The Annual Sale.
At the present time, Neighborhood
House is preparing for the annual ex-
hibition and sale Of the articles made by
the industrial classes, from December 4
to 9, Inclusive Hand weaving, metal
work, sewing, and art dyeing comprise
the classes of articles to be shown. The
young women of the Mount Vernon
Seminary held their annual Christmas
sale yesterday for the benefit of the
House free kindergarten,
and it was most successful. Ever since
the settlement was established, the SEM
mary girls have co-operated with the
alumnae in supporting the kindergarten.
In the characteristic spirit of the
House, Homecoming week WIS cele-
brated ten days ago. the occasion being
the tenth anniversary of its foundation.
A delightful series of social, literary,
dramatic, musical, and club events We're
given The three charter clubs, the Key
stone, the Girls Peace, and the Woman's,
Club, assembled with their full original
and no stronger proof Of
the solidarity of Neighborhood House
could be given.
"Our plans for the coming season can
not be announced at the present time"
says Mrs. Clara D. Neigh, secretary of
the House. I'VE plan, Of course, gen.
eral campaign for the raising Of the
necessary finances. When 1t is considered
that only $500 year is necessary for
thu maintenance Of Neighborhood House,
Il will be seen how nearly we are self
supporting, and how strong and abiding
Is the help we receive from those about
u.s. There are fifty-two volunteer work
ers, and practically all of the atmosphere
Of Neighborhood House comes from that
spirit of personal service which money
could not buy, and which is given to US
free. There Is such an excellent CO.
operative spirit between the residents of
the southwest, whom we serve, and those
with the management Of
House, that the work
progresses and developes almost inde-
pendently of the finances"

ENGLISH LIKE TEA;
AMERICANS COFFEE
Consumption of These BeV-
erages Is Increasing.

Americans are the greatest coffee
the greatest tea drinkers. The consump-
ton Of tea in the United Kingdom in 1903
aggregated 2S3. S3O, 900 pounds, and in 1910
2S6, So, 900 pounds. The average consump-
ton per individual was $50 pounds in
1910, as against 6.37 pounds in 1909.
The consumption per individual, how
ever, in 1909 was greater for both Aus
tralia and New Zealand than for the
United Kingdom, being 6.S3 pounds and
rs pounds, respectively. The average
consumption per individual in the Do
minion of Canada, says Consular and
Trade Reports, in 1903 was 443 pounds
and in 1910 4.34 pounds.
In the Netherlands the average con-
sumption per individual in 1909 was 1.7S
pounds and in 1910 II was POI pounds
CprovisionaD. In the German empire
land Luxembourg in 1909 the average con-
sumption per person was OIL pound
and in 1910 1t was oil pound. In France
in 1903 it was 007 pound, and in 1910 0.07
the figures were LA pounds in 1903 and
0.S9 pound in 1870
The consumption Of coffee in the United
Kingdom in 1910 was %, $4,000 pounds,
or an average of O.65 pound to the indi-
vidual. This was slightly less than in
1903, when the average consumption was
0.67 pound. In almost all other parts Of
the British empire there was less coffee
consumed per individual in 1910 than in
1909. In the latter year statistics are not
given for 1910 there was an average
consumption per individual in South AZ
RIGA, however, of nearly pounds.

NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE IS REACHING
A NEW PERIOD OF HELPFULNESS
Social Settlement in the Southwest Now Has
Ten Full Years of High Success
to Its Credit.

"One-half of the world does not
know how the other half lives" ex-
claimed one disheartened philanthropist
not so many years ago. Between the
rich and the poor he saw a solid, inn
penetrable barrier, making sympathy and
mutual helpfulness impossible. But his
pessimism did not reckon with the ag-
gressive spirit of altruism in this coun-
try, an altruism which is neither OBJ
trusive nor animated with any motive
of acknowledgements, and which is
chiefly concerned with giving and not
with the show of giving.
The social settlement movement in the
United States, now making so rapid an
advance, is more subtle and more gentle
than charity and more concerned with
developing self-hope among the poor
than coping with cases of distress. Its
work is inspirational and personal
HULL HOUSE IN CAPITAL.
Here in Washington we have an ex-
cial settlement can be and what it ought
to be. Neighborhood House is the oldest
and the largest settlement in the city.
BY decade of substantial work in the
southwest it has proved itself and justi-
fled its right to existence. To-day it is
on the threshold of a new development
Of its powers and OF its scope. 1t is the
true Hull House of the Capital
From all parts of the city its workers
cOme-volunteer workers-young women
who devote a few hours of leisure each
week to the true privilege ffentering
into the lives of fresh, unspoiled young
folks and shaping them into good. strong
citizens. They are not diletantes or
Summers" or curiosity seekers, these
young women; they come to work, to
radiate their personality, to give them
selves to a task which is truly inspir-
ing.
Neighborhood House welcomes them all.
There is always work for them to do.
The supply of children is always in
Creasing. They come to Eeighborhood
House because 1t has won their con-
f1dence, because they know it is a social
nucleus for their busy lives, because
that fine and cherished pride of the poor
IN their own independence is never vio-
lated. Neighborhood House is not a
charity: ii does not distribute aims 1t
gives something which is more precious
than that-persOnality, personal service.
But ii asks a price for what it gives. 1t
is partly self-supporting, and this gives
it character and stability.
Charles F. Weller once wrote this def
milton of a social settlement, and it still
stands as a classic of its kind:
Outline of Work.
"A social settlement is primarily a
private residence, the home of a family

on the religious life Of the older boy, de-

"A boy is not a larger child or a little

TT must be idealistIc, for the boy Is

the boy is a social being, as he shows
in the workings of the gang instinct and
boys clubs The religion of a boy is
not like the experience of a man."

ion Forward Movement as a means of

First Lieutenant, Signal Corps n. G. d. G.
That aviation will be gone into by the
District Militia is an assured fact. Lieut..
B. D. Foulois, U. s. A, recently de-
tailed as inspector-instructor of the Ma
| tional Guard of the United States, is
authority for the statement. Definite
plans, however, have not yet been drawn
up.
With Lieut.. FouloIs' headquarters in
Washington, and with the aviation field
at College Park, Md, within easy reach,
| the District brigade will be especially
fortunate. Several officers and men not
only Of the local Signal Corps company,
but Of the infantry organizations. have
announced their eagerness to become
pupils.
1t was explained by Lieut.. FouIois yes
terday that great care will be exercised
in the selection of students in aviation
Most of those chosen will be officers.
| The principal reason fer this, he ex-
planned, is on account of the inclination
Of enlisted men, having become expert
aeroplanists, to go into the professional
field.
Until the plans are announced by the
division OF militia affairs for the par
ticIpation of the National Guard in avi-
alton. the matter will not be taken up
by the local militia authorities.
The District brigade has been espe-
cially fortunate in obtaining the services
of Capt. James NJ. Love, jr.. Fifteenth
Infantry, L. 8. A, as an instructor. He
has nghtened the work Of Capt. ]. B.
Allison, U. S. A, the inspector-instruc-
tor, and is conducting some Of the Of
ficers' schools of the Second Regiment
and of the First Separate Battalion.
Capt. Love, who is on detail in the
division Of militia affairs, has been as
signed to his present work temporarily.
He was formerly adJutant general OF the
District Guard, and Is well known to the
older officers. He said yesterday that
he was immensely pleased to be back
again and declared that he has always
taken a great interest in the brigade,
which he believes to be one of the best
in the country.
