FELL TWENTY FEET

Frank Symes, employed as car
penter, fell twenty feet from near
the top of one of Schwalan's ice
houses to the ground Tuesday aft
ernoon and was badly injured. He
was doing carpenter work on the
outside of the building when the
staging upon which he was stand
ing broke and he was hurled to the
ground. Luckily, pile of lumber
on the staging missed him in the
fall. His face was severely cut. his
left arm sprained and his back pain
fully hurt. A cut oyer his upper lip
and another just below his lower lip
both extend from cheek to cheek
and are very deep into the flesh. AL
though the face cuts will probably
leave scars, it is not thought prob
able that he will suffer any further
permanent effects from the acct
dent.

HELP THE STARVING BELGlANs
a Christmas Appeal.
To The Editor.

10 tQ6 EIIlDIt
Dear Sir,-Christmas approaches
and to quote the Presidents Thanks
giving Proclamation, it has been
vouchs afed to US to rem ain at peace
with honor The duty and the
privilege remain Of averting starva
ton among the Belgian refugees
this winter and for this special pur-
pose the Dollar Christmas Fund
has been organized.
It is estimated to date that ali
the help subscribed in America
and it has been very liberal-includ
ing the aid of the wealthy Rockefel-
Ter foundation, does NOT average
more than a few cents for each des
titute Belgian enough to buy food
for few days!
The Dollar Christmas Fund has
one great ambition-to see that
every man. woman and child this
Christmas shall have food, cloth
ing, shelter. This great achieve
ment is happily still possible and
to this end we are working with the
Christmas Fund of London which
has collected for the same purpose
nearly 100000 The cooperation
Of the two organizations has MANY
decided advantages. 1t provides
safeguard against waste from over
Tapping. 1t enables our Fund to
enjoy the guidance of members of
the Belgian government as regards
the distribution of relief. All our
workers are voluntary and every
cent subscribed, after deductinQ
the cost of stamps and st ationery,
GOES direct to the Belgians.
&. Even if you have given to every
other fund we beg you In the name
Of humanity to assist the Christmas
Fund for which | appeal as Treasur
er. Help to send a Christmas gift
worthy of America-a tribute of
sympathy from one people to anoth-
er whose needs and sorrows are i'm
measurable.
If you realize that millions are
literally faced with starvation, that
children are still crying for food,
shelterless women dragging their
weary way to help, that aged men
are homeless and shivering- land
this despite all that is being done
you will give before Christmas and
give literally.
England has received 100000 of
the refugees but there are unnum-
bered thousands still wandering in
France and Holland, besides those
in stricken Belgium.
A fresh inspiration to our own
peaceful Christmas in America will
be lent if we relieve now the suffer
ings of innocent little children, un-
offending women and aged men and
you may rest assured that no mans
Christmas Day will be the less hap
Ply because in some cases the gift
may entail some measure of person
al sacrifice.
Let US remember at this crisis
that to pity distress is but human;
to RELIEVE it is Godlike "
All contributions entrusted to me
as Treasurer will be promptly and
thankfully acknowledged. S en- d
along your dollar-more if you can.
Yours very truly,
HENRY CLEws,
Treasurer, Dollar Christmas Fund
for Homeless Belgi ans, Broad ST.,
New York.
