GET IN "BEST CITIZEN. CLASS

The June campaign for War Saw

be kept of all who subscribe, and a
still stricter account of all who do
not. Every man, woman and child

be sent to Washington Immediately
following the campaign. 1t is in this
way that Uncle Sam can round up

across" Every American citizen must
do one or the other-some of them
have done both.
Uncle Sam is having no trouble in
massing his fighting army for across

SPOTLESS TARS

Washington, June 1S-The Republic
can Publicity Association, through its
President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
today gave out the following state
ment from its Washington Headquar-
ters:
Zone Of the most asinine instances
Of waste In the Government service
today is the regulation of the Navy
Department which requires officers
and commissioned officers to
wear spotless white uniforms during
the summer. In Washington there
are hundreds of these officers serv-
ing in the department Offices. 1t was
common remark among them last
summer and it is common remark
now that one of their chief concerns
is to avoid soiling their uniforms and
to make their salaries cover their
laundry bills.
This may seem like a trivial mat
ter, but 1t is important because it sets
an example Of wastefulness where ev-
cry effort should be made to practice
economy. Consider the various ways
in which the present regulation re-
suits in waste:
Il. All day long the officer derss-
ed In white is exercising caution lest
he soil his uniform. He must dust
every chair before he sits down. He
must dust his desk several times a
day. He must be careful at every
turn not to brush against anything
that will leave a spot on his coat or
trousers. In other words, his atten-
ton is constantly diverted from his
work to his clothes. This is the most
serious waste involved.
"2. The necessity for almost daily
laundering of uniforms requires the
services Of many laundry workers
who Should be engaged in needed
rather than needless work. Every la.
borer's time should be economical.
"3. The excessive laundry bills i'm
posed upon navy employees is moi
merely drain upon their persona
finances; 1t diminishes their oppor
tunity to invest savings in War Saw
ings Stamps or Liberty Bonds.
a. In setting an example in waste
fitness rather than economy, the gov
vernment encourages waste in private
life. When the government will sac
rifice efficiency for the continuance
o ia custom having its origin in van
ity, 1t cannot expect It's citizens Il
'forego similar personal qualification
at the expense of both time ant
money.
"The men of the navy are workers
not idlers. They are inspired by tn,
desire to serve, not to be served
They should be permitted to dress ii
the garb of workers and to practic,
the economics they desire to prac
tice in order to help the nation spec
this war to successful end"

FAMED VIRGIN FALLS "a. -. -.

FORECASTER OF PEACE
(By United Press)

With the British af1eld, April 49,.
During the enemy advance south
of y pres yesterday the Germans were
shot down at short range. The fa-
nous virgin. leaning from the church
tower at Albert, was destroyed.
Editors note: The figure OF the
virgin, holding the infant Jesus, was
knocked over on the church at Al.
bert when the city was shelled by
the Huns in 1914. The figure was
on the front of the edifice and when
it toppled leaned straight out from
it's base. There it remained until
yesterday. The figure in its uncanny
position was the cause of supersti-
tion to become widespread among
the inhabitants of the city. of Albert
and elsewhere that when the Virgin
and the infant Jesus fell from the
church to the ground, peace would
follow.

initial, but only one or two show a
tendency to minimize the influence of
liquor on crime. Those who figure
generally estimate rs per cent or
more as the proportion of crimes
caused by liquor Several put the
percentage at a little more than half.
Judges in territory which has
gone dry, invariably say that crime
has decreased with the disappearance
of saloons. zr@
Most of the judges show decided
and frank hostility to the saloons.
In some cases, however, the letters
intimate that men brought to book

and sometimes do SO without cause,
in order to have convenient excuse.
This is mot the prevailing opinion,
