THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
statesmen SOUGHT
Committee Appeals for Pa
triotic Volunteers to Push
Work in Coming Campaign

Preparations are being made for the
third Liberty Loan. Men Of the highest
standard whose patriotism must be great
enough to devote at least an entire
month exclusively to this work are
needed by the sales committee of the
Liberty Loan committee of the Third
Fedral Reserve District in the Lincoln
Building.
An appeal was issued today by Gren-
VILE ID. Montgomery to brokers, bond
houses and many other business estab-
lishments to send the names of all the
statesmen available for this work, SO that
there will be nc delay when the order
from washington comes to go ahead
THE selling OF these bonds" said Mr..
Montgomery, rs a patriotic duty that
equalizes with the best service one can
extend to his country. The tremendous
outlay imposed by the war conditions
makes the raising of funds a paramount
duty, and while these bonds are an
investment, and the best of helpful
investments. their disposition must of
necessity depend upon the force chosen
to dispose OF them.
1T Is with this thought in mind that
the sales committee Is urging all en-
ployers TO sense the Importance of an
immediate answer to the call and at
once mail lsit of the men OF their
staff. SO that they can be held in
reserve for immediate service when the
time comes to have them work for their
country"

II had to come. with everything
going up and up. and still higher. the
nickel sandwich did its best to hold on.
For weeks it had been growing thin
ner and thinner until the very sight
of 1t made man feel as though
he was out of work.
And now all the daily lunchers whose
eagle eyes travel down the nickel col
umn on the menus in Horn and Hardart's
and the Waldorf 'eateries" will not
find the word sandwich opposite the
figure 5. Brace yourself 1t is true !
All sandwiches, regardless of tradition,
reputation. caste or influence are a dime
apiece. Yes, even the frankfurter has
succumbed.

and walters IL among the multitudinous
reasons given for the advance.
Patrons of the nickel sandwich have
been complaining in most of the popu-
lar-priced lunch places. They have no
one but themselves TO blame. They
contended that ham which dwelt with
I'm was an insult to mans intelligence
and required one with keen insight to
locate 1t.
As to the cheese, they asserted with
much emphasis that it was decidedly
toulu uSfu TtdullN
instead of eyeglasses for reading news
papers. Furthermore, the holes in the
cheese were getting more numerous and
larger In fact. when one subtracted
the holes from the cheese, several pa
trohs declared there was little or no
cheese left
As for "deviled ham" sandwiches
many declared that some had deviled
the life out of the ham before IL was
assigned TO duty and II only survives in
sadly emacated form. The sardnes in
sardine sandwiches also showed the ef-
fects of the panic, and the salmon In
the sandwich named after it always
looked az though it had a hard time get
ting liberty from the can.
Patrons of Horn & Hardart's and the
Waldorf restaurants will continue to
patronize the sandwich. for they say it
will be larger and thicker in ten-cent
form and take new lease of life. In
vestigation has shown this TO be true.
Should they desert the sandwich. there
would be little redress. for potpies and
stews, roasts and fry have also advanced
in fact, many have scared more in
proportion than has the sandwich. which
held out untll-until the bitter end.

CLUB WOMEN, in VOTE,
GENERATE MUCH HEAT
Election by North Hills Aux
iliary Won by Radicals
After Interesting Session

The Women's Auxiliary OF the North
Hills Country Club held an election of
officers at the Adelphia today.
It may interest AIR Potter to know
that enough heat was generated at the
meeting to keep PhiladelphiaPa and the
surrounding territory warm for the re-
naming fuelless days.
Mrs. George l.. Thompson, of the So
called radicals" was elected president,
ousting Mrs, Guy whidden. of Wyncote,
who has held the Office for ten years. or
since the organization OF the club.
Cries of "Scandalous." ITS an out
rage and "l'll resign II proxies are not
permitted to vote" punctuated tbe busi.
ness leading up to the voting.
A veritable walk-out was threatened
when the ballot of Mrs. Frank Doyle.
one or the leaders to the opposition to
the old regime. was questioned by some
OF the women roofing for Mrs. whid-
den.
These avcrred that Mrs. DOYLE was
no longer member of the club, having
resigned.
IT'S an untruth. it's an untruth "
Mrs. Doyle exclaimed. excltedly. II said
! was going to resign. but didn't
actually do IT,"
''Its--it's-it's positively not nice, -

II won't vote II she can't" another
little member contributed.
Mrs. Doyle voted.
The two factions have arisen, accord
Ing to Miss Mildred Gates, champion golf
player OF the auxiliary. as the result OF
the desire on the part OF the ardent
golfers to develop this sport exclusively
and the desire OF the beginners to intro.
duce dancing and the less strenuous
sports.
The experts. however. who seemed 10
be backing Mrs. Whidden. foozled thei,
drive for once and lost the election.
Charges were made by other excited
members that ''the same politics and
underhand work which lost the election

club has had, lost for Mrs whidden
