A Quiet Campaign.
Last year there were great doings
during the SAILS drive. A big head
quarters was opened in + street,
trucks full Of well.favored lassieS
ploughed around the downtown sec.
ton selling doughnuts and spread
ing the good word and everybody
in town knew the campaign was on.
That's an expensive method, how.
ever, and in the interest Of keeping
down the overhead, the Sal this
time is resorting to the simple
expedient Of having subscriptions
mailed in to the organization.
Those in charge, composing the
District of Columbia advisory board,
want to impress the public with the
fact that the drive is strictly local
affair and that all funds secured
will be used right here in Wash
ington.

a more important work in city life

day, in finding jobs for the job

food for the hungry"
IT'S workers." he went on, Ego
unhesitatingly into places where
few outside the Salvation Army are
willing to go, and do things that
few outside the Army would do,
recognizing no obstacles when need
ed to relieve want, suffering or
distress.
THE Salvation Army is an UP.
