MINISTERS REFUSE
TO MARRY THE !
‘SLACKERS’
---
CHICAGO, April 12. — While the
army, navy and marine corps recruit
ing officers in Chicago clamored for
recruits, the rush for marriage li
censes continued today. Numbers ot (
men were waiting when the bureau]
opened for the day’s business.
Recruiting details were stationed in
the license office to attempt to dis- j
suade men seeking matrimony to
escape war duty.
Meanwhile, a number of ministers
announced that they would not per
form a wedding ceremony for a
“slacker.”
A number of recruits tor Illinois
volunteer regiments were gathered in ,
the long line of applicants waiting at
the marriage license counter and 15
men who admitted they were seeking
to evade military service by getting
married were decorated with the rib- !
bon of dishonor, a broad band of yel
low which, with scant ceremony, was
pinned on them by the recruiting of-1

BAG OF RAGS IS
WORTH WEIGHT
IN BREAD
“Mister, will you give me the price
of u meal ?”
The supplicant was a hungry “de
relict.” The holes in his garments
were open invitations to a St. Louis
winter’s blast.
The contrast between the supplicant
and the object of the supplication was
great. The latter happened to be
Ben Altheimer. a man known tor his
charity, emerging trom the glitteiing
foyer of a hotel. His rut* coat hid his
evening clothes, tor he and a numbei
of millionaires had been called to
gether to discuss the needs ot the pool
and methods for alleviation of dis
tress caused by the economic depres
sion in 1914.
Ben Altheimer stopped.
“Strange,” he said, “here we have
comfortably dined, while this man »s
freezing and hungry. We have beei
discussing this man’s need — wh>
can’t we do something for him?”
Something was done. He was fed.
and Ben Altheimer gave him his old
clothing, and it occurred to him that
there might be other people who had
old clothes and other men who were
cold and some women and children
who needed protection from the rig
ors of the winter. So, after telephon
ing several friends for old cloth ?s, and
finding “derelicts” to wear them, the
movement was spread from mouth to
mouth until a committ«*e was formed
and bundle day became a factor in the
elimination of suffering.
Forty-live i'ties in the United
States took up th? movement; news
papers gave it publicity; capitalists
ami workmen joined hands; school
children deposited their mite; and in
one day cast-off clothing and other
discards to the value of thousands of
dollars were collected ami almost as
quickly distributed.

New York decided, in May, 1915, to
experiment with waste collections and
combine them with charity.
After the first appeal had been
made, it was found that the proposi
tion would be much more successful
than had been anticipated. The
United Hebrew Charities has approxi
mately 1,000 members and cash con
tributors, yet the industrial depart -
-nent secured donations from approxi
mately 40.00U persons. Atltliough
the goods donated by the individuals
may not have had, in their opinions,
much intrinsic value, such material,
when collected and sorted aggregated
thousands in value.
In April, 1916, the institution ar-j
nounced: ‘A bag of rags is worth its
weight in bread.”
