A Fund aising Success.

An example of effective concentrated
effort in the raising of funds has just
been afforded in this city in the case
Of the st. Aloysius Church school for
girls, the complete cost of which has
been provided in a ten-day campaign
by members of that parish. The sum
Of 800, 1000 was needed. Teams were or.
ganized and started to work after coach
ing in methods of address and persua-
sion. Originally the time limit was
eight days, but it was found necessary,
in the middle of the campaign, to ex-
tend it two days. Last night the last
doHar Of the fund was subscribed, with
in the ten-day period.
Whatever the purpose, fund raising
for charitable or educational or re-
ligious object is best accomplished
through organization. Enthusiasm plus
order makes for success. The public is
being importuned for subscriptions to
this, that and the other object, until So
licitors are continually appearing
Usually the fund desired is not fully
given because the interest of the bearers
of lists flags under refusals. 1t is en-
couraging, however, to find fund so
successfully solicited as in the present
ease. An example is set to all others
who may hereafter be enlisted in sim.
liar work. The members of these teams,
who were spurred on throughout the col.
lection period by spirit Of eompeti-

ton, are to be congratulated upon their
success, which not only assures an addi-
ton to Washington's educational equip
ment, but sets an inspiring standard of
enthusiastic enterprise for those of all
denominations and social and organiza-
tional connections to observe hereafter.

Perhaps the kaiser would be justified
in feeling a resentment against some

Numerous Membership.

Oh. people love to organize,
And meet and call the roll.
Some clubs are foolish; some are wise
And crafty the soul,
But each Of us belongs to one
Whose greatness none may snub.
Its list includes each mothers SON
The Wishihadn't Club.
The clown and serf both answer "Here"
When Fate bawls out their names.
The monarch grand, the studious seer,
The same distinction claims.
All mortal men are common kin.
And Pride his toe must stub,
And so initiate us in
The Wishihadn't Club.

two Gays, doing little but waiting and
listening to McAlpin's stories about

place. But Ise Spain, knowing Jeffries

McAlpin's suspicious.

Rats and Fires.

Aia4sa
At time when everyone Ii com
planning Of the high cost of living 1t
might be well to see if we cannot elm
mate two great sources of waste fires
and rats.
Most fires are needless. ALI rats
are so Some years ago a study Of the
rat problem in Philadelphia arrived OF
the conclusion that the rodents Of that
city ate more than a million dollars
worth of food each year. At that rate,
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than $100,O00OOO per year
to the whole country. This is a pref
ty high price to pay for the cOmpan-
ionship of impish pests which, besides
their other bad habits, undermine
floors and carry the most dreaded OF
all diseases, bubonic plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats In 1915-the last year for which
figures are at hand--the American
people paid out in premiums for fire
insurance $419,361, 346. Of this vast
sum at least three-fourths could be
saved by reducing our fire record to
the rate prevailing In England, France
or Germany; and even in our time and
nation S300000,000 per year is a say
Ing worth noting, and one which
would have perceptible effect on the
cost of living.

peared at the office door and seemed
to regard the situation with suspicion.
He looked at De Spain tentatively, as
if ready either for the discharge with
which he was daily threatened or for
renewal of his earlier, friendly rela-
tons with the man who had been
queer enough to make place for him.
De Spain set Bull down before him
in the stuffy little Office.
Bull" he began with apparent
frankness, II want to know how you
like your job"
Wiping his mouth guardedly with
his hand to play for time and as an
introduction to carefully worded re-
ply, Bull parted. "Mr. de Spain,
want to ask you just one question"
Go ahead. Bull"
Bull plunged promptly into the SUE
picion uppermost in his mind. HAS
that slat-eyed, fiat-headed, sun-sapped
sneak of a Scotchman been cOmplain-
ing of my work? That, Mr.. de Spain"
emphasized Bull, leaning forward, rs
what want to know first-is it fair
question:
Bull" returned De Spain with
corresponding and ceremonial emph0-
sis, "it is fair question between man

the desert to do with my sending for
you. And l add this because l know
you want to hear it: he. says he

"That man." persisted Bull, re-
enforced by the hearty tone and not
clearly catching the drift of the very
last words, drinks more liquor than

He must be some tank, Bull"
"And / don't hide it, Mr. de Spain"
You'd have to crawl under Music

On this point it was impossible to
get an expression from Bull. He felt
convinced that De Spain was press

nary to his discharge. mo matter"
interposed the latter, cutting Bulls
ramblings short, drop it, Bull. want
you to do something for me, and I'll

Bull nodded. 81 know It."

looking into her eyes. When he re.

and fears seemed mean and trivial. He
spoke only one word, but there was a
