well, can't you wait just a minute
I got to tell the fellows 1 can't come

well, didn't mean to be sassy. I
just meant 1 had to tell the fellows
I couldn't come out again. You al
ways said yourself it wasn't polite not
to tell folks goodnight and every
thing.
well. I guess I just did it because
you always try to make me be SO aw--
full polite. 1 don't care about it. !
Just hate being polite.
Honest, do I have to take a bath
again tonight? Honest to goodness,
1t makes me sick. took a bath last
night Seems like 1 don't never do a
single thing in this world but take
baths! I can't hardly ever come in
this old house a minute but 1 hear
that old faucet running and then next
thing 1 have to go and take a old
bath.
"Ouch, mother, that's too hot! bet
that scalded my leg so l won't be able
to go to school tomorrow or to Sun
day school on Sunday.
We'll, I can't go if 1 get my leg all
boiled when you make me take
bath.
well, even if you and dad take 'em
every day 1 don't see why l should.
Seems to me like that's enough baths
for one house. I bet when get mar

And they're awful sore, too. They

that some fellows make such a fuss
just try to pick out my sore places
to wash the hardest.
II don't see why you don't let me
take my own baths, anyway. All the
other fellows take their own baths. 1
bet I'm the only fellow in the crowd
that his mother takes his baths for
him.
Ouch, mother. you're just freezing
me, turning all that cold water on me.
I bet I'll have an awful, cold to-mor

because when you have a cold at
school the teacher always opens the
windows and lets 'em blow a draft OH
you and it pretty near kills you.

got to dig into my ear like that. Seems
like you just want to be one of them

all the time. Now, John Bolinslki, now
he don't hardly ever take any baths.
him take any and he always looks just
as clean. Anyway, he looks clean
enough. He looks just as clean as the
other fellows do.
Poor little fellow nothin'. I bet he
has the dandiest time of any of US
fellows His mother don't ever hardly
know where he is. He don't even have
to go home to meals hardly ever. His
mother just lets him go home with
the other fellows any time he wants
without even asking. Only, of course,
he has to go home to meals some
times because the other fellows
mothers they don't like to have them
bring John home with them too often
and he's got to eat sometimes. Any
fellow has to eat sometimes, of course.
Now if I get washed all to pieces
like this tonight I'm not going to
wash my neck and ears again in the
morning. There's not a speck of
sense washing all the time. A fellow
don't have hardly time even to eat in
this house, always having to have his
neck and ears washed and taking
baths and everything every time he
turns round. It's no wonder I don't
have time to get my lessons good.
You was fussing just the other night

It's no wonder I always have a
cold, having TO think about washing,
washing, washing, all the time. You
just wait till I'm 21! I bet you'll see
me quit fast enough then.

paper how a fellow got drowned TAX
ing bath in the bathtub. There was
too much water in the tub and he had
a fiji or something and he just drowned
and nobody heard him doing it, and it
was awful.
We'll, if I should get drowned I
you wouldn't, though. 1t seems you
never do care how uncomfortable I
am. Some fellows mothers care,
though. I bet John BoIinski's mother
cares.
'Say, let me slide down the end of
the tub a couple of times! Let me
put a whole lot of soap on.
Just once more! I didn't slide but
three times and this makes four.
well, let me slide six times. Don't
be such a tightwad. Honest, I didn't
slide but four times That was just
a little bit of a slide. That won't
count for hardly more'n half slide.
count for more'n a quarter of a slide.
Say, let me slide four more quarters
of slides six times and then I'll get
out. Honest, those were just little
teeny weeny slides. They don't count
for hardly more'n a eighth of a slide.

suggested several years ago by Harry

members. instead of sending flowers on
the occasion of death, contribute the

thus to the charities. In 1910, he said,

HEBREW CHARITIES
MAYBEFEDERATED
Subject Brought Prominently
to Front Through Letter
From Simon Wolf.
REPORTS ON YEARS WORK
AT THE ANNUAL MEETING
President Lee Baumgarten Pays
Tribute to Achievements OF
Jewish Women.

Strong pleas for federation or the
". rious agencies of relief among Jews
of the District of Columbia, ortnooox
and reformed, were voiced by speakers
at the annual meeting of the unlteo
Hebrew Charities in Eighth street
Temple last night. A letter from simon
Wolf was read, in which Mr. Wolf an
nounced the withdrawal OF his sup
port from the organization as 1t is now
constituted and saying that until
scheme of federation of the several
charitable agencies was put into effect
he would discontinue contributions.
The letter was effective in arousing
interest in the proposition of close
federation and cooperation, and 1t is
expected some tangible results Will be
obtained in the near future, looking to-
ward real cooperation between the
several agencies.
In his annual report Lee Raumgarten,
president of the United Hebrew Char
tiles, said that out of the Jewish popu-
lation of about 10000 in the District of
Columbia fewer than 300 were con-
tributorS to the charities organization.
This condition of affairs, he said, was
undoubtedly due to the fact that the
various organiZa tons for relief work
were unrelated and the work itself was
unsystematized. A scheme of co-opera-
ton under which the agencies might
be federated and their activities co-or-
dinated, he said, would increase inter
est and result in much more liberal
support and larger contributions to re-
lief work among the Jews.
DR.. Simon Urges Cooperation.
President Baumgarten's remarks were
followed by an appeal by DR.. Abram
Simon along similar lines. DR.. Simon
urged that a plan similar to that of
the Associated Charities be adopted,
with such notifications as might be
found necessary to meet peculiar con-
ditions. DR.. Simon's plea was greeted
with applause.
In his report President Baumgarten
called attention to the work of the
Hebrew Free Loan Association, which
loans money in sums up to $50, to be
repaid in small installments without
interest, and urged that contributions
be made to the resources of the asso-
citation, SO that it's activities might be
largely extended.
Briefng the work done by the or
ganization during the year just ended,
President Baumgarten said:
During the year there were 1.122
calls recorded at the charity office, 1874
of which were new cases, but no rec
ord was made of the many calls at my
home and place of business. We have
on our rolls as regular pensioners sew
enteen families. as against twenty-one
last year. OF the total amount ex-
pended (s4,61D the only salary paid
was $500 for the clerical work May
we not be pardoned if we say that this
record is one that we are proud of?
Is it not another argument why our
people should be glad to contribute,
for the relief of the poor to this or
ganization?

DR.. Thompson suggested that there
should be a dedication OF the Fa ar

said. and he thought it was the duty
of the people of South Washington to
have 1t properly dedicated.
Both questions were referred to the
school committee.
Dr. Johnson suggested the need OF a

stated. there is total darkness. and
where 1t Is impossible to distinguish

Helped to Business Training.

''In addition to the ordinary call for
families, with daughters whom they
could no longer afford to keep at
school, have appealed to US for aid in
the matter of furnishing facilities for
the education of their offspring, in
order to fit them for positions in the
business world.
I'm two of such instances the board
decided to pay the tuition fees for six
months at a business college. This ex-
pertinent proved entirely satisfactory.
Both of these young ladies are now
filling positions with salaries approx
mating SO week, instead of working
in stores for a much lower remunera-
ton.
I'VE seriously commend this expert
ment to the philanthropically inclined
and advocate the opening up of a spe-
cial fund to be known as the educa-
tional account, from which may be
drawn such amounts as may be neces-
sary to extend the aforementioned
branch of the work"
Urging keener sense of RESPONSE
bility of children toward their parents,
President Baumgaften in his report
said:
Again do I call attention to the re-
sponsibility of children to aged and in
firm parents. l rejoice in the fact that
the large majority of our grown-up
children take every pride in minister
ing to the wants of their parents dur
ing old age. The fact, however, that
there are many who fall short of do
ing so; the fact that others are only
too ready to force upon society their
entire obligation is prima face evil

remedied at once. Under our present
status the entire question is one of in
