Record :vC-: after setting a new world's record, - 5, winning the Brooklyn Handicap Half-and-Half"Bug" Shows Capital How To Boost Recruiting WASHINGTON, June 28. The late Jules Verne thought of more military innovations than Zeppelin or Edison ever dreamed of, but the record for dreaming is held by several of the applicants who in the last few weeks have come with vast projects to help the government in its present crisis. For instance, one enterprising young man ' has a brilliant plan to make the record number of recruits in the shortest possible time. He has applied for permission to walk the streets clad in a patent suit of clothes of his own designing. The suit consists of a half in half effect so built that if you look at him from the right side the wearer presents the appearance of a khaki clad private of infantry, but the view from the left side shows the astonished spectators a rather effeminately clad civilian wearing a monocle and a straw hat. The front view of this apparition Is that of a' man cut into two ill matched halves right side, hero; left side, "tango lizard." The placard to go with this motley makeup is "Don't Be Half a Man."

Red Cross Day In Sunday Schools Is Urged By President WASHINGTON. D. C June 28. Patriotic Sunday' Is to be observed next Sunday In all the Sunday schools of the United States in response to an appeal by President Wilson to observe the day by generous giving to the Red Cross. President' Wilson's letter follows: "To the Officers,. Teachers,, and Scholars of the Sunday Schools of the United States of America: "The present insistent call of our beloved country must be heard and answered by every citizen of the United States In proportion to his or her ability to maintain the national power and honor. Many citizens will render their aid by force of arms on the battlefield, while others will make the nation strong by their patriotic gifts and support to the common cause. It is, therefore, highly fitting that the Sunday school of the nation should observe a special patriotic day, and on th,is occasion should make a special contribution to the American Red Cross for the alleviation of the suffer ing entailed by the prosecution of the present war. It Is my earnest hope that your generosity may be unstinted in this hour of the nation's need, and that this special day may mean much to you in the undertaking of the cause for which our beloved land now contends.
