HOSPITAL DRIVE
F|VE-E|GHTHS OVER,
SUM NOT HALF IN
More Than $4,000 Must Be
Raised by Monday
Night.

The drive for 100000 to enable the
equipment and facilities of the Chill
dren's Hospital to catch up with the
improvements made in recent years
in medicine, surgery, sanitation and
dietetics, is five-eighths over, but the
sum is only about half complete.
The campaign will end Monday night
and in the meantime more than $50
900 must be raised by the 800 volun-
teer workers. One of these workers,
particularly conspicuous for her en-
ergy in the drive activities, let it be
known last night that she was a
patient in the hospital when child,
and the memory and appreciation OF
the care she received then is con-
stantly with her
Playground Pennies Help.
A number Of dollars has been raised
by the youngsters who patronize the
popular public playground at the cor
ner of 23d and S streets northwest.
Miss Malone and Mr.. Heinline, in
charge, have installed a box for the
purpose and steady stream OF pen
mics and nickels is dropped therein
by small mittened fingers. Tonight
a bonfire party has been arranged for
the clientele Of the playground, when
the total is expected to be increased
considerably.
The large doll. beautifully dressed
Fort Dressmaking Company. was
auctioned off at the intermission at
Keith's Theater last night and brought
big price. which will go to swell the
fund. l
