scribers will not be available until next
week, according to the Federal Reserve
bank. Unofiicially it is said the total will
run close to l,OOO.uo0 The goal set has
been 20 per cent Of the population.
Optimism peryades the Liberty Loan
headquarters. but the immensely of the
task of completing the quota is fully
realized by all the workers
An additional subscription received
from Drexel q CO.. bankers, added To the
FEELING OF confidence. This was fui

little cough 1t had one Tuesday,
three months ago, which was
gone on the next Tuesday, and
everything; behind the secretary
the scales with which every baby
of France has become so uncom-
fortably familiar; in the shining
white cupboards around the
walls, supplies of bandages and
simple remedies, and testing
paraphernalia, and mysterious
looking minor surgical instru-
ments, and such adjuncts.
But hush! This is no place for
idle curiosity; no space in this
tiny room for mere useless visi-
tors, because there Is a consulta-
ton going on; 80 the two visitors,
and the earnest, self-sacrificing
woman who was their guide, and
Madame the Director, and the
two nice-lOoking nurses, pushed
themselves back against two sec
lions of the wall, in two silent,
solemn rows, and stared.
The patient was a young party
by the name of Pierre, who OBJ
jected violently to having all his
clothes removed, and to being sup
ported on his stomach In mid-air
on a firm, broad hand, while an
ear was pressed against his spine.
He had little sympathy. His
mother, woman in black, who
was strong and quiet, merely
smiled, tho she held up her red
dened hands half hesitantly,
ready to take him back and dress
him.
The audience smiled, because
he was such nice baby, pink
and beautifully chubby and vel
vety of skin, with tender little
creases around his ankles and
wrists, and little round marbles
of toes which tried their best to
shut up tight like his fists.
The secretary smiled, too, and
already began to write the ver-
dict on the card of Monsieur
Pierre; and the doctor smiled, be-
cause that violent protest was
exactly what she wanted. The
slightest trace Of wheeze In the
lungs would show in that cry.
VOLTA! Sound as a franc!
Nothing whatsoever the mat

tray an overly enthusiastic choice
for a little, smiling, chubby-faced,
dark-skinned mite with red
cheeks and deep dimples, and
great, round, dancing brown
eyes, and curly brown hair!
Good Director.
A stir and bustling now In the
busy reception room, for here
came the director to take charge
of us. 1t was easy to see why, in
volunteering her services for
France, this sweet-faced elderly
lady had chosen the baby depart
ment, for the fairly exuded moth
erliness.
Clad in her white uniform and
the flowing white cap with the
red cross on the front, she ell
bowed her smiling way among the
throng; and grateful
eyes followed her wherever she
went.
Two volunteer nurses accom-
panied her, young women equally
fitted for their work, equally en-
thusiastic. -

Their progress thru the room
was slow, for they see these ba-
bies every week, and have an in

al of them, and are very solicit
