SALVATION ARMY TO PROVIDE
CHRISTMAS DINNER FOR 5000

AZ quests" said Commandant Tilley.
Many years ago the Salvation Army
gave its Christmas dinners in pub
lie hall, where all the guests sat to-
gether. But we found that many per-
sons declined our hospitality because
they felt they would suffer humilia-
ton by eating in public.
1T seems extraordinary that so
many persons in these times Of big
wages and general employment
viding their own Christmas dinner
But the poor we have always with US.
There are the cripp1es, the sick, the
anything of the value Of money. Then
there's tho offspring of men who
make too frequent trips to Baltimore
Want All to Have Dinner.
"At any rate. the Salvation Army is
not willing that any person shall be
deprived of good Christmas dinner,
Even prisoners in jails-men who
have violated the law-get some
goodies on Christmas. Besides, thou
sands of little children who have no
contribution whatever to their own
poverty would be deprived of Christ
mas cheer if somebody outside of
their own immediate families did not
provide it"
It is estimated that the cost of the
dinner will be about $2,50O This is
raised by popular subscription and by
solicitors who are standing at street
corners with kettles suspended from

A Proposed New Car Line.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Here is a. suggestion to relieve some
of the crowded traffic conditions on
G street northwest and the downtown
section. Commencing at 4th and
Rhode Island avenue northeast, build
a new line through Rhode Island
avenue to Connecticut avenue. This
new line could then issue transfers
at 4th street northeast. North Capitol
street, 4th street northwest, eth street
northwest. 18th street northwest and
Connecticut avenue northwest People
living in the northern and north
eastern part Of the city could get to
work without going around the pen
sion office and 9Th and G streets Peo-
pie wanting to go to Georgetown,
Mount Pleasant, Central High School,
Garfield Hospital. out Georgia avenue
and the base bail park can also trans
fer without going downtown, saving
at least one-half to three-qua.rters of
an hour on the cars AS conditions
now are. It is almost impossible to get
a seat on either the Maryland or
North Capitol street cars either in the
morning or evening. If conditions are
not ren1edied accidents are liable to
hapDDn at any moment
