WHITE CHRISTMAS is LIKELY
Storm King May Play All-winter
Engagement Here.
However, Pleasant Weather Pre-

Every little bit added to what we've
got" whistled the man with the shovel
last night as he tackled the three inches
OF snow the Weather Man handed Wash
ington yesterday.
1t was all right for the man with the
shovel TO whistle when the snow fell-it
meant Christmas change for him. But
TO those who had 10 face the beautiful"
when il was coming down hardest, these
semi-weekly snowstorms seemed a u.fie
monotonous. The Weather Bureau was
kept busy telling folks that the storm
wouldn amount 10 much. and that pleas
ant weather would prevail for church
goers to-day.
The car companies were taking no
chances, however, and the sweepers and
plows were kept busy until late al night,
when the storm abated. Three inches Of
snow had fallen, the Weather bureau
said, which would be positively all for
this engagement of the Stor~l King.
Colder weather will follow the clearing
to-day. says the fOrecaster. and betting
on a white Christmas is now an odds-On
proposition.
Ice has formed or the lakes at the Zoo

put the finishing touch on the blasted

CENTRAL HOSPITAL NEEDED
Recommended in the Annual Re-
port of Board of Charities.
Better Facilities for Caring for the
Sick Poor and Feeble Urged
Among Other Things.

Urging better facilities for caring for
the sick poor and feeble, the annual re-
port of the Board OF Charities was yes
terday forwarded to the Commissioners.
The report emphasizes the need Of a
central emergency hospital on the thirty
five-acre tract owned by the District on
Georgia avenue.
In regard TO the caring for feeble
minded children, the report says: The
necessity of providing proper care for
feeble-minded children is recognized
everywhere. and no satisfactory system
Of care except permanent segregation
from the rest OF the community has been
found. Not only does their condition de-
mand humane care, but the future vel
fare of society requires their permanent
segregation. II allowed to remain at
large. they tend to multiply their kind
and thus add to the burden OF misery and
pauperism.
Need for a central building, where all
sorts of helpless. hurt. sick. inebriated,
and destitute persons could be sent tenn
pOrarily IS outlined. The building, as de-
scribed by the boards outlines Of what il
would need. would have temporary pro-
vision for the care OF intoxicated persons
and for the emergency treatment OF the
sick and injured. 1t should afford tenn
porary shelter for homeless men and
women, for lost children, sc. In short
il should be a place where practically
everybody in distress could be furnished
temporary care without the necessity Of
being in the hands of the police.
The board also asks that the District
jail, the Reform School for Girls, the
National Training School for Boys, and
the Washington Asylum be placed under
the jurisdiction Of the Commissioners.
