FRUIT AND FLOWER nIssION.
The Work Done Among the Desery.
ing Poor.

The headquarters of the Fruit and
Flower Mission at 400 Post street was sur
rounded by a Gro wd of impatient men and
women yesterday morning. who fairly
blocked the sidewalk all the way from
Powell to Mason street. They were
orderly and but little trouble was ex-
perienced in keeping them in line after the
door of the mission lad been opened.
The members OF the society had been
long prep airing for the extra Thanksgiving
feast, which they intended distributing
among the worthy poor of this city, and
last Monday morning the president, Miss
Anna Hall, assisted by thirty young ladies
who volunteered their services for the oc-
casion, commenced packing and arranging
an ample sufficiency for the hundreds of
families whom they knew TO be in distress.
Donations of all kinds came in from
all sources and for two days previous to
yesterday lines of eXpreSsmen were
stretched along the street in front of the
headquarters awaiting their turn to
unload.
In order to systematic the distribution
process, $50 postal cards were sent TO as
many families, which accounted for the
assemblage yesterday morning.
AS the applicant reached the main en-
trance the card was presented to one of
the young ladies, who in turn passed it to
an assistant. A search was then made for
a box bearing the name of the family,
which was handed out, and with many
words of thanks the recipient departed
homeward with Thanksgiving dinner of
rare merit.
Each box contained supply sufficient
for the number in the family to which 1t
had been assigned. Turkey, assorted
vegetables, celery. mince pie, fruit and
nuts made up the donation, and in many
cases the overloaded packages necessi-
tated two persons to carry single one.
One hundred and eighty such packages
had been prepared by the ladies of the
mission, and it is estimated that the num-
Der of mouths that were fed aggregate at
least 900.
Many of the soclety's charges, who were
unable through indispositlon to call for
their share, were not forgotten by the
good Samaritans, who added an additional
portion to the charity box which was de-
llvered to its destination in due form. Tea,
cakes and flowers comprised the extra
daiuties supplied.
Besides this philanthropic measure the
mission forwarded two large boxes of fish
to the Boys and Girls Aid Society and
the st. Joseph's Home for Incurables.
Flowers were sent in abundance TO the
Old Peoples Home. California Women's
Hospital. City and County Hospital and
other Institutions

manner dear to the heart OF boys. Dinner
was, of course, the main event of the day
All the children were dressed In their
Sunday best before O'Clock, and as they
assembled in the spacious dining-room
they looked as bright and happy set of
little fellows as one could wish to see.
How they did enjoy that dinner! Every
thing that boy could wish fol- in the way
of vIands was there. Salad and soup.
turkey and cranberry sauce, pies and
cakes. and last but not least, liberal al
lowance of icecream. The repast was
enough to render any one but a boy torpid
after partaking of 1t, but those little Iel-
lows had no sooner eaten their fill than
they were out in the yard shouting and
rushing about as If a heavy dinner were
rather an incentive to violent exercise
than otherwise.
Baseball md handball matches had been
arranged for the afternoon, between the
juniors and seniors. The damp weather
made II necessary. however, that for the
well-being of their health and their Sum
day clothes. the children should play
In the Basement. They spent gorgeous
afternoon there, and solemnly affirmed
toward supper time that far from feeling
any the worse for the turkey dinner.
They were almost ready for another re-
past.
Alter supper the boys adjourned to the
large hall in the Directory building. Then
they treated one another to songs, recita-
tons and instrumental music till bed
time broke the party up.
The ladies who usually manage the
Youths Directory Thanksgiving dinner
had charge of it yesterday. They were:
Mrs. b. LAWYER, and the Misses Sullivan.
Moon and Crane. 1t was largely owing
to their able efforts that the affair was
such marked success,
Among the ladies and gentlemen who
contributed literally to the funds for the
chiidren's dinner were: Mrs. Fratinger.
Mrs. Cassass. Mrs. Riley. Mrs. O'Leary
and 4. COnklin.

THE SISTERS CHARGES.
A Joyful Time at the Day Home
Convent.

One of the prettiest sights that was wit
messed in our city yesterday was the gath
ering of the children in the Convent of the
Holy Family on the corner of Hayes and
Fillmore streets.
The good work which the sisters of this
order are doing among the poor through
their day homes for little ones. whose
mothers are thus enabled to fight the battle
of life unfettered, is we'll known in the
community, as is also the fact that each
year they give Thanksgiving and Christ
mas treat to the children who come under
their kindly and gentle care.
For weeks preparations for the Thanks
giving dinner have been added to the never
idle sisters usual occupations. but it was
quite evident yesterday that all felt fully
repaid for the additional work by the hap
piness Of their small but hugely apprecia-
tive guests.
The large dinipg-hall on the lower floor
was beautifully decorated with specimens
of the children's kindergarten work: the
window screens were fashioned of the
many c0l0red paper chains which little
ones so delight to make, and festOons of
the same adorned the walls. which were
frightened with pictures framed by tiny
but deft fingers. Mrs. Barroilhet sent
from her beautiful gardens in San Mateo a
profusion. of lovely flowers and terms.
which were artistically arranged upon the
heavily laden tables at each end of which
q monster turkey lay In state.
Fully an hour before the time set for din
ner the children from the ST. Francis and
Sacred Heart day homes arrived. and the
usually quiet convent was soon resounding
with their merry voices and happy laugh
ter. They played games and ran races in
the spacious laundry and grass-covered
inner court and enjoyed themselves gen.
orally until the bell rang for dinner. Then

Superintendent Godfrey of the United
States Marine Hospital had a most tempt
ing spread laid before the inmates under
his charge. A complete Thanksgiving
menu had been prepared, and the 100 in
valid seafarers attacked the feast with
spirit.
Those who were unable to leave the
wards as we'll as the bedridden invalids
were not forgotten, but were taken the
same fare as those who assembled in the
main dining-room.
The whole day was passed in an enjoy
able manner with games and amusements
of all kinds. In the evening a short enter
tainment was held in the chapel, which
closed the festivities in Joyous manner.

under the necessity of forbidding them

these sufferers did not complain OF the de-
prlvatlon, for the state of their appetites
was not such as to make them crave for
Thanksgiving cheer.

HIS OFFICE HOURS.

A citizen, who wanted some informa-
ton from THE GLOBE, and who Of course
failed to get it from THE GLOBE, for the
reason that THE GLOBE knew nothing
about it, is to-day reminded by DR..
CRowELL that his office hours are from 9
to -, and that those who have complaints
to make or grievances of any kind can
see him and adjust differences at the time
and place mentioned.
While THE GLOBE wants to see all
kinds of athletic sports encouraged in
Durham, and believes that the citizens
of The town should enjoy the benefits of
the grounds which they propose to equip
and donate to the college, we must insist,
and do insist, that DR.. CROWELL, as
president of the college, and in his alb
sence other members of the faculty, must
have absolute control Of the grounds, in
order hat the college property may be
protected and that they may be able to
give a satisfactory account Of it to the
trustees, to whom they are responsible.

VERY WELL SAID.
The Progressive Farmer contains the
following paragraph:

The Progressive Farmer contains the
following paragraph:
The smallest and most contemplate slur
that we have noticed in any of the state papers
for a long time appeared in the Hickory Press
and CarOlinian in a notice of the marriage Of
Mr.. MARION BUTLER, when that paper said {:
I'VE feel sorry for the gait may work all
right, but our doubts are multitudinous." 1t
is too wretched to notice, and we would never
have mentioned it except for the sole purpose
of showing the people how low some of these
british partisan editors can stoop.
THE GLOBE heartily and enthusiastic
cally endorses the above from The Pro-
gressive Farmer. The talk of The Press
and CarOlinian was the talk of a lOafer
and a vagabond. One may not agree
with the politics or the methods Of a man,
hearthstone and insults a pure and con
fiding woman, be becomes at once de-
PRAYED and abOminable.
If some sweet-faced girl chose to cast
for worse, it is a mean and sorry scamp
who would send his ~insolence and his
insults where he should send to her his
congratulations.
But the representatives of the press Of
North Carolina, for the most part, see
everything in politics. With rare excep-
tons there has never been a newspaper
in North Carolina which would accord
decent treatment to men of different
political creeds from theirs.
This idea is not one of imagination, but
that it is a genuine fact is shown in the
fiendish and brutal remarks of The Press
and Carolinian.
The GLOBE submits the proposition to
the honesty, to the decency, and to the
chivalry Of North Carolina, if it is not a
sorry day and a sorry man when a wo-
man who plights her troth who becomes
the wife of a man in whom she believes,
and who apart from his politics has been
decent, that alleged newspaper men
should take occasion to throw off on her
and in their ribald jests humiliate and
insult her. In fact, should she be in
suited for any cause?
We claim that the woman is defense
less. We claim that the man who would
insult her, as the above copied item does
insult her, should be excoriated by the
writers on the press of North Carolina.
But, mark it, not a word will be said,
but the loving and boot-licking brethren,
the great free-lunch, dead, beating press
association will hold together and de,
nounce all who do lot come in and par
ticipate in its dead-head orgies.
They will say: Insult the m and
damn the odds"

LIQUOR IN MAINE.

The New York Morning Advertiser
says: Maine began Juggling with the
liquor. laws in 1921, when NEAL Dow
was just sweet 16, and has been juggling
with them ever since. In that period the
state has had some wonderful legislation
on the subject, ranging from the sale of
licenses at 81 each, with moderate pen
atty attached for violations, to absolute
prohibition, which has been the vogue
since 1884. The legal effect of the Maine
laws is intended to almost prohibit the
people from looking upon the LIQUOR
when it is red, when it giveth it's color
in the cup-eXcepting cider. The frugal,
far-seeing farmers drew the line at cider.
Everything else was to go with the ex-
Ception of their own brew, which gave
them an apparent monopoly.
But statistics just issued from the in,
ternal revenue department in Portland
force upon us the unwelcOme impression
that cider is not satisfying the general
Maine thirst, including that developed in
the rural regions. Even hard cider, that
pleasing substitute for red and rebellious
liquor, does not fill the long-felt want.
Dealers in spirituous and malt liquors
have been obliged to enter the field, and
there are now nearly 500 of them cater
ing to the public appetite. All these pay
the special tax required by the federal
government.
Sad to relate, even these purveyors are
not enough to meet the requirements.
In addition to and independent of them
are enough speak ~easies" to supply the
prohibition state of Maine with one
whisky seller for every 500 inhabitants.
Even in New York city, where the art of
mixing drinks and dispensing the same
to the public is encouraged by the mu-
nicipal government, the proportion is not

So it will be seen that the people of
Maine, like Mr.. RILEY who kept the
hotel, are doing right we'll considering
the chance they have. The lesson is that
if prohibition is much of a check on the
sale of liquor Maine stands in need of it.
Without these ~prohibitive measures the
state might require as many saloons in

AN INTERNATIONAL sporting event that
will interest a great many Americans and

in a few weeks. The representative of
Britain in this race will be LORD Dun

and made d splendid record for speed
and for trustwOrthiness in all weathers.
The defender of the cup will be the Vigi.

able qualities in the trial races of the past
week. The famous cup is a trophy which
was captured from the Britishers a gener-
alton ago and which they have sought in
vain to recapture, eight races having been
sailed since the cup was brought to this
country. Besides the patriotic interest
in these contests On both sides of the
water, there is also involved the question
as to the relative merits of the different
styles of sail boats. Thus far the results
