when summer is on deck, and
there's no top or bottom to siz-

performance The Marseillaise" was
sung by the audience in honor of Mai

INCREASE Of INCOMES
AN AID TO LIBERTY LOAN
John Poole, in Plea for Liberal Sub
scriptions, Says Families Have
More Money.

Thousands of families throughout the
country, many in Washington. today
are producing incomes far greater than
ever before, and a considerable part of
this income should be available for sub
scriptions to the liberty loan, in the
opinion of John Poole. chairman of the
local liberty loan committee.
Since the United States entered the
war said Mr. Poole. there has been
an increased demand for labor of all
kinds. Thousands of girls and young
men and boys who before were not en-
ployed are now working for good
salaries.
Family Incomes Increased.
This means that in a family where
perhaps only the father was working
and supporting the family before. now
there is a daughter and son helping
to bring In more money 1t means that
the family as a unit has more money
than 1t did before, and that a consid-
cradle margin of this increased family
revenue could we'll be laid aside.
mo better use could be found for 1t
than to put 1t into liberty bonas. The
family which does so not only will be
aiding the country to win the war
the real paramount reason for subscrib-
ing to the liberty loan-but it will also
be investing money in securities that
pay per cent interest and have the
strongest backing in the world behind
them"
View of the Campaigners.
Campaigners for the liberty loan
pointed out today that while it has
been estimated that in recent years the
cost of living has gone UP 80 per cent.
the increase in the family income in
many cases, due to the war conditions
and demand for labor, has increased a
much higher percentage.
The case was cited of a family Of
FIVE persons. in which the family in
come had increased 80 per cent Before
the war only the father worked. Now
the father, two sons and a daughter
all are at work.
There is no good reason. it was point
ed out. why these families should not
save some of this increased income.
due to increased producing power of
the family. Yet many families. in
dividually and collectively, are spend

If the old first ward does not do
it will not be the fault of the West

fall. last night. in kidder Hall, S22
Goth street northwest, arranged for a
house-to-house liberty bond canvass
in the section over which it has juris
diction, formerly known as the first
ward.
1t also planned for big demon

Liberty Bond day. The celebration will
be held in the Circle Theater. 21o5

ginning at l pm. All members OF the
association are asked to attend and

J Edward Lewis and D. O'C. CAL
iaghan were named chairman and vice
chairman. respectively, of special
liberty loan committee. They were
given authority to select the other
members of the committee, which Will
arrange the details of the celebration
tomorrow and to conduct a house-to-
house canvass.
Reports made by several members
last night indicated that bonds are
being sold at a gratifying rate in the
West End, and that the Boy Scouts
have been no small factor in disposing
of the liberty certificates.
Corcoran Thorn of the general liberty
loan committee, who is member of the
association, made stirring address, in
which he said there would be cause for
disappointment if Washington did not
subscribe more than its S2o.0O0,00O
allotment and the nation more than the
$4,000, O0o. 900 called for. He pointed out
that Germany has just floated her
seventh loan of $4,000, 100000 and that
if this country fails on its second loan
it would be a sorry example of Ameri-
can spirit and patriotism.
The meeting was devoted almost en-
tirely to a discussion of liberty bonds,
the only business transacted being the
election of offifficerS.
