CARRIERS Of GREETINGS

Girl Scouts Aiding Santa Claus
Among Children Who Wrote
Letters to The Star.

Surprise and disappointment struggle
with happiness in the youngsters face
as he stands at the door of his humble
home to receive the Christmas greeting
from the little Girl Scout as she mounts
the steps with her basket or bag full
of good things.
You're not Santa Claus" he says.
Where is heo"
He is too busy to get around to see
all of his friends this year, but he
sends me with his greetings" And she
extends to him something he had asked
for in his letter to Santa claus. sent in
the care of The Star
4 look of pleasure reigns in the
youngsters face, but there Is some
doubt still. He misses the whiskers.
red coat and the reindeer pulling the
sled of legend.
The little Girl Scout in her trim
khaki uniform, however. upon placing
in his hand something material. dis
places the last lingering doubt. There
is q Santa Claus.
Hundreds Engage in the Work.
This is what is happening all over
the city today as hundreds Of Girl
Scouts are playing Santa Claus to the
children who have written in the care
of The Star. Children of all colors.
ages. sizes and creeds. as far as posi-
BILE within the limited resources of the
girls, are being remembered Some
children wrote TOO late to be granted
their wishes today. tomorrow or may
be on Christmas day. But for days to
come the Girl Scouts are going to try
to answer the appeals of the tardy
ones and thus prove that every day Is
Christmas.
At IL o'clock this morning the girls
set out from the local scout headQuar-
ters in the Woodward building. and in
automobiles loaned by friends went to
all corners of the city. and even out
side. Their work a s assistants to Santa
Claus was quite W to expectations.
and they left trail of happiness in
their wake-fgurative, Of course.
Variety of Gifts.
The girls distributed gifts as far as
possible bought from their supply of
pocket money. and with small sums
donated by friends. and also clothing
and other necessities collected at their
homes and given b. generous citizens
of Washington for the work.
The hearts of many youngsters who
faced the probability Of q cheerless
Christmas time were gladdened today
by the sight of khaki. which. although
when placed upon the bodies of men
signifies intent of battle. this morning
was sign of real peace and good Will.

Burden on Railroads.

That with the exception of one ex-
pertinent the testimony in the proceed
ings was unanimous to the effect that
the efficiency of the switchmen in the
shorter workday would be only slight
ly increased. SO that the added burden
of the shorter hours would fail almost
entirely upon the railroads"
The statement concludes by saving
that taking all of these circumstances
into consideration the increase in wage
has seemed to the ma jority of the ar
bitrators likely to serve the interests
of the public"

SAVE ONE SECTION
SPECIAL 10 THE JOURNAL.


Jacksonville, Feb. 24.-By vote
of twenty-six to sixteen, the state
executive committee this afternoon
rescinded its former action prescrib-
ing qualifications directed at members
of a certain secret organization, re-
pealing sections four and five of that
resolution passed on january 9Th.
An effort was made to have a COM
promise put through, and Duval Of
Marion offered a resolution practi-
cally the same as sections one, two,
three and five of the old resolution,
but more definite, excluding all or
CARNATIONS which it was said might
be included in the provisions of the
old resolution, but this never reached
a vote. A substitute offered by Lake,
embodying all of the first three sec
tions of the old resolution and two
other sections repeating sections four
and five, was adopted.
Ferty-two counties were represent
ed bx the time a vote was reached
on the Lake resolution, a number of
them reporting after the committee
had convened.
The meeting today was more excit-
ing than any held in many years.
When Governor Park Trammell walk
ed into the audience he was loudly
cheered. 1T was few minutes after
wards that Senator N. P. Bryan
walked in and he was also heartily
applauded and cheered.
Lake of Seminole, led the fight for
the repeal of the sections mentioned
and he was supported on the floor by
Rube ALLYN, of Manatee; Hal Adams,
of Lafayette; Stanford, of Osceola,
ard others, while DuvaI, of Marion,
Sturkie, Of Pasco, and Lewis, of
Jackson, spoke at length against the
adoption of the substitute resolution.
Practically every candidate for an
important state Office was present at
the meeting. The attendance was so
great that it was necessary to move
the meeting to one of the largest au-
ditoriums in the city.
Escambia county was represented
by Oscar M. Johnson, who received a
wire from R. Pope Reese during the
course of the meeting. The proxy
was accepted by the credentials com
mittee and he was allowed to serve.
He voted to table the substitute, fav-
orfng. the Duval resolution which
struck out section four of the old
resolution and made the intents and
purposes more clear.
