SOLDIERS HOME FROM OVERSEAS
 ENJOY CANTEEN
Newly Invented Red Cross Bun PEeases Capricious Palate
 of Returning Doughboy.

Whether sea breezes have whetted their appetites or whether overseas ex- periences have made them hungrier men nobody seems to know, but every can teen worker is ready to bear testimony that returning doughboys do greater justice to the "eats" provided them by the Red Cross than have soldiers at any time during hostilities.
 "We've welcomed returning Sammies with 491, ,156 sandwiches and 3,OO5, ,1SO cups of coffee during the last five months," a canteen worker said the other day, "and it would do you good to see the way those boys fall to- on what they call Red Cross chow Of course there is no charge-we just give 'em the goodies as they come"
 Not only ''chow" but stamps and sta tionery are given away at the can- teens to the recently landed soldier, for often ttN boys have no money and everybody is invariably eager to send a letter to the home folks at the first opportunity.
 Introduce New Bun.
 Then there are sweets. When a chap hasn't had even sugar for his coffee in many a month, a honest-to- goodness sweet is like a gift from heaven. The Red Cross knows all about this and Atlantic Division can- teens have added sugar-coated buns to the toothsome "eats" which they give way.
 Shortly after the bun dispensing was started it was found that the much coveted sugar icing rubbed off the top and so the poor soldier often lost the best part of the treat. For which reason some nimble witted woman de- cfded to put the icing inside the bun just as jelly is placed inside a jelly roll It was tried. It worked. And now scores of doughboys daily pass out of Red Cross canteens promising to spread the fame of that bun even unto the remotest parts of these United States. Mothers and wives are to be initiated into the mysteries of it's con- coction (the recipe having been care fully obtained from a canteen wOrker) and the doughboy will see his home table graced with the Red Cross bun long after his sword has been beaten into ploughshare.
 Besides these things the canteens of the division have given out soap and tobacco, iced drinks and playing cards, candy and all manner of unexepect- ed "sundries" like eye shades and paper towels. In short, the Allan tic Division canteens have stood with open door and we'll stocked shelves and larders, beckoning in and serving every man from overseas from the time his foot first touches Amer ican soil until he reaches home

MOTOR CORPS GIRLS KEPT
 BUSY BY WAR BRIDES.
Report Shows Importance of Service at Points of Debarkation-ActiV
 itles Expanding.

War brides figure conspicuously in the latest report of the Red Cross Mo tor Corps, which will continue in serv- ice indefinitely. Figures given out by the Atlantic Division of the Red Cross shows that 343 war brides were given transportation from piers in Hoboken, N. J., to places of entertainment in New York city and elsewhere in one month. The report indicates that there has been practically no decrease from the average of the previous rush months of troop debarkation.
 Casual officers transported by the Corps numbered 1,2O7; overseas nurses, 1,438; litter cases, 235, and am- bulatory cases, 1,O32. Passenger cars used by the Corps numbered 334, and 574 ambulance trips were made.
 n'its recreation activities the Corps carried 4,248 soldiers. Parties of con- valescent soldiers were taken to 51 en- tertainments, nearly all of them Red Cross entertainments, in one month.
 The work of the Corps, it was an- nounced, will continue even after troop movements have ceased. Discontinu- ance of service of other women's mo- tor corps has no bearing on the work of the Red Cross Motor Corps Service it was announced Plans are under way for an increase in the extent and character and<variety of the Corps activities

Comforts and Recreation for Patients in Public Health
 Service Institutions.

The American Red Cross, acting on the request of Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the U. s. Public Health Serv- ice, has agreed to provide supple mental comforts and recreations for persons under treatment in 32 hos pitals operated by the service through out the country.
 The arrangement is primarily in the interest of discharged soldiers, sailors and marines, who are being cared for at the U. S. Public Health Service hos pitals. Institutions to which Red Cross Home Service work will be extended under this arrangement have a total bed capacity of about 10000. Three of these hospitals are in the Jurisdiction of the Atlantic Division of the Red Cross, these being situated in New York city, Buffalo and Dansville, N. Y.
 In addition to the sick and disabled American fighting men who will enjoy the benefits of the latest activity of the Red Cross are patients from the fol- lowing branches of government serv- ice, only persons in the employ of the
 
 the hospitals of the United States Pub lie Health Service:
 Army and navy nurses, male and fe- male; patients of the War Risk Insur- ance Bureau; merchant marine sea- men; seamen on boats of Mississippi River Commission officers and enlist ed men of the United States Coast Guard; officers and employees of the Public Health Service; keepers and as- sistant keepers of the Lighthouse Serv- ice; seamen of the Engineer Corps of the United States Army; the personnel of the Coast and Geodetic Survey; civilian employees entitled to treat ment under the United States Employ ees Compensation Act; employees on army transports not officers or enlisted men of the army.
 Red Cross workers with long train- ing in home service work in army can- tonments will endeavor to bring all the sunshine possible into the lives of pa- tients, supplying them with additional comforts, such as bath robes, pajafnas, socks, sweaters, etc., and arranging for ward entertainments for those unable to get about and more lively entertain ment for those who are convalescent, Moving pictures, vaudevilles, band con- certs and motor rides will make time hang less heavily on the patients hands.
 Through cooperation with the Amer fcan Library Association the Red Cross will see to 1t, that none of the patients lacks reading matter.

GLASS ISSUES
 SHARP NOTICE
Warns Traf1ckers in War Saw.
 ings Securities

Because of the numerous report of dishonest traffic in Treasury Savings Certificates and War Sav- ings Stamps reported to him, Sec retary of the Treasury, Garter Glass, has issued a warning to holders and future buyers of these Government securities. In hi: warning he urges those now hold ing these certificates to avoid all dealers and redeem these securi- ties only through postoffices. Sec retary Glass warning reads as follows:
 To Protect Buyers.
 These securities were not intende;, to be negotiable and for the protec- tion of the owners, in case thei- necessities required, provision wa made for the redemption of War Sav ings certificates at post offices upon ten days notice, at a fixed price representing the original purchas price with an addition for interest
 No obstacles have at any time been placed by the Treasury in tn way of redemption of these War Say ings Certificates, and it should b generally understood that the owne] of a certificate has an absolute righ to redeem it in accordance with it terms. Any case of refusal to mako such redemption, if brought to the at tention of the Treasury will result in prompt action.
 Prevent Payment to Rasca1s.
 "The Government needs the money and hopes the holders of War Savings Certificates will retain them, but will place no obstacle in the way of those bonafide holders who request pay ment. On the other hand, the Secre- tary will exercise every means within the power of the Treasury, and has asked the cooperation of the Pos Office Department, to prevent pay ment being made to those rascal who are buying the certificates an Stamps for less than their redemption value and promptly turning then in t. the Government for redemption at 9 profit, and serves notice upon thos people who are engaged in this dis. reputable business that this is tn settled policy of the Treasury"

 Hundreds Buying Stamps.
 According to reports, the Mexicans gre not purchasing these securities from Uncle Sam because of the beau tiful pictures on the stamps, but be- cause they know a good thing when they see it. This became known re- gently, when a Mexican came into the post office at Laredo, Texas, and purchased $1OO worth of War Savings Stamps. He stated that hundreds of Mexicans are purchasing War Saw ings Stamps as a means of safely in vesting their money.

Now that real summer weather is here so also is a smooth and oily tongued gentleman with an al- legged Spanish accent and wicker suitcase. With the aid and assist ance of near Spanish accent, he will tell you-if you come in his path, all about how he is a second cousin of a nephew of a steward on a boat sailing to and from South America. He will also make known to you, that he, by remark able ingenuity, has been able to smuggle a few genuine Peruvian Panama hats into the United States.
 Then the Plot Thickens.
 He then shows you the contents of the wicker suitcase, containing the Peruvian bananas and offers you the never to be repeated" opportunity of acquiring a geuine twenty-five dollar panama for eleven dollars. He will explain how the Peruvian Indians p1ait the hats under water, and if you make the slip of offering him $3.95, you will get the hat and--stung.

If his hats were made in Peru, they were made in Peru, Indiana, and the only Indians in Peru. Indiana, are the improved Red Men and Freddy Shook who goes joy riding with bottle of applejack under the seat or Dads fivver and carries matches and everything. The hats may have been made under water but they won't stand the rain
 Country Full of Promoters
 The country is full of promoters Of wild cat stock guaranteed to yield wonderful fortunes made in Peru Indiana. If you let yourself be talked into putting your hard earned savings into such stocks without proper in vestigation you are as foolish as you felt after you had bought the Panama and found that the boat referred to does not go to Peru
 When you buy speculative stocks you get not an investment but a chance in a game where there are few winning chances-if any.
 When you buy Government Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps you get a real investment and a real se- curity.

That in the next 15 years the total wealth of the United States now approximately $200, ,000, 900 will be doubled, is the prediction made by the officials of the United States Treasury Department, who are now urging people to invest in Thrift and War Savings Stamps so that they may share in this increase of wealth.
 Last year over $18,0O0,O 100000 was produced in this country. This is called by economists met income" !"
