less Children Chosen as
Beneficiary.

Charity will receive the entire pro
ceeds Of the street sales or the next
Sunday evening edition of The Times.
A penny spent with any newsboy next
Sunday afternoon means an additional
mite in aid of a worthy cause. The
Times feels that this is the proper
spirit in which TO begin the New Year
One Of the newest, as well as one
OF the most deserving local charitable
organizations, has been selected as the
beneficiary Of the offer-the Home

Judge William II DeLacy. Of the
Juvenile Court. is president both Of the
st. Vincent de Paul Society and the
subsidiary home placing bureau. He
hailed with genuine delight the offer
Of The Times. saying:
Il heartily commend the charitable Of
fer. The paper could not aid a more
worthy charity at this time. We seek
10 conserve the home, TO make better
men and women by taking care OF the

Of about go professional and business
men Of Washington. volunteers who re-
ceive no pay, and who do much good

less Children is a new society. fostered
by the older one. which latter has
branches all over the country.
Calls Aid a Blessing.
Aid, such as The Times voluntarily
proposes to render at this time, will
be blessing and will accomplish much
for the city's poor. The project shall
have my hearty moral support and I
urge its support upon the members OF
the charitable organizations and the
people Of Washington generally"
The Rev Father William T. Russell,
pastor Of St Patriclz's Church. said:
The Times could not have made a
more generous and propitious PROPOSE
ton, and I am heartily I'm accord with
Il. I appreciate # deeply. as I am sure
the membership Of the societies and the
good people throughout the Capital will.
You may say that the movement has
my sanction and grateful support. and
1 shall aid In any way possible to
ward raising funds FOR such worthy
cause.
The bureau. newly established and
