No matter how much you drive, EBONITE is always shere, and lowers all costs. A memorial fund to furnish needed eveglasses for patlents of the Epis- copal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital and its free dispensary who other- wise would be unable to buy them Is the latest of a list of charitable activities of the K. F. R. Club, which extends back nearly fifty years. The K. F. R. Club (nobody except members knows what the letters !stand for, and the last survivor will take the secret with him) may be new to some Washingtonlans. Mighty few hereabouts are older, however. It is the continuation of a boys' club founded in 1871 by a group of local youngsters, which in- cluded Jesse Grant, son of President Grant, and a number of others who have risen to prominence here and elsewhere. The memorial fund is intended as a practical tribute to the late William Henry Fox, well known oculist of Washington, one of the founders of the local hospital and forty-four years a member of the K. F. R. It is hoped it will total $50.000. The K. F. R. “bo; although not now nearly so numerous as they once | were, have a way of putting things like this over.
