NEED MORE FUNDS
FOR OPPORTUNITIES
Xmas Campaign for Deserving
Poor Has Not Reached
Goal Desired.

Tho Fourteen Christmas Oppor-
tunity fund OF the Associated Chart
ties haad received up to noon ycstcr-
day S7,S5l5l
Opportunities 8, q. and 10 were
fully provided for and declared
closed. The other eleven opportuni-
ties were still lacking the quota re-
quired for complete maintenance the
coming year. in sums varying from
$50 to S3I
While the amounts still needed are
large the Associated Charities reports
hat the funds received this year arc
the largest in the eleven years his
terry OF the opportunity appeal. ex-
cept last year, whom Edward II. Nc
Lean, several days before Christmas,
made up the balances needed at that
time by subscribing $1,000 to close
the 1919 list.
Ono reason for the large balances
still required in some of this years
opportunities is the fact that the
budgets of the fourteen families were
larger by $1,000 than in 1919 This
means that the resources within the
families are smaller and that the
costs for rent, fuel, and clothing had
not decreased, but rather increased,
while food is still nearly twice as
high as in prcwartimes.
II is hoped that tomorrow mornings
mail at the Social Service House, a2S II
street northwest will bring in sub
stantial sums from belsted contribu-
tons, and that by the New Year sew
eral more of the opportunities will
be closed.

Little Hope House Will Pass I'm
portant Legislation at

District OF Columbia legislation
will mark time In the House until
after New Year.
With the Interruption of the brief
Christmas holiday. ending Monday
the House District Committee does
not intend to get together again IN
Ill after January I.
Hope of the passage of any I'M
portant District legislation during
The present short session Is very
slight 1t is possible that the pro-
posed traffic bill will be squeezed
through, sandwiched between appro-
priation bills, before next March 4.
ConEressmen Zihlman Of Maryland. who
is In charge of this piece OF reform
legislation, expects to have II re-
ported from the committee shortly
after New Year. 1t will be changed
e.. many respects. but the two fun
damentals of the bill. recommenda-
lions for a traffic court aud jail

be Incorporated in the measure when
II Is reported.
There is also a chance that the
Curtis-Gard child labor bill for the
District Of Columbia also win be re-
bill is designed to break up the EN-
ployment of minors in tho District
Besides this. it provides for compui
sorry school attendance for children
~ young as six years and the com
pilation Of a school census.
Outside of these two measures. little
may be expected in the shape OF DIS
trict legislation.
The proposed merger of Washing
TONS two street railway systems UNI
doubtedly will be allowed 10 slumher
until next session without being dis
turbed. This also may be said to
apply to Congressman Mapes' bill to
create y new public utilities commits
sion, although he intends TO bring up
its consideration in committee during
this session.
These two measures provide the
most important work that lies before
the District Committee. Various pro-
posals submitted have been hacked
to pieces at hearings and during
meetings Of the committee with a re-
suit that comprehensive bills, cover
ing both subjects, will be reported
cut in time, but hardly before the
next Congress-.

m instrations.
While the bulk of the gifts arrived
Friday night and Saturday morning
delivery vehicles Of Washington
tradesmcn have been coming in a
steady stream at the White House

they planned to deliver personally.
For the Christmas dinner. a strict
ly informal affair, Mrs. Wilson's rela-

Aside from that there was nothing
in the line of festivities. not even SO
much as a Christmas tree with deco

DR.. Cary T. Grayson, had warned
against any excitement which might
retard his patients recovery.

ment to crystalline sentiment in favor
Of tho Brooks resolution for interna-
tional disarmament. and the meeting

tention upon the misleading propa-
ganda put out by the various govern
ments that this was "a war to end

world Is asking for Ave times as
heavy appropriations for war as ever
In the history OF tho world.
Tho women are working for con-
structivo measures and will oppose

Mrs. Robert NJ. La Toilette, wife Of
the senator from Wisconsin. was tho
f,rst speaker OF tho afternoon. She
said:
I'VE women have tho power. We
have tho ballot, and on tho issue OF
militarism We hold the balance OF
power. We are going to watch Con.
gross and use our votes to defeat SEN
ators and Representative In Congress
who stand for war and militarism."
Mrs Charles Edward Russell, In her
argument, said that Il Is criminal
lunacy for the United States Govern
ment to appropriate % per cent OF It's
total revenues for destructive pur-
poses and per cent for all other con-
structive purposes, as revealed by the
United states Bureau of Standards
estimates."

leqaIIy Keep New Posts.

UPPER MARLBORO. Md. Dec. 2s.---
Although appointed by the county
commissioners for Prince Georges
county as constables for Hyattsville
district, there IL understood to be
doubt as to whether William II. Toein
and William r. Corners can qualify
for such positions. Robert w. Wells,
counsel to the board, states that the
law specifies each election district in
the county shall have two constables.
II Tobin and Corners qualify,
Hyattsvillc district will have three
such officers, as Thomas III. Garri-
son Is now serving. II Is intimated
that the first OF the two appointees
to qualify for tho position by giving
bond, etc, may land tho vacancy and
crowd the othor out. Robert w. Wells
has been requested TO furnish the
board with an opinion i'm the matter.
Three applicants appeared before
the board--Tohln, Corners and 8. j.
calvin. II has been matter of much
speculation for several weeks as TO
who would get the 100. The county
commissioners have twice postponed
their decision.

morning. He was quito a while re-
turning Mt that Alfred was prob
ably wondering who had snarled
the streets up--tney used to look
rather straight. At any rate, he
finally got to the apartment house
and tried tho front door. Tho world
suddenly became n cold and cruel
place TO Alfred. The door was
locked
After worrying around n bit. no
decided TO go UP the nro escape.
Tho first floor he navishted in
safety. Then the ladder began
moving around under his feet. But
tho ladder wasn't alone to blame.
Tho building was moving some, too.
Alfred finally laid the blame on the
old earth, which evidently was hav-
ing heaves or something.
At any rate, when no reached the
second floor something happened
and Alfred did noso dive, He
landed with n crash on the hard
pavement two stories below.
Somebody heard Alfred crying
alone In the dark night and no was
taken to Emergency Hospital. Ha
fractured two ribs, but that wasn't

They discovered many cars which
they recognized as belonging to

the roads. but they were unable to
stop them. on one occasion, Revenue
Officer Green gave chase In his ma
chine. but the bootleggers put MIA
machine out of business by shooting
of the rim OF a wheel.
During the past two weeks there
has been a steady stream OF whiskey
coming into Washington. and for the
frst time in many months real good
stun" has come in, tho prohibition
officers say. Tho Christmas demand
boosted the price from $40 TO SIS per
quart
The only arrests tina, nave been
made during the past fortnight have
been in those cases where the police
or prohibition officers recognized the
car and telephoned into Washington,
so that the police were waiting at
the homes OF the alleged bootleggers.
