GOSPEL MISSION
'T0CONTNUE
DRIVE
100000 Absolutely Needed,
Officials Say, to Keep Up
Work for Needy.

Continuation of the drive for
500 900 by the Gospel Mission,
John Marshall place, was decided
upon at meeting of officers and
directors yesterday. The campaign
will be carried on with renewed
vigor.
While expressing qualification at
the response of the public so TAR,
1t was realized that further solici-
tation would be necessary in order
to raise funds absolutely needed by
the institution for carrying on and
extending its work. If the worthy
but needy men and women, who
daily apply for aid, are not to be
turned away, money must be OBJ
tanned Immediately.
1t was accordingly agreed that
canVassing of individuals, organiza-
tions and business houses would go
on with the probability of shortly
starting an intensive drive OF
"Whirlwind" character.
Teams represented by their cap
tains at the conference reported
total of $4,000 for the seven day
period. Included in this total were
the cash receipts and pledges col
lected at the mass meeting in
Polls Theater Sunday, when Mary
Agnes Vitchestain. fourteen-year-
old evangelist and high school girl.

Undesirable Characters

Fearing that race track followers
who do not fare we'll during the

their losses by turning a job in
Washington, police officials today
sent broadcast a general lookout
reminder to all members of the

Referring to the impending race
meet. the lookout addressed to po-
lice captains says:
You will instruct the members
of your command to be on the look
out for suspicious characters, be
alert at all times, observe closely all
store doors and windows, both front
and rear, on their beats"
Painting the gentry which follows
in the wake Of race meetings as "un-
desirable" the police lookout makes
the following observation:
"A large number of people who
follow the races stop in this city
during the meet, some Of whom are
very undesirable and will he found
