Much is known of the generous spirit of Washington in the matter of charl Knowledge of some acts of generosity frequently reach the pub- lic, but the full story of Washing- ton's altruism {s seldom revealed. Thousands of dollars are contributed annually by Washingtonians to help- ful causes of which the world at large knows but little, if anything. For instance, ever since the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine proclaimed its intention to take over, as far as might be, the restoration and rehabilitation of the crippled children of America and the establishment in ~various cities throughout the land of the Shriner's hospitals for this purpose, every member of Almas Temple of the Mystic Shrine of Washington, in ad dition to private donations, has co tributed and will continue fo contri ute annually the sum of $2 of his yearly dues to the temple exclusively for the benefit of the children's hos- pltal fund. As the membership of Almas Temple now _approximates 8,000, it will be seen that $10,000, or thersabouts, is given freely every year by Washington Shriners. Started in Oregon. ‘The movement originated with W. Freeland Kendrick, mayor-elect of Philadelphia, who was at the time Imperial Potentate of the Imperial “ouncil of the Shrine of North Amer- a. It was at the annual session f the Imperial Council in Portland in June, 1920, when the h ian {dea was officially ery Prominent men in the order it as too colossal to be tallized. opposed practical. Henry Lansburgh, then potentate of Almas Temple of Washington, and one of its representatives in the Im- perial Council, advancing to_ t! stage, created an impression by quest for a silent prayer, standing or just one minute,” after which, in an impassioned address, he sent out a plea for favorable action, coupling with it the offer of a private dona- tion of his own of $5.000, and a fur- ther donation of $1.000 a year as long as he llved. In fulfillment of this pledge, it is known that Mr. Lans- burgh has already contributed $7,000, that in February he will add another | $1,000, and his intimate friends s that he has made an even gr proof of his interest in and devotion to the cause of the Shriners’ Chil- dren’s Hospital by a substantial be- quest in his will, amounting to $20,000, with provision that it be placed &t interest to insure his an- nual_contribution of $1.000.
