Senator Trammell is very interest

visited the school yesterday after

here, and that as a member of the
Naval Affairs Committee of the Sen

in enlarging the station.

the Senator, referring to the extra
term just closed, "and I believe much

practically none. The same is true
of the other war measures that have

in discussing the various measures
that have been passed at the special
term, Senator Trammeil. stressed the
effectiveness of the food embargo to
neutral nations, preventing the ne

When questioned about the pos

little to be said at the present time,
as the War Department S sole inten-
ton in having the various sites in
spected was to obtain information
for future reference, and not with
any idea of making ar immediate
selection. in view of this fact, he
said that delegations could do little
or no good by going to Washington,
and that Texas delegation which
was going to the Capital to present
claims to the site, was wired not to
come.

war will end, said the Senator in
reply to the inevitable question. "for

Inc children at Pearl Eagan Home
are Delighted with the prospect of at

Mrs. Eldridge. the matron. has
planned an all-day outing. She will
prepare big basket lunch and bring
.ne children down town in the morn
ing to see the parade, then they will
eat dinner in one of the parks and
go to the circus grounds early. so
that they will have plenty of time to
see all the wonderful sights in the
menagerie tent before the big show
starts.
The boys and girls are sure it will
be the happiest day they have ever
known and they are very grateful to
the kindly disposed people who are
making their happiness possible.
Several donations were received
yesterday and one lady wrote a let
ter which shows how fully she under
stands children and the things that
will make them happy. 1t reads:
81 enclose 6Oc for one child to see
the circus. The 10c extra is for pop
corn, and pink lemonade. without
which circus is incomplete to

More donations are needed if all
the children are to go, and it never
would do to leave any behind who
are old enough to enjoy the big pa
rade and the circus Should more
money be received thar is actually
needed, it would be put 20 good use,
as the needs of the home are many.
The storm did lots of damage which
had to be repaired at once Fences
and chimneys were blown down and
the money to replace them had to be
taken from the slender grocery fund.
The grocer kindly agreed to wait a
few days. but he will have to be
paid soon. Then. cold weather is
coming and coal is needed to keep
the little unfortunates warm this
winter. So there is no danger of
too much money being subscribed.
But this is not an appeal ;. for the
general fund. 1t is just suggestion
for a voluntary offering from those
who wish to give the children hap

Cicotte or Russell would get the Sox

The playing field was fairly fast
though the far reaches were soggy
and slow. The sun was bright and
helped in driving the damp turf.
The Sox were greeted with several
rounds of cheers as they came upon
the field for batting practice. Wolf
