CHRISTMAS GIVING
TOPIC Of COUNCIL
Social Agencies Body Makes
Plans for Preventing Char
ity Duplication.

Plans to prevent duplication of eff
fo-t in Christmas giving and harm
to families through promiscuous char
ity, were made at the first Fall meet
ing of the Washington Council of
Social Agencies. at the Raleigh Hotel
yeste rday afternoon.
John Ihlder, president of the coun-
Gil, was authorized by vote of the
membership to appoint a committee
to devise ways and means for the
work, which is continuation of that
begun by the council two years ago.
The, committee, to be announced
shortly. will consist not only of mem
bers of the council but also of rep
rcsentatives of other organizations
and churches of the city. 1t will be
the duty of this City-wide commit
tee to formulate plans for "a better
celebration of Christmas this year"
Instances of .ReaI Harm" Cited.
Striking instances of real harm
done families by those with the best
intentions in the world. but who un-
fortunately put on a Lady Bounti-
full" attitude and embarrassed poor
but worthy families, were given by
Miss Lydia Burllin of Friendship
House, Mrs J. Z. 5. Neigh of Neigh
borhOod House. and Miss Louise Beall
Of the Associated Charities.
other speakers included Claude
Owen of the kiwanis Club DR.. James
II. Wolfe of the Newcomers Club,
Stephen Takes of the Thirteen Club,

Charities. Or. Walter 5. Uford of the
Associated Charities. Carl GooSeman
OF the Gospel Mission, Mrs. Archl-
bald Hopkins of the Home for Incur
ables and Father Borer of Omaha.
The movement has grown during
recent years. various speakers
brought out. to do away With the
great semi-public celebrations in
which poor children are laden with
candy and gifts and to devote this
money to the Worthwhile charities
and other institutions of the city.
AS instances of this it was brought
out that last year the kiwanis club
had given $1,000 to Friendship House
and 700 to Camp Good Will of the
Associated Charities, and that the Ro-
tary Club had given $1,000 to the
Children's Hospital last year and had
entered upon a fiVe-Near program to
give TO that institution $500 year
President Ihlder opened the meet
ing by telling of the history and
work of the previous committee,
when this matter was first broached
here as protest against promlscu-
Gus Christmas giving. The success
OF efforts of that first committee. he
said. led to strong belief that the
committee to he appointed Will be
even more successful.
Reports of Officers.
Reports of the various officers, in
Guiding those of Mr.. Ihlder presi
dent: Mrs. Charles Goldsmith, vice
PRESIDENT and NeSbo.d Moves were
included in the bulletin of the coun-
Gil issued TO members yesterday.

A N INTERESTING fact has
n been dragged out from its hid
1 ing place in maze of census
report figures and presented
to the American people for considera-
tion. This fact is that the farms,
which are responsible for most of the
nations food supply, have the added
burden Of being main source of the
child supply.
In other words, while the city fam
ily tends to dwindle to proportions
that fit city fiat, the farm family con-
tinues to fill an entire farmhouse. This
contrast has been noted for some
wears, but statistics on farm popula-
tion were not tabulated until the last
census, and the country has not real
lied how great proportion of nom
producers the farms were supporting.
To put 1t into plain figures, If you
compare the 30,OOO,0OO of our farm
population with an equal amount Of
city population, you find that the farms
have 100000 more children under ten
wears than those cities have.
This statement Is made by DIR. G. ].

THE SHADOWS DANCE

said the Shadows. And let all the
Shadows come"
SO the Shadows all came to the
dance. From everywhere they came
ana so many were they that they
spread themselves all out over the
streets-everywhere the Shadows
seemed to be.
This dance was being given in a
city.
When the leading Shadows had first
suggested this party one tlmId little
Shadow had said:
But won't the people hurt me?"
No, no no." the other Shadows
said. Shadows can't be hurt"
So the little Shadow went along
too.
And the dance began.
1t was wonderful dance and the
lights twinkled from the city streets
and the Shadows danced here and
there.
They fitted this way and that, they
were here for moment and then off
again.
Oh, there was nothing they did not
do!

Contrary to general belief. Mrs.
Johnson is not Swedish. She was Har-

she went to live when she married
Magnus Johnson. Two or three trips
up state in Minnesota to visit relatives

Shadows dancing. merrily playing
with one another on the gay and ex-
citing city streets.
How exciting life could be, the little
fear, in n city.
And life could be exciting in the
country, too.
The little Shadow knew that. And
there was fun to be had in rooms in
houses. oh. such games as there were
to be played.
And as the lights twinkled and the
Shadows danced and played they sang
this song:
Gay little Shadows are we.
Merry and bright as can be.
We're filled with a zest.
We won't stop to rest
For gay little Shadows are We.
Gay little Shadows are We.
To this we feel sure you'll agree,
You can't catch us. It's true.
But that wouldn't do.

Gay little Shadows are we.
Merry and bright as can be.

We won't stop to rest

And the Shadows danced and
danced until you would have thought
they could have danced no more, and
many people spoke Of the way the
Shadows were dancing that night, but
they didn't hear the song OF the
Shadows.
The Fairy Queen heard 1t, though
and she asked the Breeze Brothers to
send out the words of the song so that
If could be heard by many, many

Farm Families Larger Than in Cities

latlon studies in the Department Of Ag-
riculture. To make his figures more
vivid. he shows that 2,OOO,O 900 is, rough
ly, about the population of Oklahoma.
II you imagine the task of feeding,
clothing and educating group of peo-
pie Of this size, you have an idea Of
the situation. Then think of the farm
ers supporting their excess burden Of
young children and trying to keep up
with the rising standard of living.
. Children between ten and twenty
years are more numerous on the farms
than in the cities in almost the same
proportion MS those under ten. So, al
together, the farms have an excess
burden of nearly 100000 children, as
compared with the same amount of
city population.
1t is true that the farmer can feed
large family almost as cheaply as a
city man can feed small one. Some
other expenses are lower, too, in rural
districts. And the child on the farm
helps in the work. In its surveys, the
United States children's bureau finds
that farm work is an important form
Of child labor. --4...,.4
