WANTS GIFTS TO POOR
CHILDREN MAILED FREE
Miss Olive Wilson Here to In
terest Officials in New
Christmas Plan.

II believe that all Christmas presents
addressed to poor children should be
transported through the mails free Of
charge. and have come to Washington
to request the President or the Post
master General to issue an order which
will permit this"
Such was the statement made today by
Miss Olive May Wilson Of Jenkintown.
Pa. a suburb Of Philadelphia. a young
charity worker still in her teens. who is
staying at the New Willard. The chief
object Of her mission in this city Is to
get the Post Office Department to deliver
free Of cost some 5000 or more presents
to the poor children of Philadelphia
But Miss Wilson says she sees no rea-
son why the department should not trans
port without charge Christmas presents
to poor children In every city. Assisting
her in her work is Miss Anna v. Evans.
a young society woman of Philadelphia.
They are accompanied here by Mrs. Nor
ris Walmsley.
Hopes to Send 5000 Gifts.
Miss Wilson says she has gathered to-
gether the names Of 5000 poor children
residing in Philadelphia to whom she
wants to send presents. Money with
which to purchase the presents is being
contributed by business men and well-to-
do residents Of that city. she said. She Is
anxious that the presents be delivered by
mail because Of the thousands Of letters
sent to Santa Claus through that me-
dunn.
"If a poor child writes to Santa Claus
and posts the letter he does not expert
ence the same delight II present Is de-
livered to him by some person that he
does when the postman brings 1t. That's
why want the Post Office Department to
transport them free of cost"
Miss Wi son Is opposed to the practical
present as a Christmas gift for poor chill
dren. She says presents for this class Of
other playthings.
the hearts of such children. not shoes
clothing"
Act Of Congress Necessary.
Neither Miss Wilson nor her friends,
1t was stated at the Post Office Depart
ment this afternoon. had yet called
there in regard to her mission. The
cost OF transporting all mail matter is
definitely fixed by law. and the Post
master General Is without authority
to change It. Any movement, there
fore, looking to the free transportation
and delivery by mail Of Christmas
gifts for poor children must first be
authorized by act Of Congress before
t can be effective.

Coming back to the bridge again. Mr.
Adriaans was pressed by members of

States should pay half of the cost.
Representative Caraway of JonesborO
was particularly impetuous In his ex-
pressions of disgust at the present law.

stated that the wiping out Of the half

toward the dissolution of the states?"
Does Not Care Who Pays.
Mr.. Adriaans stated that sometimes he
agreed with The Star and sometimes
he did not. He endeavored to get back
to the bridge subject by saying that
he would not care personally whether
the bridge was paid for by the District
of Columbia in the manner prescribed
by law or by the private individuals
whose property would be benefited.
Representative Caraway made another
attempt to see the light by asking why
people in Alaska or California should
be made to pay for bridge for the
District of Columbia. He said, with
considerable disgust. that 1t was
wrong. Later. privately. he expressed
himself In much stronger terms when
asked whether he would be as strong
ly opposed to appropriating money for
post offices in his own district.

said. (which was practically gift of

When she upbraided her husband for
his indiscretion, Mrs. Lanston says. he
not only admitted he had discovered his
affinity but tried to persuade the wife
TO sanction the new friendship. Mrs.
Lanston tells the court he attempted to
justify his request with the suggestion
that such relationships are deemed free
from moral objection among many Euro
pean people," AS a result OF her refusal
to countenance the alleged "Soui-mate
proposition" the wife states. on their
arrival a, New York Mr.. Lanston refused
to accompany her and the children to
Washington and announced his intention
to return TO Belgium. never to see her
again.
The wife learned that the husband pro-
posed to visit this city last night and
secured Attorneys Mcneil & Mcneil to
prepare the separation papers and cause
the detention Of Mr. Lanston until he
had made provision for his family.
Attached to the petition Of Mrs. Lans-
ton are two letters. alleged to have been
written by her husband to "Margot. Ia
belle" Many terms OF endearment and
assurances OF love and alteration for the
girl are used throuchout the m.ssive.

TALKS ON THRIFT
A BACKWARD AND A FORWARD
O0K

"There is no cause that l know of that
works so much on conscientious man
who loves his wife and his children as
the prospect of leaving them helpless in
the world and dependent on others; and
there is nothing comparable to the relief
from this ry."-William II. Taft.
At the end of the year business men
ast up their accounts in order to find out
their true financial condition.
1t is not a bad idea for others, especially
parents. to do likewise in regard to their
personal finances.
Are you further ahead in that respect
now than you were at the end Of last
year?
Money in the bank at the close of the
year is a good measure of your success
in material things. Have you as large
savings account as you should and could
have?
Extra money beyond that required FOR
living expenses is buffer against hard
ship and misfortune. So if you would rot
be forever crushed between the upper ard
neither mill stones of poverty, you must
save systematically from the income OF
your working years.
But it is possible in this day of oppor-
tunity to do much more than just escape
being poor. You can become rich II you
really want to. The world has by no
means exhausted the opportunities for
men of limited means, but the right kind
of determination.
Money begets money But the people
who are without capital and who some
times complain bitterly against those who
have, frequently forget that the original
nucleus for mems fortunes cost immense
sacrifices on the part of the owners.
If you have declared yourself no divi-
dend for the year 1918 in the shape of
money saved from your income, turn your
face toward the coming year and plan to
do better for yourself and those who are
dependent upon you In 1914.
Some persons are inclined to regard New
Years resolutions lightly, but, as a rule,
they do not ridicule the resolutions them
selves, but make fun of those who fail to
keep good resolutions made.
One of the most sensible New Years
resolutions that anyone can make is to
save money systematically and deposit it
regularly in the bank. 1t is a double-bsr-
relied resolution because its fulfillment
means stronger character as well as in
creased resources.
Make 1t and keep it, and get your share
of the $120 1000 interest paid to deposit
tors every year by the savings banks Of
the United States.
