A little more than $2,000 is etill needed to wipe the defleits in the | Christmas Opportunity Fund of the Associated Charities off the slate. There is enough in the undesignated fund to close one of the remaining nine opportunities still open, but the amount is being held at the request of tke donors to go to the opportunity with the largest deficit or the one last to be closed at the end of the campaign. Less than $400 is needed to complete the budget in any one of the remain- ing nine opportunities. The smallest deflcit is in number 2, where $177 is lacking, and the largest in number 11, where $399 is still needed. Contributions continue to come in both at The Star office and at the head- quarters of the Associated Charities, 1022 Eleventh street, so that there is still a chance that by New Year day the entire list of 14 families, whose budgets total $15,652, will be taken care of.

It was suggested to The Star today that the fund being collected for the benefit of the family of Lewis Leap- ley, 708 G street southeast, who was killed in the wreck of his truck in Southwest Washingtog last Thursday, be devoted toward the payment of trusts on their little homs so that the mother and seven children will at least have a roof of their own. Con- tributions to date total $447.50. This suggestion will be taken undéy advisement and the advice of those cesponsible for the administration of the fund, every penny of which’ will go toward the benefit of the bereaved family, will be sought. It is planned to so expend the money as to make some provision for the future of the widow and her young children. May Rent Rooms. Mrs. Leapley said this morning that it had been one of her husband's dear- est wishes to provide a home for his family and that, if possible, she would like to feel that she had a home of her own, leaving her free to devote what income she may cbtain to food and clothing rather than for rent. She indicated that it might prove possi- ble for her «to gain some revenue by renting several of the rooms in the house, since her family occupies the basement floor. Surrounded by her children, rang- ing from 18-year-old Edna to the baby, 2-year-old Alberta, she sat in the parior of her little home and expressed her appreciation of the -good will which has been manifested toward her in her hour of trial.
