READY FOR THE WORK
Efforts to Make Picnic at Luna Park
July 4th One of the Most Interest
ing of Season.

Mr. Worth Hulfish chairman of the
Board of Trustees Of the Hospital,
announced the following co.nmittees,
which was authorized by the trus-
tees:
Committee on Site-Robert S.
Jones. James r. Cation ,Carron
Pierce, A. D. Brockett and ". A.
Smoot, Jr.
Committee on Plans-G. L. Boothe,
| J Y. Williams Arthur Herbert, Jr.,
w. A. Moore, Jr.. and George D.
Hopkins.
With the above committees ap-
pointed and subscriptions amounting
to nearly $4,000 secured, the prln-
cipaI work of the Executive Commit
tee is not only successful, but near It's
completion, but they request that the
subscribers to the fund who have
sent in their pledges to be paid dur
ing certain periods will kincfy call
on the treasurer, Mr.. Arthur Her.
bert, care bank of Burke & Herbert,
and arrange their pledges IN COM
mercial form so that they can be
available in the purchase of land and
I! the erection of the hospital.
There is no desire on the part OF
the committee to inconvenience or
hurry the subscribers, but they as
business men and women, readily
comprehend the fact that paper IN
commercial form is available, While
IN the pledge form tney s;atnot &c
Immediately used.
It is further desired to impress
the fact that the committee is not
trying to hurry anyone in their pay
ment but desires them to remember
that it is almost impossible for the
treasurer to call upon everyone or
to employ some one to co so which
would mean an unnecessary expense
and therefore everyone who Will
either write or call on Mr.. Herbert
will aid very materially in simplify
ing the collections and the arrange
iluents of pledges add considerably
to their subscriptions. The treasurer
is very busy man and has given
time to the campaign, as every con-
tributor must appreciate, anc
; assistance rendered him will be high
" appreciated not only by him, but
by the Board of Trustees and EXecu'
tive Committee.
1t is impressed that no one is re-
ouested to pay their subscription:
until it is thoroughly convenient ane
agreeable to them, the only thing
i, that is wanted is to have these vari
Gus subscriptions in such shape tha
the hospital trustees can proceed tt
purchase the necessary land and con
tract for the erection of the building
at the earliest possible date.
Every >citizen of Alexandria is in
vited by the committee to go to Luna
. Park on the 4th of July. 1t will no
cost a penny to get in the ground
!, and and they are not obliged to spen'
cent after they get there, but 1t /
hoped that everyone who goes vii
have pleasant time. By going t
Luna Park to spend the Fourth, al
] who do so will have most delight
a full day in the shade, an
under the magnificent electric light
. at night, and if they desire a trip o.
y the flying horses, which will cost 2
= cents for five trips, or five dance:
while they will aiGi the hospital fun
to the entire amount Of this sun
There is plenty of shade and coo
3 water and an abundance of fur
= which cannot be secured anywher
