The Chicago City Federation of
Colored Womens' Clubs met Monday
Dec. 3rd at Fulton ST., M. E. Church
The meeting was called to order at
10 A. M. by the President, Mrs.
Martha Walton. After devotional
exercises the federation took up the
, regular routine of business of COM
mittee and club reports and attend
ing to unfinished bueiness. The re
ports showed that the club women
had been very busy during the past
quarter. The various committees
have a good line of work planned for
the winter season. Their reports
for the past quarter are encourag-
ing.
During the afternoon session, Mrs.
Ida Wells Barnett gave message
to the federation from the Brigader
General, over the colored soldiers at
Camp Grant, Rockford, ILL.,, stating
that he had received word from ver-
ious white organizations, assuring

the camp would receive boxes of
cheer on Christmas G2y but none of
the colored organizations had sent
word that any kind of preparation
had been made to cheer the colored
soldiers on Christmas Day. The
federation voted to see to it that the
boys received boxes on Christmas
day. The federation will be assisted
in the work by the Negro Fellowship
League. The following committee

A Christmas Appeal For Unfortunate
Negro Children.

any measure to share in these
pleasures of the seasons greet
ingS.
1t is for the classes above re-
ferred to, we are making this ur-
gent appeal to our friends and
sympathizers.
We hope many of the readers
of this appeal will use us as a
clearing house in reaching these
unfortunate children. Through
you this institution has been a
blessing in the past in this re-
gard, and we sincerely hope this
year will not prove an exception.
We very much hope all will
bear in mind that the greatest
good accomplished in this effort
does not come from giving a few
children Christmas gifts in DIFF
ferent forms, but the calling the
attention of the young to the
birth of the Savior of men,
through Christmas tokens,
quickens a spirit of spiritual
gratitude and stimulates an abid-
ing interest in the Savior's mis-
sion upon the earth which prom
Uses to live in the hearts of these
people permanently.
With the two above conditions
in mind, we make this our annual
appeal to all "who would like to
live in a house by the side of the
road where the race of men go
by"

For a number of years the
Voorhees, Institute has served as
distributing station for books,
magazines, or any other kind of
periodicals, cards, packages and
fruits, that have come to us from
friends in different parts of the
country for the poor, yet worthy
Negro children upon our campus
and in the rural sections of our
community.
Except for this means, a large
number of children both at the
school and in the counties adja-
cent to the school, will have no
way of being reminded Of the
date commemorating the birth of
the Savior, the Christ. In past
years very large number of un-
fortunate children have been
told through this agency for the
first time the significance of
Christmas.
Not only has this been true of
children, but we have found it
true in many cases with the
adults who live in the parts of
the rural country beyond the
reach of educational influences.
This does not describe by any
means all Of the unfortunate
children here at Voorhees, or in
the rural districts. We have
students upon our campus who
will only be reminded of the oc-
casion which brought the wise
men from the East by reason of
seeing others enter into the joy

Change in Timetable.

A change in the railroad timetable
went into effect Sunday morning. In
stead of cutting off trains as it was re-
ported would be done, there have been
additions TO the timetable that went
out of service. Possibly when the
Public Utilities Commission has rem
dered decision over the hearing &C.
corded on Tuesday there may be some
changes. The train that left here for
Pemberton in the morning at 6.32 has
been discontinued. This train came
from Medford and then went up the
road. Now the first train to arrive
from Medford gets here at 9.35. Other
changes have been made in the Med
ford table, the last train leaving Mount
Holly at AS instead of 6.12. The 8.35
a. m. train, to Camden, has been put
back on the list, with stops at Moores-
town and Merchantville. The 9.12 to
Camden has been advanced to S.46,
without any stop until reaching Cam
den. A new train to Philadelphia has
been added, leaving Mount Holly at
11.41. In the afternoon there is an ex-
press at LOB to Philadelphia, except on
Saturday. The 3.11 is kept on and
there are no trains to the city thereafter
until 4.57, the later trains being about
the same. From Philadelphia the first
train leaves for Long Branch at 1872,
an additional line-and the next one
to the same place, not stopping be-
tween Camden and Mount Holly,
leaves Philadelphia at 9.2S, with after
noon expresses, without stops between
the places named, one leaving Phila-
delphia at o'clock, stopping at Mount
Holly to take on passengers, has been
put on the list. There is a new way
train, leaving Philadelphia at 1886, but
there will not be any train from the
city between 6.28 and 1O.4O p. m. Pas
sengers for Trenton and New York who
have been accustomed to leaving here
at 9.15 will be compelled to ride in the
coach attached to the milk train which
|, goes through Mount Holly at S.26
This will give them the option of wait
| ing in Burlington 33 minutes or they
+ can take chances on going by trolley
and getting to Burlington in time t.

There was general "mixup" at the
railroad station this morning. The
train that should have left here for
Philadelphia. at 8.12 was late and was
compelled to wait on siding until all
through trains had chance to clear
and then it got away one hour and
eight minutes late. The train scheduled
to carry passengers to Burlington, and
to leave here at S.26 did not start from
Mount Holly until it was over an hour
late. A double track might overcome
this situation. In one hour there are
six trains pass the Mount Holly station,
four of them within II minutes of each
other.

Train Service.

The Public Utilities Commission of
New Jersey has sent communication
to the South Jersey Commuters Asso-
citation that permission granted the
Pennsylvania RAILROAD Company for
the withdrawal Of certain trains would
be in force only during the war and
after the present crisis the trains with
drawn would have to be restored.
This announcement was in response
to communication from the com.
muters that the railroad company
should not be permitted to use the wal
as an excuse for the permanent with.
drawal of train service resulting in the
retarding of the growth of the suburban
towns.
Residents of Beach Haven have ask
ed the Commuters Association to urg,
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
to place notice in it's station at tina
resort and also in Camden that tn
price of round-trip ticket and single
way ticket is the same. On all point
on its system outside of New Jerse
the price Of an excursion ticket is jus
double that of a one-way ticket, bu
the price of one-way ticket to Beacl
Haven from Camden is 81, which
also the price OF round-trip tickle
| Persons in ignorance of this fact ofte
l buy two one-way tickets and thus pa
double the fare paid by the better il
formed.

The Wriehtstown Camp

The military camp at Wrightstown
is the scene of great activities on the
part of workmen, hundreds of whom
are engaged in various kinds Of con-
struction work.
Buildings are being erected as rapid
ly as lumber can be obtained, Of which
thus far there has been a shortage.
Telegraph and telephone wires are be-
ing strung; an artesian well is being
driven; preparations for sewers are be-
ing made; railroad sidings are being
laid, and other construction work is
proceeding.
The two-story frame barracks are of
the cheapest construction, and
have tar paper roofs. The foundations
consist of wooden posts set in the
ground.
One or two barns are being converted
to quarters for the soldiers by putting in
many additional windows and making
other changes. Some barns and out.
buildings are or will be torn down,
which also will be the fate of the fences.
Most of the work was suspended on
Sunday on account of the lack of build
ing material. 1t is proposed to work
overtime weekdays and to keep the
men employed on Sundays in order to
hasten the immense task of preparing
the camp for occupancy early in Sep
TENDER. About forty motor trucks be-
longing to the government arrived on
Saturday.
The water supply for the camp is tc
be taken from the Mount Misery branch
of the Rancocas creek where it enters
the main stream below the New Lis
bon dam. This stream furnishes Q
good supply of unpolluted water, as il
flows through an area where there are
practically no inhabitants. The watel
will be pumped through 16-inch pipt
to the camp ground, distance of {
little over two miles. A large pump
ing station will be erected near thu
creek.
Artesian wells also will be driver
near the creek to furnish additional
water if needed. 1t is estimated tina
two-and-a-hal million gallons per da,
will be required to supply the CAM
when the full complement of soldier
arrive.
An artesian we'll of small diameter il
being driven inside the camp ground
the furnish water for the present need
. of the workmen and others.
