NO INTEREST CHARGED
ON LOANS TO NEEDY
Hebrew Free Loan Association
Appeals for an Increase
of Its Funds.

An appeal for funds to help in carrying
on It's work is being sent out today by
the Hebrew Free Loan Association. The
appeal states that the object of the So
ciety is to loan money to those in need
instead of giving aims and by doing SO
prevent them from becoming paupers."
Money is loaned by the association in
sums varying from S. to $25 to applicants
on notes Endorsed by responsible persons.
No interest is charged and the borrow
ers are put to no expense. They repay
the loans in weekly installments Of per
cent of the principal.
The appeal sent out by julius Baumgar-
ten, president of the association, states:
Two years ago. with a capital of 500,
we made loans amounting to over $1,000
which shows that the repayment Of per
cent a week enabled us to loan out our
money about three times in year, which
has also been our record for the past.
Our membership, besides covering our ex-
penses and unavoidable small losses, adds
yearly to our capital and this, with all the
money ever received for and in donations
and legacies, we still have today to be
loaned In perpetuity.
The vast amount of good we are doing
is being recognized far and wide. But
the demand for loans has increased far
out of proportion to the increase of our
capital, so that we have been compelled
at times to reduce the maximum amount
of loans. This has worked, hardship to
many deserving people, and it is to sat
isfy this growing demand that we appeal
for assistance.
Donations may be sent to and will be
officially acknowledged by julius Baum
garten, president 1905 Z street north
west; John Wolf, secretary, 1919 18th
street northwest; A. c. Bobys, treasurer,
JO7 18th street northwest"

WOULD SETTLE DISPUTE.
Scientists Want Relative Value Of
Different Milks Determined.

Resolutions asking the President to EN-.
power the Department of Agriculture and
the bureau Of public health and marine

value Of raw and pasteurized milk for
infant feeding were adopted at a meeting
of the committee on the study and pre-
vention of infantile mortality Of the Mon
day Evening Club held last night at the
home of DR.. George NJ. Kober, 1919 Q
street northwest. The meeting was at
tended by practically every scientist in
the District who is interested in the SUBJ
ject Of milk.
The resolutions stated that it is uni
versally recognized that milk is a COM
mon agent for the dissemination Of in
fictitious diseases. 1t was also stated that
it has been conclusiveiy shown that many
epidemics Of typhoid fever, diphtheria,
scarlet fever and other diseases are trace
able to contaminated milk, and that
enormous morbidity and mortality among
infants are due to various bacteria that
multiply in milk. The resolutions contain
a clause which says that many physicians
stick to raw milk for infant feeding,
Notwithstanding the benefits to be OBJ
tanned by pasteurization, because they be-
lieve pasteurization causes changes in
milk which are more Objectionable than
the dangers which it removes.

CHANNEL MARKS BATTERED.
Buoy OFF Jones Point Pushed Out OF
Position by the Ice.

The recent freeze on the Potomac, al
though not heavy one, was sufficient to
give the buoys and channel marks in the
river in the vicinity of this city rough
treatment. and to make them look as If
they had gone through a hard winter in
stead of through only a few weeks Of it..
The drift ice has cut every particle of
paint Off most of the buoys, and several Of
them look as if something had been chew
ing at them. The buoy off Jones' point, at
the south end of Alexandra, is missing,
and as there is a buoy in midchannel,
abreast Of the steel plant pier, that doesn't
belong there. 1t is thought by the river
men that this is the missing buoy which
was dragged out of position by the ice.
A buoy tender is expected to come here
within the next week to move the buoy
back to it's proper position. but no paint
ing or overhauling of the buoys will be
done until in the spring, when all danger
Of icemaking is over. The Jones point
buoy is said to be the only one that was
dragged out of position by the drift ice
in the December freeze.

way to Gettysburg.

The organization of Lincoln Memo
rial Road Association, to construct a
highway from Washington to Gettysburg
as a memorial to Abraham Lincoln, was
announced yesterday by Charles J. Gid
den. aeronaut and globe trotter, who has
three times travelled around the world.
The association will make every effort
to have the Lafean BILL providing for a

into law by Congress.

James T. McCieary Of Minnesota, presi-
dent: Charles ]. Glidden, secretary; Rob-
ert A. c. Smith of New York. treasurer;
Leslie T. Meteary of this city. execu-
Agitations for such a memorial high

mite steps have been taken. 1t is thought
that the highway will commend itself to
many persons in preference to the erec-
ton of costly monument to Lincoln.
