In LOAN CAMPAIGN

The Liberty Loan campaign, which is
to open September %, offers an oppo.
tunity 20 a number Of sienographers
for patriotic service In helping 10 win
the war. Beginning next Tuesday head
quarters for the committee Will be
opened in the Church building, Tenth
and Market streets and the prclimin-
airy work viii be started in earnest.
This will involve a great deal Of letter
writing and clerical work which will
Increase In amount as the campaign pro-
crosses.
A shortage OF stenographic help In
Wilmington has suggested to a. RAJ
duBell, secretary Of the committee, that
an appeal be made TO women who
were formerly employed, but who are
not now engaged in the work regu-
larly. There are a number Of women
now married and presiding over their
own homes who. it is thought may
be willing 20 aid this great financial
campaign. It Is hoped that a half dozen
-g1rsh workers may be secured. They
win be paid for their labor and in adj
dition will have the satisfaction of
knowing that they are helping the
national cause.
Mrs. duBell has also i'm mind the or
ganization Of a reserve force Of yolun-
feer workers 10 be called upon for
emergencies during The campaign. In
other campaigns 70 has been found that
there frequently arise need for the
services Of a large group Of sienog-

The comforting of titles Of nobility,
such as baron, count and marquis in
recognition for services rendered to

titles Of nobility were conferred in
the past
While distribution Of decorations not
only I'm Italy but in all allied countries
for distinguished war services is largely
"a personal. individual matter for the
soldier or officer who has won such a

nobility will have the distinctive char
acteristic Of recognizing families that
have rendered exceptional services to-
