A shabby little girl OF IA stood
smiling happily on the steps OF
hospital In an eastern city. She
thought OF the sick babies and the
sorrowing mothers in that city,
which is stricken with a scourge
OF children's disease. Yet her smile
seemed TO show that life had that
day repaid her for some of her own
suffering. That girl was Alice En-

given nineteen hundred years ago.
Five years ago Alice was a victim
of infantile paralysis, now attacking
children In the city where she lives.
Her parents were so poor that the
only medical attention they could
get for their sick child was the free
help of the city. The little girl re-
covered from the disease and seem
ingly regained her health. but one
arm was left lame and withered
Her lameness has been trying on
the girl, whom poverty has deprive

Dear Miss ROberts-Please make

there is harder work than that. even

Offices and stores, but they have
fixed hours, and most OF them get a
Two weeks vacation or more every
year

nized that the woman who runs a
house and takes care Of her chill

as the woman who works in a store
or an Office, | think she does; !

propose such thing-my, what ex.
citemeB IL might be hard To

matter OF course that the home
worker requires a vacation just as
much az any other worker. some
way would be found And IL seems
TO me that it's time for us women

weeks, and the mother given com.

WILSON TO END
CAMPAIGN HERE
Will Speak at Final Rally
in Madison Square Gar
den Thursday Night

President Wilson is scheduled to pick
up the loose ends Of all the campaign
issues and make a final argument for
his Administration in the last speech
ne will make before Election Day at
Madison Square Garden next Thursday
evening. The programme Of events
outlined for the President by his ad-
visers yesterday set forth that this
would be "non-partisan" address, but
indicated that this would pot prevent
him from discussing any and all Of the
issues of the campaign.
Prominent in the announcement con-
corning the Madison Square Garden
demonstration, as issued by national
Democratic headquarters yesterday, is
the statement that Tammany Hall IS
playing an important part in the ar
rangements. II is announced that
Charles F. Murphy. Tammany Hall
leader, has arranged The parade, in
which $4,000 men are scheduled to
march to the building and, if unable TO
get in, await the arrival OF the Presl-
dent in the street.
Murphy to Stay Away
II was added from other quarters,
however, that Mr. Murphy's business
engagements would prevent him from
attending the meeting or seeing the
candidate for whom he is said TO be
i. . - = "a IN y
city that day. Mr.. Murphy has not
seen the President during the cam
paign, and those close to him assert
that he has no intention of seeking a
meeting with him before Election Day.
The only speaker in addition 10
President Wilson at the night meeting
will be Martin H. Glynn. On the plat
form. however, will be Samuel Seabury
and William F. McCombs. President
Wilson has said that he would call the
attention of his hearers to the neces-
sity of electing a Democratic Senator
if they intended TO return him 70 the
White House He will make a plea TOT
the state ticket as well.
A small number of tickets have been
printed for favored applicants for re-
served seats at the meeting. but the
rule of admission, with the exception
of these few. will be first come first
served. Overflow meetings Will be held
in the street for those turned away at
the doors.
viii Talk to Business Men
President Wilson will arrive in this
city shortly after noon from Shadow
Lawn. He will speak at a meeting OF
the Woodrow Wilson Business Mems
League at the Waldorf. Business leg
islation is to De his topic at this affair
In spite Of the fact that this meeting
is called the close of the Presidential
campaign. 50 far as Mr.. Wilson Is con-
cerned. another speech will be made al
Shadow Lawn the following day. THIS
address, according to the Presidents
managers, will be in the nature of a
chat with his neighbors and friends in
New Jersey. That it will not be con
fined TO such near neighbors IS maj.
Gated, however, by the statement that
special trains will be run from this
city.

Colonel Laurence H. Grahame, for
mer Secretary of the Interior Of Porto
Rico, who returned yesterday from the
Pacific Coast, where he has been for
the last six weeks organizing branches
OF the National Hughes Alliance, de-
clared that the Pacific Coast was SOL
idly for Hughes. California, Oregon
and Washington, he said, would give
substantial majorities. The labor
vote, especially, he said, would go TO
Mr.. Hughes. labor leaders having de-
nounced the Adamson Eight-Hour law
as a gold brick.
John Hays Hammond, who has been
characterized as the advance agent Of
civilization and commerce, said last
night that President Wilson in his
Cincinnati speech demonstrated by fact
and figure that he had not the least
comprehension of either the present
or future business situation.
president Wilson does not under
stand world conditions in trade" he
said. "He does not comprehend the
task before the nation. He has
sketched no plan to preserve our home

SOUTHERN MONEY
AIDS WILSON ODDS
Biggest Bet Yesterday,
Zoo to 81 300 on
Hughes

A bet of s1,7OO to $1,000 that Hughes
would be elected was made in the Hotel
McAlpin yesterday. In the Waldorf
Astoria several wagers Of $1,000 to
5000. with the Republican candidate
the favorite, were reported. Wagers IN
conservative amounts were the rule
throughout the hotel district.
The principal change in the specula-
tive situation was the demand for even
money by Hughes supporters IN some
quarters. This is explained, according
70 an old betting commissioner, by the
influx of Wilson money from the south
and West Down home a Southerner OF
standing risks more than his money
should il become generally known ne
is actually laying wagers on Repuo-
lican candidate. So, TO get action, the
speculative Southerners are Hooking
North with their Wilson coin.
At the Waldorf Tex Richard holds
Wilson money for all corners, but re-
quests odds Of 10 TO 3.
]. Z. Smathers is out strong with
Hughes money at 10 70 8 and 10 TO .,
after a period Of wavering, when he
was reported to be hedging $4,000 he
already had wagered OF the Republl-
can. After his first betting Mr.
smathers is said TO have placed some
money on Wilson, but his confidence IN
Hughes has returned.
Robert Wolf, publisher Of "The Ohio
State Journal" at Columbus, has sent
10 New York an additional SIS. 900. to
be bet that his state will go for Wilson.
Mr.. Wolf already has wagers totalling
$4,000.
At the Aston, where Hughes has his
Headquarters, Hughes money appears
plentiful, with no takers. Wilson sup
porters, however, assert this is Hash
coin" and that actual bets are hard 10
get.
