4 REAL ESTATE. REDCROSS JUNIOR POSING AS SANT. Will Send. Christmas Gifts to Less Fortunate Friends in Foreign Lands. American school children, members of the Junior Red Cross, will play Santa Claus to thousands of their less fortunate friends in foreign lands this Christmas, according to an an- nouncement made at national head- quarters of the American Red Cross Yosterday. A total of 100,000 com- Dletely stocked Christmas boxes are Jbeing sent to as many children in Europe and in our own insular pos- sessions, it was said. These practical expressions of cheer and help are the gifts of the Amer- fcan Junior Red Cross army of 5,000,000 school children to their Junior Red Cross friends overseas. With whom they maintain interschool correspondence throughout the year. Shipments of thousands of these boxes to the countries lylng on the Baltic have alrcady been made. to insure thelr arrival before ice closes the Baltic ports. Cargo space is now being reserved for steamers leaving for Balkan ports. Then will come shipments to France, Italy and Belgium, the work to be concluded with the forwarding of the Christmas boxes to Porto Rico, Santo Domingo, Haiti, Virgin Islands and Canal Zone. The country that will receive the largest number of the good cheer hoxes is Poland, which is listed for 12,000 Austria, Hungary and Jugo- slavia’ will each receive 10,000 boxes; Bulgaria, Ruthenia, France and Rumania, 5,000 ‘each: Belgium and Italy, 3,000 each; Albania and Mon- tenegro, 500 each, and the Baltic states, 2,000 cach. SAYS STEAM WILL HOLD OWN AGAINSTELECTRICITY Speaker From Baldwin Locomotive ‘Works Addresses Mechani- cal Engineers.

His talk was fllustrated and showed how the modern ‘locomotive saves coal. Dr. C. H. Gish of the laboratory of terrestrial magnetism of the Carnegie Institution also delivered an illustrated lecture. his subject being “Natural Eleutrlc Currents in the Earth's ust.” Out of respect to the memory of C. P. Steinmetz, who died yesterday, the assembly stood for a_moment with bowed heads. H. L. Whittemore of the bureau of standards, ‘chairman of the society, presided. It was an- nouneeq that the society would meet n e las ay of h throughout the winter. o TONth i CRITTENTON HOMES ‘ OFFICER TO SPEAK| —i Robert S.
