BOY PREFERS HOSE TO TOYS:
VISITOR FINDS CASES OF Want


There is nothing in the world so
pititul as a half starved, lily clothed
child. but these little sufferers are to
be found in many a cheerless, miser-
able Richmond homes today.
1t is for their relief that The Pal
ladium is now undertaking to raise,
with the cooperation Of its readers, a
charitable fund from the proceeds of
the famous Chicago Tribunes Belgian
war pictures, TO be shown at the Muir
ray theatre today and tomorrow. both
afternoon and evening. When you pay
your quarter to see this wonderful
moving picture spectacle you will also
have the satisfaction of knowing that
1t is going to be spent to bring Christ
mas happiness to some shivering little
chap. who lives in your own city and
who Is as badly in need Of assistance
as any youthful victim of the terrible
European war.
Workers Find Needy.
You say that you cant believe there
are children in Richmond who have in
sufficient clothing to keep them warm
and without enough food to nOuriSh
them? Well, then, glance at this
record of one local charitable worker
in one days time:

"Pretty," remarked Carrie Perfido,
one of the smallest of the six hundred
children from the Whitewater and
Fairview schools, as they filed out Ill
orderly ranks from the Murray theatre
at noon, where they had witnessed the
wonderful Chicago Tribune moving
pictures of the Belgian war.

again, her black eyes round as moons
with excitement, but sometimes | got

girls haven't any papas now. have

This little Italian-American in her
childish way expressed the collective
opinion of the enthralled audience who
attended this mornings exhibition or
the remarkable films.
Children NonpIussed.
Witnessing the Belgian war 'mov-
les" was more than an ordinary event
for Carrie, for she frankly admitted

Marlowe also admitted he had never
seen a movie before He could not

find use for his tongue. which, his
teacher says, is ordinarily very glib
one.

this forenoon's exhibition of the Bel

ed this afternoon and evening and to-
morrow afternoon and evening, Muir

Other guests of The Palladium this
morning were Mayor Robbins and a
number of other city officials. quite a
few ministers and several business
and professional men. All expressed
| their delight with the unusual specta-
Gle they witnessed.
Pictures Are Clear.
The pictures are all that has been
| claimed for them, being particularly
| clear and distinct. although many OF
the views were undoubtedly taken un-
der most unfavorable circumstances
and at great risk to photographer
Weigle. Burning cities. artillery in
action, troops digging trenches and
going into action under fire, miserable
refugees fleeing from their ruined
! homes and other phases of the horrors
of war are shown in dramatic, thrill
ing sequence.
These films perhaps never had a
more interested and appreciative au
, dience than The PaIladium's little
guests who witnessed them this morn

found along the route there are many
curious things TO be seen on every
hand Here and there are located the
ruins OF Veritahle feudaI mansions that
were erected in the days Of Spanish
control OF Mexico when Texas was a
part of that country. Originally, much
OF the land along the Rio Grande was
embraced in vast Spanish owned estates
which had been granted, perhaps. by
the crown. These teudal lords erected
great rambling homes OF stone. With
the passing OF the years the wealth
passed from these original owners and
their landed possessions were divided
up and have fallen largely into the
permitting the once handsome build
ings TO fall into state Of ruin. Many
are the thrilling and romantic stories
that are told Of these abandoned
homes by the supersuuous natives,
Government Needs the Road.
Ever since Texas was annexed to the
United States the federal government
has been confronted with the problem
of maintaining law and order along the
Rio Grande. One Of the great handi-
caps in dealing with the rowing bands
Of distuFbers of the peace has been
the lack of good roads for the move
ment Of troops and military supplies.
This has been badly felt during this
last protracted trouble with Mexico.
With the adoption by the war depart-
ment of motor trucks and automobiles
for military service. the necessity for
a first class highway that will make
every part of the river territory ac-
cessible has become more pronounced.
Several army motor trucks were sent
to the border as an experiment about
year ago and they have proved
themselves highly servieeable in the
transportation Of supplies from Fort
Mcintosh to the remote camps Of the
military patrol stations between La
redo and Brownsville.

Realizing that the work OF measur-

roads and city streets can be carried
on much better and more accurately
for the automobile traffic by using a
motor car in place OF horse drawn ve-
hicles. the government has purchased
Wlnton Six. with a special body,

tests.

condition, from the city pavement 10

vehicles have proved inadequate 20 the
needs Of the observers, and in their
place the car Is now doing the work.
The dynampmeter is mounted on the

clally constructed body OF the surrey
type The drivers seat accommodates
three persons, while behind il is the
instrument board and desk. Two
seats are provided in the rear for the
operators. The body is entered by
steps at the rear.
The mechanism installed in the car
records the power delivered on the
driving shaft. the speed of the car, the
distance travelled and the time con-
sumed over any given condition OF
road with a given load Two observ-
ers and two operators often take
notes on the conditions Of the high
way. and check and compare their a.
