10 WL BE RENEWED Local Association Again to| Seek Aid of Congress for (ildren. The Washington Tuberculosis As- sociation will resume with greater in- tensity its fight to induce Congress to authorize the establishment here of an allyearround sanitarium for tubercular cnildren. The absence of an adequate institution in the Dis- trict of Columbia to handle the situa- tion already has been called to the attention of the House District com- .mittee, but efforts will be made to hring out more plainly the need for . immediate favorable action, it was an- " nounced yesterday. “In this respect Washington i behind other cities of its clas: A statement by the association children now attending the Jiealth schools designed to give an education to pupils excluded from the - vegular school grades by tuberculosfs % should in the judgment of the direc- tors of the Tuberculosis Association, \fibe receiving 24-hour care.

Most of the children ¢ared 7 for then are the same ones who have I%been segregated in the special health 4 7tchools during school hours, but who have to go to their homes at night. “During the past Summer, in an Inverage attendance of 51 children, there were 11 complete recoveries, 'l;_-‘nw result of strict medical test under Sthe direction of Dr. J.

Of Christmas Greetings to Aid Delivery o Sz o vear Christmas letters and greeting cards for delivery in Washington should be handed in at the post office win- dows between now and December 18 in order to insure timely delivery, ac- cording to a statement issued yeste day by Postmaster W. M. Mooney. Provision has been made for receiving this malil at the main office and at all the classified stations. A special win- dow has been designated to care for the advance mailing, and the cards will be held at the post office and de- livered on December 21, 22 and 23. Mr. Mooney &aid that approximately 4.500.000 Christmas cards were han- dled in the Washington post office last year, and that he expected the num- ber to exceed 5,000,000 this Christmas. According to Mr. Mooney, the ava- lanche of mail usually starts about December 19, just at the time when the Christmas package mail is at its peak. It is necessary to draw clerks from distributing package mafl and assign them to the distribution of cards, he sald. The postmaster stated that because Washington was the Capital of the country there were people here from all over the world receiving and send- ing greetings, and that the number of greeting cards received in this city is, no doubt, greater in proportion to population than in any other city. Tuberculosis Association hopes to be % able to continue this important serv- é\’ ice until Congress can be induced to o, gmvlde for the children’s sanitarium, ;%hut in order to do this the coming #]year the association must have the “present generous co-operation of the Washington public in the liberal buy- . Ing of its Christmas health seals, now on sale.” A L e———— ":_ IOWANS FETE SENATORS. Senators David W. Stewart and Daniel F. Steck of Iowa were the g:n.s of honor at a meeting and ce held by the Towa State Society at Rauscher’s Friday night. Both gave short addresses. Leslie Shaw, former Secretary of the Treasury, and Mayor H. Gilman, Sioux City, Iowa, also sentative Lloyd Thurston, P lent of the society, pre- sided and introduced the speakers. There, were about 250 members and guests present. Mrs. Lottie L. Volk- mer and Miss Janet Coon rendered songs and whistling selections, re- spectively. THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Monday, December 13. Although Venus is in benefic aspect tomorrow, according ‘to astrology, the day is not altogether favorable. Mercury, Saturn and Uranus are all adverse, This is a time more advantageous for amusements and the less im- portant things of life. ‘Weddings are fairly lucky tomor- row, but there is likely to be more romance than money under this di- rection of the stars. This is an auspicious rule for the opening of new plays, even though critics appear to be subject to malefic influences. . ‘Women should push all their in- terests while this configuration pre- wvails, but they are likely to be more concerned with flirtations than with finance. The seers warn that there will be many new scandals, many of which are due to women’s mania for con- quests and for being entertained. Under this planetary government women will manifest the extremes of character, for they will attain to in- tellectual heights and to the depths of foolishness. All women may be interested in the prophecy that they are to gain great power in public affairs, for they will rise against the forces of evil, if the signs are read aright. Tt is not a fortunate day for letter- writing and if the letters relate to Jove they are likely to be most unlucky. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of stable rosperity. They may not be lucky, jowever, in courtship or marriage. Children born on that day may be rather too fond of all the material Joys of life, but they are usually fuccessful and able to curtail their desire for pleasure. Copyright. 1926.)
