When tbc matter OF communal Christmas tree

tree broached, the question OF funds needed
the most serious one that confronted the pro-
poucnts Of the plan In fact, doubt expressed
IN quarters that with the ordinary holiday strain
pulling hard upon the private purse enough money
could be raised TO finance properly the communal
Christmas tree project II vas recognized that
the largest items Of expense would be the suitable
Electrical illumination OF the immense tree With
that PAL out Of the fund in sight IL would leave little
the purchase Of other needed decorations and tho

holiday longing the juvenile benedciaries Of the
big Yuletide function
Finally il was suggested that someone go to Thomas
w Wilson. vicepresiden of 'ho Wilmington al Phil
adephia Traction Company and what his corpora
tion would contribute toward the expense of the
munal tree That course was adopted AS soon as It
had been explained to him that the expense Of wir-

short the funds needed for the purchase OF presents
for the poor children. he announced that all the
pense Of that elcgtrcal work and current would be
contributed gladly by the corporation Of which he is
the local head. The committee thanked him. for the
handsome gift. so graciousy made the communal

tation, that the corporation in Which he holds such
responsible position has a SOUL and big one, es-

The question naturally presents itself How many
OF those who hold the creed that corporations have
no souls will give to that communal Christmas tree

Tn the matter Of appointing members of the Della

Supreme Court have made splendid selections The
first important duty of the commissioners will be to
appoint Inspector TO to it that the provisions
Of the Child Labor law obeyed. That inspector
will take the place OF the State factory inspector

The commission is important one. II should do
much for the protection OF the childhood our State
against conscionless employers and avaricious or

gives reasonable assurance that the law will be en-
forced strictly in all three counties.
