The idea that the building was to be

Of q memorial building, is extremely
generous in offering for the purpose
land, the value Of which will reach
into thousands of dollars. Should
the building be constructed on land
other than that owned by the .Univcr-

by the State and would cost between

My Dear Reader:

My Dear Reader:
wish you to regard this little
Christmas story as personal letter.
It happened one cold. crisp Christ

store in city not necessary to name.
Within was arranged in splendid
masses every type Of toy to gladden.
the heart Of childhood. Coming and
going in eager, anxious haste were
mothers and fathers clad in stylish,
as well as comfortable clethes' their
faces smiling because they knew the
10Y they were making reaey for the
coming morrow. There were also
little ones in that throng who in their
childish cunning knew full we'll that
many OF those self same toys would
hang ON their Christmas trees, placed
there by mysterious Santa Claus,
and they were glad.
But all seemed to fail Or refuse to
see a poor, thinly clad mother. whose
face showed that she had known
brighter and better days. Clinging
TO her hand was q little girl of six,
whose only Christmas Joy would be
the view of the toys which tomorrow
would be the actual possession OF
thousands of happy children. 1
watched her for a few minutes and
realized that this was only too true
Presently a man attired in his every
day working clothes nlodestly slipped
into the mothers hand a crisp Five
Dollar bill with the request that she
spend it for the little ones happiness.

gratitude.
Now, my dear friend. as this
Christmas Season approaches there
are two hundred and fifty thousand

tears for Christmas toys. but tears

hunger and to keep their starved and
emaciated bodies from falling by the

no father to hear their cries because
he mas been killed by the cruel Turk.
Neither is there any mother, nor will
there be, to wipe away their tears,
for they have been scattered into
the mountains and deserts, in many
cases never to see their loved ones
again. Fifty thousand of these

URGES RETENTION
OF RED CROSS SPIRIT

Sound citizenship recognizes
world responsibility. and the Amer
lean. who cannot see that he should
be interested in the devitalizcd con-
dition of Europe, is blind" said DR..
Livingston Farrand. in addressing
the National American Red Cross
last night.
The hed Cross spirit waS built
up on a war emotion. When the war
ended the great problem was what
to do with the great machine that
had teen built up. Were We TO
scrap il or to keep it?
The allies saw at the same time
that we did the power of the organ
ization and with one accord they
realized that its future lay in the
great field of relieving distress that
is caused by disease. If we retain
only 10 per cent of this great spirit
we will have greater energy than
that which existed in the Red Cross
before the war"

MERCER URGED
FOR D. C. LINES
Chamber of Commerce Dr.
rectors Approve Chair
man Harper Proposal.

Merger Of Washington's street car
lines was proposed by the board OF
directors of the Chamber of Com
merce at meeting last night, at the
chambers headquarters.
A resolution was adopted urging
voluntary consolidation by the stock
holders Of the companies. The vote
WAS to g.
Robert N. Draper. board chairman.
said the question had been improperly
presented at meetings of citizens as
sociations where it was discussed, and
that the lines could be merged with
out the slightest reduction in value of
the stocks of either company.
Consolidation based upon a physi-
cal valuation is impossible" said
Harper. owing to the fact that from
this standpoint the Washington
Railway and Electric COMPANY is
more valuable than the Capital
Traction, but less valuable from a
standpoint of earning capacity. The
combination should be made upon a
basis of fair valuation of the stock
of each company. This combination
would be of value to stockholders of
both companies"
Harper urged a merger whereby
new company would accept stock
OF the old companies at the rates of
s112 for each share OF Capital Trac-
tion Company stock, $50 for each
share of preferred stock of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company'and $50 for each share of
common stock.
Replying to the objection that
much of the stock of the latter
company was watered. Mr.. Harper
said that none of the living stock
holders had ever profted by this
addition of water and ought not
have to suffer for it.
James T Lloyd said that one rea-
son why the Capital Traction Com
pany did not need additional rev.
enues was that it did not have
so many long suburban lines. The
downtown lines should help sup
port the suburban lines. he said. in
order - "ncourage people to live
away from the heart of the city.
This. he said. would be accom-
plished by merger of the lines.
