The Associated Charities Meeting.

At the annual meeting of the Associ-
ated Charities tonight reports will be
made of a work that enlists the sym
pathies and cooperation of all the peo-
pie of the District. work that has been
successful for years and is increasingly
valuable to the community as time per-
mits perfection of organization. Public
confidence has been established in the
Associated Charities through successive
seasons of practical endeavor to relieve
suffering, and to cure the causes of pow
erty and privation. A better understand
ing has come to prevail throughout the
District regarding the main object of
what is known as organized charity
work. and in consequence the results
scored are more lasting and make more
definitely for the welfare of the COM
munity. Year by year this organization
has perfected methods of economic edu-
cation and supervision until the degree
of what may be called preventable suffer
ing has been reduced to a minimum.
Given sufficient funds for all branches of
the work the Associated Charities is able
to insure to every person in the District
of Columbia a sufficiency of food, cloth
ing and shelter. and. Furthermore, to as
sure the givers of money that their dol
lars will be used not merely as aims, but
for constructive purposes. The first OBJ
ject of the Associated Charities is to fos-
ter self-reliance. and the last object is to
give funds or supplies. The old concept
of charity has been fortunately sup
planted by a newer and more wholesome
principle of succor. Those who are in
need are regarded as suffering from an
economic disease and are treated accord
ingly, with the idea of restoring them to
full health This is accomplished by a
sympathetic investigation into their cot-
dition, by assistance in obtaining en-
ployment, by the encouragement of thrift,
by the extension of practical aid in emer-
gencies. by preventing extravaganza and
particularly by avertng patronage of
Insurers, who always take their toll in
fullest measure from the poor. To the
extent that this work is supported not
merely by donations, but by encouraging
sympathy and understanding, it succeeds.
and it is to be hoped that tonights meet
ing will demonstrate that Washington in
dorses this endeavor to the fullest extent.

Mexican DEVELOPMENTS.

The evacuation of Chihuahua by Mexi-
can federalS and the announcement that
the constitutionalist army under Villa is
to advance on Mexico City may be taken
as indications that Huerta's DAYS as die
tator are numbered. The cumulative
force of successive victories by opponents
of his regime must be felt at the cap.tal.
and it will be surprising if he holds his
own forces in line many weeks Ii is
evident that he is no longer served loyaI
ly by the members of his own ministry.
despite frequent changes of personnel as
he has replaced disaffected ministers with
others. Signs are not wanting that a
feeling prevails at Mexico City that ulti
mately Huerta must fall and that this
will probably be the happiest solution of
the republics difficulties
Yet ii Is not without uneas.ness that
this tendency of events in Mexico is noted
in the United States. The replacement
of Huerta by Carranza will not ueces
sarily permanently solve the problem. SO
far as this country is concerned, for il
does not follow that the new executive
established by force of arms in revolu-
ton. can lay stable foundations for con-
stitutional government. 1t is nece ssary
to reckon with the more warlike Villa
rather than with the conservative Car
rama, and in the final adjustment of
this crisis at Mexico City the military
leader may become himself a factor of
disturbance. However, il is not desira

The abolition of the annual reception
at the White House is another wise act
of Woodrow Wilson. Since the time Of
George Washington custom has existed
for the public to form in line and shake
the hand of the chief executive. During
Roosevelts term the line often stretched
entirely through the front yard to the
gate opposite the Lafayette statue on
Jackson Square. On one occasion Mr.
Cleveland shook hands with more than
1000 people on a New Years day Mr.
Taft was very obliging also. 1t is per-
fectly proper that the members of the
diplomatic corps and the cabinet should
pay their respects, but the line should
sentatives ought to keep away from the
White House on that holiday; it should
be the one occasion of the whole year in
which the President would not be
"boned" for appointments. Another ad-
vance l sincerely hope to see Mr.. Wilson
make will be the stoppage of weekly
handshakings at the door of the east
room While they enable tourist parties
to return to Spodunk and say they have

and money could not be put to better
use than to provide for the care and up
keep of the schools in this capacity. With
the school plan placed. under the proper
regulations, at the disposal of the citi-
zens Washington would be a healthier,
happier, better city. The school authori-
ties recognize this principle and the meet
ing last night properly ensured the CO.
operation of the board of education in
the framing of the bill to grant the widest
possible use of the school plant without
infringing upon the Jurisdiction of that
responsible body.
The other bill calls for the creation of
board of public recreation having con-
troll of recreation centers, Fairgrounds
and public baths. Such an organization
has been long needed to correlate the
various facilities afforded and to work for
their enlargement The recreation sys-

people. The successful work of the board
of charities suggests that a recreation
board will serve Washington with excel
lent results.

operation which argues we'll for the plan
of assembling representatives of all sec
tons of the capital and the suggestion
that this become an annual occurrence

Open the Windows.
From the Chicago Journal,


He who sleeps with his windows closed
makes his bed in a coffin. There is no
reason to be surprised when tubercu-
losls comes along and fastens down the
lid If all mankind could live out of
doors all the time, and not too closely
together, tuberculosis would die out i'm
one or two generations. Since this ideal
condition cannot be achieved not even
for the sake of battling humanity's worst
enemy, the next best thing is to bring
as much out of doors as possible into our
houses. and especially into our sleeping
rooms
There is nothing which so quickly
lowers vitality to the point where the
tubercle bacillus can get in its work as
breathing stale. close. lifeless, impure
air during the hours of sleep. Their. is
nothing which builds up the resisting
powers of the body more quickly than an
abundant supply of fresh air. particularly
at night. If sleeping out of doors will
cure consumption, as it has done many
time, surely 1t will go far toward keep
ing healthy person from getting con
sumption. 1t Is not always possible for
city dwellers to take their beds out of
doors, but, at least, they can open win
