Who TOOK THE

committee that they make state
ment of the money derived from

ago by the Portland fire depart
mont band. No one seemed to
know anything of the money. and
Commissioner Mills, red In the
face, asked Chief McAlevy If he
would Kindly investigate the mat
ter. Mills, City Clerk Edwards
and Capt. Thomas A. Fix com.
pose the board.
When the band came the Taco
ma firemen donated $57 from
their own pockets for expenses.
A total of 100 tickets were sold
at % cents EACH Immediately
after the concert the ticket box
was solen. Eighty per cent of
the money was to go to the PEN
sion board and 20 per cent to the
band. The money has never been
accounted for. Chief McAlevy

scenes" of the Times Christmas,
and be permitted to assist Santa
Claus in his Kindly mission.
The Times has decided to ask
for twelve women to assist Santa
Claus in his work. These Heuten-
ants of dear old Kris Kringle will
be really and truly allowed be-
hind the scenes of the most in
teresting Christmas they ever saw
In their lives. And any other Big
Brothers or Big Sisters in Taco
ma who wish again to renew their
childhood in fond remembrance Of
the Happy Day, will be invited by
the Times Santa Claus to take a
hand in the big event.
The poor Riddles of Tacoma
whose Christmas is uncertain
there are always many families in
large city that are reduced by
illness or lack Of finances to a
dreary outlook of the Happiest
Day in the Year-have been re-
quested to write to the Times
Santa Claus. Already letters from
the little tots have begun arriv-
ing for Santa. 1t is necessary,
first of all, to investigate all let
tiers and learn the nature of gifts
needed In each home.
Santa's lieutenants will be CIV
en- these letters. and may have
the privilege of hearing the pent-
up enthusiasm of the expectant
little ones. Santa's lieutenants
will collect for Santa Claus the
names and addresses of all poor
families reported to them. And
Santa Claus, through his special
lieutenants, will collect all dona-
lions of gifts or clothing and see
that they are distributed care
fully.
In this cooperative manner the
Times Santa Claus hopes to take
care of every tot in the city. 1t
is. only through the assistance of
the Fig Brothers and Big Sisters
of Tacoma that such feat can
be accomplished.

or children's clothing, are espe-

Is Tacoma a fine, benevolent
city of good, Christian soults, or
a selfish, self-centered commune
ity of unsympathetic persons?
Well, the Times Santa Claus
needed only one day in which to
find out. One glance at his mail
this morning was sufficient to let
him know that the true, gladstone
Christmas spirit pervades this
city in a most whole-hearted man
ner.
Yesterday Santa Claus an
nounced that he would maze
headquarters with the Times. He
declared that he would receive
letters from needy children of
Tacoma, and would promptly at
tend to all communications. He
said that on Christmas eve he
would go personally, in his brand
new automobile, to the homes of
every unfortunate child in Taco
ma who might otherwise miss the
Joy of merry Christmas.
And today letters were received
commenting the Times for its en-
ergy in securing Santa Claus to
take care of this special mission.
Several women of the city,
earnestly interested in the idea,
wrote and telephoned asking that

He is a great, stalwart chap.

Calvert began life as a per-
