WOMEN GIVE DIMES

Partial reports of charity canvasSers
in the campaign of the central bureau,
indicates that $4,000 is still needed to
fill out the $1,000 for which the bureau
workers have solicited.
Mrs. Roach, manager of the financial
campaign, said today that much Of the
best territory in Richmond is un-

who started out Thursday morning
have not reported.
The pledges turned in by workers SO
far amount to $1,000 while Mrs. Roach
has in addition $685.. Cash was also
turned in at the Dickinson Trust com
pany.
| Few of the workers have said they
will stop working. Nearly all said
their territories could not be covered
properly in less than three days and
that they would work until they had
made every home.
The solicitors did not have difficulty
in securing money pledges for small
amounts but the big pledges and cash
gifts were few. Many who were
solicited discussed charity conditions
in Richmond and gave their reasons
for giving Or refusing.
Many Quakers said they are assist
ing worthy families in person. Ac-
cording to the secretary of the bureau,
the amount Of personal charity work
in Richmond is so large that few fam
lilies need go hungry.
A man who refused to give his name
for publication, secretly pledged him
self to furnish 100 children with shoes
and stockings on Christmas day.

been out of work for four months. gave

MAYOR REMEMBERS
POOR IN PREPARING
CITY XMAS TREAT
Robbins Plans to Repeat Mu-
nicipal CelebratiOn-Palla-
dunn to Aid With Proceeds
of War Pictures.

The poor kiddies of Richmond will
have no complaint to make after
Christmas that Santa Claus forgot
them.
Mayor Robbins said today that right
after Thanksgiving he would give his
attention to plans for a municipal
Christmas tree. which last Christmas
brought happiness to many ragged
little boy and girl.
The municipal Christmas tree idea
originated with Former Mayor W. w.
men, and it was such distinctive sue
cess that it is now to be a regular
4uletide feature in Richmond
The Palladium Is also to raise fund
to provide good cheer for the poor
children of Richmond on Christmas
day. This fund will be raised from
the proceeds derived from displays of
the remarkable Belgian war picture
films at the Murray theatre December
9 and 10, Afternoon and evening. These
films were obtained by the Chicago
Tribune staff photographer under a
contract made with the Belgian gov
ernment. These films are the only
offlclalWar scenes shown in America
Half of the amount of royalty, under
the terms of the Tribune's contract
goes to the relief of the Belgian ref.
ugees. All the Palladium's profit from
these performances will be used ex-
clusively to gladden. the hearts of pov-
erty's youthful victims in Richmond
1t is expected that several thousand
Richmond and Wayne county people
will witness the display of this great
film, SO it is anticipated that quite a
large children's Christmas fund will
be realized

WARDEN OF GAME
PROTESTS KILLING
OF YOUNG QUA|LS
Deputy Commissioner Will
Advise Stringent Legisla-
ton to Protect Birds in
Next Legislature.

Deputy State Fish and Game Com
missioner Bravey of Anderson was in
Richmond today on business connected
with his office. He took occasion to
enter vigorous protest against fea-
ture OF the game laws which he said
was encouraging the slaughter of
qua1ls, one Of the best game birds in
this section of the country and now
becoming exceedingly rare because of
the ruthless killing of them.
Il have advised Commissioner
Miles, Mr.. Bravey said, ito recon-
mend to the next legislature that the
game laws be amended SO tha once
more only water fowls can be hunted
from October / until November 10.
During that period rabbits may also
be hunted under the existing statute.
and that feature has done more to
hasten the determination of the quails
than any other one thing.
People who go out hunting after
rabbits frequently stir up covey of
cuails and the temptation to shoot
them is in most cases too strong to be
resisted therefore I would like to have
the law changed so that only water
fowls may be hunted from October !
tc November 10.
Quail hunting season is now on but
this game is exceedingly rare in this
section of the state"
Mr.. Bravey states that violations OF
the game laws have been exceptionally
numerous in his district this fall and
that he has been kept busy prosecut
ing such cases.
Mr.. Bravery thinks that the prohibi
ton of hunting in many sections of the
state to prevent the spread Of the foot
and mouth disease among the live
stock has been a good thing.
Wayne county is getting it's share
of benefits from the money derived
from hunting licence fees,' Mr.. Bra
vey asserted. Our department EN-
ployed several men to secure the blue
gills which were placed in Morton lake
and we are also maintaining a fish
hatchery In this county"
