f0RB|G JOY RIDE
Help the Old Ladies Enjoy an
Outing on Thursday After
noon Next.

There will be sunshine all over WASH
ingtor next Thursday. Even If the
clouds hide the sun on that day, the
sunshine will be there just the same.
1t will shine into 300 hearts, and send its
rays into the lives of that many old
women whose daily existence is alto
gether too dark and dreary. You can
help on this sunshine proposition If
You are an automobile owner, or if
YOU know of any one who owns a car.
Borrow 1t for a few hours next Thurs
day afternoon and take load of old
ladies out for Joy ride.
More than 800 old ladies will be guests
at the automobile ride that has been
planned by The Times for that after
noon. All Of the institutions and homes
in the District of Columbia have been
communicated with, and acceptances
have been received by the above num-
Der. Out Of the Masonic and Eastern
Star Home, at Takoma Park, Md,
there are twelve old ladies who want
to 60 on the ride. but out of that num-
ber, only seven of them are able to
get into the city. and join the ride
from there. Isn't there some good
hearted Mason, who, remembering his
own mother. who cannot stand a street
car Journey, shall not be deprived of
the ride for that reason?
At the Baptist Home. there are eight
old ladies who have accepted the invi-
tation for next Thursday.
