This is not going to be . weeks
campaign with red hot wind-up. It
is going to be a years campaign, or
perhaps two years' campaign. You
cannot save much by being thrifty
for week, but you can save q bar
rel full II you are thrifty for q year,
an that's what FRANK WANDER
LIP and DAN CALLAHAN are
working for.
l know one man who is going 10
stop spending dimes and turn in the
saving to the War Savings Stamps
/ know another who Is going to
drop . quarter in tn box every time
he shaves himself, and he has q
heavy beard
Every Washingtonian can save
something small. You get Il all back
with good interest and help lick the
Kaiser.
From L. MORGAN OTIS, 80
Twelfth street northwest. comes the
suggestion to start conscience
Club" to be composed Of old-time
boys who used. to hook apples,
prunes, and apricots from the store
Of the oldest retail grocer, Mr.. L. +.
LUSBY. Many prominent business
and professional men are eligible, II
they win only own up to it
We hear q lot about things being
done for the soldiers here every week
end, and a mighty fine thing it is.
But have any Of rs stopped 70
think about the lonesome young
woman who arrives here 10 take q
Government position?
No one seems to be breaking his
neck to make her feel at home, and
the hall room Is Just as unpromising
as Il was when Il started to be the
subject for jokesmiths many years
ago.
/ write this because HARRY G.
FISHER, Of the Continental Casual
ty Co., dropped into tell me that the
New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church Is making q big drive to
check up the young women who come
to town without friends. There VIII
be reception for ALL Young women
who want to attend at that fine old
church TONIGHT.
The YOUNG WOMAN'S CHRIS
TIAN ASSOCIATION reports that
TWO THOUSAND young women
have come to the city to take posi-
tions and look for homes within the
past few days.
One Of the crack Liberty loan pub
licity experts Is LA BERT ST. CLAIR
He has been aided considerably IN his
work by large red-haired boy from
Arkansas. MR.. st. CLAIR recently
sent him to the Was Department to
take something to the General Re
mount office. The boy was gone ex-
actly four hours and thirteen min
utes. although the errand should
have taken about ten minutes
When he I turned he had the letter
stijI in his hand and explained that
he could "ind no such ofheer as Gen-
eral Remount."
Il Is an office, not person.
Who remembers the old turntable
on East Capitol street?
What was the name Of the hrst
superintendent of the bathing beach ?
He kept guard over the boys with a
large oak paddle. into which many
holes were bored. Any boy who was
branded with that weapon Is likely
to have the marks yet.
What was that mans nameE
An example of what / call Lorg-
nette and Poodle Dog stuff Is easily
seen in the story told me today by
F. N. CHASE, of 1907 California
street northwest. MR.. CHASE said
he saw a large chugging twin-six
motor car burning gasolene for forty
minutes by the clock, standing on the
street, while the be-jeweled lady who
owned the car was inside q store
shopping. The chauffeur would not
turn off the gas.
Previous to entering the store the
bejeweled one had kissed her white
poodle on the nose, handed it gently
to . footman, and had engaged in a
conversation with a lounge-izard on
the sidewalk. Their topic was "the
necessity Of teaching the masses the
art of conservation"
Now what about that Rasolene
burning in a twin-six motor for
forty minutes?
Remember, Mrs. Lorgnette ".
Poodle, the words Of George Ade:
AIN uplifting, try to get under
Meath"
Special business Of the meeting
included reading the following:
Earl Goodwin, Esq, Washington
Times.
Dear Sir:
