Not content with working for sal

tary Redfield, who is much interested
in the work, has published notices OF
the salvage plan in the Commerce Re-
ports. the daily journal Of the depary-
ment

PLEA SUCCESS
Appeal Observed Almost
100 Per Cent, Garfield
Announces.

The patriotic response of the
American motorist to the appeal of
DR.. Garfield, Federal fuel admins
traitor, to conserve; gasoline by re-
framing from Sunday motoring in
the territory east OF the Mississippi
was virtually<10o per cent the first
Sunday. according to reports re-
ceived by the administration yes
terday. the first working day since
the appeal became operative.
Il am greatly gratified." said
DR.. Garfield Yesterday. by this vol
untary sacrifice made so readily and
unquestionably. 1t simply shows
what the American people can do in
patriotic way when urged by a
common patriotic purpose.
III the response next Sunday is
as complete as we expect it to be,
in considering the splendid show
ing made the first Sunday, there
certainly will be no need for any
order and no anxiety for the conser-
walton we must have for overseas.
Everybody must help, but / must
emphasize that there is no place for
coercion in this appeal. Every one
must be his own Judge. If there
are slackers, public opinion will
take care of them. This Is a vol
untary war sacrifice"

PICK A THRIFT COM"
TO BUY W. S. S. WITH
Every One You Get. Set Aside to
Lend Your Uncle.

A plan adopted by a number of
Washingtonians to promote the buy
ing of thrift stamps which bids fair
to be generally followed hinges upon
the selection OF a thrift coin" In
stead OF being a special issue from
the government Mint, the thrift
COIN is any piece of legal tender that
the individual may select. Although
the dime is far more popular. the 25-
cent piece or even the humble nickel
will serve. The individual must set
aside every coin of that denomina tion
that comes to his hand and apply II
TO the purchase OF war savings or
thrift stamps. and must religiously re-
sist every impulse to spend il for any
other purpose.
Another plan is to set aside every
coin bearing a certain date.
But" as one Washingtonian who
followed this plan remarked, you
must not borrow or lend your thrift
coins. Experience shows that 1t isn't
wise to make change from it. and 1t
is failure IL you are not honest with
yourself. Every time your collection
gets over-heavy, put it in thrift
stamps. Thrift stamps are light"

OUTSIDERS In
D. G. REGISTER
Men Anxious to Credit
Home Towns Flock to
Board 3 Here.

Men EMPLOYED in Washington and
who come und-r the new draft ages,
but who have legal residence n
other States, began yesterday to sign
I'd at local h7srd 10, 3. Many of
the government clerks who prefer to
Gse credit for their registration to
boards in their home towns filled out
cards and mailed them from the Of
fees Of the board In the City Post
office.
Great numbers of them were on
hand when the board Offices opened
at 3 o'clock, and from then on a
continual stream of men flowed into
the rooms until late in the after
noon. So many OF the men came
to the Offices that the force was
found inadequate and calls were
made on the other draft boards, in
the District Buildings for registrars
to assist in the work. Six regis
trars, were sent to the distressed
board and they relieved the strain
somewhat
Draft board oficials stated that
the reason for the rush yesterday
was that the men wanted to get their
cards mailed to their local boards
before Registration Oay.
Local authorities expect that a
great number Of men will take advan-
tage of Maj. Donovan's offer that
they may register with. the board Of
the district in which they reside on
September u, and thus avoid any
possibility of trouble through delay in
the mails.
Seventeea Draft Aasistasts.
Seventeen limited service men
drawn from the District will be as
signed to duty in assisting the local
authorities in the new draft OF
these, six will be assigned to duty
In Maj. Donovan's .ofice, while the
remainder will be distributed among
the local boards.

A. c. Bedford, chairman of the Ma

Of the telephone and telegraph
systems and employs instruments
such as the average American ra-

there are no cables or wires to

wireless telegraph is often called
