The am - bassador is of & genial nature, a past master at anecdotes and Wwith a keen sense Sir Auckland Geddes, of humor, which © says Is not rare in Scotchmen, a led the world to ’bell.v’e. MOne biosers e result of the world wai .ovl?hl‘c’;le'ls:ld( according to Sir ntry now takes d that frequently ther are international episodsn which sre 1 t sent abroad through the regular diplomatic channel i _One occurred before a police magis- trate of London when & respectaple looking woman was accused of belng nolsy, disorderly and not strictly The _police Judge had on the two previous occa- {8lons accepted the plea that she had been with friends and that the good cheer of the hollday season had been too much for her and the same string of excuses so famillar all over the world in police courts. But the third offense made the magistrate thought- ! ful ‘und after hearing her accusers and looking into her record he gave " | er a stern lecture and said that for her own sake and to keep her away { from_her companions he hed decided send her for four months—and naused for a full minute, possibly -weighing in his mind the advantages of different disciplinary institutions within his_jurisdiction, then finally sald, to the house of cor- rection. The woman sighed from the depths ‘of her soul and made a little dip, “1 thank your honor. I was afraid you were going to send me to America." Sir Auckland Geddes was perhaps the most approachable and responsive of the exalted circle of diplomatists and the heuling art which he had followed in his early life seemed to prompt the treatment in national and international wounds. He intends to ireturn to political life and to run for his old borough of Essex in the com- imons, but he always reserves some leisure and a little part for the Lon- don slums, where he looks after a certain number of the stricken poor. DRIVE FOR HOSPITALS WILL BEGIN IN MARCH All Contributions to Emergency “and Casnalty Will Go Toward Needs of Institutions. All contributions given in the ap- proaching campaign for $500,000 for the benefit of the Emergency and Casualty hospitals will be devoted exclusively toward the needs of these institutions, it was announced vesterday by Col. Edward Clifford, general chairman of the campaign, who explained that all expenses in- curred In conducting the campaign would be paid from other sources. Preparations for Waork. Preparations have been going for- ward for the past few weeks in order that everything may be in readiness to begin the drive in March. Five or six hundred people will be en- gaged in the work of getting the half million dollars during the drive, and the campaign headquarters will be established in the old Federal 1 Bank bullding at 14th and s, iverybody knows that it costs money fo run a campaign,” Col. Clif- ford said, ing, clerical work, etc, but no one likes to feel that part of what he contributes to a worthy cause will be used up in expenses of that kind.

One of the last acts of the late Wood- | row, Wilson was to send his annual check of $50 to the Nucoochee Insti- tute, in the historic valley of the same | name, in the hill country of Nerth Carolina. | Mr. Wilson was deeply interested i | this school, it 16 stated, and his annual ' donations ure cited as but another ex-| ample of his Jreat interest in helping the young. Hundreds Are Alded. Hundreds of boys and girls, who otherwise would have been overlooked in this out-of-the-way nook of the hills, have been lifted out of the ignorance | of their forebears and given the ines- timable advantage of education and training. Sergt. York of Tennessec who startled the country by his mar- velous war record, displayed the cour- age, honor and native ability of these people of the Appalachian hills. “The boys and girls of Nacoochee are of the same race and promise. They deserve better of our time and country than the scant need of opportuni has so far been accorded them,” di clared a local woman acquainted with the work belng done there. “The work already accomplished at Nacoochee has been made possible’ by the gifts of some far-secing peo- ple from both the north the touth, and by the self-sacrificing de- votion of men and women of cuiture, who have been willing to bury them- selves in this sccluded pluce. The s#chool has grown slowly during the years. It now maintains an orphan- age for the unfortunate waifs of that sectlon, and it has an excellent school system through all the ‘grades’ and Trained Industrially. “Industrial training i{s an inherent part, and each student, even the tiny rtle ones, has some share in necessary work of school. kVui YULNE 10 ‘student labor, fold purpore of keeping down e penses, thus enabling ‘Nacooches In- stitute’ to give an opportunity to un Increaging number of boys and girls, and also permits the ‘students to maintain their independence by feel- ing that they are ‘working their way through achool.’ “Thie valuable feature of the school could be further developed if funds were avallable for the employment of dnstructors and the purchase of necessary equipment, What these mountain people need today is not charity, but a ‘chance’ to prepare them to mcet present-day life and competition.” COOLIDGE NOMINATES MANY POSTMASTERS Eighteen States Are Included in List Sent to-Senate for Confirmation.
