ROTARIAN INVITATION ACCEPTED; SANTA TO MEET BOYS. AND GIRLS Santa Claus has wired that he will accept the invitation extended to him by the Rotarians to meet the boys and girls of Washington at the Wil- lard Hotel on Wednesday. Santa will arrive in his best reindeer sled about 10 o’clock on Wednesday morning and has promised that for this occasion he will stay until 5 o’clock. Mrs. W. Radcliffe, who has charge of the precious invitations to the party, says there is a list of 4,000 Jucky boys and girls who are to meet the jolly old guest of honor. .Some of the delegates to the conference will also pay their respects to Santa and those that are unable to go Will send their good wishes by a repre- sentative. Invitations have been ex- tended to the President and the cab- inet as well. Some of the little folks who want- ed to go had no nice clothes, but the good fairy from the Rotarians show- ed up again and saw that all who needed them were supplied with nice party outfits. The guests will be the kings and queens of the day, for fifty automo- biles have been provided for them to | ride in. Cars will call at the homes of the little ones and take them to the Willard, the first lot arriving at 10 o'clock. They will then be con- ducted to the banquet hall and be received by the Rotary Club commit- tee, composed of members whose | MUSCLE SHOALS PARLEYS : RESUMED AT WAR OFFICE Representatives of Government and Henry Ford Discuss Lat- ter’s Offer. Negotiations between representa- tives of the government and Henry Ford on the latter's offer to purchase and lease the nitrate and water-power projects at Muscle Shoals, Ala., were resumed yesterday. W. B. Mayo, chief engineer for Mr. Ford. and J. W. Worthington ap- peared in behalf of the Detroit manu- facturer and were received by Secre- tary Weeks in his office shortly after noon. The War Secretary called Sec- retary of Commerce Hoover into the conference, in addition to Maj. Gen. Beach, chief of Army engineers, and Brig. Gen. Harry Taylor, assistant chief of Army engineers. A few moments before the con- ferees began their study of Mr. Fords offer the War Secretary said it was improbable that any decision approx- imating a final agreement would be reached today. Before final action could be taken, he said, it would prob- ably be necessary for Mr. Ford to ap- pear in person. It was not his belief that the representatives of Mr. Ford had been authorized to conclude the negotiations. ROERED name is Bill. The children will then be introduced to Santa Claus him- self and have an_opportunity to tell him face to face how good they have been during the last year and receive a package containing candy, nuts, fruit and toys from. him. Lots of things-have been provided for*the youngsters to see—an organ grinder and his monkey, two Christ- mas trees, performing birds, an or-. chestra, a magician and, best of all, a real live pony to ride on. After the, first lot has left another party will arrive, and. so on all day Iong until 5 o'clock.
