FAMILY SECRETS SACRED.
But Real People Are Represented in
the Fourteen Opportunities"

To the Editor Of The Star:
We are receiving many requests for
the names and addresses Of the families
represented by our fourteen opportuni-
ties. The Associated Charities indeed
values this expression of interest and
good will. We feel, however, that we
owe it to the public to explain once
more that our relations to our families
are as strictly confidential as those of
the physician to his patient or Of the
lawyer to his client. This must of ne
cessity be SO, if we are to be intrusted
with the condolences and sad histories
of those who need us in their hour of
trial The heads of these families are
widowed mothers and deserted wives.
to whom family privacy is as sacred
as to any of us.
The above does not mean that the
society does not want friendly visitors
for its families. The service of any
one willing to visit regularly some
family in distress will be gladly ac-
cepted. These fourteen families, how
ever, have friendly visitors, but there
are many others whos have not.
In conclusion. let US say to those who
are still skeptical that these fourteen
families are not manufactured for the
real children. While we cannot give
their names to strangers, we shall be
glad to tell any one who will call at
headquarters, 923 H street northwest,
many more details about any one or
all of these families than the papers
have space to print.

TRANSFERRING q. s. EXHIBITS
Officials Will Install Them at the
San Diego Fair.

The government is busy packing up
the government exhibit at San Fran
cisco. preparatory to transferring it to
San Diego, where the exposition will
continue throughout next year. This
is in compliance with the law Of Con-
gress. authorizing the transfer Of ex-
hibits, approved December IT,
E. NJ. Jemison, superintendent of the
Treasury building: Sam NJ. Marks, as
sistant to the chief clerk, and c. A,
Marbaugh of the coast guard are now
in San Francisco directing the dis
mantling, packing and shipment of the
exhibits.
The Treasury Department will con-
tinue most of its exhibits at San Diego.
1t is expected that they will be fully
installed by March 1.
Other departments having exhibits
are taking similar measures to trans
fer them to San Diego, or such part of
them as seems desirable.

brambles which protected him from his
other enemies could not help him be-
cause Shadow Is SO slim that he can
go through where any one else can.
In fact, he can go through holes and
narrow openings far too small for
Peter to think even of trying to go.
So Peter could see no safety for him
in the dear Old Brier Patch. Besides,
little Mrs. Peter was there, and, of
course, Peter wouldn't-couldn't-e
think of taking danger to her. No.
indeed! When he said as much and
Prickly Porky retorted that Shadow
wouldn't follow him to the Old Brier
Patch because he was afraid to cross
the open Green Meadows to reach it,
Peter didn't believe it. No, sir. he did
Porky goodnight and hurried on, lip
perty-lipperty-lip, for nowhere in par
ticular. He would just run as long as
he could. and then-well, then Shadow
would catch him.
Now life is a very precious thing to
all of us. 1t is Just as precious to the
little people of the Green Meadows and
the Green Forest as to you and me. AS
Peter ran without hope in his heart he
kept turning over and over in his mind
all that Prickly Porky sad said. Could
it be true? Prickly Porky had spent
all his life in the Green Forest, and he
ought to know all about Shadow IL
any one did. Supposing 1t was true
anu ne SnOuiQ lOSc HIS illc JuSL De-
cause he wouldn't believe and stayed
there in the Green Forest. Then what
would little Mrs. Peter do? And II
she should ever hear how he had been
advised to go home and hadn't done 1t,
how would she feel then? 1t might, it
just might, be. that Prickly Porky knew
what he was talking about. Life was
very precious. Peter gulped hard as
he thought of how soon all the beauty
Of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows might end for him.
BY this time he had reached the edge
of the Green Forest. He stopped and
looked out across the Green Meadows
now all white with snow. Way over
across the smooth white of the mead
ows he could Just see ip the silvery
moonlight spot just a wee bit dark.
He knew what 1t was, and he gulped
again very hard. 1t was the dear Old
Brier Patch. The snow had now quite
the bushes and little trees growing
there. A great longing to see 1t just
once more swept over Peter.
I'll do it," said he right out loud.
I'll do it. Perhaps Prickly Porky does
know"
And then quite suddenly Peter felt
relieved, almost happy. You see he
had made up his mind; He was no
longer uncertain. 1t might be a mis-
take, but it was doing something, and
that was better than doing nothing
but Just run until he could run no
longer. So Peter started for the dear
Old Brier Patch, lipperty-lipperty-lip
and the nearer he got to 1t the better
he felt There is no place like home
when you are in trouble.

WANTS ADDITIONAL FUNDS.
Secretary Lansing Asks for Money
TO Cover Extra War Work.

An additional appropriation of $143,-
$50 to care for the increased work of
the State Department resulting from
the European war is asked by Secre-
tary Lansing in memorandum submit
ted to Congress. Complex and difficult
problems arising from changed condi-
tions of warfare according to the Sec
retary have increased the work Of the
department over Is per cent.
Beside the employment of an addi-
tional administrative and clerical force
to carry on the work of the diplomatic
and consular service which is caring
for nationals Of other countries, Sec
retary Lansing points out that his de-.
partment must prepare for the presen-
tation OF a great number OF claims and
q general adjustment OF international
relations after the war ends.

Make up your mind, and when you do,

Make up your mind, and when you do,
Just stick and see the matter through.
There is nothing in the world quite
so unpleasant as uncertainty. 1t is
even better sometimes to know that
something bad is going to happen than
not to know whether 1t is or not. It
is better to make up your mind to do
thing or not to do it than to be all
the time worrying as to which to do.
So it was with Peter Rabbit that
night when he nearly ran his legs Off
in the Green Forest to get away from
Shadow the Weasel, and all the time
felt so hopeless. When he had asked
help of Prickly Porky the Porcupine
and Prickly Porky had advised him to
go straight home to the dear old Brier
Patch as the safest place he could go
to, Peter could hardly believe his ears.
and the last bit of hope dried up in
his heart. You see, he knew that there
wasn't a place in the dear Old Brier
Patch where Shadow the Weasel could
not follow him. The friendly old
