The least we can do Is pay In part to our last penny. Here Is another way of figuring It out. Recently I heard a successful business man talking about the income tax. He said, "Why. I am virtually working for the Government. This war Is taking everything." This brings to mind once more the soldier, the sailor or the marine. They have laid down their Jobs, well-paying Jobs In many cases; they have cut short or at least Indefinitely Inter rupted their business careers to work for the "Government." As privates are very plentiful In the army the salary is not one that would naturally lure a man from his business career. Who Is giving most, then, In a busi ness way? There Is a third thought. It is well to decide Just who H the "Govern ment," In whose name we do so many things. The Government, we havedis covered since we have learned to value our country, is simply YOU and MIC! Pn THE soft warm sunshine of 'ranee sleep the American soldiers who laid down their lives for the mil lions of friends they had never known. It la necessary that i-ome must die. But there are concrete things that will save the others. The War Chest sup plies these things.

If a man earns $3000 a year, he gives the War Chest thlrtj -three cents per day. If a man earns $4000 a year, he gives the War Chest fifty-five cents per day. If a Viian earns $3000 a year, he gives the War Chest slxty-nino cents per day. If a man earns $6000 a yeai . he gives the War Chest ninety nine cents per day. If one considers what a soldier or a sailor gives to his eountrv . these percentages to be ghen by those who stay nt home certainly look, as one man said yesterda, "the least that we can do."

IS'o class of women has failed to respond. Above are shown two apt scholars poing llirouph the ropes. In the circle is Mrs. John Blair, serretary of the Woman Voters' Council of the New York city Wonun Suffrage party. Under the leadership of Miss Mary Carrctt Hay, the partv's "lios," Mrs. DIair has undertaken llie work of supervising these schools of citizenship NEW YORK SUFFRAGISTS BUSY TEACHING WOMEN OF THE CITY HOW TO USE BALLOT Classes Held in Theatres, Tearooms, Factories, Banks, Department Stores and Every Place Where Daily Bread Is Earned Hippodrome Girls Proved Avid and Apt Pupils; Came Back for More IT'S a long way from tho ballet to the ballot. Almost as far aa Tlpperary ! Or is it? Mrs. John DIair, secretary of the woman voters' eouncij of the New York city Woman Suffrage party, has settled that question once and for all. It's Just well, ten steps from the bal let to the ballot, she will tell you. And Mrs. Ulair knows. Jt was she herself who went down to the Hippodrome in New York city to teach the Hippodrome girls how to vote. And here is her answer: "It isn't any further from the ballet to the ballot than it takes to step out of jour dress.ng room and get out in a call Into the most novel classroom In the world a place where you are taught to be a citizen " The girls al the Hippodrome have taken av ull.v to learning the big mighty business of citizenship. When Miss Mary Harrett Hay, "boss" of the New York city Woman Suffrage party, an nounced that a specially appointed com mittee sliuuld undertake to reach all the women of the great big city and teach them how- to vote hopes ran high In the suffrage party. Hut in some cases the hopes were quavering Women who earn their living tossing smiles to the crowds are apt to he skeptical. The thousands of girls employed In factories are apt to be skeptical, too. lint the quavers have all gone out A their hopes. The brilliant results achieved since .he citizenship classes went into effect are nothing short of marvelous. The surfs rushed In where those less inspired with a cause might have feared to tread. Instead of wait ing for the girls to como to suffrage headquarters they went to them. At present in the fifth month of their edu cational campaign, they are holding lines out to leach every woman In the city. There are classes In department stores, In restaurants. In tearooms, in banks. In the offices of large corpora lions, in the Red Cross. In the Y. W. C. A . In ladies' specialty shops. In fac tories, in fact, In every place under the sun or moon where young or old women are apt to earn their dally bread or merely to congregate for other purposes. The Job undertaken by the suffs Is colossal. But the results are measuring up to the Job. Nothing attests to this more than the fact that it Is not the women who have been working for ean for the vote who are interested in the classes, but the new woman to whom the vote has ineatii absolutely nothing It the pabt It seems that everywhere women, and particularly young women. are anxious to peek behind the scenes in the Government.

HOW TO VOTE IN UNIQUE SCHOOLS work alone, of course. A staff of paid teachers whoso salar.es are supplied bj the department of citizenship of the city party acts as an adjutant corps. In some instances where there are a large number of glrli emploed under one roof It has been possible to get the head of the educational or welfare de partment of that particular concern to give the courses. This has been done by having the educational head take a spe cial teachers' course In citizenship her self and then pass It on to her girls Thrte thousand new voters have been reached under one roof in this way as many voters as many a small town boasts of. The tinio allowed for the In struction has been advanced bj em ployers "This is a hopeful sign. ' Mrs. Blair says, which, of course, is true, because it means business men on the w hole have acknowledged the righteousness of citi zenship for women and are lending It their support. The course whicli teaches women to vote lasts for six weeks. The woman voters' council does not for an instant believe that six weeks of sketchy re view of political bcicnoe will turn out finished voUrs. t Time and time the superior men have taunted the buffs.

My face must have lighted up with hope, for Mlfs Brooks raised a warning hand and smiled a bit sadly as she said, ".Vow, don't Jump nt conclusions, my dear girl. If there were anything else In sight, wouldn't be suggesting this. Hut If you want to tiy It, it may tide jou over this hard spell. Anyway, there's no harm done." I was wondering what on earth could make her take this tone and also look so serious when she nl layed my curiosity by asking, "Did ou ever think of canvassing?" The question called up visions of the peddlers who sometimes stepped Inside the gate at grandfather's, though they never succeeded In selling any of their wares nor even, for that matter, enter ing the house The very sight of a ped dler's cart I dreaded as much as I fear ed and also longed to listen to a ghost story. This sentiment was due to Aunt Jane's attitude On the first sign of the approach of even the most harmless-looking Itinerant merchant or un offending canvasser mv relative, whose eagle eye missed little of significance, in variably ran to fasten all the doors nnd then started for the cellar, dragging me along with her. Xo matter how- loud the knocking for admittance, nor how i long It continued, we remained below- un til Aunt Jane, through the medium of a cellar window, had made sure the ! coast was clear. j Once I ventured to Inquire the reason 1 for this f to me) strange procedure and i was lnformed that persons w-ho went from door to door, even if they pre ! tended to sell things, were In reality i "no better than tramps and a pack of thieves.

It Is a great temptation and a practical boon to the knitter and the price Is only fifty cents.

Not one of us tn the office could do a stitch of work.

"I don't know," said Miss Hrooks, giving me a searching look, "whether ).ou have enough self-confidence to make a good canvasser and I told the agent that I hadn't the least idea whether you would even consider such a Job.
