STEADY INCOME
Red Cross Salvugc Committee
Meets With Success und
Makes Renewed Efforts
The Rod Cross Salvage Committee
has boen highly successful in the
work they have undertaken recently.
The proceeds of tho rubber campaign
and tho monoy received for papers
and motals netted a sum of $2,G00
collected by this committee within
tho last month. Mrs. Mabel Cronlse
Jones, chairman of the • committee,
urges that ward leaders make re
newed efforts In order that a steady
income from old papers, magazines,
tinfoil and metal may be secured. As
stated previously, If the ward lead
ers or Mrs. Jones, of 106 Docust
street, are notified by telephone or
a card, arrangements will be madej
for the Immediate collection of the
salvage. Nearly every family in town
receives one or two papers a day
and at the end of a short time quite
a few could be accumulated.
If collections are made once a
week or once a month, a few papers
from one house would not Amount to
much, but a few from every house
In tho street and a systematic collec
tion from all the houses In the city,
would bring proceeds that would In
sure reaching tho goal of a dollar a
day from each ward or $l4 a day
for the city. Good prices are offered
for papers and there Is still a good
market for rubbers.
Mrs. Jones will give a $2,000
check from the salvage committee to
Robert McCormlck, treasurer of the
Harrisburg Chapter this evening.
This money will probably be used to
buy Christmas kits for our "Sam
mies."

lived in Boston and he yearned for
a sight of some one from the New

"Here? Hore?" came from the cor
ner, and as the couslfis rose to their
feet and haltingly started through
the lane made as the crowd stepped
back, Sergeant Major Ripple pushed
toward them. There was an expres
sion of hope In his face that the
casual observer would have said
could not have been Inspired merely
by a desire to see seme one from
Boston.
Suddenly that expression of hope
was changed. Sergount Major Rip
ple had been looking everywhere for
his son und his nephew.
"My son!" he cried, In a voice
that shook with emotion. "Vincent.
And George!" And In a moment his
great arms were crushing them to
him. There were cheers, nnd not a
few tears, as room was made in
the corner for three.
Soon the two blind boys will re
