Y. ". C. HOME
CALLS FOR AID
War Has Compelled Self
Supporting Institution
to Ask for Help.

An appeal for $1,000 to be raised
by popular local subscriptions, has
been issued by X. E. NJ Dumbell.
chairmen of the board of managers
of the Young Women's Christian
Home, located at 81 and 315 c
street northwest, on account Of i'm
provements, renovations and essen
tials needed for the care of lis girls
now under the protection Of the So
ciety.
Mr.. Dumbell calls attention to the
fact that the home is virtually self
sustaining and that it has existed
in good condition even under abnor-
NAL war exigencies.
The following letter has been
mailed by Chairman Dumbell:
An Old Institution.
My Dear Fellow Citizens: | beg to
bring to your attention for a moment.
a work which l do not think most OF
you know you are doing, because this
particular work is never in the lime
light, and does not ask for help If it
can possibly be avoided.
At 3l1 and 3l5 c street northwest
there are two large houses. the
Young Women's Christian Home.
where at present lis girls are taking
their meals, and eightyfour are living.
This is not a new place which has
sprung up since the war. but an old
institution, which has gone quietly on
for many years. The home is almost
self-supporting. and with a small
board OF managers back of it, has
succeeded in running smoothly and
quietly.
War Increased Expenses.
But since 1914 with the greatly in
creased cost of living, and increased
numbers to take care OF. while we
continue not only to house, but also
10 mother and protect all these young
girls, there is not enough money in
our Treasury to repair the tremen-
dous amount OF wear and tear which
the houses have suffered during these
years. New floors must be laid, paint
ing done. the heating plant repaired,
etc. 500 should be expended in this
essential work.
Will you good people of Washing
ton. subscribe this amount? Or
must we go to the trouble and eX-
pense OF getting up a bazaar. worry
ing you with tickets sent by mail.
then beg you to buy and dance at
the bazaar?
Give Ono Dollar Each.
am sure you will all be glad to
be spared that. l ask you therefore
if you can donate but 81. to send it
to our treasurer, George w. White.
president of the National Metropoli-
tan Bank. 613 Fifteenth street. for
this most excellent cause. To those
of you caring to Investigate and
learn more about the home, the
board of managers extends a warm
invitation to visit 311 c street. on
Friday afternoon. March 7, between
the hours of 4 and 6. when members
OF the board will receive you. and be
pleased to answer any questions in
regard to the work, also to tell you
at length of the worthy type of
young woman that We are helping.
Home Has Good Record.
At no time during this period "f
high pressure have We had the
slightest trouble with any OF our
girls.
1t has been largely owing 10 their
help in turning the dininG-room into
a cafeteria. and assisting with the
service in every way, that our most
excellent matron has been able TO
keep the place running at all.
Begging the courtesy of an carly
respone. Yours very truly, X. f. NJ.

FIND PLOT TO ROB
SOLDIERS RELATIVES
Department Heads Send Out Warn
ing; Trace Criminals.

War, Navy and Department of Jus
tice authorities are trailing a group
of swindlers who have been preying
upon soldiers relatives. The gang.
operating mainly in New York, Phil
adelphia and Chicago, sent out teIe-
grams to relatives purporting to be
from soldiers, saying the soldier is
furioughed or dismissed, has not been
paid and needs money. In each case
the swindler asks that in remitting
money, the sender waive identifica-
ton or send to general delivery.
The War Department pointed out
yesterday that men on furlough must
show they have money to get home
while discharged men are given travel
allowances. 1t was suggested that
relatives should not send the money
unless they insist upon identification
of the receiver.
Severe punishment, it was stated
will be meted out to the group If
captured.

PLAN CANAL UNDER JERUS
ALIEN TO IRRIGATE HOLY
LAND,

If the proposals of Norweg.
ian engineer are carried out, there
will soon be a subteranean canal
directly under the city Of Je-
rusalem, carrying water from the
Mediterranean to the Dead Sea,
irrigating the wilderness Of Ju-
dea, and providing copious cleo
trio power at the mouth Of the
Jordan. For the Dead Sea. that
strange body Of heavy saline
water, is 1892 #. below the level
of the Mediterranean, and not
more than so miles away. An
ample electrical supply, available
for the undermining Of the Holy
City and other communities that
have made no progress since their
names were recorded in the man
uscripts Of the Bible, is an inter
estine prospect, says the Deem
Der Popular Mechanics Magazine.

FIRST SALE YIELDED $4,000
National TuborculosIs Association,
Which Sponsors Sale. Will Place
$1,000, 900 Seals on Sale 70
Finance the Fight Against
Tuberculosis.

The Red Cross Seal-as millions OF
Americans know it to day, Is an agent
Of happiness and health. 1t was orig
mated in 1907 by Miss Emily r. bisseil,
of Wilmington, Delaware, who learned
through Jacob Riis Of somewhat SINH
lar seals that were sold in Norway Tor
the purpose Of raising funds with
which to fight tuberculosis.
Miss Bissell persuaded the Amerl-
can Red Cross to take up the idea with
the result that seals were sold IN q
limited number Of communities In
1903. The sale yielded . revenue OF
approximately $1,000. The Red Gross
then decided to issue the seals eaeh
year and to turn the proceeds over to
the National tuberculosis association
and its affiliated societies for the Dur-
bose Of financing the campaign against
tuberculosis. The number OF seals
sold in America Increased by leaps
and bounds until in 1917 the total
reached 100000.
This year the seals are again on
sale beginning December 1. More
than half a billion seals have been
printed for distribution to state and
local agents. In addition to the
seals Health Bonds" in denomina-
tons ranging from $500 to $1,000
are to be sold In lieu OF seals to
large contributors, who do not send
out a sufficient quantity OF mall IN
December to make use Of all the seals
they would like to purchase. The
combined quotas Of all the state or
ganizations call for more than $8,5OO.-
600 to carry out the intensive educa-
tional campaign being conducted Dy
the National tuberculosis Association
and its 1000 affiliated societies.
The Intensive sale OF these seals
represents a practical demonstration
Of every lesson that has been learned
regarding scientific distribution. Elk
merits of the highest standing In sales
management have co-operated to the
extent of assuring those interested
that every resident Of the Omitted
States win have an opportunity to buy
Red Gross Christmas Seals.
