7WO-WEEK STAMP SALE
PASSES SO0,0DO MARK
Reports to District Director Bring
Out Many Interesting Features
Of the Campaign.

More than half a million dollars
worth of war savings and thrift stamps
were sold in Washington during the
last two weeks. Reports from all the
districts are not yet in. but those re-
ceived indicate that the 100000 mark
was safely passed.
Compilation of reports to the District
director Of war savings has brought
out many interesting features OF the
campaign. The city post Office reports
show that up to and including last Fri
day total of $3s1,634.17 worth OF
stamps were sold since the beginning
of the campaign in this city. The
Treasury booth runs a close second to
period. reporting a total of $272,570.81.
During the war savings week. drive
last week an admiral in the United
states Navy was keeping an appoint
He stopped at the disbursing officer S
room and wanted to know if he could
purchase $40 worth of thrift stamps.
The stamps were quickly furnished him
and he said that he had decided to use
thrift stamps instead of money for tips
as long as the government would sell
them. A taxi was waiting on the out
side for the admiral and the taxi
driver was started on the thrift saving
path.
This idea is gaining popularity
throughout the city and many people
have adopted this form of not only aid
ing the government, but also keeping
faith with those to whom it is custom
ary to give tips.
War savers are reminded that there
are only ten more days, counting today,
in which to buy war savings stamps
for $4-l3. During the month of March
they will sell for $4-14.
