Subscriptions may be made at 926 F
street northwest. The reason why so many
shares have been taken by physicians Is ex-
planned by the committee due to the
fact that unless the physicians indorse the
movement in some measure it might not be
made success Enough musicians
subscribed to give 1t medical sanction, and
Gen. Sternberg and the executive commit
tee feel sure of the hearty cooperation also
of the business men, and those who be-
lieve in business philanthropy are asked to
do their share along this line in freeing
Washington of the great white plague.
