This box is tightly packed with one bag of
light smoking tobacco for cigarettes, one bag
of heavy smoking tobacco for pipe, two
packages of cigarette papers and one box of
matches.
The Army Girls Transport Tobacco Fund
is supported by voluntary contributions. So
if you have any spare pennies after you have
bought wool for the knitters, you can send
these on to % Pine Street-checks to be made
payable to Samuel rockingham, treasurer.
But man must have something besides
Smokes" to amuse him on that long journey
across the seas. SO the National League for
Women's Service has asked for books and mag
azines, puzzles and games. chewing gum and
candy. AS the result of this call there is
room at headquarters piled almost to the cell
ing already with packages which will be sent
to the transports.
Everything but the candy can be donated
"as is" but the candy sent can only be that
which is purchased by the league and guaran-
teed by it to be pure and undefiled," for we
are taking no chances these daysl

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,

Prohibitionists were in never so
strong a case in this country, and yet
they are willing to hinder the flow of
food to our armies and our allies in
order to force into the bill recognition
of their particular views.
Nothing hinders more the full real
ization of what we need-everybody act
ting together on the general lines that
have been worked out-than this obsti-
nate and personal insistence on my
cause" or my society"
Apply it to the army. If the prohibit
tionists refuse to go over the top only
when their mates have forsworn their
beer and wine, there would be mighty
slim chance of taking the German
trenches.
The meaning behind the govern
ment's effort to pull all the woman
power of the country together as a
branch of its Council of National De-
fence is that it may have this vast force
moving as body.
1t does not ask that any woman
throw down her particular luggage Of
ideas, forswear her particular views,
neglect her particular society; it asks
that so far as the war is concerned she
move solidly with all other women.
The whole thing in nutshell is this:
You may save every ounce of your
bread and every ounce of your energy,
but unless you mix with them the ounce
of cooperation your power will be, if not
entirely wasted, disastrously weakened.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-09-30

so that wool can be given to some one who can
use it and who has not the wherewithal with
which to purchase it for herself.
The finished garment should be sent to the
League Headquarters and it will be forward
ed directly to Camp Mills.
incidentally these garments will be very &C
ceptabe to the men while they are still in the
Long Island camp, for hundreds of them are
Southerners, with malarial tendencies. Even
the one cold spell which we have had has re-
suited in many cases Of colds and sore Threats,
and there have been two deaths from pneu-
monia.
So there must be no dilly-dallying over this
work-fnish the sweater first and send it
along, then start in on the muffler and wrist
lets. This is really clothing soldier while
he waits"
Another argument for immediate work. too,
is the fact that the price Of wool is constant
ly going up.
Entire nous, have heard it limited that if
women would abstain for while from knit
ting sweaters for themselves three or four
apiece, in different colors) there might be
more wool and cheaper wool for the army.
Maybe it wouldn't be bad idea for some
people to think this Overcome can do ones
bit by deriving ones self rose-pink sweater
when one has already one of Alice blue and
another of buttercup yellow, don't you think?
And there's another soldier made comfy
If you remember, the men who made up our
first expedtionary force were ordered to sea
at very short notice. Consequently there was
no opportunity for them to provide themselves
with tobacco or any other comforts for the
voyage. AS they marched aboard the trans
ports at "An Atlantic Port" not thousand
miles away, one of the transportation officers
overheard soldier remark to his neighbor:
"No tobacco and not allowed to go ashore
before sailing-a sea voyage with nothing to
smoke! What are we going to do?'
The officer realized what this meant, for he
had not always been in the transportation de-
partment. He repeated the remark to an army
girl, Miss Margaret Carson, daughter of Colo
mel Carson, superintendent of transportation.
Being member of the National League for
Women's Service, she started posthaste for
the League Headquarters, and astonished the
women on duty there with breathess request
for "all the money in the house"
She couldn't tell what she was going to do
with it, for the going away of the troops was
a profound secret, but she asked them to trust
her and ask no questions. They did it without
further parley, and she rushed out with $3.50
with which to buy the necessary Smokes"
But. alas this was but drop in the buck
ct! She next called on banker whom she
knew and asked him to stand sponsor for her
with the American Tobacco Company, and
from them she purchased at wholesale all that
she needed.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-09-30

her ounce of cooperation by thinking
and ordering ahead.
AS preachment it is obvious enough
but as a practice it is not so easy.
Since the war began we have seen
matters of the utmost Importance held
up again and again by refusal to do
team work-one reason for the refusal
being that somebody felt that his opin-
ion must prevail.
You cannot have full cooperation if
you are going to assume that you alone
possess omniscience.
If they who are responsible for get
ting ships into the water in the shortest
time and in largest numbers. insist
upon the individual view of what kind
of ships, or what kind of contract, or
what particular price, holding up every
thing in the vanity-for that is what
it comes to-of a personal judgment,
they are defeating democracy itself.
The railroads laid down the true CO.
operative plan in this emergency when
at the start they said: 'In all cases keep
the cars moving and settle the differ
ences of opinion afterward."
That is the democratic cooperative
slogan for this moment; not whether
you are right in believing that steel
ships are better than wooden ones, or
whether ten dollars or hundred dollars
is the proper price for steel plate.
1t is always possible to act in an
emergency, leaving an opening for the
after settlement of such question as
the price to be paid.
This acting together to bring about
the one all-important end of winning
the war is often in danger of being de-
layed wickedly by people who are not
willing that life itself should be saved
unless their cause is served.
They will give dying man drink
of water if he will promise that if he
lives he will vote for prohibition, and
refuse if he will not.
That is practically what we have seen
in the fight on the food bill.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-09-30

to the poor ."shut-n" who feels that everybody
in the great world outside the four walls OF
her bedchamber is doing bit" and she alone
is cut off from helping. Like the quality of
mercy" otis twice blessed, it blesseth him
that gives and him that takes"
Please don't get the idea, however, that be-
cause the room in Madison Avenue is already
filled with contributions there is no need for
further gifts. Don't forget that there are
twenty-five thousand men in the Rainbow Di-
vision alone to be supplied from that store
room!
Twenty-Five thousand men in this one diyis-
ion, too, to be made warm and comfortable by
our great army of knitters, and twenty-five
thousand men who must have Smokes"
And after this twenty-five thousand, nobody
knows how many thousand more to follow!
1t seems an endless task, doesn't it? But If
we realize what the untiring energy and per-
severance of our women have already accom-
pshed in all branches of war relief work, we
can safely predict that every Sammy will
leave these shores physically comfortable in
warm knitted garments and mentally cheerful
in the prospect of plenty of Smokes" and all
sorts of amusements for the long journey
Overseas"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-09-30

Luckily for the soldiers, the transports were
DELAYED twenty-four hours before sailing, and
when they finally steamed away every last
Sammy carried Smokes" enough to last him
the entire journey.
And you should see the grateful letters that
came back to Miss Carson from both the Off
GERS and men,
This was the beginning of IAN Army Girls
Transport Tobacco Fund" which has grown
so rapidly that it is practically a national in
stitution already. 1t has branches in all the
big cities, and army girls all over the country
are working for it like beavers.
This fund, | must explain, has no connec-
ton whatever with 1.-THE Suns" Tobacco Fund.
This is for the men in the trenches. AS the
Army Girls poster puts it:
"These Fighters are at least in action.
Think of iudctiOn on a crowded transport
without a smoke! Give our Fighters the
makings.' An Army Girl Smokes up the
Transports. Other funds Take the trenches
Every soldier who boards transport is
given a small white box with border of red
white and blue, the cover of which bears this
inscription:

dener have that would otherwise 60 to
waste. -,
These centres aim to do whatever the
producer wants done with his crop
sell it if ne wants to sell it; can it if ne
wants to can it, either for himself, for
selling or for relief work; exchange it
if he wants to exchange it; store it if
he wants to store it.
These food centres not only cooperate
with the producer, but with the market
men and all retail stores in green goods
and fruits. Late in the day the women
take off the market mans hands what
ever he has left.
What is working out is really one of
the greatest pieces of voluntary COM
munity cooperation that has yet been
seen in this or any other country.
Much of the readjustment which is
being asked of us at this moment by
war conditions will go a-begging if we
do not quickly understand the need of
nationwide cooperation.
Here is this matter of releasing mer
and equipment through reform of orr
old methods Of getting what we want
from the shop.
What this reform comes down to so
far as women are concerned is more
carefully regulating our ordering habits
and willingness to carry many little
things which we heretofore have had
carried for US. Unless we in spirit and
in practice cooperate in bringing about
this reform it must fall fiat
