Phillips, of the t'ommotciul TruU Company, got Into communication with the KvKtiKO Leikjkr this morning and volun teered the use of h tlxe-ton romnierrlal truck. Ills offer Is a welcome one. a the question of a sufficient number of trucks and automobiles Is still a burdensome one Mr. Phillips has not only volunteered the use of the truck lie hnn suggested that It can be u?cd more than ono day a week fiom now until the time when there nre Mifll clent ai'lomnhlles mid trucks to take caie f the situation without calling repeatedly upon the sain u donors. Edwin H. Smith, of Ketwln II. Smith A Co., 101" Frankford avenue, has olun teercd the use of two of his trucks. Ills drivers, who ordinarily do not work on Sat urday afternoon, have volunteered to take turns driving the trucks In order to nshist this movement. Mr. Smith, as an Individual owner of trucks, has set an example ulileh It Is hoped will be followed by many other concerns, both large and tmall. There are thousands of trucks owned by Individuals and firms In Philadelphia, yet Mr. Smith ii the first of all the owners to come to the front In time to assist w Itli next Saturday's collection. Letters are still pouring in from pcisons in every section of the city notifying the lied Cross of collections of paper. A num ber of persons hae done much for the cause by organizing their entlio neighborhoods Into paper-having communities, bringing all of the paper from tho communit together at ono house so as to facilitate the collec tion. Mrs. Fred Balmer. Jr.. 121 G South Peach (treet, gave an excellent demonstration of how this could bo accomplished last Satur day. She had collected about llflO pounds of paper In the neighborhood of her mother's home In West Philadelphia, near D824 Trin ity place. She had nenrl all of the chil dren In the vicinity helping her with the collection. She suggested in her letter that be regretted that she did not lime nioic paper collected and promised that she srould have a bigger collection next Satur day. If every community wou.d profit by Mrs. Balmer's energetic example the P.ed Cross could soon feel that its financial situa tion was secures and tho young men who are going to Europe to fight tho battles of the republic could rest assured of excellent Hod dross attention every day cf their stay there. The Kvknim: Leduek has a muslin bag which was collected in the section of the city between tho two rivers and, between Market street and UC00 north, which has no name marked on It. If the owner will write the Heel Cross department of the Kve mwo Lkdocr this bag will be returned by parcel poBt.
