considerable contribution from Wednes-

it may be we'll to pause for a moment
and consider where we are going on the
drive" question. Far be it from The
Meddler to doubt the merits of any of
the af0re mentioned causes they are all
deserving of support. Yet in view of the
rapidity with which drive has followed
drive of late it is pertinent to ponder
the question of how long it will be before
this method of raising money ceases to
be effective. The average person, en-
dowed with the average amount of public
spirit. has about so much money he feels
can be devoted to public contributions,
and if he learns from experience he is to
! bt called upon something like three or
four times a week he will cut accordingly
the amount he gives each time. In view
of the apparent popularity of this form
of money raising it might be a good idea
to create board of censorship to pass
upon the merits Of each cause SO that the
long suffering public will at least be
spared the necessity of contributing to
any save those that are worthy

Meddler has learned that the annual Red

hastens to add a word in behalf of this
distinctly worthy institution lest the sue
cession of drives~whch have preceded the
one planned for its assistance curtail the
proceeds on which it very largely de-
ponds. Up to within a year or more the
rest room by COMMON consent has had a
sort of monopoly on the tag method of
raising funds, and the response made to
its annual appeal has been extremely
generous The cause itself is no less
