HOUSE TURNS DOWN
BILL TO AMEND
Continued from Page IL

BY vote OF $50 to II the House
.accepted the unfavorable report of
the committee on constitutional
amendments. The proposition was for
the House to pass the resolutions as
amended. It would then have been
published with the general laws and
would have come up for ratification
by a two-thirds vote at the next ses-
sion and if then passed would have
gone to the people.
The debate on the measure was
snappy with many members taking
part in it. The roll call was finished
at $3.50.
The suffragists who were in the gal
leries were keenly disappointed at the
outcome.

RUBBER BOOTS TOYS?
WELL, 1T DOESN'T MATTER
Because Three Children in Suburbs
Are to Have Them,
Anyhow.

Are rubber boots clothing or are they
toys?" This question, unimportant as it
may appear to the reader, is in reality of
the gravest interest to three children
whose home is an outlying section of the
District.
A man who was boy not so long ago
himself made contribution>to the As
ISOLATED Charities a few days ago with
the strict injunction that it be spent en-
tirely for toys for poor children who
otherwise would get nothing in the way
of Christmas presents except useful
things, but whose hearts pinned for dolls
and skates. The money was thankfully
received with this understanding and the
man thought the matter ended. Next
day. however one of the representatives
of the Associated Charities called at his
office and told him of this family, whose
home was surrounded by mud and whose
children invariably got to school with
feet wet through. The messenger said
that rubber boots were what they needed
and wanted.
But they are not toys" said the man.
Yes, but these children want rubber
boots more than anything else in the
world. They say they do. Doesn't that
make them toys?'
Nope. Boots are not toys. Boots
are clothing. However l will add on to
my original sum enough for three pairs
Of boots, and the question can remain
open.
We'll. are tools toys? We have boy
on our list with a good bit of mechanical
ability and he never in his life has owned
a decent tool of any sort. Would you
consider a set of tools for him toys?'
The man thought it over for minute.
Yes, go ahead. Tools are toys, all
right"

Christmas

Christmas is the gladstone day
when our cares are thrown away,
and, though spawned, old and
gray, we uprise, and upon the
children beam, playing like four
horse team. till we see the glad
ness CLEAN in their eyes. For a
day man shakes his years, and the
ancient chap appears playing with
the laughing dears on the floor !;
for day our hearts are thawed
by the warmth that's all abroad,
and we loosen up the wad we
adore. Far from all the business
grind. and the cares that warp the
mind. for a day we're good and
kind. full of glee; for a day we
make life good to our little neigh
borhood. for a day we're as we
should always be- We could bear
the Christmas heart in the work
day mill or mart, and from
grouchiness depart if we'd try;
we could wear the Christmas face
in our dingy trading place. letting
kindly smiles embrace passers-by!
Yes. of griefs we have a raft, but
away they might be laughed; we
could work this Christmas graft,
always, now, if we'd only try to
see how absurd our quarrels be,
and the Man of Galilee shows us
how. WALT MASON.

Burdens Shirked by Fathers.

There were widowed mothers there
with young boys who should have
known a merrier Christmas, and who
possibly would have enjoyed the day
much more had it not been for de-
serting father. One woman with four
children said she earned $40 a month
a charwoman, and that was all the
money the family had.
Nearly every boy who received an
overcoat in that store today is poor
because of circumstances SO far beyond
his control as to make him utterly
unable to help his plight. There was
only one boy who was without parents,
problem was much simpler than the
boys of fourteen who are the heads of
families consisting of a sick, widowed
mother and several younger brothers
and sisters. There was only one boy
there without a coat because of dull
times. His father has had an I'M
usually severe run of i'll luck with jobs,
and he is good workman at that.
All told, as the boys passed out of
the store with their mothers, it was a
story of bad luck. untold suffering
from cold and disease with a plentiful
sprinkling of the sorrows visited upon
the heads of the childrei who suffer
because of the sins of fathers How
ever, the firm of Saks & Co. did what
1t could to make little lighter the
burden of a hundred boys, chosen from
the poorest of the poor by the Asso-
ciated Charities

RULES ON W0RKHOUSE TUG.
Downey Holds Louise Is Part of
Manufacturing Plant.

The tugboat Louise attached to the
workhouse at Occoquan, Va, is part of
the manufacturing plant, and therefore
repairs to the vessel will be paid for out
of the fund OF $4,000 for fuel and repairs
TO that plant, and not out of the $4,000
appropriation for maintenance of the
workhouse and repairs, ETC. This is the
decision of George E. Downey, controller
of the Treasury, made public this morn
ing.
Because the tugobat tows barges, al
most exclusively, carrying supplies for
the manufacturing plant, a contention set
forth by the secretary to the board of
charities of the District of Columbia that
the tug was part of the manufacturing
plant was concurred in by Controller
Downey. He so decided and designated
the proper appropriation to which to
charge the Louise.

NEW OvERCOATS MAKE
HUNDRED BOYS HAPPY
Generosity of Saks & Co. Adds to
Christmas Cheer Of Poor
Children.

For the thirtieth successive Christmas
hundred poor boys were given fine,
warm listers today by Saks & Co. They
were hundred just such boys as would
melt the hard heart of the stoniest anti
Christmas advocate alive. They were
poor, pitiably poor, and. according to
those who have looked up their records
and their sufferngs, the gift of an over
coat was sorely needed by each and every
one of them.
For instance, there was a boy in the
store this morning who appeared clean
of face, and slick of hair and well
brushed as to his WORKOUT clothes, who
has been earning IS a month for ever
SO many months, and has in that way
been the only one of a family Of six to
earn a single cent for long time. Father

little brothers too small to work-that
was the drab outline of his life. His So
