Topeka Confidential Exchange
Begins Busiest Season.
Clearing House for Societies

More Giving This Holiday Sea
son, Topeka Forecast.
Plenty for Every Family in City
Is 1919 Aim.

The confidential exchange, a clear
ing house for the charitable and
philanthropic organizations of Topeka,
is beginning its busiest season Of the
year The exchange conducted by
Mrs Grace Brewer. Keeps, track of the
various families ofvahel city that need
help and see to it they get cid If they
are in want ana.sa t@stie sa me time
make sure they. don't have more help
than they need.
There are about rs organizations I'm
the city giving relief to unfortunate
ia miles and it used to happen that
some people would be surfefted with
attention and gifts while, others just
las worthy and just as needy would
be entirely neglected. TIE exchange
gets the helpers together and also
sees to it that the helped have fair
trea tment.
Know How to Give.
This coming holiday season viii see
more local giving than for years in
spite of strikes, riots and uprisings.s -
The war was over last year but this
is the first THANKSGIVING and Christ
mas with the boys at home. Red
Cross and foreign charities are not
greatly in demand this year, but the
spirit of giving which the war brought
about has not died out and it is prob
able that local poor will be cared for
as never before. Every family in To-
peka should have real Thanksgiving
dinner and q bulging Christmas
stocking.
The pioneer Confidential exchange
was conducted by Miss Mabel Adams
a number of years ago. Since that
time few winters have gone by with
out its help in managing giving in
Topeka Without the exchange sew
eral organizations might help the same
family. And in case they were the
sort to take advantage of their charity,
| 1t could be very easily done.
! Need this year is great on account
of the high cost of things, and altho
more may be given, it is necessary to
conserve and see that it goes where it
| should. charities declare.
Organizations in Exchange.
| Among orga nizations working thru
| the confidential exchange are the Sal
walton Army. Mothers Compensation,
Provident association, Hun1ane society,
| Sha vince county poor Commission.
Public Health, Nursing associa ton, q
| and club. Elks club, Day nursery,
Moose club; the church societies and
a number of literary and study clubs
/ of this city.
| The hope OF the exchange Is that
since the organizatfo whose chief in
! terest is in helping the poor see fit
| to work thru them that indfvddnals
| with philanthropic tendencies will do
| the same. The exchange does not dis
courage individual work. 1t needs ii
| and asks for it. But it does ask that
| they tell the exchange about it.

HARP VIRTUOSO OF UNIVERSAL.
FAME TO APPEAR HERE
OCTOBER 80

When Alberto Salvi was but a
child-befcre he could read or write
his father, who was, and is today,
a very famous harp maker, built for
the boy a small harp and began Civ
ing him lessons on that tiny instru-
ment. The whole family were noted
harpists. but before long it became
very evident who the really famous
karpist of the family would be.
Seeing the lads phenomenal gifts
both in playing and original impro-
visation, the father arranged for him
to be heard at the Royal Italian
Court. The result was that the boy
was given the famous Italian Govern
ment Scholarship for a twelve year
course offered periodically to the
musician showing the most talent
and the highest standing from all
Italy.
Because his father demanded of
him eight, nine and ten hours a day
at his work, the boy completed the
strenuous twelve year course in a
little over eight years. He came
from that school a talented organist,
a notable symphony director and a
most brilliant composer, but above
all was the herp beloved of his soul
and he stood unquestionably as the
peer of al performers upon hat in
strument. 1.-THE Wizard of the Harp
was the name given him.
Since that day two continents have
been held spellbound by his marvel
GUS genius and he has been a sensa-
ton which it is given but a chosen
few in all history to be. Over four
hundred compositions have come
