THE PINEHUr.ST OUTLOOK A. Snooi flakes and THRIFT STAMPS You may think a thrift stamp is too small a thing to be considered seriously. How is it going to be possible to get money enough through the sale of such stamps to be of any consequence at a time when tens of billions of dollars will be needed? Let us think the matter over. . A snowflake is . a small thing; but many snowflakes become important. They form' the blankets that keep broad .fields of wheat warm through the winter. They impede traffic. They cause cities to be isolated. They fill mountains and halt armies. Thrift stamps are like snowflakes. A few of them don't amount to -much. A thrift stamp bought by every man, woman and child in the United States would place $25,000,000 at the immediate disposal of the government. Enough thrift stamps to buy a war savings stamp for each inhabitant of the United States would bring into the possession of the treasury $500,000,000. Every thrift stamp that is bought is like the snowflake that becomes a part of the big drift which is to stall the German war machine and make the world a place in which people may return once more to the pursuit of happiness, and again enjoy the comfort of security. if!

"But this demonstration of the ex cellent use I made of the fatal number did not lessen the conviction of the fol lowing in the slightest. When we turned up for the rubber shoot at Merchant ville, New Jersey, and I was again, by the purest chance, assigned to room 13, there was a riot. When I refused to budge again, my supporters indulged in incantations to remove the spell, and under the certainty that the evil was cumulative, and that both these dread ful 13s would get in their work at one luUtt UiV oi tne month to be a good augury, and went to it.
