CHILD TO DROP

Will Fly Over White Lot

spots with the colors of the Christ
Child Society. and with band music
furnished by fiye or six different or
ganizations, mostly military,
the day. Easter Monday
is expected to be a wonderful one
on the White lot eilipse. There will
be the usual celebration under the
auspices of the Christ Child Soci-
ETY.. with Mrs W. ]. Baxter in
charge.
Mrs Baxter has been busy for
weeks preparing a good time for
the children. She announced yes
terday that 10000 messages. includ-
Ing poems and inscriptions appro-
pirate to the occasion and brightly
Illustrated in colors, have been re-
eeiyed. and will be showered from
the skies over the ellipse from an
aeroplane by a child.
Orphans to Participate.
Mrs. Baxter has turned the messages
over to Col. Hartz. commanding OFF,
Ger of Boiling Field, who will have
half dozen OF his airmen do stunts
for the children.
I Boys and girls in practically all of
Nnc OTpndn homes OF Ine CITY are
competing in the classroom for the
privilege OF taking part in egg-rollins
contests, in which many handsome
prizes will be awarded. 1t was the
original plan Of Mrs. Baxter to have
prize contests open to all children, but
Y would be impossible, because of the
numbers. to decide the winners in
single day.
Probably the most attractive pro-
Sram ever arranged for an Easter
Monday celebration for children has
been completed by Mrs. Baxter. who
has been almost alone in her efforts
to achieve It.
In addition to the plentiful music, the
airplanes, the shower of Easter mes
sages. the souvenirs to be given and
the egg-rolling. there will be moving
pictures and dancing at the Sylvan
TheateT by the Capitals most talent
ed little ones from the various terp-
sichorean schools.
From IL o'clock in the morning until
at night, with an hour or so begin
ming at noon for luncheon, there will
be something doing on the ellipse.
Mrs. Baxter is making arrangements
TO enable parents to bring the chill
dren and spend the day.

GREAT SYSTEM EVOLVED
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.

BRUSSELS. March 16.-Down in
the poorer quarters of Brussels one
may feel the pulse of American gem
erosity. Here, in other words. is
the barometer which has gauged the
trend of American human sympathy
not the sympathy of a mere govern
ment. but that great warm hearted
ness of people through the length
and breadth of the land.
A little old lady came limping into
a canteen where she was to obtain
her daily flood. She was a bright
faced little person, but it was not
the sunshine which she seemed to
radiate that attracted attention. Upon
her head was a broad brimmed vel
vet hat. colored feather showing
oddly against the black background.

worn by Gibson girl. 1t suggested

1t is maintained the allies provoked

Though there may prevail the inn
preston that old clothing is given
to the needy Belgian people such is
not the case. 1t has been found to be
advisable to charge some nominal
figure for each garment distributed.
If the prospective purchaser has not

article this msney is advanced, but
in no case is the clothing given out

people to whom things are given are

Just Folks
By EDGAR A. GUEST

HOW 1T HAPPENED.

1t happened this way: His folks said
The very day that they were wed
That she was not at all the kind
OF wife they'd hoped that he would
find.
And her folks wondered what she saw
To love in such a son-in-law,
And from the time the knot was tied
Trouble was brewed on every side.
His folks insisted he should do
The things he'd been accustomed to,
And her folks argued. day by day.
That she should go another way.
There wasn't anything they planned
But what the old folks took a hand
In it, and spoiled it from the start
And left them sore and sad at heart
I've known them both for years an
years,
And when she came to me in tears
And told her story. straight and fair.
I guess the angels heard me swear.
He'd left her. Gone back home. Of
course,
And now was talking Of divorce.
And then she blushed and whispered
low
Something I knew he ought to know
I grabbed my hat and went for him
And found him sorrowful and grim.
And l was glad, for I could see
That he was grieVing same as she.
I'm not recalling all / said:
To think of it my cheeks turn red.
l told him that old folks are FOOLS
In language never taught in schools.
He's back, and they are happy now.
The old folks. though, are wondering
how
1t came about 1t seems so strange
That he and she one day should change
And suddenly announce that they
Were going to live their lives their way
They say he swore! / wish l knew
If he said all told him to.

all the time In New York, although there
had been reports of his appearance In
Boston and Philadelphia. But at any
rate Il IL certain that for at least ten
years Addicks had been very poor
man.
Addcks's jump into the political
waters of Delaware and the long and
nationally celebrated fight he made to
control the Legislature through enor-
nous expenditures of money probably
was the most spectacular part of his
career. 1t is said that he entered the
field on an impulse which came to him
one morning In December, 1888, Just
after he had returned from Europe,
where he had made a million on a fnan-
cial coup in connection with railroads In
Siberia. lie read in a New York news
paper that there was a deadlock in the
Delaware Legislature over the election
of a Senator, and he Immediately sum
moned his Boston political agent and
started for to Delaware capital, pre-
pared to buy his way into the United
States Senate.
On January 1. 1889. Addicks and his
agent, together with two or three other
political henchmen, appeared in the Ho-
tel Richardson In Dover, Del. and an
nounced to newspaper correspondents

States Senate. He was entirely unknown
In Delaware at that time and at first he
was not taken seriously, although later
on when he began to spend such enor-
nous sums of money and to declare that
he was going TO be elected Senator IL he
had to buy the entire state, he became
great thorn in the flesh of both politi-
cal parties. He was defeated in 1883
but gained considerable strength there
after through the influence of his money
and through the fact that at that time
no one could vote in Delaware without
showing a paid tax receipt.
Addicks shrewdly went through the
poorer sections of the State paying tar
receipts for men who would promise tc
vote for him. He gained such strength
after few years that he came yer,
near being elected, but in 1907 Col
| Henry A. du Point, who had frequently
refused to go to the Senate because o.
1 the prospect of having Addicks as
| colleague, administered a crushing de

| politically began at about the same tint
that his fortunes began dwindling.
