DRIVE EXTENDED
Campaign for Home Service
Fund Is Continued Un-
til Thursday.
D. C. is BELOW ITS QUOTA

Salvation Army headquarters has
decided to continue the nationwide
drive for the home service fund Of the
organization. at. least in the east, I'M
til Thursday night. Washington's
army of government clerks will be
paid either the end of this week or
the beginning of next. Some will re-
ceive their salaries Thursday, some
Saturday and some Monday, and it
was for this reason that the drive
was extended.
Although the 100000 quota assign
ed the District is surely in sight and,
perhaps by tonight may be actually
in hand. there is desire on the part
of the local campaign managers not
only to anticipate all other large
American cities. but to set an ex
ample to the rest of the nation in CO.
operating with an agency whose aim
is the uplift of all humanity.
Will Make Further Appeals.
All departments except the War
Department, therefore, are to pursue
an intensive campaign for further
funds until June 1. 1t was known
early last night that $4,000 has been
raised, and numerous contributions
have come in since and are still ar
irving. This sum represents individ-
ual subscriptions up to 500, tag and
doughnut sales and $1O,50O raised by
the navy yard employees. A. d. Fair
BARN, in charge; of governmental ac-
tivities. is firm in the conviction that
if given until pay day Uncle Sans
employees are sure to bring in the
remaining $4,000. with every pros
pect that the quota will be consider
ably exceeded.
"Yeogirls" and Almas Patrol Busy.
Last night saw the high-water
mark. as far as evening activities OF
the drive go. Patrons of playhouses.
hotel guests and pedestrians were
thoroughly canvasSed and with eX-
cellent results. Those whom the big
oriental band and uniformed Shriner
mobiles" of the Almas Patrol didn't
reach the hundred "yeogirls" did, for
both were apparently omnipresent.
The Almas Patrol brought in literally
a barrel of money" the exact sum
being $7S2.30.

color all combined to depict great
moments in the history of the
Army, while "1assies" returned from
overseas service, sailors. soldiers and
marines helped make the scenes
realistic.
