Salvaging rubber for Uncle Sam
will be carried on by clubwomen
after the present campaign has
ceased. according to Mrs. Newton
c. Wing, chairman Of the Women's
Committee of the District of Colum-
bia Conservation Committee.
Plans for a series of rubber par
ties" suggested by Mrs. Wing, are

to offer their homes or to secure
clubhcuses for parties at which the
price of admission will be rubber.
Tentative plans are being made
by Mrs. Henry F. Sawtelle, treasurer
of the District Federation of
Women's Clubs, for party on July
4 at her home, $500 Connecticut
avenue. The date, suggested by Mrs.
Arthur c. Watkins, federation presi-
dent, as fitting for a patriotic prof.
ect, isn't definite yet, Mrs. Wing
explained.
A second rubber party is planned
for early July by Mrs. D. c. Lowe
of the Women's City Club, to be
given at that clubs headquarters on
Jackson place.
One original idea for assisting the
current rubber campaign has been
carried out successfully by Mrs. st.
George L. Sioussat. national defense
chairman of the Woman's National
Democratic Club. Mrs. Sioussat re-
ceived permission to place a large
barrel in the lobby of her apartment
house. the La Sale, which she dec
GRATED with a conspicuous "V" and
the slogan, Keep En- Rolling"
Mrs. Wing also enlisted the aid
of conservation chairmen of the
federation clubs in the current
drive.
Inaugurating a telephone chain
campaign" five women were asked
to telephone five friends in a re-
quest for rubber donations. Each
woman receiving a call is being
asked to telephone five others.
The first five said the idea was
enthusiastically received" she said.
Nearly every woman in the city
should be reached by this method"
The conservation chairman added
that at the end of each telephone
conversation the solicitor added,

were complaining in the hotel lobby
last evening. MY friend" said
Pitcher Buck Newsom of the Mats,

bashful Buck, three miles south
of Hartsville, S. c., one Of four
children.
"I began school in Bethel, S. c.,
went there for five years until I
shifted to Hartsville. When I was
just a youngster, my MON used to
make me baseballs out of old socks,
wrapping rubber bands or inner
tubes around them. I'd practice by
the hour throwing against brick
pillar that supported the house.
"I was a second baseman in high
school, though" continued Buck,
until one day our pitcher hurt his
arm in the second inning of a
game. Our coach told me to pitch,
so I did and struck out 16. From
then on I was a pitcher, finally
striking out 20 and winning the
championship of South Carolina,
10 for Hartsville High.
Then one day I went to visit my
sister when she was attending
summer school at Rockhill. I over
heard a coupla guys talking in a
restaurant and one of them was

morrow? Thornhill is hurt and
