United Hebrew Trades Will
Demand Each Member
Buy a Bond
Will Prove Patriotism
Campaign Outlined at Enthu-
siastic Meeting Of $500
Shop Chairmen

Tapping hitherto untouched resources
may be a leading task in financing q
great war. Twenty-Five hundred shop
chairmen of the United Hebrew Trades
yesterday met at the United States
Bank, n Delaney Street, to announce
that at least one Of the "untouched re-
sources" was willing to do its share.
The spirit Of the meeting resembed
more that of a typical Fourth of July
celebration than 4 gathering Of Men
whose war enthusiasm at one time al
been questioned
When Bernard T.. Marcus, of the East
Side Liberty Loan Committee, frankly
asked, care you going to forget poll
tics now to shelter your sons and broth
ers arid join in the defeat Of the COM
mon enemy of the world 2" the crucial
point Of the meeting was reached. The
unanmity with which the men shouted
back "Yes!" seemed to leave little
doubt as to where they stood on the
war.
"Thc eyes of the country said Mr..
Marcus, are fixed on the people o. tHe
East Side, which represents the melting
pot Of the nation. We must roll up
such subscription down here that
there shall henceforth be no question
of the patriotism of the East Side pco-
pie"
Max Pine. chairman of the United
Hebrew Trades, undertook the task of
organizing his associates for Liberty
Loan campaigning. every chairman
he said in his address, shall get out
tomorrow in the respective shops
and insist as a demand of the union
that the members buy Liberty bonds.
Those failing to buy bonds should be
made to explain their refusal publicly
1--WE have now got to show whether
! we are for America or against her The
only way we can show we are for Amer
'ca l is by buying. Liberty ds-buying

held this month in every public school
and many private schools III the United
States. Through the FourMinute Men

for the speeches.
The bulletin contains a letter ad-

and girls in America's schools" This
is followed by a letter regarding the
rules and suggestions for the contest
by William Mccormick Blair, the di-
rector of tho FourMinute Men.
The teachers review the text with
the pupils; they then prepare four
words. The best speeches are dcliv-
cred at meeting of the entire school,
to which parents and friends may be in
vited. In large schools it is suggested
that a separate competition be held in
the upper and lower grades, according
to the judgment Of the principal.

St. Louis Leads
AS Second Week of
Loan Drive Begins
New York Gives Most, but
Is Second in Percentage
ON Quotas Pledged

WASHINGTON, April 14.--The ma
tion will start tomorrow on the second
week o. its third Liberty Loan cam
paigr with 19 per cent of the three bill
ion dollar total subscribed, and the St.
Louis Federal Reserve District leading
all he rest in proportion of quota
raised, 36 per cent.
The Minneapolis district begins its
campaign tomorrow, week late, and
preliminary reports indicate that the
speaking dates and organization work
of the last week in that district will
bear fruit in the form Of big subscrip-
tons in the first few days.
OF the S573,451 800 subscriptions
actually reported to the Treasury, the
New York district has contributed the
most. but stands second on the list Of
districts arranged in order of percent
age of quota pledged, with 2G per cent.
Others in order are: Dallas. 25; Bos-
ton, 81; Chicago, 10; Philadelphia, IS;
Cleveland, Ia; Kansas City, ID; San
Francisco IL; Richmond, Z; Atlanta, q.
No additional reports of subscrip-
tions were received at headquarters to-
day, and to-morrow's reports will in
clude bond sales of Saturday.
Although officials directing the cam
paign are pleased with its success in
the first week, they point out that
pledges would have to come even faster
in the remaining three weeks if the
$4,000. 100000 goal is to be reached or
passed. The Treasury's review of the
loan tonight said:
Reports from all districts show an
optimistic feeling regarding the final
outcome Of the campaign, but virtually
all OF them express the fear that over
confidence may hamper sales.
1t is generally agreed that initial re-
suits were pleasing, but in some sec

news comes as q surprise 10 local

Harry J. S. would create mark Of
2.04 for a mile in his 1913 cam
paign.
Harry J. S. has seen seven years
Of raciAg life on the tracks. As
three-year-old he was marked in
2.18H. The following season he
clipped off several seconds Of his
former record, going mile in
2.13A. Nineteen hundred and thir-
teen proved big year for the Del
marvia Peninsula trotter, for dur
ing his campaign Of that season he
was driven over the mile course in
208H. In 1915 he didn't better
his record, but raced just the same,
collecting in the neighborh0od Of

The last two years have unfold

As a racer over the half-mile

2.07R over the ce-arounds,
which is some lightning fast.
Harry J. S. is a black stallion,

HOT BREADS SAFE.

The excuse that one can't conserve
wheat because it is impossible for
him to eat hot breads is not a sound
one and the person who makes use
of it open to criticism, the state food
administration states, "There. is no
record among medical authorities of
the hot breads causing persons in
good health otherwise any illness if
they are properly used," said A. D.
Wilson, federal food administrator of
Minnesota. "One can of course make
himself sick by overeating on any
article of food no matter how good
ard wholesome and healthful it may
be and there is feeling in the food
administration that if any sickness
has followed the eating of hot breads
it has been due to the fact that
breads are not used often enough
and that when they are placed upon
the home table they are eaten to ex-
cess at that particular time. If the
