FUND is NOW INADEQUATE
AMOUNT SUBSCRIBED, $1,940

What will observation-disclosures do toward
entertaining the guests of the nation who
will convene here during the sessions of
the international congress on tuberculosis,
September II to October II? That ques-
ton is beginning to bother the local COM
mttee appointed to receive the several
thousand delegates and to entertain them
properly. AS already announced, d large
reception will be held and a smoker will
be given, but the entert ainment commit
tee, which has been working quietly, de-
clared at yesterdays meeting. in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. that
s.. 900 more is needed to entertain the Wis.,
| itors properly.
With the opening of the congress less
than week distant, the fund on hand is
entirely inadequate for the needs of the
simple program contemplated for the en-
tertainment of the distinguished men and
women who make up this important gath
erlng.
Responsibility of the Citizens.
The congress holds only triennial ses-
sions and competition among the nations
for the privilege of entertaining it is al
ways very strong. AS it will probably
be many years before the people of the
United States can expect the organiZa-
ton to convene within their borders
again, the finance committee hoped for a
prompt response to its appeal for contri-
buttons. That the subscription thus far
has not been adequate can be accounted
for only by assuming that the city's re-
sponsibility has not been appreciated.
But it is confidently expected that when
the people. of Washington realize that one
OF the most important conventions that
have ever met is now almost knocking at
the city gates, and that appropriate
1 OIL
entertainment given with the funds at the
committee disposal, they will literally
and speedily come forward with the
money necessary to preserve the fair
reputation for hospitality which WASH
lngton now enjoys.
