HERE'S A GOOD BARGAIN
IN LIBERTY LOAN BONDS
Chance to Buy $500 Worth Of the
Securities and Aid French
Children at Same Time.

Is anybody hunting a liberty bond
bargain?
The Star knows where $500 worth of
such securities may be purchased at
advantage both to the buyer and to
a number OF French children who, how
ever proud they might be to know that
they are the present owners, have far
greater need of the cash.
At the liberty bell booth erected on
Pennsylvania avenue during the second
liberty loan" drive donations by Ameri-
can youngsters amounted to 5000 on
"children's day" OF that campaign. This
money was invested in liberty bonds.
which are now held by "the Fatherless
Children of France" the organization
which has done SO much work toward
supporting and educating French boys
and girls who have lost a father or
even both parents through the war.
The treasurer of the Washington
branch of this society. Miss Harriet
Winslow. announces that unless IT
finds a purchaser for the securities the
far-away orphans will receive only the
interest on them. If. however. the
citizen, the proceeds can be applied di-
rectly to the relief of the suffering
children in France. Prospective pur-
chasers should apply to Miss Winslow,
whose address is 1711 18th street north
west, for further information or to ac-
complish the transfer.
The sum Of s36.50 will keep child in
its mothers home for the period OF one
year Any subscriber for that amount
receives on request. the name and ad-
dress Of the one to whom the money
goes from the local treasurer, and the
child will receive the subscribers name
and address This $500 worth of bonds
when converted into cash. will take
care of eight such children for year.

Has Direct and Vital Bearing.

Fourth. this work has a direct and
vital bearing in ao osomplishing the pur-
poses Of the war. Napoleon has said
as three to one. Zach day the war
ring countries are spending more than
$1S0.0oe eco to SUPPLY what might be
called the material factors and forces.
This budget calls Tor devoting less than
one-third that sum among about one
half the soldiers IT the war, and this
not in one day. bu- il nine months.
Fifth. we believe that to carry out
the association program in the military
and prisoner Qf-w:yr camps will accom-
plish untold spiritual results. In all
history there has been greater op-
portunit! to serve men as Christ served
men than the on. presented by these
tens Of million men under arms and in
prison camps.

Economic Use of Funds.

Second. this sum is needed. because
there could be no more economical or
important use of funds. To secure S35.-
0000 means an expenditure of $3.50
per man. This stateEsat is in a sense
misleading. because y is proposed to
spend the disproportionate sum of near
ly SO on each American enlisted man.
Ten dollars is a very small amount to
devote to the welfare of an American
soldier or sailor " hen we consider the
range of the needs which are to be met.
Third, this money will help us full
fill our obligation to our allies. 1t has
become increasingly clear that in a
true sense the allies have been fight
ing not only for themselves. but also
for US. In entering the war we have
made their cause our cause. Their de-
feat would mean cur defeat.

Keep the home fires burning"

Keep the home fires burning"
This is the admonition contained on
hundreds of posters placed about the
city today by the Y. NJ. c. A. war fund
committee.
That slogan represents the primary
purpose of the campaign to raise
s150.OO0 in Washington next week to
be spent for the enlisted men here and
abroad. The s35.0O0,0o0 to be raised
next week throughout the country
marks a historic undertaking, for in
this war for the first time an effort is
being made to maintain as nearly as
possible the normal ties and habits of
homo life in the abnormal conditions
of camp life.
In a statement from John r. Mott, in
ternational Y. NJ. C. A. secretary and
member of the United States mission to
Russia, the inception Of the movement
for this fund and some of the reasons
1t is needed are outlined as follows
Highest Patriotism Dictates.
THE spirit of highest patriotism, the
dictates of soundest mil'' airy strategy
and the principles and spirit of Christ
himself combined to influence this sig
nificant decision. The reasons which
led men of large vision and of proved
wisdom and capacity to decide that this
sum be secured are the reasons which
should prompt every one to do all In
his power to insure the success of the
undertaking by sacrifcial gift, by con-
stant advocacy and by earnest work to
enlist the co-opers ton of others.

monious, ''G B. NJ" and a window grill
of the same material form harmonious
contrast with the granite. The interior
receives subdued light from the stained
art glass window in the rear, and the
heavy plate glass panels in the door. A
most unusual and very important fea-
ture of the construction is the mortise
and tenon jointing arrangement, which
was carried out with all joints, so that
when the roof stone was placed in posi-
tion it automatically locked the entire
building, rendering il both weather and
time proof.
The mausoleum, including the art glass
and bronze work, was designed especially
for Mr.. Milne, the granite being qusrried
by the Boutwell,, Milne & Varnum CO.,
of which the late George b. Milne was a
member, and the manufacturing done at
the Barclay Bros. plant. Valuable sug-
gestions from Mrs. Milne and V. f. Ayers
assisted William Barclay in
designing the structure.
To-day the memorial stands as one of
the first granite mausoleums in this part
Of the state and as a splendid illustration
of the possibilities of Barre granite for

The Height-Of-
Season Display

This display offers you
the latest and best Of the
seasons styles, just when
you want them. The ma
terials are of a good
weight wool, as t h e y
should be for comfortable
winter wear, and most of
the garments are inter-
lined.
When you consider the
style, which carries such con-
sentative lines, and the full
ness of sweep, you will realize
that you are paying hardly
any advance from former sea-
sons. And then you will real
ize that a garment cut on the
lines of this seasons style will
carry over into next season
and be of nearly as good style
as this.
In showing you Coats and
Suits, we standardize the
Wooltex and Printz-Beider-
man lines, and all other lines
must come up to that stand
ard.
We have many new designs
and values coming into the de-
partment every day now, and
will be for the next few
weeks.
