It looked at noon today as II the
Good Fellow army was going to be
recruited to its last years strength
In record time. But while this
good news was being recorded there
was another side OF the picture
being shown.
Charity workers and others in
terested in the welfare Of the poor
began to bring in the names OF fam
lilies that are threatened with a
gloomy Christmas. 1t became evil
dent as these reports were conf
piled that even last years great
Good Fellow army, II 1t were mo-
bilized to full strength again this
year, would be inadequate to care
for all the kiddies faced with q
cheerless Christmas.
Expect Big Reinforcements.
A big recruiting of Good Fellows
is expected today. Thanksgiving
always has been a great day for
the lining up Of Good Fellows. The
first Good Fellow enlistment was
from a club. A number Of work.
ers banded together volunteered to
take care of several families.
The part of the blank listing the
section of the city the Good Fellow
desired to visit on Christmas was
filled in as follows:
ANY part Of the city where there
is gloom which we may banish."
That is particularly pleasing to
the Good Fellow editor. II a Good
Fellow Is prepared to go to any
part of the city 1t makes 1t much
easier to match the Good Fellow
and the needy family.
Women Are Welcomed.
OF course 1t Is well understood
among the former Good Fellows
that no sex line is drawn. Some
of those unfamiliar with the Good
Fellow creed might think 1t was
strictly a masculine proposition. AS
q matter Of fact, II has been the
women Of Washington who have
sent the Good Fellow idea over the
top every year since its inaugura-
ton.
Remember. again. Thanksgiving
Is one of the best possible DAYS to
become a Good Fellow. 1t does not
take a great deal of money. 1t
remains for you to decide just how
strongly you can go. A little
twenty-five cent doll, box of
candy, a bright red cap. or a
basket Of fruit might serve to make
some home very happy. There are
other places where a pair Of gloves,
a suit Of clothes. or pair of shoes
would be about the happiest kind
OF Christmas present.

FOURTH TRIAL

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Nov. 80.
Arthur c. Burch today faced a
fourth trial for the murder Of J.
Bolton Kennedy, following the dis
missal of the jury of his third
trial by Judge John Shenk last
night when the jury reported 1t
was impossible for them to reach
a verdict. The final ballot stood
seven to five for acquittal.
May Drop Case.
1t was problematical today wheth.
er or not Burch will ever be tried
again. In view of the fact that
juries in three trials have failed to
reach q verdict, the district at
torneys office is expected to move
for a dismissal of the case.
Just what I expected" was the
only statement Burch would make
following the dismissal Of the jury.
