RED CROSS ASKS AID

Thousands of shoes arr needed today by destitute people of occupied Bel

HOW SMALL TOWNS CAN KEEP
THEIR BOYS AND GIRLS

One of the great problems in small
towns is to induce the boys and girls
to stay there instead of going off 70
the city. This problem is dealt with
in the April American Magazine by a
man who says:
"One scheme W. have worked out
for holding our boys and girls at home
is, I believe, worth copying elsewhere:
We have a permanent committee on
openings to watch for chances to
help the ambitious ones. A few years
ago the committee reported there was
an opening for a small shop to sell the
baskets, p%orcupine quill ornaments,
bows, arrows, moccasins and such
things manufactured by the Indians
living on the reservation not far from
us. The committee decided the best
persons to open the shop were a young
married couple-the man a dry-goods
clerk, the girl a former telephone oper-
ator. The committee recommended a
location opposite the garage and neal
the hotel. The young couple had
spent all their savings in furnishing
their little cottage, and could not fin
ance the shop. The committee got the
money for them from the bank, each
member endorsing the note. The
young man went out in March and
bought the entire winter output of the
Indians, getting it at low prices, as
they preferred cash to holding for the
tourist season. The couple paid for
the stock, increased it largely, paid
rental, made some improvements and
cleared more than one thousand dol
lars the first year, and have made
more and more each season. The wife
has retired, and the store now en-
ploys two clerks-jobs for two more
of our boys"

Pat Sullivan NoU His
Same Old Self Again

vances. He wheeled round on them
like a shot, and they remembered
pressing business over the other side
of camp.
Finally the Red Cross man noticed
him and after much diplomacy got at
the heart of his trouble. Pat had 20
family except an older sister, with
whom he had had a fight way back in
1901. They had never spoken since.
In camp he began 10 think about hiIs-
self, and the idea of going off to
France with no one to say goodby
and no one TO write letters or give a
damn if he got shot was getting on his
nerves. He thought about his sister,
and the more he thought the more he
realized what a darn fine woman she
was and what a fool he'd been. He'd
about sell his soul to get in touch with
her again, but he had no idea where
she lived. He knew she was married,
but did not know to whom, but that
was all he could tell.
BY communicating with the Red
Cross Chapter in Sullivan's home town
the home service nan finally got on
her trail. Having located her, he
wrote the prettiest letter he knew how,
telling how her brother had repented
and wanted to hear from her, etc.
For days there was no reply, and
the secretary had about given it up
when Pat burst into his tent one eve
ming waving a letter wildly around his
head. ut came !" he shouted. at

THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.

"Our boys must have their smokes.
Send them cigarettes!" This is a
familiar appeal now to all of US.
Among those most in demand is
the now famous toasted cigarette
LUCKY STRIKE. Thousands of this
favorite brand have been shipped to
France. There is something home
like and friendly to the boys in the
sight of the familiar green packages
with the red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quality
of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is
largely due to the fact that the Burley
tobacco used in making it has been
toasted. "It's toasted" was the "slo-
gan" that made a great success of
LUCKY STRIKE in less than a year.
Now the American Tobacco Co. is
making Is million LUCKY STRIKE
Cigarettes a day.
A good part of this immense pro-
duction is making its way across the
water to chee- OF bows.

The Red Cross is now placing two
home service workers in every camp
and cantOnment throughout the coun-
try to get in touch with the men who
have family problems in which the
service may be of assistance. Proba-
bly, not one-half of the cases they
work on require financial assistance.
But every conceivable family difficulty
that can come to u group of 25,000
men has to be met and dealt with by
the Red Cross workers. The following
story is typical of dozens of cases in
which a Red Cross man has brought
scattered families together.
Patrick Sullivan was the strong
man of Camp Dix. Six feet two in his
stockings, with arms like a gorilla. it
was an unfortunate recruit Who got
into the grip of his iron paws. Few
did.
The second day after coming to
camp Pat announced he was champion
wrestler, boxer and strong man eX-
t%raordinary of the camp. And to date
there is no one who has not taken his
word for it. He had a big, genial
Irish face, too, that should have been
laughing at the whole world.
Lonely and Unsociable.
Instead of that he would loaf around
hi barracks by himself or take lonely
little strolls up and down the COM
pany streets. He was lonely, no ques-
ton about that, and several recruits
who took a chance on the natural So
ciability in his face tried to make adj

Police Hutchinson, as a draft evader,
and on Wednesday the Chief escorted
young Casio to Camp Dix where he
will begin at once his training for

Absecon School News of Interest.
Rather than have a canvas of the
town by the school children in the in
terest of Thrift Stamps, it has been
thought more advisable to suggest
that parents wishing to purchase
them do so through the children each
week IN Monday, at which time they
are for sale in the school. Every
Monday from $50 to 8 and from l to
$50 nearly forty percent of the pupils
purchase Thrift Stamps, the receipts
now being nearly S175.

been placed on the Playground, and
are used daily by many of the pupils.
