deductions for family, insurance, Lib
erty bond payments and so on, so that
he has to consider carefully the spend

a time the men tramp long miles
through the city to "see the sights"
rather than spend a nickel on carfarc.

straying through the city and the con-
tinual organization of new activities
to meet the constantly changing con-
dltions in the service, it is evident
that to cover the ground by trolley or
foot-back is hardly feasible. Many
car owners, therefore, as members Of
the Have Lift" Association, offer
their cars for official use on certain
days each week, thus enabling the
workers to economize enormously in
physical strength and in time.
Under the direction OF the New York
War Camp Community Service the
Have a Lift" army has grown into
the thousands in New York City alone
and requests for membership come in
constantly from nearby states as we'll.
In several other active centres of the
War Camp Community Service auto
mobile owners are similarly mobilized.
AS the War Camp Community Service
is national organization, operating
under the War Department and Navy
Department Commissions on Training
Camp Activities, the movement has
been carried into every part of the
country.
