PLEADS FOR COLORED
CHILDREN OF SOUTH
Booker T. Washington Asks Christ
mas Tokens, Particularly for
Those of Cotton Regions.

Booker T. Washington is making an
appeal for Christmas remembrance
for the colored children of the rural
districts of the south, especially in the
cotton region. In letter to The Star
he writes from the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial Institute, at Tuskegee,
Ala. of which he is the principal, as
follows:
II know something of how severely
the generosity of people throughout
the country has been taxed on account
of the suffering in Europe, but never
theless 1 have a feeling that there are
many who would count it a privilege
to provide some Christmas remem-
brance for negro children in the rural
districts of the south, especially in the
cotton regions. where there is likely
to be, not only nothing in the way of
ordinary Christmas gifts, but poverty
and suffering on account of the de-
pressed financial conditions growing
out of the European war.
Il shall be glad to be used. as In
other years. as a medium for the dis
tribution of such presents, through
small schools and otherwise, as may
be sent, and shall see that they reach
deserving children in wide sections of
the south

Northwest Winds Send Level Three
Feet Below Normal.

The high tides of the past ten days.
when the water on several occasions
went over the sea wall about the Potomac
Park, are being followed by almost as
correspondingly low tides following the
coming of the northwest winds Last
night and this morning the water in the
river was three feet below the normal
level, and it is expected on the low water
of this afternoon the flats along the
Georgetown channel and between this city
and Alexandria will be bare, and the
gulls and other aquatic birds will have
an opportunity to enjoy feast on the
fish left in the pools on the hats
The low water at Baltimore Saturday
last interfered with the launching OF
Dougherty's new barge Georgia, the
water not being high enough to allow her
to go overheard. AS soon as the tides
return to normal she will be launched.
