TAG DAY GOAL PASSED.
Sales for Home of Blind Net 81, 900,
Maybe More.

The $500 goal of the tag day
committee for the Home of the Blind,
was overshot by $500 yesterday, when
$4,000 Washingtonians contributed to
the tag sale instead of the estimated
$4,000.
The funds had not all been counted
at late hour last night, but indica-
tons were that the $4,000 had easily
been reached. according to Mrs. jose
phine Jacobs. president of the Aid AS
ISOLATION for the Blind Of the District
of Columbia.
Assisting Mrs. Jacobs were sixty
young lady "taggers."
So great was the rush during the
day that 5000 extra tags were rushed
from the printers.
The home for the blind. which is
housing more than a score Of unfortu-
mates. is located at 1850 r street. The
funds were needed to make up.a def
cit in expenses for the current ear.

Col. Clarence s. Ridley, engineer Of
ficer in charge of public buildings
that he was in thorough sympathy
with the District authorities in their
efforts to conserve the water supply
Of the District and to prevent waste
wherever possible.
1t was on that account. he said, that
he had ordered complete suspension
Of the operation Of all the public
fountains under his Jurisdiction sup
piled by the District water system
and the use Of only the smallest pos.
sible quantity Of water for the
preservation Of the plants and flowers
In the public parks. He said that the
operation of the public fountains in
the various parks was discontinued
last summer when the water con-
sumption got above the safe daily
average. and that they had not been
put in operation since that time.
That statement, he explained, did
not apply to the Columbus fountain
and the two thanking fountains on tn
plaza in front of the Union station.
Those three fountains he said, are
not connected with the District water
supply system. being fed by pumps
! using the original supply Of water
continuously, and therefore cause no
waste.
