The Central Union Mission will hold its Christmas party tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock at the Fox Theater, when Mrs. Hoover will assist in dis- tributing bags of toys and Christmas good things to hundreds of boys and ghls whose Christmas otherwise would be cheerless. Supt. John S. Ben- nett will be the official Santa Claus and Mrs. Bennett has seen to it that no child on the long list of names will be_forgotten. There will be a lofty Christmas tree, and it is expectzd that approximately 2,000 children will be made happy on this occasion. Mrs. Coolidge always took part in these annual affairs of the Central Union Mission, and Mrs. Hoover agreed to continue the custom established by the former First Lad: She will taks part the following aff ernoon at the Christmas party of the Salvation Army and pass out the first of 500 baskets of food to be distrib- uted at 2 o'clock at Temple Corps, 606 E street. Maj. James Asher, in charge of the Army for this section, has ar- a program. ‘The Navy Band Orchestra will fur- nish music during the festivities, and officials of the Salvation Army will be present in honor of Mrs. Hoover, as they were last year for Mrs. Coolidge. In ‘addition to the dinners for poor families, the agency will have a Christ- mas tree entertainment Tuesday night, and toys will be distributed to about 1,000 children. Through its connection with the Community Chest, the facili- ties of the Army are greater this year than ever before. Dinners to Be Given. Scores of “down and outers” will be glven free Christmas dinners at the Central Union Mission headquarters, 613 C street, on Christmas day and there will be a special treat also for the little inmates of the Children’s Emergency Home, of which Mrs. Ben- nett is in charge. Volunteer workers have been supplying the “kiddie bags” for tomorrow’s party, and in addition to the dinners to be supplied at the mis- sion, many baskets ladened with food will be sent to poor homes throughout the city. George D. Horning will this Christmas present shoes and stockings to 125 poor children of the city, to be relected by the Central Union Mission. Each child, the recipient of a ticket supplied by the mission, will receive one E:u- of shoes and two pairs of stockings upon presenting the ticket at Baks & Co.'s store. This custom has been followed by Mr. Horning for many | years and has always been of great ben- | CAPITAL PREPARES TO OBSERVE CHRISTMAS “14 OPPORTUNITIES” efit to lots of poor families.

Baskets will be distributed by the APPEAL ABANDONED Associated Charities Act on Advice of Chest Budget Committee. There will be no appeal for the “1% | Christmas Opportunities” of the Asso- | clated Charities and_Citizens' Relief | Asscriation this year, Walter S. Ufford, | general secretary, announced yesterday. | “Acting under the official ‘advice of | the budget committee of the Community | Chest,” said Mr. Ufford, “{he Associated Charities has abandoned the Christmas opportunity appeal for a group of 14 specially selected families n<eding relief. | The board of managers of the society | accept without question the opinion of | the budget committes that the appeal | at this time would scem to interfere with the principle of immunity of Community Chest contributors from further solicitation from its member | agencies. The society hopes, however, that any persons who have been inter- | ested in particular families, but who | are not contributors to the Community | Chest, will still remember without solici- tation the family needs of the society’s clients.” | When the Civitan Club learned that | this Christmas opportunity appeal was not to be renewed, it expressed its dis- | appointment, as its membars had plan- | ned this year i take under its care one of the 14 needy families. The club then invited Miss Louise O. Brall, as- | sistant secretary of the Associate Charities and in charge of its famly work, to tell them at their last lunch=on meeting about the needs of particular families. After Miss Beall’s talk the Civitan Club voted an appropriation of $500, and this amount has since been received by the soclety, with instruc- tions to have it distributed among five | tamilies who would otherwise have been | included in the Christmas appeal, or $100 for each family. Contributions Received. Meanwhile District visitors of the As- soclated Charities rcceived a variety of unsolicited contributions yesterday. to be used to brighten the homes of | needy families. Miss Helen P. Story, supervisor of the society's family work in the Eastern district, was advised by the Worac Club, composed of wives of the men at the Red Cross headquarters, that shey would lend their cars to distribute the things thus provided. This motor service will be available all day Monday and Tues- day. Among_the groups contributing for ties families in addition to those of their own circle; classe: the Edmonds School providing toys for 30 children. Miss Louise W. Harlow, visitor for the Georgetown district, reported a number of Christmas givers in her section. among which were the following: $25 by the Parkway Motor Co. to be used for fruit distributed to 68 families, which is to be distributed by a commit- tee of which Mrs. Frederick McPeynolds is the chairman; canned goods from the Washington Alumni Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority; 68 Christ- mas stockings given by the Friends' Sunday school; 11 overcoats from Saks & Co., $6 from the “En Avant” Club of the Western High School, toys by the Girls' Reserve, 20 dolls by the Girl Scouts, Troop No. 26, Western High; a Christmas tree and trimmings from the Northminster Presbyterian Chapel and also one from the Fillmore School, a community tree from Mrs. Fred Dubols, chairman of the Georgetown district conference of the Associated Charities and numerous individual gifts of shoes and articles of necessity.

SIMPLE CHRISTMAS Mr. and Mrs. Hoover to Miss Older Son, Who Must Stay in California. President and Mrs. Hoover's first Christmas in th> White House will be & qulet, simple affair, typical of the obstrvance in many thousands of American_homes. Throughout their married life, espe- clally when their boys were young- sters, Mr. and Mrs. Hoover have al- ways made much ov:r Christmas, and there is every reason to feel that they are not going to change their ways just because the former is now President and they happen to b living in the Executive Mansion. This famous old mansion, which has been the scene of Christmas celebra- tions by presidential families for more than a century, again will witness an observance which, while dignifi:d and plain, will be a really merry one. Nevertheless the happiness of Mr. and Mrs. Hoover, as in many other homes where absent ones will rob ths day of some of jts joyousness, is going to be tinged with disappointment. Herbert Hoover, jr., the older of the two Hoover boys, and Peggy, his young wife, and their two childr:n, Herbert, 3d, aged 4, and Peggy, aged 3, will be PRESIDENT T0 HAVE| spending Christmas at their home thoucands cf miles away in Pasadena, Calif. Despite this keen disappointment over the absence of thir son Herbert and his family, the presence of Allan, the younger of the two boys. will dispel |the gioom on Christmas day. Allan, | who is studying business administra- tion at Harvard, .will.he with his parents during the holiday period. Send Presents to Coast. Altkough Mr. and Mrs. Hoover are not going to enjoy the sound of pat- tering grandchildren's feet up and down the corridors of the White House, they have had the fun of packing presents and toys to send off to Her- bert's family. A great share of this fun has been Mrs. Hoover's. The Christmas season has found the President unusually busy and he has been remaining at his desk until well after dark each afternoon. Mrs. Hoover has bought all sorts of dolls and other playthings for the two grandchildren, and when the big box from the White House arrives at Herbert's little home in far-oq Pasadena there will be much excitement. The Hoovers will have plenty of company during the holiday season. Among these will be the old friends who used to frequent the Hoover home on S street and who drop in uncere- moniously at the White House. They will be anything but lonely. Mrs. Jeanne Large of Monterey, Calif., Mrs. Hoover's sister, and her two children, Janet, aged 16, and Delano, aged 14, who have been frequent vis- itors at the White House since last March, will be house guests over Christ- mas. It is expected that two or three other intimate friends may also be house guests on this occasion. Christmas dinner, for a small circle of the President’s friends, will be an elaborate, though informal one. Nor ere the young people going to be for- gotten. To compensate somewhat for the absence of their own grandchildren, the President and Mrs. Hoover will have the children of some of their friends visit them Christmas afternoon. Among these will be the familles of | Secretary of Labor Davis and George Akerson and Walter Newton, of the | President secretariat. Then, of course, a young folks' party will follow. It has not been decided yet whether or not there will be a carol festival be- nezth the front portico of the White House on Christmas eve. This custom | was adopted by . the Coolidges several | years ago, and drew many hundreds of | persons to the White House grounds to | join in the singing. Trees to Be Trimmed, Mrs. Hoover will personally superin-| tend the task of placing the greens and | other decorations suggestive of the holi- | day, and will help trim the several trees | that will be erected in the house. The principal tree will be placed at the south end of the east room. At its base will be figures and objects depict- ing the scene at the birth of the Christ | child. There will be another tree in the | room on the second floor used as & liv- | ing room, and also a small, trimmed | tree in each bedroom and another on the front portico, making 16 in all. | The President and his wife will send | no gifts except to members of their family and very intimate friends, Mr. | Hoover has so few hobbies, and because | of this and his aversion for jewelry, it is always a difficult matter for Mrs. Hoover to select a Christmas gift for him. As usual, therefore, she will make | books serve as the principal part of her | gifts to her husband. Among these are some new travel and mystery storles. | She knows the President’s liking lorl such reading. Th2 President and Mrs. Hoover will | not inspect their Christmas packages until after breakfast, and will attend | religious services later in the morning. | In the meantime, postmen and mes- | senger boys are making frequent trips to the White House, conveying gifts and greeting cards sent by friends and | admirers all over the country. | !

Arrangements were completed yester- day for the ceremonies on Christmas eve when President Hoover will touch the button that will light the 1929 Na- tional Community Christmes tree in the presence of thousands of citizens assembled in the vicinity of Sherman Square on the Ellipse. Federal and District Officials of the Governments will join in singing Christmas carols around the living tree | and President Hoover will be intro- duced by Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur, national chairman for the ceremonies. A concert by the United States Ma- rine Band at 5:30 o'clock will open the festivities and the President, accom- panied by Mrs. Hoover and White House s Always Sold From Dainty Ribben aides, will arrive at 5:55 o'clock. Mem- bers of the national committee, headed by Secretary Wilbyr, and the execu- tive committee, headed by Miss Sibyl Baker, director of the Community Cen- ter Department, which has charge of the festivities, will receive the President and Mrs. Hoover., Mr. Wilbur will make a brief address before the President wusches the button that lights the tree at 6:08 o'clock. Buglers to Sound Call. As the great spruce is lighted, a signal flare will illuminate the sky and throughout the city buglers of the va- rious Boy Scout troops will sound the call to announce to the people that the Christmas tree is lighted. Carols will be sung by a choir of ap- proximately 500 boys and girls of the Junior high schools of the city, led by Dr. Edwin N. C. Barnes, music director in the public schoois. A vast audience will join in the singing. Then the Christmas greetings of the City of ‘Washington will be presented to Mrs. Hoover by a Girl and a Boy Scout. The “‘Star Spangled Banner,” played by the | Marine Band, will conclude the cere- monies at the tree. Later in the evening, under the aus- pices of the committee on carol singing, groups of singers will go to hospitals and other institutions in the city to serenade the patients with carols. Mrs, Gertrude Lyons, vice president of the District Federation of Music Clubs, has charge of this program. Busses donated by the local trac- 5 tion companies will transport many groups from the tree ceremonies to the various institutions. It is exe pected that not Jess than 25 institu- tions will be visited in this way. Girl Scouts to Trim Tree. ‘The national community Christmas tree will be trimmed by the Girl Scouts of the city tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Arrangements for the lighting are in the hands of the Electric League, with L. T. Souder as chairman of the committee in charge. Capt. Ray C. Montgomery, representing Lieut. Col, U. 8. Grant, 3d, director of the office of public buildings and public parks, has completed arrangements for tak- ing care of the large crowd at Sher- man uare, while Mrs, Joseph M. Stoddard, chairman of the carol sing- ing committee, has likewise completed arrangements for the music on the ‘occasion. Tt was in 1923 that the Presidenv of the United States first lighted the community Christmas tree in Wash- ington. a Vermont fir, sent to Presi- dent Coolidge. The following year, as part of the movement for the establishing of a live ing community mas tree, the American Forestry ciation in co- operation with the Community Center Depai tment, the Electric League and the Society for Electrical Development presented a living tree to the President for the people. The tree is a 35-foot spruce and was planted in Sherman Square. Made Fresh Today and Every Remember Your Friends With - ® The entire Fa; Heme-made Candies’ - Tride Mark Registered U, 8.
