LOTS Of ROOM YET
IN CHRISTMAS BOXES
Claus Have Not Yet Gotten Near
Enough to Go Round.

Reports from the committee on
Christmas gifts for the boys on the
border. which met yesterday at the
Blues Armory, are encouraging, but
far from being what tho committee
expected. People evidently have not
realized that the purpose Of the COM
mittee is to send a nice full box to
each OF the twelve companies, con-
tanning the good. will of the entire
community. The boxes will be pack
ed Thursday and sent Friday, so a
little time 10 left In which those who
have not yet given their share can do
so. Committees received at the
Blues Armory all day today and to-
morrow. Friday the boxes leave.
Gifts acknowledged and opened yes
terday were twenty pounds OF peanut
brittle. from the Aragon Coffee Com
pany, and flashlights from jerks and
tho Palman Auto Supply Company.
Flashlights will prove most accept
able stfts. and more of them from
other auto supply houses are greatly
to be desired. Many other contribu-
lions Of soap. coffee. and tobacco were
received. but not opened. so they can
not yet be acknowledged.
It IL hoped thai sudden sentiment
will possess the people OF Richmond
today and tomorrow and that the
boxes will be we'll filled for the twelve
companies when they leave Friday.
Checks should be made payable 70

night from Glen Allen. where he went
with a posse OF Henrico officers in
search of the escaped negro prisoners.

II was pointed out that Percy Gady.

At large. was thoroughly familiar with
that Glen Allen community. having op-
Grated there before he was sentenced
