Plans for the erection OF $1,000 adj

the widespread interest in the society's
work Not a little encouragement for the
early realization of this project may re-
suit from the Christmas checks now being
mailed to individuals and societies for
Christmas contributions.
These checks originated by the finance
committee Of the society. are unique az
the Christmas stamps originated by Miss

that remains for the prospective contri-
butor is to IN out the check in the usual
manner and TO mail it directly to the so
