One thousand pairs of shoes. for one
thousand war orphans of Europe
boys. girls and even the babies, whose
fathers have been killed in battle-is
the contribution of the employees of the
patent office to the cargo of The Stars
Christmas ship.
One thousand pairs of little feet to be
kept off the cold ground during the
winter because of the -heartedness
of the women and men who work in
the patent Office. This contribution sets
the pace for other departments, bu-
reaus and divisions of the government.
The idea of contributing to the car
20 of the Christmas ship originated
in arcorner of the assignment division
on day, when several of the woman
employees broached the question of do
ing something for the war orphans.
The sanction of Secretary Lane of the
Interior Department and of Commits
sioner Ewing of the patent Office wa:
given as soon as the idea was ex-
planned, the Secretary and the commits
sioner sending personal letters to en-
ployes enthusiastically indorsing the
plan.
Then subscription papers were sent
around, and the fund began to grow.
After considerable discussion it was
decided" that the patent Offices contri-
button should be shoes. Many of the
employees of the office are men of family.
and these knew the needs of growing
