As tho en campment ir scheduled to begin next week, it ls imperative thal tile funds be ?ecured in time to turn over to the l'OUege authorities this week. There at? hut two days-today and Satur day lu which this can be done. As a result of calling attention to the multer yesterday morning, sev eral contributions were telephoned to j ibo Chamber of Commerce. It ls to, bo boped that this will continue today.'

L. !.. runs an automobile on water. Or at loasl. he says he does. And several supposedly normal, hurd-hcaded busi ness mon who have seen him glvo a demonstration aro convinced that lie docs what hu clalniB. He simply I'raws (Ivo gallons of water out of any convenient water pipe, drops Into lt four ounces of a mysterious greenish Huid, pours the mixture into his gas oline tank, and off goos the machine, v illi the motor never missing nu ox plosion. Mu says the chemical he uses is so common and cheap .that thc new fuel only coats a cent a gallon. | if this ls not hocus-pocus. Enrichi bau made a discovery that ls literally; worth billions of dollars, und destin icd to confer .incalculable benefits on thu human race.. He has provided not. merely a means of running gas en gines cheaply.'ut tho very time when thc high price of gasoline bas nude it particularly wolcome. He has given ino world a permanent source of pow er far cheaper and more accessible than any now existing. It is no ex aggeration to say that 'hitch a discov ery is greater than that of steam poW cr. for the usc of steam depends on coal, which is expensive and exhaus tible. There ls plenty of water. ;'Unfortunately, this, lu probably a hoax or a dream. The known laws of science ' aro against it. Fuel ex portai scoff at it. Water, to be sure, ls two-thirds hydrogen: and that hydro gen, when separated, is highly explo sive. Cut chemists insist that lt ls bound to taite, under Ideal conditions, ii leant a? much expenditure of en ergy to separate tho hydrogen from ita combination with oxygon as thu hydrogen can give back afterward in burning or exploding. They insist that there la no substance In existence a little of which, pourod Into water, will cause this separation as Enricht says 't dOc?, ui Cult in;; up fue wuier and giving tho puro hydrogen to explode In the gas chamber of the engine like gasoline vapor. And yet-science has been wrong Lcforo. FlIUiA^lTUKOPV^S ARR? To tho ordinary American elly it will seem Incredible that there should bo 4,000 men and women In one com munity earning their living in social work supported by private philan thropy. Such, however, ls New York City's distinction, in thc realm of or ganised charity. ; . Philanthropy seems to have'devel oped into a regular industry. It has Its definite placo in the social orgaa Izahoi.. it fias, developed ita own .-.yatem and standards. Social work ers are required to undergo an elab orate course of training. . Salaries aro in general'not so high, perhaps as ia other lines of business requiring education and skill. But they uro bolter than educational sal aries. Thoy run aa high as $10.000 a year. '; Quite a few of the New York charity experts get $5,000 a year, and it.is a rare colleg? professor wno gets! that much. ' Their aggregate ?alarles! run into the millions. "Tho New York'School of Philan thropy, Which' has been takln y a cen sus of these salaried workers ?n pri-1 vote charities, reports that they cou eiltuto a larger group ?han the city's j clergymen, dont 1Bts or chemists, and are as numerous as authors, editors, reports, civil engineers and surveyors There are other Amer'can cities, too, where the proportion tA. social work ers to tho population ia almost as; ?r?at ''. ,// -V ' Undoubtedly tho worker? is worthy i ?it'hts hire. But lt does look as If thc ? work 'of distributing charity Is getting ] to be rather expensive, and the wa-j "chincry. unduly^. ; Vupftersc^ne,;. . ?Vd( any one who reflects on such vast, complex activities ns modern philan thropy represents, is driven to won Ger whether all this botiicr and ex pense is really necessary and wise wile; her society couldn't manag; tilings KO that fewer' persons would need charity, and so il.at the anny now engaged In laboriously investi gating and doling out pittances could be freed for productive employment. IIJGH TOST OF it:ll?-CS The American Bible Society an nounces that it is having difficulty be cause Of thc groa : increase in thc cost ol hook-making materials, its cheap testaments cost twice as much to pro duce as before thc war.

You'll wonder how it's possible to get so much good style and careful workmanship for $15.00. It's because the makers have specialized on medium-pric ed clothes for 70 years. The Clothcraft factory ranks among the foremost in the country in scientific methods of manufacture. It's a case where good wages, fair treatment and high ideals have produced better quality at lower cost. Blue or Gray-$15.00-which shall it be?
