MORE MONEY NEEDED
FOR CAR TICKET FUND
Another Appeal to Public
Made by Managers
GREAT BLESSING TO POOR
People Who Have Lived in Washington
For Years and Never Seen the White
House or Taken q Car Ride-Descrip-
ton of an Elephant

The eveT-incTeasing demands upon the
car ticket fund threaten to exhaust
the few remaining dollars, and the man
ayers Of the fund have issued another
appeal to the public for more money.
The number Of people that have been
benefited by the innovation has been
large. ard the amount OF good accom-
pHshed iucalculable.
While the original idea of distributing
the tickets and permitting the benefci-
aries to go at their pleasure has not
been abandoned. it has been found that
many OF those who are the most de-
serving, and the most In need Of an
outing are entirely unfamiliar with cars
and the best results are obtained by
organizing parties
One Of the surprising discoveries
made by Mr. Weller and his assistants
during the work is that children and
grown people as well, who have lived
in the city all Of their lives have never
seen the White House. and have only
seen the dome Of the Capitol from a
distance
In a party Of thirty that was taken to
Cabin John Bridge several days ago
by Mr.. and Mrs Weller. but two had
ever heen outside of the city on the
cars, one Of them being an aged Ger
man woman, who had a faint recollec-
ton Of q short ride into the country
about fifteen years ago. The other was
q little boy, who had once accompan-
panied his school fellows on a picnic.
Some OF the smaller children at first
show great fear Of the cars. and have
TO be put aboard by force. It does not
take them long, however, to snuggie up
in some friendly lap and enjoy the de-
lights OF the trip.
Elephant Had Wings.
Much amusement was occasfoned sew
eraI days ago by one youngster who az
companied a party from the southeast
ern part OF the city to the Zoo He
showed the greatest interest in all Of
the animals, but when he reached the
elephant house he seemed to be dazed
for a moment. Then gathering his wits
about him he ran back to the conductor
of the party and shouted: Hurry up!
The elephant IS laying down near the
spring. sick. Both of his wings are tied
up" Hurrying forward Mr.. Weller soon
learned that he had reference TO the an
imaPs ears which hung Iazily beside his |
head

ioaed by the heated spell the contribu- |
