Membership Three Kinds.
1t is probable that the membership
of the association will be divided into
three kinds. active and non-active, for
adults. and children's league. The
active members will be expected to
take up the active work Of the or
ganization and give substantial support
to its undertakings: the non-active
members will be required only to sig
Nifty their willingness to "use care
and to teach the need of care to their
children and other persons with whom
they come in contact.
The children's league, it is believed,
will be one of the most important fea-
lures of the organization. 1t is planned
to have membership blank or pledge
for the children, which they will sign

Many Children Contributed.

Assistant Scout Commissioner Wood
stated last night that the handwriting OF
large number of the envelopes indicated
that great portion Of the contributions
were made by children. Many envelopes
were received containing amounts as
small as 1 cent and there were several
which contained checks of from $40
to $50.
In a number of the envelopes collected
by the scouts were found notes from con-
tributors expressing their approval of the
movement for a new Emergency Hos
pital. In an envelope containing a con-
tribution Of 81 collected by a member of
the Y. NJ. c. A. troop note of unusual
interest was found. 1t was signed by
Charles E. Johnson and reads as follows:
IF it were possible / would willingly

being a man Of wealth and having just
lost a wife by death. who was kindly
treated at the Emergency Hospital this

Will Accomplish Good.
That the organization which has been
started will be able to accomplish an in
estimable amount of good, was the belief
expressed by Mr.. Peabody in a brief ad-
dress which he made, outlining the scope
which the organization might acquire.
Just look what great amount of good
has been done by the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals he said
twenty years ago person walking
along the street and seeing a horse being
beaten would have taken it as a matter
of course. But now we know that it is
unnecessary and realize that it is wrong. )"
1t is hoped to secure the cooperation of
vehiclists as well as pedestrians in the
new organization. for, it is pointed out it
will serve their interests greatly through
hand the enforcement OF the law. in
which the association will cooperate

vehicle in a lawful manner.

with the overhanging balconies AMI the

little senoretas with musical voices that
atone for the lack of tinkling guitars

rebosas and black eyes.

REV. H. B. M'ELREE TALKS
The Male Quartet and Boys Or
chestra Will Furnish Pleas
Ing Music for the
Meeting.

The Sunday afternoon meeting at
the auditorium of the Young Mems
Christian Association will be held at
$3.50 o'clock in the afternoon to
which all men and all boys of the
proper age are cordially and specially
invited to be present. There was a
very large attendance last Sunday
afternoon and the address of Rev. H.
B. McElree of the United Presbyterian
church was listened to with The clos
est attention.
Next Sunday afternoon Mr.. McElree
will again address the meeting. He
is an entertaining speaker and the
attendance is expected and should
largely exceed that of the previous
Sunday.
The male quartet will present APP
propriate and carefully selected vocal
numbers and the boys orchestra will
do part in adding to the musical at
fractions of the meeting.
The Sunday meetings of the Young
Mems Christian Association in the
past have contributed largely to the
moral and religious activities of the
city and every effort is being made to
have them exceed even the record
they have made in the past Their
attractiveness have been improved
from time to time, SO that many who
attended occasionally have become
regular attendants. Each meeting
during the season will present new
and pleasing attractions and 1t is
hoped this fact will be borne in mind
and will be appreciated by the men
and boys of the city and that their
appreciation will be shown by con-
tinued and growing attendance.
