This may seem far afield from our
subject of Charity Chiseling," but it
actually fits into our picture perfectly,
because the Washington youngster
who has been reared in the atmos-

delinquency; and to create an interest
among the citizens Of Washington In
their responsibilities to youth.
There is membership OF $500 boys
throughout the District, which makes
it one of the largest and most i'm

OF the finest features are the medical
and dental clinics, which are con-
duced by the club in cooperation with
the physicians and hospitals Of the
city.
Any contribution made by the citi-

should be considered a sound invest

which has shown that it is an efficient
and effective method Of reducing de-
linquency, and thereby preventing
crime, deserves the fullest support and
cooperation of every one.
