VIII Tell His Mother.
I'm going to write to my mother
about this" a boy in khaki told q
member Of the "Give En- a Lift Cub"
last night after he had been given a
lift in a club members au. omobile
for thirteen blocks and left at an ad-
dress for which he had been search
ing for three hours.
The soldier boy said he had never
been in Washington before; that one
OF the boys at camp who was p epar-
ing to leave for France had asked
him to look up his family and deliver
an important message.
Spying an automobile in which was
only the driver. he was attracted by
the pink membership card OF the
Give EN- a Lift Club on the wind

Makes En- Happy.
"Give EN- a Lift Club" members
are today getting more pleasure out
OF their cars than ever before. They
are able to do a little service for the
soldier boys: they are finding out that
the majority OF the boys in uniform
are strangers here.
Washington Is 20 accustomed to
seeing men in uniform on the streets
that many believe they are the same
soldiers here each day. They are
wrong. Ask a GIVE EN- a Lift Club"
member. He or she will tell you that
they are learning that the personnel
OF this soldiery in Washington Is
constantly changing.
Each day sees new faces among the
men in khaki here. Some are stop
ping over between trains. others are
on short furlough from one OF the
two-score military camps in this Vi
cinity. and others are arriving to
take places OF men who are going
across.
Its the finest movement The
Times has ever started" A. G. Bailey,
Of Takoma Park. declared when he

wife and / use IL. In driving in
from Takoma Park every day, l be-
lieve I can give a lift to at least half
a dozen soldier boys. On the return

J. ]. A. Krentzl n, OF 1855 Calvert
street, said that he had been giving
a lift to soldier boys from time to
time. but with the organization of the
Give EN- Lift Club" the way would
be opened for him to DO his bit on .
