A. ical way of helping those who
are less fortunate than our

Because it is the noblest gesture that
humanity has yet made In recognition
of the brotherhood Of mankind, and
that is the very soul and essence of all
religion.
Because it knows no creed, no color,
no race. It only knows that there is
poverty and want, that there is hunger
and cold, that there is sickness and
suffering 1t only knows that there are
forlorn old people with nowhere to lay
their weary heads; that there are babes
with no mothers breast to shelter them
that there are desperate men who have
walked the streets until their shoes
are threadbare hunting the work they
cannot ind, and it gives unto each of
these miserable ones according to his
needs.
Efficiency Is Provided.

Because it enables the charitable in

people in the aims houses have better

Because it enables me to help, in a

To SEE TEAM

Students. alumni. and fans of
George Washington University are
anxious to see what kind of a
team Coach Jim Pixlee trots out
on the Central Stadium gridiron
| to oppose. Shenandoah College on
Saturday afternoon.
Unless Shenandoah upsets the
dope and presents an unusually
strong club, Coach Pixlee hopes
to use every available man on
his squad, although it appears
that four of them won't see any
action at all.
Johnny FenlOn and Lee Car
lin. both veteran backs, are
definitely out of it, while Johnny
Lannan, reserve guard, and
big Bob Galloway, left end,
also are incapacitated. Ian
nan has a broken nose, and
Galloway is suffering with an
injury to his back that is not
healing satisfactory.
The Colonials unless prevented
by soft field, are scheduled
to go through a stiff drill today
on the Tidal Basin grid. Baked
yesterday by the heavy RAIN,
Coach Pixie had to take his squad
indoors in the gym and put them
through long skull practice TO-
gether with a short signal drill.
A scrimmage is likely to be
held today, following which Coacn
Pixlee probably will make up his
mind on his starting lineup.

Although New York, Chicago,
Detroit, Cleveland and Miami in
terests are negotiating for Jacks
services. he declared that he was
inclined to give the Reno pro-
moters first call on his future
fight plans.
IF l feel that my condition
warrants it," said Dempsey, 81
