WILL SALVAGE JUNK
FOR THE RED CROSS
War Work Committee of the Cham
her of Commerce Plan Collection
and Storage.

Washington. July 15.-A plan by
which Washington is expected to raise
thousands of dollars for the Red
Cross by salvaging junk and waste
material that fills the cellars and at
tics of the city was launched at a
meeting OF the war work committee
of the chamber OF last
night.
The tentative plan is to erect some
where in the city a cheap portable
warehouse in which to store and as.
sort all tn. junk collected. Mrs. John
Allan DouRherty. chairman of the
salvage committee of the American
Civic association, who brought the
salvage question to the attention Of
the chamber, assured the members
last night that II 1t will arrange for
the building she will work out a sys-
tenn for collecting the material.
Trucks for Collection Problem.
+. j. Haltigan and other members
of the committee expressed confidence
that the cellars and back yards of
Washington will be found overloaded
with material to be ~salvaRed. 1t was
brought out that junk dealers and
other private agencies that formerly
collected newspapers, magazines and
similar articles can now rent their
trucks 10 such advantage that they
no longer collect from house to house.
a plan. probably will be worked out
under which n ho~usekeeper who has
auy thing to get rid of may drop a
salvage committee. One of the big
problems to be solved in connection
with the project is 10 get trucks to
collect.
Robert N. Harper. chairman of the
chambers war work committee. was
instructed to appoint three subcom-
mittees to take up, respectively, the
problems Of finding a building. get
ting trucks and comforting with the
Junk dealers,
Coupon Plan Abandoned.
The original plan put before the
committee was TO have the junk cal
ers buy from the banks OF the city
books Of coupons. If "A housekeeper
had 81 worth Of rags the junk man
would give her 50 worth Of the cou-
pons which she would paste on a
card and put in the window to show
that she had ~salvaged that amour
of waste for the Red Cross. The
money collected by the banks from
the sale of coupons would be turned
over to the Red Cross.
After 1sadore Chaser, a junk deal
er. had expressed the belief that such
q plan would not be practiced in
Washington. it was abandoned. Mr..
CHASER told the committee he believed
they could raise large sums for the
Red Cross by establishing the cen
trail warehouse plan n allowing
wholesale junk dealers to buy in bulk
quantities Of the waste collected.
Old automobile tires, newspapers,
magazines, tooth paste tubes n
similar articles, he said, would bring
a good profit If ~salvaged.
