EAR CALL TO ADMINISTER TO THE SICK AND NE
4 Thrift Stamp Party

A very ingenious reader OF the
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER has
planned thrift party, building
part Of the entertainment on the
war savings jingles that appear on
this page.
The plan is outlined as follows:
"One Of my friends has had sew
eral changes in her home life, due
to both of her brothers having been
called 70 the service. and II will,
therefore, be necessary for her to
make her home in another town
far from here with her relatives.
81 had thought about having
some other friends, say about ten
girls or so. visit my home some
evening just for a little informal
party before our friend leaves for
her new home. All winter we have
been knitting and packing com.
fort kits and sewing for the Red
Cross. had half an idea that to
make this little party fitting and
timely affair il would be nice TO
call II a thrift party. What do you
think OF that? 7 can't remember
where | saw it. but long time
ago 7 read somewhere that a woman
had used thrift cards with one thrift
stamp attached as placecards for
the guests at her dinner table. This
latter is really what gave me the
idea of thrift party.
Then, too, have seen a number
of war savings jingles in your
paper recently, and II occurred 10
me that one of the games we might
play would be to have each girl
make up war savings rhymes and
then offer thrift stamps as prizes.
7 also thought 1t might work out
very well to give each girl A pencil
and piece of paper and ask them to
draw a war savings stamp from
memory and offer Il thrift stamp as
a prize. This girl has done so
much work herself in the war
savings campaign and is so enthu-
siastic thought perhaps this sort
of party would please her very
much. ]. t.
We approve heartily and hope
others will follow your example.

Turn the Faucet "
and Get Soapsuds

To G. NJ. Campbell, Of New York,
patent has just been granted on a de-
vice for producing soapy solution by
simply turning on a faucet. The appara-
tus is a cup which has perforated
bottom, swinging on an arm attached
to the faucet. The cup is filled with
scrap soap. When clear water is wanted
the cup is swung back. When soapy
water is wanted for washing dishes, etc,
she cup is swung forward TO position
under the flowing water.
The water strikes perforated
spreader which stands up umbrella
fashion in the cup. This breaks up the
stream. so that the water reaches every
particle of soap.-New York World,
