Chairman Knapp of the Interstate

two mediators provided by law, who

power save that of mediators and con

have come to command confidence Of
men and companies; they have deveI-

they have secured settlements when all

It wasn't so long ago that the rich

steer had not Yet been suppIanted by
the Golden Calf But a sophisticated
civilization has brought IN new man
ners and customs, ara that somBer
sbOmination; the sPike-tailcd coat, has
thrust itself upon helpless people.
The inaugural ball Is to be some
thing NJ a function. But when the
executive Flora AIcFIim7ey began to
east about in his mind as to what he
would wear he was confronted with a
dilemma If he carried MS Jefferson
ian simplicity to the extent OF appear

tions which smack of the effete East,
he would ALLEVIATE the affection of the

SHALL COLOR LINE BE DRAWN
IN CHARITY?

The response to the Eight Oppor-
tunitiesr of the Associated Charities
has been gratifying
But wait. maybe you don't know
Just what the Eight Opportunities
are The Times has been printing ex-
plantations OF them for several days,
but the past week has been a busy OF e.
and many people haven't had time to
read newspapers Therefore, we offer
a further word on the subject
The Associated Charities has selected
eight families that are particularly in
need of help and that are particularly
deserving of help, and it has appealed
to the people of Washington for con
tributions for them, not for temporary
relief but for relief for a period Of sew
eraI months or, IN some cases, a year
in each -ase, the amount of money
needed Is indicated, and the purpose for
which 1t Is to De used Is stated The
total sum required Is 5000 Up TO
last evening sJI6.sI had been coutribu-
ted The Associated Charities feels
confident the rest Of the necessary fund
viii be forthcoming.
But right here It Is necessary to
make an observation Two Of the
eight opportunities represent eoIored
people One is Opportunity No. T.
and is described by the Associated
Charities as follows:
Blind colored man with four mother
less children. His oldest daughter, a
girl Of sixteen years. is doing a mother
part in making a comfortable home for
them. The rent is paid by relatives.
The daughter earns about 81 a week at
washing. This Is all she can do in ad-
ditiOn to her home duties. Unless 8
a week or $50 for the year is provided,
this happy little home must be broken
up.
The other is Opportunity No. ~
described by the Associated Charities
IN these words:
A respectable old colored couple, the
man over eighty years His wife works,
but cannot make enough to support
them both A former employer pays
their rent Three dollars a week OF $50
a year is needed 70 make them comfort
able and keep them together.
Now, if one viii run down the list
Of contributions as published in Satur-
days Times he viii find that only S23
of the $3.50 needed for Opportunity
No. 4" has been contributed, and that
not one cent has been contributed for
Opportunity No. Z"
We have the wcrd of the Associated
Charities tlat these people are worthy
Of help and that their needs are great.

keenly, is their hunger less acute be-
cause their skins are blaek2
