't remember ii she read that SOL
diers were actually paying. or If it
was a denial of the rumor that Red
Cross garments are being sold. that
she read.
1t seems the easiest thing in the
world to find a soldier who has paid
for a Red Cross sweater, but let an
investigator nee take the trail and
the soldier and he sweater vanish in
thin air. It is 8 to start such a sto-
ry, the hardest thing in the world 10
find a single fact in the rumor.
