purpose of requiring these men to
be diligent in their efforts to secure

Under the Board Of Charities. the
effort is made to obtain employment

Larger Building Needed.
The Municipal Lodging House Is
under the direction of the superin-
tendent, A. H Tyson, and has ac-
commodations for fifty men. More
have been cared for under stress OF
weather conditions and on special
occasions. Men have slept on the
floors and benches at times, on ac-
count of lack of accommodations.
Ths municipal lodging house COM
roittee of the Monday Evening Club
endeavored to impress their views
upun Congress with view OF OBTAIN
ing a suitable appropriation for new
structure without success, but the
committee plans to organize next fall
a persistent campaign to secure
new plant commensurate with the
great work which 1t Is doing, and
has done so quietly and e1idently
for so many years. One Of num-
her of visiting Senators said that
the strongest argument in favor OF
a new lodging house WAS the present
one.
The committee thinks that the new
building should accommodate 800
men, women and boys, segregated.
Among other things there should be
a large waiting room, a dining room
where the maximum number Of
guests could be served, laundry,
and a modern sterilizer to free the
clothing from vermin and disease
germs. Now the clothing IL fumi-
gated daily with sulphur, which is
crude method. A new wood yard
with modern appliances is very nee
essary, where the inmates could saw
and split wood for all District and
Federal institutions, about l,5U0
cords annually. making the lodging
house partially yself-supporting. Under
the present condition wood cutting is
done in a yard twelve by fifteen feet,
Besides aiding these unfortunates
materially. many are given a new
start spiritually. Many a r1an dis
couraged or dissipated has been
made to see by Mr.. Tyson that there
is great deal of good in life, and.
with renewed hope and better view
of things, has started life anew with
good results.
