URGES CLUB TO AID j CRITTENTON HOME Dr. Isaac Ward’s Plea for Funds Based on Work for Un- fortunates. Outlining the “immeasurable good” rendered unfortunate girls in its ¢hirty-two yvears of existence, Dr. Isaac Ward of the board of managers of the Florence Crittenton Home ap- peiled to the members of the Civitan Club for their undivided support in the campaign now being conducted to raise funds for the new home of the institution. “It would be impossible for me to detail here the great work accomp- lished by this most worthy institution during its long and useful career.” said Dr. Ward. ‘Regardless of creed, mect, nationality or social condition, for thirty-two vears it has cared for those poor girls left alone and de- in this great city, and never this year has its managers appealed to the public at large for ssistance. 1 could talk here until tired of the specific cases benefited by those afliliated with Crittenton Home, but feel it only necessary to let’ such men as you know that a fund must be subseribed to help defray expense of its new home.” Dr. Ward paid tribute to the won- derful sagacity and business acumen of the board of woman governors of the institute, and said that never in his experience had he met with such open-minded, charitable and indefa- tigable workers. The club, while unable to subscribe in a body sured the speaker of support of its member- Ward was tendered a rising vote of thanks for his address. Clarence L. Harding, president, ap- pealed for a 100 per cent attendance at the forthcoming inter-civic club dinner, when Julius Barnes, president of the United States Chamber of Com- merce, will be the principal speaker. ————e e POLITE BANDITS OFFER TO RETURN $3 LOAN Tt must be a pleasure to be robbed &5 painlesely as was Dennis O'Connor, taxi driver, last night. Everything ‘was done so courteously that Dennis could not well refuse the gentleman- 1y request for funds. ‘When Dennis handed over $3, the bandits, two white men whom he had picked up at 11th and F streets for a drive to the suburbs, profusely thanked him, and explained that the money was wanted only as a loan. Furthermore, they assured him the §3 would be mailed back to him as soon as possible. Despite the fact that the driver had more money and a watch in other pockets the hold-up men seemed srateful for and satisfied with the small sum given them. The tete-a-tete took place at Murdock Hill road on the way to American University. ASKS ABSOLUTE DIVORCE. Mrs. Olive H. Claspell has filed suit for an absolute divorce from Walter €. Claspell.

AMUSEMENTS Kitt-Knabe Recital. Maurice Shrowskl, violinist, an un- usually gifted artist, presented a pleasing program last night, at the Kitt-Knabe Hall. He was assisted by Frank_Schoedler, who recently came to Washington as a pianist. The opening number was a delight- ful duet for violin and piano, a sev- enteenth century sonata, by Nachez. Mr. Shrowskl's notes were full of color and beauty. Mrs. Shrowskl ac- companied her husband in his group, which_included the famillar “Vien- nese Melody” of Brahms-Hochstein which Kreisler has made so_popular, Vialin Maker of Cremona,’ e's, “Gypsy Airs” and the love- Minuett” of Handel. Schoedler gave a group of Chopin numbers and an_inferesting -prelimi- etch. The “Scherso B Flat Minor” "was. particularly fine The “Second Hungarian Rhapsody” of Liszt, was the final number and was glyen with splendid interpretation. These concerts, to which the public is invited and for which no admission is charged, have informal atmosphere and give evidence of increasing de- mand for really good music in Wash- ington. —_— Ignorance is supposed to be bliam but it isn’t even a good counterfeit. the Florence |= You will make no mis- take in bringing your negatives to us for de- veloping and printing— we have specialists in our employ- who devote their entire time to giv- ing our customers sat- isfactory service.
