ENDORSES S. A. DRIVE
Venerable ChurChman Expresses
Hope That $13,000,00O viii
Be Raised.

The following letter was addressed
to former Governor Whitman of New
York state by Cardinal Gibbons
Honorable and Dear Sir have
been asked by the local Commander of
the Salvation Army to address a word
to you as National Chairman of the
Campaign about to be launched in be-
half of the above named organization.
This am happy to do, and for the rea-
son that along with my fellow Ameri-
can citizens rejoice in the splendid
service which the Salvation Army rem
dered our soldier and sailor boys DUR
ing the war. Every returning trooper
is willing witness to the efficient and
generous work of the Salvation Army
both at the front and in the camps at
home. l am also the more happy to
commend this organization because it
is free from sectarian bias. The man
in need of help is the object of their
effort, with never question of his
creed or color.
II trust, therefore, your effortszsto
raise $13,000,000 for the Salv 5n
Army will meet with hearty response
from our generous public. Faithfully
yours,
~. CARD. GIBBONS"

HOW U. S. SHIPPED SILVER
Director of Mint at Washington Tells
of Precious Metal Sent Like
Bricks to India.

Washington, May 2lr-NOw that the
government has completed it's war
time shipments to India of silver from
melted dollars, the director Of the mint
has disclosed how thousands of tons
of the metal were hauled from the
Philadelphia mint to San Francisco in
special trains guarded by armed men
without loss of an ounce and without
general knowledge Of the procedure
Eighteen Of these treasure trains made
the trip across the continent in the
- months that ended April %, with
the silver like big bricks piled high in
each of the five express cars compos-
ing q special train. Two men with au-
tomato pistols at their hips and saw
ed-off shotguns on their laps sat in
each car, and later guarded the secret
transfer of the white bars from train
to ship at San Francisco. Each silver
brick weighed about GO pounds and
was worth $1,000, and each train carl
ried between $5,O0O,000 and 100000
of the bricks. More than 265,00O,O00
silver dollars were melted and shipped
to India during the year to meet ur-
gent war demands for coinage. Il

subject of building. for the readers of this

Some one had advanced the argu-
ment that if every family in the coun-
try willed it, there would be few that
did not live in their own homes. With
few exceptions, tenants pay more in
rent than it would cost them to buy
the places in which they live. The
owner of rented property must get as
large a return on his investment as
the same money would earn in in
terest, plus a profit to pay him for his
labor and the cost of caring for the
property. This expense is borne by
the person who rents the property.

The amount of the fund has been
determined exactly and logically by
means of budgets prepared locally by
workers of the Salvation Army in all
parts of the United States.
Already headquarters for the CAM
paign have been established in New
York City. A ready response in en-
enlargement and cheering wishes for
success has been heard from all parts
of the country. Men and women
prominent in all walks Of life have
volunteered their services as active
participants in the drive. The Army's
100000 loyal rooters the boys who
went overseas in khaki-are all lined
up ready to help. The Army not only
helped them over there, but it found
Jobs for many of them after they had
been mustered out of service, helped
them get the civilian clothing that was
necessary if they wanted to take those
Jobs, fed many of them, gave them
shelter and furnished them with trans
portation to their homes.
For the war service of the Salvation
Army is still under way. Its workers
are still, many Of them, in France, and
its hqts, clubhouses and hotels for the
reception of the boys returning from
abroad are in full swing here.
Neither, the Salvation Army asserts,
will its war work be abandoned until
the last boy is out of the khaki of the
army or the blue Of the navy. The
larger activities which necessitated the
coming campaign will exist and be
financed independently of the service
of the fighters from abroad.

VALIANT IN WAR
Having Served GIoriously in the
Trenches, Is Coming Back
From Overseas for Peace
Time Activities.
ASKS HOME SERVICE FUND.
+ National Campaign to Rcplenish Re-
sources Depleted BY Long and Di-
rect Contact Services With
Our Boys Scheduled for
May 1926.

New York (SpeciaD Like the
100000 American boys whom it
served so gloriously in the trenches of
France, the Salvation Army is coming
back from overseas, ready to put aside
its khaki uniform of war service, don
again the "Civvies" and embark once
more on its normal peace time activi-
ties.
And just like those doughboys, the
Salvation Army has come out of the
war victorious and with citations for
bravery decorations for gallantry I'M
der fire and golden chevrons indica-
tive of honorably won wounds on it's
arm The victory which the Saliva
ton Army has won is a victory over
the obstacles that lay before it in its
purpose of efficient service of the fight
ers Of Pershings army. Its citations
are the thanks, cheers and prayers of
100000 doughboys. It's wound stripes
are rightfully golden Of hue, for they
typify the unselfish way in which the
Army threw all its resources-flnan
cial, spiritual and moral-into the eff
fort to help the American soldiers in
France.
Now the Army is asking the people
of America to give it concrete evidence
of the gratitude which has been so
loudly and so willingly expressed.
From May 10 to 26 the Salvation Army
will conduct in the United States a
campaign to raise $13,000,000 for its
Home Service Fund. The money is
needed both to recoup the fortunes of
the Army, shattered by it's long service
of the soldier and to permit it to carry
on the work it has always done on the
larger scale which the public now
demands. Raising the money by this
MEANS the Salvation Army explains,
will eliminate, perhaps permanently,
the necessity for the ceaseless solicita-
ton of funds which has been bug
bear to the Army and the public alike,
Tt will permit the workers of the Army,
who, forced to devote more than half
their time to gathering money, were in
consequence only half efficient in their
evangelistic and social service work,
to devote all their time in future to
the duties for which they have been
trained.

This is an exceptionally fine design
for house of this kind and size ard
those who build according to it will
have homes to be proud of.
There is every reason why those
who have been considering building a
home should do SO now. The govern
ment is urging that all building be
started at once so as to give the re-
turning soldiers employment. Con-
verting the industries that were trans
formed into munitions factories dur
ing the war into their peace time state
also has thrown many persons tenn

ers busy.
When it is considered that more
than so per cent of the cost Of a
home is labor, it can readily be un-
derstood why building cannot be done
now so cheaply as few years ago.
Nature furnishes the materials that go
into a building, while labor fashions
them into the required shape and con-
The Knoxville independent. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1919-05-24

This line of reasoning is logical, but
rrhta Sne thing that deters most people
from buying or building home Is a
lack Of desire to assume the respon-
sibility Of paying for it. When it is
considered that a house may be pur-
chased by paying down small por-
ton of the cost and the balance as
rent, there is not so much RESPONSE
bility as most people believe.
Everywhere in the country now
there is a shortage of available homes.
In almost every community this con-
dition prevails and those who are pay
ing rent are finding that the demand
is causing the property owners to
charge more and more for the houses
they own. Thus, whether they will it
or not, many people have been driven
by necessity into building homes for
themselves, while others are conSid-
ering doing so.
Selecting design for house is
undoubtedly the most important step
in securing home. Care should be

that they are only 81 per cent more

The small fee the architect charges
