WILL send TOYS
IlIERISGGT TOTS
Children of Washington
Contribute to Sufferers.
MANY PLAYTHINGS GIVEN
Society Known as Children of the Con-
federacy Has Been Organized to
Garry on the Work.
MANY PLAYTHINGS GIVEN

While donations Of money and cloth
ing have gone into San Francisco from
every part of the country. the hearts of
certain mothers in Washington have
yearned to do something for the hun
dreds Of little folks who were so sud
denly deprived of all the good things of
life.
As resultof this a little society has
been formed in Washington which is TO
be called the Children Of the Confed-
cracy. an auxiliary TO the District OF
Columbia Daughters Of the Confederacy.
and the first work of these patriotic
little people will be to send to the chill
dren OF San Francisco a big assign
ment Of toys that they may again see
the light Of real child joy.
Mrs. Arthur Johnson has formed the
society. il occurred To her that this
work of child charity would be a good
thing for the initial effort of these young
patriots and so suggested that every
little boy and girl would give some
thing toward the box.
Origin of Society.
One day a happy little girl went in
TO see one of Mrs. Johrsons young
daughters and proudly announced the
fact that she had six sets OF paper
dolls. Her little playmate had almost
as many. and when they were both re-
minded Of the hundreds of children out
in San Francisco who had not even one,
they willingly offered to give some of
theirs to the unfortunate little West
erners. From that the idea took root.
and today contributions are beginning
10 reach Mrs. Johnson.
It is the purpose of the ladies who
are associated with Mrs. Johnson in
this work 10 have the first big box
reach San Francisco by July 4. Only
new toys are requested as II IS be-
lieved there are many homes where
games have been used only once and
where ia the array Of a small daugh-
ter's family Of dolls there may be one
which is Just as good as new because
she has been but one Of many.
All Tcys Are Acceptable.
Everything in the toy line viii be ac-
ceptable. Tiny scissors have been in
cluded in the list Of things requested
because dolls and doll furniture may
then easily be cut from the daily papers
by the children. Strings of paper dolls,
which only cost a penny. will form one
of the most desirable contributions. and
all sorts of kindergarten material Will
be counted as most acceptable. Games
needles. thimbIes and threadIwiH make
up a great part OF the box, and with
each and everything that goes out there
will be a little bit Of child love from
the fortunate little ones Of the East to
the children of san Francisco who Will
be many weeks getting back the little
TOYS that were theirs so short a time
ago.
Mrs Johnson has requested that all
contributions be sent 70 her at her home,
1914 q street northwest. The box, or
boxes, will be sent TO one of the San
Francisco chapters of the Daughters OF
the COnfederaCy with a request that no
distinction be made in distributing the
toys. and that only one be given tC
each child.

Argument of Opposition.

Against the big battleship II is urged
that II the cost is compared. IL viii Oe
found that the 3O.O00-ton ship Is less ef-
fective than the one Of 1900 tons. II
is also urged that there IS no good Ia
son why America should have a big
battleship just because some other IA
tions are building them. One OF the
most effective speeches made in the
House opposing the building OF a ship
OF the DreadnOuKht type was by Chair
man Tawney. Of the House ApprOpTia-
tionS Committee, who maintained ths
the people would not be Indifferent 20
the cost Of maintaining the navy when
the vessels now authorized were in com
mission. He declared when in 1910 all
the vessels now authorized were ON
pleted u would cost not less thar S7s.-

not including construction or reconstruc-
riOn.

Until recently. the advocates Of the con-
