Driscoll, fleld seorstary, In an ad- dress before the clty council here. The council. unable to take money from the city treasury to aid the society, heartily indorsed its appeal, and steps are being taken to raise $3,000 here. Rev. Mr. Driscoll s unprecedented demands made upon the society to furnish homes for or phans and other children resulted to a large extent from the increase in criminality in Virginia, the expenses of which the last fiscal year amount- ed to $800.000.

Mr. Driscoll sald there appeared no other alternative than making an as- signment If the budget of $250,000 was not raised by the people uf the state. In 1919 Winchester was asked for $1,200, and the amount raised was more than twice tne quota.
