The participants in the contest had to Tace to the place where the oflicer was holding the leggings, and when the men were a few feet away from him he threw them up in the air. Then there was a scramble for the right leg wrappers.

Hollister. A letter signed by this committee was eat out last night to many men and women askiog each of them to obtain twenty members for the Limit Club. Each member enrolled will pledge himself or hertself to purchase $1,000 worth of War Savings Stamps before the beginning of next year. By this method l. it is hoped to put Rochester at least i over the top in the War Savings cam- 1 paign.

Co-operation Urged. At War Savings headquarters a re-i quest was made that all persons who caa possibly do so co-operate with those in charge of the movement by joining the Limit Club as soon as possible and by getting others to send in pledges. It ig pointed out by Mr- Eastman's com-i mittee, which is acting in a special ad-visory capacity, that of Rochester's quota only has been raised and that $4,000,000 worth of stamps must be sold in the next five i months. The drive now started follows orders from the United States Treasury Department and National War Savings I Committee to enroll at least 2,129 members in Rochester for the Limit Club. About 500 members are on the rolls.

Letter of Appeal. Following is a copy of the letter sent out by Mr. Eastman's committee: "The Treasury Department of the United States in fixing the amount ow War Savings Stamps to be taken by citizens of this country assigned the sum of $29 to each individual throughout the United States, Irrespective of locality. "Following this method of allotment, the Tnlted States government notified the citl-ieus of Rochester that they were expected to purchase $3,300,000 worth of stamps. "The government realized that there were persons to whom even the sum of 139 was a large amount, and they therefore permitted more fortunate Individ aals to exceed this sum, but placed a limit of $1,000 as the amount which any Individual Bight acquire.

"It further realized that the parens se of 11.000 worth of stamps by an individual would, serve as an inspiration to those who might not be so patriotically inclined, od the government has urged the formation of Limit clubs to the end that the pnit4a.se la this larger sum by certain individuals in the community will stimulate proportionate purchases by others. Hequest of Corporations. "Moreover, the government felt, and has strongly unrcd, that corporations and firms should avail themselves of this permission. that their employees may know that the heads of these institutions approve of this method and are backing it by their purchases. "One million and a half dollars of that loota has been raited.

The remaining must be secured in the next five months, "Thirty thousand dollars a day Is a sum hlca can easily be raised in this city.

French Thrift The French have long been noted for their thrift. The French nation has been strong financially because of the individual thriftiness of its citizens.

As a people they have been educated financially so they have learned to live comfortably on less than their incomes and to save something methodically. "What they have done, Americans can do. You yourself can live on less, than what you earn, and if you put the difference into a savings account it will accumulate at interest. If you have no account open "one now at this bank.

While the crap shooters were collecting each other's coin Acting Sergeant Jack Fleming was planning a raid. With him were Patrolmen Connolly and Sponenburg, both agile and eager.
