I east Fifth street $3,500.00 S THE WESTERN - ' FBONTAT HOME Enrn and give. For n year tho young people ofc America have been conched In thrift. Instead of the old problem In the arithmetic book, "If Mary's mother gave her three apples, Jane gave her two, and she nte ono, how ninny would she have?" the third grade girl Is now sent to the blackboard to solve, "How ninny Thrift stninps nt 25 cents apiece will Mnry own nt the end of 12 months If she saves 10 cents a week?" The' girl In tlie grade above her Is learning In her arithmetic lesson how ninny Thrift stamps It takes to buy the yarn for COO helmets for tho soldiers In Frnnce. Still farther on the eighth grader Is told to flguro In terms of Wnr Savings stamps how much It costs to supply a regiment of Undo Sam's men with shelter tents. And now tho Earn and Glvcclub of the younger girls of the Young Wom en's Christ Inn association Is organ ized to turn those Thrift lessons Into giving. Tlie children of America hnvo been turning in pennies mid ntckles and pasting a green stamp on their Thrift card. Tho Earn and Glvo club can now use some of those cards nnd War Savings stamps In their campnlgn among tho youngor people for the united war fund. This fall when tho war Council of tho Y. W. O. A. mndo plans for tho 1018 war drive, It Included In Its pro gram the rule thnt no young girls un der eighteen can do any soliciting, on tho streetH or otherwise. Thoy can give, but they can only glvo by earn ing. Consequently In order to co-or-dlnnto thy efforts of the girls lu nil tho districts over tho country, tho Earn and Give club Is enrolling members and has given out an estimate of $5 apieco tp bo earned for tho wnr fund campaign by tho American girls who still count their ago In 'teens. Flvo dollars aplcco from tho younger glrla of tho country will mean thnt tho na tion an n wholo will Oil Its charitable organizations' wur chest. Some high school girl In Now York city Is going to enrn her $3 by shining her own shoco instead of stopping at tho Greek stand on her way to school and by making her own sandwiches for her noon lunch. Out in Iowa tlio girl who has beon spending 15 cents plus war tax for n movlo three nights a week Is going to draw a lino through tfio movlo habit excopt when thcro Is an especially good bill. Moro than one girl plans to clean all hor own gloves this "winter and to salvngo all tho pa per and collections of Junk about the house which should bo sold to tho junk man to bo worked over Into somo pro ductive industry. Tho girls In their 'icons nro going to earn Instead of ask others for tho money. Thoy nro to sncrlflco and glvo In thoir own names and older women will mnko tho public requests for inonoy olsowhorot i" Many of tho girls who nro wultlng to join tho Earn and Glvo club nro al ready Patriotic leaguers, and thoy have learned several practical lessons In tho thrift that will mnko them effective members of tho now club by their con servation of fruits and vegetables. Thoy havo canned and pickled. Now when tho end of summer brings the beginning of school they will change their thrift Into winter thrift and be gin saving their $5 for tho Y. W. O. A. war fund. "Wherover You Aro Is tho Western Front" Is tho slogan which tho Enrn and Glvo club has adopted. Anna, one wiry thlrtoen-year-old daughter of Now York's East side, who was ono of the llrst and youngest members to Join the campaign at u New York settlement bouse, had to havo It explained to hci that Instead of western front moaning light and fight meaning lists, tho west tern front moans work and work means save In order to give. The girl who Jolnw tlie Earn nnd Give club will discover thnt In con Junction with her working and saving lu order that her club will furnish Its quota of the money Hint Is going to help the girls like herself lu France and Belgium, she will also 11ml numer ous ways In tho community to help the wnr that she had never dreamed of, She will see that nil tho fruit pits and stones thnt can bo saved from her own dining tnlilo and from thoso of hct neighbors, nro dropped Into tho little red barrel at tho corner, In order that tho r-qrbnn which tho seeds Contain can be used In mnklng charconl for the American soldiers' guR masks. She will save nil tlie tin foil thnt she sees fot tho Reil Cross. She will help collect clothing for tho French and Belgium orphans and perhaps send them some of her own. School girls In Indln, ehlldran from Mjunlld, dingy homos, with absolutely no spending mqnoy, gnvo last year to Belgian and Armenian relief when they themselves wero not getting enough to eat. They gavo up their ment onco a week for tho Belgians, though they only had It twlco a wevTt themselves, and for tho Armenians they set nsldo tho handful of fresh grain that otherwise each girl would havo ground In her own little stone mill. Both contributions,' from all the girls In ono missionary's school, amounted only to $5 u month. "But It was a tremendous sncrlflco," their teacher writes, "although n Joyous ono. It actually meant less bread each day, and onco a week n meal of dry bread and water. This was dono by 80 girls from tho meanest homes In tho worU children between tho ages of flv and fifteen." Four hundred thousnnd girls In 47 states hnvo becomo Patriotic Leaguers since America declared war. If as many school girls and working girls from all clnssos pledge to earn and .gtve, tho united war fund campaigners will have $2,000,000 of their 5170,500.. 000.
