Anty Drudge Tells Why Mary Doesn't
Object to Big Wash.
Father JustIook at the condition of the kids clothes!
Where do you suppose they pick up the dirt? You'll
have Mary making awful kick about the heavy
wash. Why Til bet she has to do up dozen dresses
every week for the babies?'
Aty Drudge More than that son n-law suppose it's
nearer two Dozen But so long as she has FesNaptha
soap on washday, Mary will never say word.
Every mother knows what lot of fun
the baby gets out OF crawling about the
floor and making its tiny self just as dirty
do q lIllIC ply.
But every mother has looked with
alarm at the array Of baby clothes to be
washed on Monday morning.
And every one has seen with despair
how the delicate little garments are cooked
to pieces in the destructive washboiler.
But all that was before the Fels-Naptha
wash-way became known.
The Fels- Naptha way means that
baby 5 soiled clothes are cleansed quicklyin

LOSS TO STUDENTS
PLACED AT $4,000

After "a conference with President
Boatwright, Mr.. Bryan decided to call
a special meeting OF the executive COM
nittee of the College Alumni Assoeia
tion Wednesday afternoon SO that a
formal appeal FOR funds might be is
sued. In the appeal Will be included
the list of contributions SO far received,
together With the following letter from
President Bnatwrieht;
December y. 1919.
George Bryan. Esq, President Gene
raj Society Richmond College Alum
nj. Richmond, Va:
MY Dear Mr.. Bryan:
Referring to your generous offer >of
assistance an behalf of the college
alumni. | think 1t proper to make to
you an official statement regarding the
losses sustained by students. III the fire
which destroyed the RTland Hall dor
mitory II Is only just to say At once
that editorials in all the Richmond
daily papers and many letters and teie-
grams indicate that sympathy with the
young men Is widespread and ready to
find prompt expression.
The papers have already published
the names Of the. students resident III
Kyland Hall NJ the close Of the fall
term. Friday, December 23 or these.
50 had gone home, and nothing was
saved from their rooms. The eleven
who were sleeping IN the building SAY
ed ouly few clothes, and half Of them
did not save even II full suit of cloth :
ing. / have asked all the students
whose rooins were burned t. give me a
careful inventory Of their losses. Frora
the replies thus Ear received. | judge
that the actual damage will average
more than $4,000 the student. The
largest item Of loss was books, sex :
eral students reporting losses in excess
of $500 for books alone. A number 81
students also had tSpewriters, by
means Of which they added IT, their
earnings.
Not all the students in this build
ing Will need hep in order u continue
their college course, but many of them
are not in position To bear their whole
loss without giving up college. Ry-
land Hall was largely occupied by stu
dents for the ministry, and of these 32
We're, receiving aid on their table board
in addition to free tuition from the col :
legc
".Au students furnished their rooms,
and am hoping L. be able to replace
the furniture without cost to the young
men. In som" eases it will doubtless
ne necessary to furnish text books also.
| estimate that the students have lost
about $4,000. and ! should be glad If
AT least one third of this loss could be
made good to them. l believe $3.a6o
will enable all ot them To continue their
coHrgt work, The subscriptions listed
below have been made to me.
