THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. _APRIL 3, 1925. Lafayette Visit Celebrated. SELMA, Ala, April 3.—Gen. Lafay- ette’s visit to Alabama 100 years ago was celebrated yesterday in programs at Old Cahaba, first capital of the State, and at old Fort Balnbridge.

Up to noon today 3,457 “votes™ had | [] heen cast, each backed by substantial contributions, in support of the work of the Associated Charities and Citi- zens’ Rellef Association, the two general family welfare agencies of the District of Columbia. A letter received by the campalgn committee this morning shows the spirit, with which the “referendum” belng con- ducted by the finance committee of these organizations is being received, The writer acknowledges the letter of appeal sent him, saying: “I regret exceedingly that 1 am unable, as of the present to make a contribution to the noble wofk in which you are engaged. I trust at some future time 1 will be in a better position to sup- port the admirable work of your or- ganization.” 99 Responses by Mail. During the last 24 hours 99 re- sponses have been received by mail to the Baster appeal of these social service organisations. Forty-nine members of civic and trade bodies have taken membership in the last 48 hours. The committee hopes that this is only a beginning of the favor- :ble responses that are vet to come from the business and professional men of Washington. Availing them- selves of the privilege given to pledge gifts to be paid at such a time as is onvenient to the donors, two pledges of $50 each were received this morn- ing. Arthur Hellen, the chairman of the Associated Charities special campaign committee, in an interview today, tells of the urgency of the appeal. In asking again this year for 10,000 contributing members of the Associ- ated Charlties and the Citizens' Re- lief Association, It is our desire to broaden the base of the financial sup- port for the city-wide, non-sectarian and constructive family welfare work of these organizations,” said Arthur Hellen. Systematic Service Rendered. “The various kinds of service ren- dered systematfcally and effectively in all parts of the city by the train- ed and volunteer workers of this as- soclation have been part of the life and growth and pride of our city for the past 44 years since the Associated Charities was founded. And while we do not fail to give due recognition and praise to the good work done by other and younger agencies of special sroups of citizens, we do feel that the great bulk of our citizens agree with us that it is desirable to have contin- used this city-wide and non-sectarian association engaged in helping fami- lies in need to hold together and giv- ing that special care to the children which will enable them to become| good citizens. “We are making a special effort Special Easter Remembrance Lady " Fairfax Pearls $5.85 $6.85 lIc——jolc——— o] c———[a[— c—= 80— ] 24- Inch 30- this year to enlist the unanimous co- inch. operation of the civic clubs and trade bodies, and we trust they will under- stand the character of the work being done by our regular and volunteer helpers—just the sort of careful and continuing service that each con- tributor would willingly render if he Students Begin Prison Term.
