iVERY day you hear of another rum
mage sale, don't you? And In the hear-
ng of speclai ones sometimes you forget
the continuous one that goes on up at the
Emergency Aid shop all the time. Tho
only variety In tho going on is that a
different committee runs it each week, and
I really think the women In charge vlo

I stopped In yesterday, and do you know
theyactually. had brand-new dresses from
some' of the Walnut street dressmakers?
Why, I pretty nearly had a fit. I could
not begin to tell you all they had. It's re
markable what you do get at rummage
sales sometimes. Very often, I grant you,
lt' Just stuff for dealers; but as yesterday,
really all you need to have is nerve, and

there were several dance frocks given by
people who have gone Into mourning and
by a girl who has married lately and gotten
11 new things; and so djdn't she, or rather
r .nother, give all her evening dresses!
Sometimes you get giving so that you
give something you don't want to, don't
yotf? I heard a killing tale about a rum
mage. Every one In tho house'was Inter
ested In a sale, and one member of the
household began to collect everything and
send It off to the sale.
The following weok the father of the
family was getting' dressed to go to a party
with mother. He was all dressed up, look
ing as fine as a fiddle, and downstairs he
went and dove Into the closet, Well, he
dove and dived and dived, but somehow
the coat he wanted did not appear. Then
the family tool; up the search, and nowhere
was his black overcoat to be found. Finally
the member of the family who had been
collecting tilings for the rummage felt a
sudden horrible overturning of her heart,
and she said faintly, "I sent two of your
old frock coats to the rummage last week."
"Two frook coats nothing!" replied the
head of the house. "I only had one; you must
. have sent the new overcoat I had made
' for evenlngclothes." And It turned but
she had, and when the wife called up to
ask it an overcoat had been among the
things sent from their house the woman on
the board declared, In enraptured accents:
"Oh, yes, my dear, and it sold rjcht away.
Why, it had scarcely a mark. We got "
But mother was too faint to ask what
they got for It, The wee blr,'l, however,

some overcoat had gone for )4. Bo you

When members of the board were told
yeBterday that he wns short of two gradu

EMERGENCY AID CLUB
HAVEN FOR DOUGHBOYS
Paris Recreation Center Spon
sored by Rodman Wanamaker
Popular With U. S. Soldiers
Women of thn nversens committee of tho
Emergency Aid heard their director, the Rev.
Fredeilck W. Ileekm.in. foimer rough rider
and rector of the American Church of the
Holy Trinity, In Paris, icclte tho achieve
ments of their club In the course of his re
port to tho committee. He spoke at the ltltz
Cnrlton i-sterday.
"Thcodoro Roosevelt. Rodman Wanamaker
and the 'ice cream ladles' of the Emergency
Aid of Pennsjlvnnla are the Idol nf tho
American doughboy on leave In Paris," he
said. ."Formed under the encouragement of
Colonel Roosevelt and sponsored by Mr. Wan
amaker. tho Soldiers nnd Sailors' Rest Club
of the Emergency Aid has grown to be the
largest recreation center for troops In l'ans,
and Is the only club which General Parshlng
has ever visited. Ho has attended at meet
ings of the club three times.
"The red banner of the Emergency Aid of
Pennsylvania is the best-known ipot for
doughbos In Paris," he said. "Only eighteen
months from the day we sailed to Frnnco
have passed, nnd et we have the reputation
of being tho best-organized and most efficient
organization In America. The Emergency
Aid of Pennsylvania Is accredited abroad as
being, the most beloved of the war-work
organizations with Paris branches."
Dean Ileekman. who was formerly of Beth
lehem, prefaced his report on the activities ot
the "S. and S" ns tho doughboys termed the
club, with praise for the American soldier.
"Tho American army Is tho freest from
drunkenness of all tho armies In the field. I
saw personally hundreds of thousands of men
nt all hours of the day and night, and, all
told, I never saw more than three men who
wero under the Influence of liquor. The- Amer
ican Is tho greatest fighter, tho met Intel
ligent soldier nnd tho most responsive to the
finer Impulses of all tho Allies. He Is profane
In his soldlcr-llke manner, without meaning
to be Irreligious, but he Is essentially clean "
Dean Ueekman told tho Emergency Aid
how the Idea of having a recreation center
for A'mcrlcan troops had originated with
Mr. Wanamaker and how tho project had
been referred to Colonel Roosevelt for de
cision. ,
"Hoosevelt told me to go over and take
a chance, that tho army rules on the other
side mlsht bo less strict than they were
here," Dean Beekman reported. " 'Go seo
General Pershing and say that T asked uu
to go, nnd see, then, If anything cait be
done,' were tho pnrtlng words that the
greatfst American since Lincoln told me
"When I did see Pershing and told him
nbout tho plan, It took the general only five
minutes to glvo me permission to establish
tho club."
Uniformed members of the Emergency Aid
were nt tho Chateau-Thierry battlefield with
in a few hours after the wounded began to
stream back. Ice cream In huge amounts
was rushed to the field hospitals to relieve
the fevers of the men.
"They called nur girls tho Ice cream
nngels." said Dean Beekman, "and they
praised us In the highest terms possible for
them to use. Tho Red Cross authorities
heard of It. nnd thereafter wo supplied nine
tenths of all tho Ico cream used In tho Paris
hospitals.
"We had the only pool table In Pnrls, and
the only bureau of Information where men
could learn news of men from their own
towns. We kept a card Index of our callers
by towns nnd men pored over tho cards all
day long to hear news of their friends. We
also had exhibitions nt night nt which the
cost to a prlvato giver would have run up
to J6000 for the fees."

to submit tho following
THE MAN IN Mt'KTI
I saw a man In mufti. In mufti, In niuftl,
With n doctor's bag upon his firm,
And vigor In his swing
Ho went to Join the army, so proudly, so
proudly.
He went to join the army as proud ns
any king,
1
I saw a man In mufti. In mufti, in mufti,
A sad and disappointed man,
For the nrmy said him nay.
While other doctors went to war, so proudly,
so proudly.
While others went to war he waa ordained
nt home to stay.
I saw a man In mufti, In mufti, in mufti,
With n doctor's bag upon his Bnn,
And vUor In his swing.
He fought the epidemic, so strongly, so
strongly.
And fell, a martyr to his lnnd a poor
nnd broken thing.
Hut everybody knew that he,
Though very pitiful to see.

Ireland and Hunting
To the Kditor aj fir Kvoiltifl Public I.rdgcr:
Sir The war nnd Its conrequences have
resulted in other consequences, nnd It Is In
the hope of remedying the latter thnt I write
to you, Imploring your help nnd thnt of your
readers. The proclamation of the Sinn
Felners, declaring It eland a republic, has
o"casloned n terrible scarcity of orange flag
material It Mccms there never was a great
surplus of such mnterlnl nnd the nctlon nf
the Irish In declaring "the Kingdom of Great
Britain nnd Irelnnd at an end" found this
country absolutely unprepared and unable to
cope with the flood of orders for flags that
resulted,,
The greatest convention of the Irish people
ever held 111 America Is to be held In Phila
delphia this month, nnd not n yard of real
ornngo is to be hnd nt nny money If some
thing doesn't turn up coon, I trust thnt the
local Orange lodges will come to the rescue
and help out In some way Ireland will surely
remember them for It
PAIIRAIC LAGAN.
Philadelphia, February 11
Appreciation
To the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir Permit me to express my approval
and pleasure townrd your editorial, "Is Wil
son a lireamer? Head the Revenue Bill."
which nppenred In the Evbniso Pudlic
Ledger, Saturdny, February 8.
I should llku much to know the name or
the gentleman who coined the expression.
"If civilization cannot stop war then wnr will
stop civilization." That Is n colossal state
ment nnd one which will bear repeating.
There is too much plain downright common
senso In It to let It pass unnoticed.

GIRLS' CAMPAIGN EXTENDED
Drive for $150,000 Will Remain Open' Until
Saturday
Wlfli three days yet remaining in the girls'
week campaign lo raise 3160,000, the com
mittee in charge announces thnt 330,000 had
been pledged.
Girls from the two orgnnizatlons Inter
estedthe Business Woman's League nnd the
Girmantown branch of tho Y. W. C. A. are
devoting every moment outside pf business In
a strenuous effott lo go "over the top,"
Owing to lack of spare time, the- com
mittee has extended the campaign until next
Satuiday. The money raised Is to be used
In promoting the welfare of the working girls
of Philadelphia. Investigation has shown
that In the central part of the city there are
50,000 young women employed, yet there Is no
central association, the committee points out,
with facilities for giving them th recrea
tional and social opportunities needed for
their health and welfare.
