Measures to provide ramp on
which to move badly crippled chill
dren at Gallinger Hospital out of
doors were initiated yesterday by the
Twentieth Century Club when res
olution was passed to appropriate
$500 from the clubs reserve fund to
build a wooden ramp at that approx
imated cost. The reserve fund will
only be utilized in case voluntary
contributions, to be solicited, prove
insufficient.

man of the Gallinger Hospital prof.
ect, reported the need of the ramp
to the membership.
A resolution indorsing provision
FOR a small receiving home for chill
dren waiting for Juvenile Court &C
ton was also passed. Presented by
Mrs. Wilbur La Roe, jr:, Legislative
Committee chairman, the resolution
urges that the home be equipped
with adequate recreational and
educational facilities to be used ex-
clusively by children arraigned at
court. Objecting members asserted
there was a greater need for a large
home to care for lost youngsters, ETC.,
as we'll as delinquents. Advocating a
smaller home, Mrs La Roe argued
that in larger institution there
would be danger of ordinary chill
dren mixing with those with criminal
tendencies. The resolution included
measures emphasizing the necessity
for liberalizing boarding rates for
foster children under the sponsor
ship of the Board of Public Welfare
and for more adequate personnel in
caring for the juvenile problem.

luton that the deficiency appro-
priatiOns bill to restore a 10 per

Careless War Talk
disabled bv Major

The importance of civilians safe
guarding military information and
preventing its falling into enemy
possession through careless CONVEX
sation was emphasized by Maj. AL
bert J. Stowe of the War Depart
ment Military Intelligence Division
in an address before the Washing
ton Club last night following a din
ner meeting.
Every day on buses, on trains
and Streetcars, in stores and tav-
erns and other places of assembly
there is unloosed enough converSa-
tional dynamite to conclude this
war on basis vastly different than
that which centers our every hope
and prayer, Maj. Stowe declared.
The speaker explained that many
remarks, passed carelessly between
friends and believed by them to be
of no military value, have conveyed
important tips to enemy spies. He
told of the testimony given recently
by man convicted for espionage.
He confessed to getting his in
formation IN no other way than by
hanging around public places where
defense workers and those in uni
form were wont to gather, picking
oddments out of their conversation
and using these to fill in many a
picture long puzzlipg to the German
intelligence" the speaker said.
There must be no slackening OF
safeguarding conversations until the
war is won, Maj. Stowe emphasized
Until this fight is finished-and
mind you, it isn't finished until ii
is completely won-until this fight
is finished cautious converse ton is
simply one thing we expect of each
other the speaker concluded.
Maj. Stoves appearance was part
OF a program being conducted under
auspices of the National Security
Committee of Owl to make civilians
ever mindful of their responsibility
to keep military information out Of
conversation.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president
of the club.
