Salvation Army

Almost every other year for the
last nine years big, smiling Dutch.
man has hammered home q message
to the Monday Evening Club. Last
night, his high-collared Salvation
Army coat unbuttoned, he appeared
in behalf Of homeless men and
brought q unanimous response from
the nearly 200 gathered.
Maj. Gilbert s. Decker, public re-
lations and welfare secretary of the
Salvation Army, asked for some
kind Of action on the proble<, OF
the hundreds in the Nations Capital
who night after night find them
selves without shelter. He urged
the building Of modern municipal
lodging house for these men and
the creation Of a bureau for home
less men as separate department
Of the Board of Public Welfare.
An immediate expression of ap-
proval came from the assembly
Maj. Charles Dodd. his co-worker
in the army, suggested using the
old Police Court Building at Sixth
and D streets NV. He also offered
resolution, carried unanimously
that set up committee to study
the entire problem.
Pictures Hopelessness.
'The symbol of the ineffectiveness
Of the ineficiency of our way OF
life." is what Maj. Decker called the
wanderers. ITO me no other word
in the English language brings
quite the mental picture of hopeless
ness, failure, defeat. despair as does
the word homeless
During the bitter cold weather Of
the last few weeks the inadequate
shelters of Washington have beer
jammed with men-hungry, cold and
without sufficient clothing, in many
cases-with feet bleeding and al
most bare-in greater numbers than
there were accommodations avail
able. and so night after night men
set up in the chapels of at least two
of these institutions"
Last night, as every night. he said
there are more than 1000 men de-
pendent upon shelters that have
resources for only s57 of them.
David Linden, assistant director
Of the non-residence service of the
Board of Public Welfare, outlined
the work of his group and told how
its primary purpose was to send

The lively discussion which fol-
lowed was led by Miss Beatrice
Hodgson, director of the public re-
lations of the Community Chest
Ray Everett, director of the Social
Hygiene Society, presided over the
program.
During brief business session
two resolutions were passed. One
introduced by Leifur Magnusson or
behalf Of the Legislative Committee
put the group on record as favorinf
that the question Of reorganization
of the administrative branch Of th'
District government be dealt Will
separately from the question Of loca
