WORKERS FOR CHARITY
IN NEED OF FUNDS
Demands 60 Per Cent Greater This
Winter Than They Were
Last.

With less than half Of their budgets yet
raised, the Associated Charities and Citi-
zens' Relief Association report that their
resources are being strained to the limit
both as to funds and as to the ability Of
their workers to keep UP with the de-
mands made upon them. A comparison of
the amount Of relief given this winter and
last shows an Increase of over SO per
cent. These extra demands may be ac-
counted for in several ways. Doubtless
the high cost Of living has no little to do
with 1t. Then the early coming of winter
threw many unskilled laborers out Of
employment. In addition to these un-
usual causes are those which may be said
to be always present, such as sickness.

BIDS HIS RIVAL WELCOME
ENGLISH EXPLORER NOT AFRAID
OF ANTARCTIC COMPETITION.
Will Strive to Reach the South Pole
Ahead Of the Peary
Expedition.

LONDON February 4.-The announce
ment that Commander Peary means to
take a hand in the race for the south
pole has created intense interest. 1t was
thought possible that Sir Ernest Shackle-
ton might also take a hand in the con-
test. but the latter said today that such
was not his intention.
II shall not be. In it, said Sir Ernest,
though my heart. my desires are still in
the antarctic. believe Scott has a SPLEEN

proved by geographical authorities. The
explorers base which he has chosen is
safe and he knows the land for good
distance southwark. He must now be al
lowed plenty of time for organization I'M
hanpered by any need of funds and all
will be we'll.
Confronted by Ice Barrier.
If the Peary expedition were to choose
Weddell sea as a point OF departure it
would be hampered from the start by the
necessity OF making its base in an un-
known portion of the antarctic continent,
where, as far as We know, there Is no
fronted by q great barrier of Ice and
would be 200 miles or SO farther north
than Capt. Scott. I doubt IL 1t could do
anything in one season from such a point.
Il hope the British public will come
forward to the support of Scott In every
possible way. He must not be allowed to
lack funds.
SCOTS attitude toward Peary may be
summed up In the old phrase May the
best man win" He welcomes scientific
cooperation I'm the task of exploring the
antarctic and realizes that every expedi-
ton adds to the sum of general knoWl-
edge, and therefore helps those who fol-
low.
Scott has been in communication with
Peary, for whom he has great regard
The British leader is a good sportsman
and will enjoy the prospect of race to
the south pole.
NEW YORK. February 4.-Should the
proposed dash for the south pole be I'M
dertaken by American explorers as pro-
posed by Commander Peary, several
members Of the Peary polar expedition
will probably be selected as members of

the statement that Capt. Bartlett of the
arctic ship Roosevelt. Prof. Mcmillan and
George Borup, who were with Commander

The long, sleepy shadows which lay across the
main street of Santa Barbara one April afternoon
were suddenly surprised by which appeared
among them leaping and running and throwing out
its legs. 1t was cast by small Spanish boy speed
ing along his bare brown feet
Through broken, tile-topped fence he darted
past the hedge Of prckiy pear and into little Ill,
chosen leader OF all the butterflies"
At his call huge woman ran heavily to meet
him, but Alessandro had raced far and so fast
that it was time before he could find breath
to explain.
The City of Santa Barbara to give flower
festival and on a certain evening there was to be
grand ball in which beautiful young ladies were to
appear as different flowers, and twelve little boys
from the kindergarten, dressed butterflies were
to have part in the dance; and, most important of
all, he, Alessandro had been chosen their leader!
During the days of the rehearsals. Aessandro
bore himself with great dignity. 1t would be un:.
far to tell of the brilliant pictures he drew OF
himself for the benefit of Juan and Pancho and the
other little Spanish boys of the neighborhood,-he
was only five years old and he had vivid magma

bus, he called out with what breath he could COM
mand.
The evening grew dark; the town clock struck
eight; Juan and Pancho and the rest of the little
crowd had been summond home by one to bed !;
and still Allessandro had not been called for. What
could it mean? He was not old enough to reason
much about He could only stand there silent, and
in the darkness feel great weight of disappoint-
settling down upon his little heart Nine
O'Clock struck the still night air. 1t the
hour for the appearance of the butterflies in the
dance A heartbroken sob followed the last stroke
of the town clock. The boys mother tenderly
gathered him tight in her arms and bore him into
the house, grooming little Spanish phrases to
fort him.
The thought of the evenings pleasure had become
such large part of Alessandros little life, that he
lay there in his mothers loving arms and thought
disappointment But gradually his eyelids dropped
his sobs became less frequent, and at last his sorrow
was forgotten in sleep.
Suddenly there sound Of heavy wheels in
the street, and voice called out:

Alessandro, thoroughly reused by the commo-

butterflies" huddled together the long seats
and they gaoped toward the pavilion his teacher
explained that the driver who to have gathered
the butterflies" had failed in his duty, and that,
the last moment, another omnibus had been procured
and sent after the little boys
When the dazed little band of black figures were
at last safely in the dressing-room glad welcome
went up from the young ladies who were to take
part in fo--er dance. Immediately there was much
eager hur-y;ng to fasten the large black-and-
yellow wings

Remember that the butterflies depend on their
leader" she cautioned, as she buttoned the little
jacket to which the wings were attached.
Alessandro rubbed his eyes very hard, and said
softly:
There angels here, aren't there?"
Pansy looked obviously at his heavy ewes but
the music had already begun, and she had to hurry
away.

storm breakers upon the beach. His eyes were
dazzled by the lights He hesitated the butterflies

umined face seemed to answer the flowers, sway

But little Prince Pinooziium always very good,
And, really, he behaved we'll anybody could;
AT school in all his classes he always at the
head.
While other pupils twice his sze were at the foot
instead
And when he grew to be man, Pinoozilum could
speak
Italian, Spanish, German, French. Hungarian, and
Greek;
And sums in mathematics he could quickly calculate,
And do them all within his brain, and
slate.
So little Prince Pnoozilum who very small.
Should be good example and pattern for you all;
And remember though you're little, you still
be good and wise,
For your learning and behavior don't depend upon
your size.
