ington. The Emergency Home is a
part of the Central Union Mission
which belongs to and is the agent of
WaShington's Protestant churches. Be
ing inseparably associated with religion,
the Central Union Mission did not feel
it could accept the invitation to enter
the Community Chest, the funds of
which cannot be used for purely re-
ligious work. For As years, the Mis-
sions charity has been associated with
religion as means of retaining
human beings to self-respecting, use
full lives In the children's work, our
mission is preventive more than a
reclamation one. AS our work in all
cases is accompanied by religious work.
we feel that our charity is essentially
of religious nature. For such reasons
the ministerial council advised and the
board of directors decided that the
Mission could not consistently join the
Community Chest"

Care for Unfortunate
Children of City.
BY GRETCHEN S. SMITH.

Washington lay blanketed beneath
the heaviest snowfall of the Winter. A
freezing wind whipped across a dark
little street in the Southeast.
The door of shabby house opened
and a gaunt woman with dazed ex-
preston led three small children
scantily clothed, out into the frozen
street. A few shabby pieces of furni-
ture lay piled outside. The woman
paused in front Of her furniture as
man who had followed closed and
locked the front door behind him.
Sorry, Mrs. Jones" he said, IT'S
tough to put you out night like this,
but you can't go on forever without
payin' rent. Better go to your friends
for the night, So long
The woman stood staring at the
mans retreating figure so long and ST
lently that the children began to cry.
The mother was too bewildered to heed
the cries. An officer passing some dis
lance down the street paused, however,
as he heard the children's walls.
1t was not long before he again
heard an old, old story. The father
of the children, a neer-do- well-moth-
er i'll and unable to work, rent months
overdue, and a postponed evacu-
alton by a necessity pressed landlord.
ITS not me" sobbed the mother.
I've got a friend thatu take me IN.
But it's the children"
'''I guess we can take care of them,
alright" the officer replied Come
with me to the station and I'll call the
Emergency Home"
Home Welcomed Children.
It did not take long for the answer
to come. A hearty welcome awaited
the three Shivering little ones at the
Childrens Emergency Home, which
since 1925 has stood in the heart of
WaShington's business section at 624
Louisiana avenue.
Mrs. Jones, directed by the police
officer, soon found her way to the great
Seven-story building made possible
through the generosity of Mrs. John j.
Duff, who gave the first big bequest
of 100000 toward the new building

Accused of SANDER in Refusing to
Have Ship Wamed for Him.

HAMBURG, February rs (P).-Gen.
Erich Ludendorff's request to the Ham
burg-American Line to change the
name Of one of its steamers bearing his
name is the basis of a civil suit for
SANDER here.
The former German army general
issimo requested the change of name
on the ground that the vessels dilapi-
dated condition made it unworthy for
it to bear the name of Ludendorff. This
so incensed the vessels first officer

Beautiful hair !!

Modern hair dressers arrange the
hair so beautifully that it's bound to
attract attention. That's why it's so
important to guard its color and
lustre; keep it in perfect condition.
There is no surer, simpler way to
do this than with Danderine Each
time you use your brush, just moisten
it with this delicately fragranced
liquid Then as you draw it through
your hair, it removes the excess oil:
brings out the natural color; makes
the hair fairly sparkle with new lie
and lustre
How much easier it is to arrange
the hair afterwards. How it stays in
place And try setting the waves
with Danderine. They stay in so
much longer.
Danderine quickly dissolves the
crust of dandruff; puts the scalp in
the pink of condition; helps the hair
to grow long, silky and abundant!

a question which has become so inn
portant. The Klair law is vicious, it
ignores absolutely the opinions of a
vast majority of the medical profess
sion and forces physicians to Sc
cure liquor illegally to save the
lives of patients.
81 wish to go on record with you
at this time that l am fully pre-
/ pared from now on to use every
proper influence to secure a refer
endum and either a repeal or SER
ious modification of the Klair law.
81 trust the Republican Party will
would not become an opponent of
Mr.. Virden for Speaker should the
latter decide to try for that honor.
Representative John T. Talley, of
Brandywine Hundred, another mem

considered for the speakership.
Representative Bud Coy, of

Leaders are being urged to call
members of the legislature together
for a caucus some time next month
to talk over in a general way some
of the legislative problems that may
come before them and if possible to |
start in advance a study of some of |
them, so that time may be saved |
when the legislature cOnvenes in
regular session.
Suggestions have been made that |
the Republican majority caucus
convene some time this month to
agree upon tentative plans for or
ganization. If this is done commit
tee assignments will be made and
proposed legislation submitted be-
fore the convening of the General
Assembly. The sponsors of this
plan hope to save much time, as a
number of bills would be ready to
be acted upon without long waits in
1t is said that Governor Buck is
in favor of such plan, but whether
he will make a suggestion to MEM
bers of the Assembly is another
matter. 1t is certain, however, that
there will be a get-acquainted gath
ering of the members before the end
Of the present year. 1t is stated that
of the budget, which is
an important and long-drawn-out
could be started before
The legislature meets if the House
and Senate committees could be
agreed upon in advance.
Reports of several commissions
appointed to consider legislative
could be referred to var /
Gus committees which would also
