Hill Invaded
The doughnut brigade invaded the
Allison Hill district last night in
force. A great crowd had gathered
at Seventeenth and Chestnut streets
for the big ball game and here a
party of patriotic girls, including
Miss Sara Carpenter, Miss Sarah
Ogelsby, Miss Lima Berry, Miss Myra
Wentz and Miss Margaret Atkinson
sold great quantities of the ringed
sweetness. The party of girls was
supported by several soldiers who
sang appropriate selections from the
platform of an automobile truck ac-
companied by pianist There was
great interest in the Salvation Army
activities as brought to the ball
game by this delegation of dough-
nuters, and for time all interest
in the game was lost while every
body munched the doughnuts.

soldiers and group of girls observed

the Mulberry street bridge. This

boys in khaki and the girls dropped
bags of doughnuts into the uplifted
hands of the soldiers below. Their
appreciation was voiced in hearty
cheers and the response was Just

front, knew what the Salvation
Army lassies had done for the fight
erS over there.
