How to extend their Office hours at theil
teight stations is a question which mem.
berS Of the board OF managers Of the As.
| sociated Charities are puzzling over
There is a decided demand for this serv.
ice. but the board thus far has not seen
| its way clear to become responsible for
! the additional expense involved. The
| matter was again considered at q meet.
ing. held yesterday afternoon at the gen.
eral ofice. 923 H street northwest. As a
partial solution Of the difficulty it was
decided that the Offices open an hour
| earlier and be kept open half an hour
| longer than hitherto. Hereafter these
hours will be from 10 to 1 instead OF from
II to 1880 o'clock.
In the discussion at the meeting, the
board felt that this did not solve the
difficulty. for extending the ofiice hours
without additional clerical assistance,
means taking the workers away from
| their most important duty in the field
that Of visiting in the homes OF families
being dealt with.

Demands Heavy.
The reports from the workers for the
month OF December showed unusually
heavy demands, due in part to the extreme
cold and blizzard conditions which pre-
vailed during that month. Thus. the re-
lief disbursements from the special relief
funds Of the Associated Charities were
81 ,15AS0, while the disbursements from the
Citizens Relief Association for food. fuel,
clothing and sick diet amounted to $sN. 49,
a total for material relief Of se,136.,s
This Is said to be the first time in which
the relief disbursements from the special
funds of the Associated >CharNies at this
season of the year have exceeded those
Of the Citizens Relief Association. This
is due in part to the disbursement Of
funds, specially given to the society for
Christmas toys, dinners. clothing. and
other presents.
The secretary's report for December
showed the following: Number Of families
dealt with. loss; number Of different
families given relief, 543: persons secured
work. permanent or temporary, 10; legal
aid. institutional care. and medicacl help,

The annual meeting of the Washington
Humane Society was held at the Shore
ham Hotel yesterday afternoon when tn.
election Of officers was held. prior to the
recording of reports from the ,ariou.
committees.
President Walter Stilson Hutchins, ir
his address, advocated the continuance
OF the present policy Of the society Il
educate the horse owners and drivers
Of the future in value of kindness to
animals mtrusted them. by organ anizins
bands Of mercy in the public schools
with the permission of the board Of edu-
alton.
This work, which was begun last April,
has already extended to about one-half OF
the schools Of the District. with the re.
suit that there have been organized e4l
bands of mercy with =. +6s members.
Solution of Problem.
President Hqtchins declared that the
problem facing the society for this year
is how to rid the Capital of the infirm
and worn-out horses already here, which
makes Washington the object Of un-
sparing criticism by visitors to whom
such sights are AZ unfamiliar they are
offensive. Education along the lines OF
humanity was the only remedy, he said
which makes it plain to the owner that
the well-cared-for animal Is a great deal
more useful than a half-starved. beaten
horse. is the only way to deal with the
question.
President Hutchins said that at least
twenty-five paid agents were needed for
the District, whereas but nine are en-
ployed now. He said the trouble lies in
the fact that Washington takes the HUI
name Society and its work for granted
and gives itself no furter concern about it.
According to the secretary's report. go
broken down animals were put to death.
During the year 1.2A complaints were
received and investigated; 1oo45 animals
were examined. and l. 233 cases Of cruelty
were prosecuted in the Police Court. con-
victions being obtained in LIZ of them.
At the close of 1910 the society had 325
members The results of the election
