Death of Father Makes Appeal
to Charity Necessary
A small wn in the Syrian
quarter was all that stood between the
family of I- ;:; II - ? and want. He
died a year ago and Sada, his wife,
? ill that the ?'nop had to be sold.
She tried to provide for her children
tishing skirts at home, thus earn?
ing $5 a week.
The Charity Organization Society is
ing to help her make her children
sturdy citizens, and $270 will be needed
daring the next ;;i\ months. Contri?
to the society at
105 Ea md : treet.
The Luxury Tax is as
much a tax on patience as
on purchases.
For, as yesterday showed,
^cfs really more a nuisance
o the merchant than a
serious matter to the cus?
tomer.
; The tax does not, as many
people seem to think, apply
to the whole price, nor does
jit take in all items included
[in men's wear.
\ True, the list is long, but
fit falls largety on our sub?
sidiary departments?hats,
?shoes and fixings.
Clothing (except sepa?
rate waistcoats) is entirely
exempt.
Now as to how the law
rorks.
Suppose you feel a $7.00
?Derby is a real necessity?
mow from experience that
?Quality pays.
You're all wrong ! It's a
luxury ! The law says five's
enough !
Being a good fellow, you

Loan Workers
Are Hopeful as
Sales Increase
. Officials Rejoice as Receipts
for Day Indicate That
Rush for Subscriptions
Is Near Throughout City
849,281,400 Day's Total
Nation Adds $166,302,000
to Issue; Purchases Far
Behind Quota, However
Workers here for the Victory Loan
yesterday took a slightly more hopeful
view of the campaign. They found in?
dications in the latest official statistics
that the great popular rush for the new
jiokl notes of the United States govern?
ment would not be delayed much
longer.
The Rainbow Division, which is the
chief hope of the Now York district for
a wide distribution of the securities,
yesterday reported its most fruitful
day of the drive. From the trades and
industries of the city the division re?
ceived subscriptions aggregating $-19,
281,400. Many of these orders are net
yet reflected in the total for the dis?
trict prepared by the Federal Reserve
Bank.
Returns Bring Cheer
However, the official aggregate of
subscriptions in the district for the
ninth day of the "push" revealed signs
of greater participation in the buying
by the public, and brought cheer to the
officials, who have been keenly disap?
pointed by the lack of enthusiasm up
to the present. The Second Federal
Reserve District has raised $289,378,
750 out of its Quota of $1,350,000,000, or
21.4 per cent. The gain on the ninth ?
day was $45,594,900.
The improvement in yesterday's fig?
ures was far below what is necessary to
enable the district to catch up to its
schedule, but was regarded as indicat?
ing that the turn had probably come.
To attain its quota, the New York dis?
trict, which now ranks ninth among
the twelve Federal Reserve Districts,
must raise an average of $117,719.200
on eacli of the remaining days of the
financial campaign.
Country's Total Small
Only $166,302,000 of additional sub?
scriptions for the country as a whole
were reported to the Treasury Depart?
ment on the ninth day. In this period
28.82 per cent of the nation's goal?
\ $4,500,000,000?has been taken, com
| pared with 29.85 per cent in the corre
I sponding time in the Fourth loan, when
] $1,791,463,000 whs subscribed in the
; first nine clays.

Corrigan Again Scores
Gambling Raid on Club j
Robert M. Moore, a Well j
Known Criminal Lawyer,
Arrested at Card Game
Another denunciation of the police
for their activity in raiding card j
games in clubs was made from the !
bench of the Jefferson Market Court '
yesterday by Magistrate Corrigan,
when six men, one of them Robert M.
Moore, a well known criminal lawyer,
of 137 West Ninety-seventh Street,
were arraigned before him and charged
with gambling.
-Mr. Moore and five others were taken
from the rooms of the Independence
League Club, in Thirty-first Street, near
Fifth Avenue, and charged with using
a room for gambling purposes.
"1 am sick of laying down the law
in such cases. It is not a crime to
play poker in a club or in a home.
But it is a crime to be, a common gam?
bler or to conduct a gambling house."
The other men arrested were Adam
Blake, 22 West Thirty-first Street;
(?us Haskell, 22 West Thirty-first
Street; Henry Samson, 1790 Clinton
Avenue, The Bronx; William Wade,
125 Fast Twenty-fourth Street, and
: Fdward Marks, Continental Hotel.
Marks ?fl a city marshal, he said.
Ail thi men wire discharged with
the exception of Blake, who is charged
with conducting a gambling house.

Jersey (Commission Says Men
\eed Outdoor Labor
TRENTON, X. J.. May l.?Evils of
the contract system in the employment
of prison labor and the immediate
necessity to provide outdoor work for
prisoners are discussed '.n the joint
report of committees on labor and
State use, made after an investigation
lasting six month?.
Of the private contract system the
report says: "These contracts were a
curse in every way '.o the prisoners, to
the prison officei s and to the S'.ato
The shops when under control of con?
tractors were in, ;:;i intolerable C< ridi
tioi. and the discipline of the prison
was constantly undermined."
As for the outdoor work, the report
points out thai machine industry is
unwise because there is not ample time
to perfect the workers and farming
i and road building would give better
returns to the State.

.. 7HEN you buy an Almond Bar
? ? you v/ant just as good choco?
late, just as good almonds, as in those
beautiful $1.25 packages.
Gold stamping, satin ribbon, and
hand packing, and all that, cost a lot
of money. It's worth it.
Some people say my Yellow Package
is homely?that may be, but it's inex?
pensive, and you don't eat the package,
you eat what's inside the package.
The chocolate and almonds in the
$1.25 box can't be any better than
what's in my Touraine Bar.
You won't find any other almond
bar made of the real French kind of
chocolate ? or any other almond bar
chock-full of big, sweet, crisp almonds
from.Italy and Spain.
The process is mine. I invented and
perfected the automatic machinery
for it.
That machinery makes it possible
for me to give you the Touraine
Bar at the same price you pay for
ordinary ones,
I'm making 1 000,000 Touraine Almond
Bars every day.
That speaks for itself.
When you see the Yellow Package, remem?
ber I made it different so you can pick it right
up and not be afraid it's one of those you don't
know a thing about.
