SACRIFICE NECKTIE TO WIN
Dean Hunt Thinks Each Mnn Could
Thus Contribute His DIt
TO Winning the War.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1o.-Dean
T. +. Hunt. of the University OF Call
fornia. believes that If all the men
would dispense with ncckties the al
lies would be wee bit closer to vic
tory. Let him present his own case:
or course, tieless brigade will
not win this war, but the idea OF uni
VerSal saving which underlies II is
essential. Is IL conservative to esti-
mate the use OF two ties per person
annually? a high school boy tells me
six are required. Is 1t conservative
to say that the average price of ties
is SO cents? There are 100000 males
in the United States over ten years Of
age. 1t would keep quite a number Of
belgian babies from starving, or 1t
would furnish 100000 overcoats for
our soldiers. The men AMI women who
now manufacture ties should. of course.
be engaged in making clothing for SOL
dicrs.
You and 1 will not help to win this
war il while we are saving 81 worth
OF wheat we are consuming So worth
OF gasoline; nor II when we arc saving

eolored shirts we spend 10 cents on
cigars. When the Lord balances our
account He will find us in red ink"
