Col. Edward Clifford Tells
Workers Washington Can
Afford Amount Sought.

Afford Amount Sought.
"A community that spends $40,
100000 every year for its automo
biles can afford 100000 to keep ur
the life-saving service of Emergency
and Casualty hospitals" declared
Col. Edward Clifford, chairman OF
the 100000 campaign for the two
institutions, in a speech to the cam
paign workers today when they
brought in 1886, making the total
Of the fund to date $4,000.
If Washington were a poor com
munity in the Northwest wheat
belt where crops had failed" he
said, lit might be said that this is
"a large fund to raise, but in a
wealthy community like Washing.
ton this appeal to provide for the
continuance Of service which may
at any time mean life or death to
any one Of us is little enough for
the community to meet"
Mrs. Wilson Contributes.
Woodbury. Blair, president of the
board of directors Of Emergency
and Casualty, announced a contri-
button 'as evidence of appreciation
of the work being done by
Emergency and Casualty Hospitals
from Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.
Colonel Clifford congratulated the
workers on their. enthusiasm and
their splendid work. He told them
that Washington Is we'll able to
give the half million dollar fund
many times over.
He estimated that the Govern
ment pays about a quarter Of IL
billion dollars in salaries, which
Washington people have to spend.
'Is there any place in the United
States" he asked, where most Of
the people are so sure Of large
and steady income as this? The
Washington public has the money:
the service of these hospitals Is
vital to them; we must show them
this fact"
