Plan to Double Amount of Thanks.
giving Dinners That We're Dis
tributed Last Year.

Double as many baskets issued
last Thanksgiving will be distrib-
uted among the poor this year, Mrs.
Minnie r. Barker, superintendent
Of the West End settlement. said
this morning.
Although plans have not been
made for the distribution, the set
Element is preparing for twice the
number of dinners given out last
Thanksgiving. With practically no
funds with which to complete the
baskets most of which are donated
by the children of the public
schools, the institution is asking
families to give donations of meats,
chicken or butter.
Over forty baskets were given to
poor families last year Nearly one
hundred will be distributed this
year, if enough funds and donations
are secured. The Thanksgiving
dinners are given out by the settle
ment, while the Rock Island Wei
fare association distributes the
Christmas baskets.
Continued requests for clothing
and shoes are received by the set
Element from poor families in the
west end of the city. Any contri-
buttons of clothing and shoes to the
institution to be given the needy
will be accepted.

ENVY CHILDREN
WHO ARE GIVEN
FOOD IN RUSSIA

Petrograd.-Cases of American
milk. bags of American sugar and
-four and boxes of American cocoa
are a tantalizing sight to Russians
as they are moved through the
streets of Petrograd, All the pop
ulation is envious of the children
who are given food which money
cannot buy.
The American relief administra-
ton offices here are besieged by
foreigners and Russians who want
to buy food and are anxiously
awaiting the time when warehouses
may be established in Petrograd
where food drafts may be ex-
changed for American products
now stored here by the child feed
ers.

STA many days before he begins to
understand the great affection with
which Emma Goldman is reported
to have regarded the little store of
American timed goods which she
brought with her to Soyietland-
Every can of timed American
milk is a letter from home and a
tin of bully beef is almost as well
come. American army biscuits
taste better than angel food and
army jam smacks of heaven.

steward and cook. as is the case
in Russia now. prepared or partly
prepared foods are Indispensable
The markets afford no wood nor
coal. There is no hard alcohol
Cooking is confined largely to lit
tie oil stoves which are so demon
strative that a novice feels as if he
were palming a hand grenade.
Cafes are few and far between.
They are still very small and offer
little variety in their menus. Most
of them do not open until II a. M

Their sweets are saccharine. Sug-

making a night fight. Wright,

that no charge has been preferred
against the mechanician. all efforts
being concentrated on the bringing

Federal Law on Automobile

TNCLE SAM evidently wants to
- tighten up on the automobile
thieves. The senate has passed an
amendment to the act of 1919. Sena-
tor Nelson of Minnesota said of the
amendment: 4N lira 9tf@ -
"The only amendment proposed to
be made in the law is to put in the
word 'embezzlement,' so as to include
not only cases where the automobile
is stolen, but as well cases Of embez-
element. The distinction is very well
put by the Supreme court of the
United States in the case Of Moore vs..
The United States Geo U. s., 269),
where the court says,
'Embezzlement Is the fraudulent
appropriation of property by person
to whom such property has been en-
trusted or into whose hands 1t has
lawfully come. 1t differs from larceny
In the fact that the original taking Of
the property was lawful or with the
consent Of the owner, while in the case
Of larceny the felonious intent must
have existed at the time Of the taking.
-This bill simply proposes to amend
the law so as to cover those cases
where man may have hired an auto
mobile or may have come into posses
sion Of an automobile and afterward
concluded to embezzle It,"
The act, as amended, reads as fol
lows:
