VALENTINES MADE
Of v. s. S. URGED
FOR ALL PATRIOTS

Thrift stamps as valentines IS the
latest idea in the local war savings
stamp campaign.
Washingtonians are urged to make
their valentines this year and use
thrift stamps for decorations. The
current issue Of the Washington
Booster" official organ OF the Wash
inEton Chamber Of Commerce, sug-
Eests the following verses TO be Sc
lected from for a message in the
sender's own handwriting. They are
by Tom" Grant, secretary OF the
local chamber.
Roses are red and violets are blue,
Lick thrift stamps and the Kaiser too.
No pictures, paints or laces fine
Adorn this thrift stamp valentine;
Ny love TO you with it send,
Right now 1t is our one best friend.
This thrift stamp symbolizes love
For you and all the nation.
Each one We buy tthey don't come
high.
Makes Wilhelm say, "DamnatiOu."
Since November first a bottle Of. booze
Costs as much as a pair of shoes.
I'd send both now, with love I trow,
But TO win the war, lets a thrift
stamp use.

MOST MAGNIFICENT"
SAYS BILLY OF ADDRESS

The first thing Billy did this morning
was TO come down to breakfast and
take up a paper and read the Presi-
dents message to Congress yesterday.
Ham and eggs were left untouched un-
til he had read IL through. Directly after
reading it he sent Bob Matthews out to
the waiting scribes with the following
statement:
1T was the most magnificent state
ment OF Americas position yet. II will
be warmly welcomed by every soldier
and sailor and by every man, woman
and child in the United States"
The Washington times., 1918-02-12
UNCLE SAM WRITES
ZOO MILLIONS IN
INSURANCE DAILY

Automatic insurance for soldiers.
sailors, marines. nurses, and others
in the military forces OF the United
States ceases at midnight tonight.
This is the last day upon which they
will be protected against injury or
death without voluntary action on
their part in taking out the insurance
which is offered them by the Govern
ment at a low rate.
Applications for insurance already
on file at the War Risk Insurance
Bureau total $4,000. This was up TO
the close of business last night and
the policies represent an aggregate
liability by the Government OF ~
zoe, 100000.
Just at present Uncle Sam is do
ing an insurance business in excess
of S2OO,OOO,OOO a day, the greatest
in the history of the world.
President Wilson is expected 10
sign a joint resolution Of Congress
late today extending the time Tor IN
surance applications to April l.. IN
der the law the time limit for appli-
cation expires 12O days after entry
into the service, and for all Of those
in when the law passed the time lin
it would expire today but for the
resolution of extension. This resolu-
tion, however, does not extend the
time OF automatic insurance, which
expires at midnight.
Last week was the biggest in the
history OF the Governments insur-
ance office, and the aggregate OF ap-
plications was enormous 1t Is eN-
pected that today's returns will run
the total OF applications well above
the 100000 mark, and this represents
only the applications on file. Hun
dreds OF thousands of others are in
the mails on their way here from
Europe, from the Pacific coast and
far-off Alaska.
