Harvard's drive for fund Of SIS

although there are $4,000 Harvard
men scattered here and there over
the face of the globe, the average
contribution which must be main
tanned in order to put the drive
across is somewhere between S4OO
and $500. This is not at all in a class

poor, and requires facts and figures
and organized effort Of high caliber.
And the fact that he canvassers for
Harvard have thus far more than
maintained the required average is
evidence enough that the managers
Of the drive have been generous in
passing out munitions. John Can
vasser staggers forth under load
OF data, and the figures show that
he generally staggers back under
an equal load Of subscriptions. John

just SO much soup for him. And

which have since made similar ap-
proaches to their alumni. is one Of
pride in the university, love for the
university, the needs Of the univer-
slty, and what the university has
done for the country and mankind.
And with the record Of college men
IN the war making the glorious
chapter which it has, Harvard and
her sister institutions have here an
appeal which is irrefutable.
Why give money to Harvard?~
is question which is anticipated at
some length in the book cts helpful
hints, for there are outlined no less
than eleven good reasons why a man
should give money to Harvard, any
one of which is conviction in itself,
and as for Harvard's needs, which in
this campaign have been confined to
more pay for teachers, and moro
money for the medical school, the
dental school, the department Of
chemistry and the new department
for compulsory freshmen athletics,
there IS long exposition of Just
what the university is doing, what it
can do and what it should do, and
he only answer possible is that tho
university must have more money.
Under the head of "Obiections
and Answers" is a comeback for
anything John Prospect can saw
other than Il WILL" If he should
recommend that the deficit be met by
raising tuition fees. he is only let

thought that Harvard was wealthy

that his comment was, to say the

Clean, starched collars have COW

cause is leaving anything to chance.
The canvasser no longer relies
chiefly on tears and smiles, but is
armed to the teeth with bristling
array of facts, figures and "sig-
nificant statistics" which in them
selves spell the prospects doom.
These facts and figures leave moth
ing to be said, leave no room for
argument, leave no barrier stand

as smilingly withdraws with the
bacon tucked firmly under his arm,
John Prospect hasn't chance. He
is roped and tied from the first, and
all that is needed to brand him with
the letters HEF is his signature on
that dotted line. The little book,
ably interpreted by a we'll drilled
man, will do it every time.
Sizing up your prospect is the
first ominous chapter in this liter
ary can opener, and it is typical Of
Harvard's campaign that the ap-
peal suggested is not one of duty or
obligation, but one based on "the
satisfaction and the sense of exalta-
ton that come from having done
service in a self-sacr;ficing way"
The canvasser may leave his man

ant glow of pleasure. Painless ex-
traction is science with the forty

do toward keeping New York's linen

nobody ever took the trouble to count
the Chinese laundries in New York
City.
The unmarried males of New York
have just about depleted the stocks
Ct local haberdashers' collars, shirts
and handkerchiefs.
Otto, blond and bland young
man who sells this sort of thing in
a Park Row store, said that his stock
of $3.50 shirts was disappearing like
money when there is a run on the
bank.
"Some Of 'em are collar pikers,
though" explained Otto. "They
come in here and buy a collar first
thing in the morning. Then they
tuck the dirty one in their back
pocket and dash down the street to
a swell shirt place and buy their
days shirt supply.
"Most Of 'em are fair, though, and
recognize that the value we offer in
