General Dukhonin has been in

ing boys. The hackers of the scheme
include the names Of a number of
men and women prominent In the
business and social world. The "ho-
tel'' will not be a charitable institu-
ton. but will be managed on sound
financial basis. It will not be entirely
self-sustaining.
Those who have a working knowl-
edge of the social conditions in Lin
coin feel that many boys who work
for q small weekly wage do not live
in reasonably good homes. or else
have no homes at all. It is in order
to alleviate such a condition that the
boarding house for working boys has
been planned.
In order to start the movement Mr..
ana Mrs. w. H. Ferguson have do
mated the use of house belonging
to them at 1927 H street, Just east of
their. present residence. The house
was formerly used by fraternity,
and is admirably adapted to the sug-
gested use.
The house will be open to boys
unoer the age OF q years who have
an earning capacity Of at least IS a
week. The age limit is fixed in order
to prevent those who are able to earn
money to entirely support themselves
from taking advantage of the house.
Likewise, II a boy is able to earn
more than SO or $12 a week. he will
probably want to stay some place
else.
1t is planned to open the house in
a short time. with accommodations
Tor twenty boys. This number of
boys earning at least IS week will
be made welcome. They will pay out
