i T7TE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS. «v ♦ M /I [ TO HELP POOS Atlantans Will Aid Themselves by Giving Books and Clothes to Ambitious Children, Only two days remain in which 250 poor boys and girls of Atlanta may wonder rather wistfully if they will be able to go to public school this year, whether the good genius of At lanta’s generosity will supply the money needed for their school books and a few clothes. They have no money themselves, and even going to public school re quires some money. Hence the ap peal for contributions. But no appeal In their behalf can be written quite so forcible as the appeal of the children themselves. They are big, human documents, each one of them, a poignant demand on your sentiment, each one of them. And wh^n It is considered that the appeal is multiplied 250 times, the matter becomes something for your heart’s consideration. A Logical, Human Appeal. And then there is a logical appeal, as well. It could be argued that if these children must run the streets, acquiring the companionships and the habits of the streets, the cost may be more to the city than a dollar or two apiece ultimately. Your contributions will mean the difference between education and il literacy, good citizenship and vicious ness. Your contributions will mean only a dollar or two from you, but worlds, significant worlds, for Willie Watson and the 250 boys and girls like him. Atlanta, it is true, has a large num ber of interests just now. There is the pennant race, and the players must be remembered. The show houses all are opened, after a long spell of theatrical inactivity. And the fall fashions are in our midsjt with their demands on the pocketbook. But Atlanta is a big, prosperous city, big enough to have a heart and to realize that a demand on the heart is the big gest of all its interests. Children Deserve Education. The fund which The Georgian and Bun day American is endeavoring to raise and turn over to the Associated Charities grew slowly Thursday and Friday. Considerably more is neces sary than has been given, and the appeal is here voiced with renewed force. Remember that 250 children must go to school. They deserve it, and the city that is their home deserves It. Everybody, you must confess, de serves this chance for an education. Remember that from $1 to $10 is necessary to provide each with the outfit necessary—books, and, in the case of 129, clothes that are present able. Gifts of cast-off clothing will be received by the Associated Charities, which asks that such contributions be cent to its offices in the Gould build ing, on Decatur street, between Peachtree and Pryor. Money contri butions may be sent to that office, or to The Atlanta Georgian and Sunday American. Remember, too, that your giving should be done to-day. School opens Monday.

Howard Succeeds in Incorpocat ing Sum in General Deficiency Bill—$41,2501’Available. By HUGH M.ILLER. WASHINGTON. SepL 5.—A second attempt by Representative HJowarJ. of Atlanta, to have included in ^he general deficiency bill arn Item of $22.- 500 to be immediately available for completing the Atlanta postofilce was successful.

With $18,750 left overtof the amount originally appropriated, this makes a total of $41,250 that will be available for the work as soon as the bill final ly is passed. In referring to Atlanta, Mr. Howard spokje of the cfcty as *the second largest in the United States outside of New York and Chicago, and the most prosperous city In*'he world, without exception.” “The congestion in that office is a disgrace to the United States,” ne added. “If you don’t malke immedi- ately^available th«e sum of $22,S00, you will compel the Federal officials in Atlanta to go outside and rent addi tional room.

Atlanta Fast Outgrowing Postoffice, Says Barry. Robert E. 3 Barry, United States postoffice inspector of the Fifth Di- | vision, with h eadquarters in Atlanta. | declared Frid.ay that it was neces- j sary that a n«*w postoffice be erected | in Atlanta wi thin two * years. “In fact.” i>aid Mr. Barry, “our crowded condition here is w’ell known in Washfcngtom, and I haven’t the slightest doutxt that our need will be recognized in a short time. “Since the 20-pound parcel post law went into e ffect, Atlanta has been made the term.Inal for southbound mail for tine reason that it is impos sible to assort the big packages on the cars. The {parcel post mail for the entire State comes to Atlanta, and here it is worked into large consign ments for the various cities. “Not only is the Georgia mail as sorted here, but the mail for all points South of here is checked and taken out of one car nnd placed into others going by a more direct route. “One can scarcely realize the pro portions the parcel post business has assumed. More than 60 mail trains of seven to ten oars each hav»e to be handled here daily, while the number of parcel posit packages for Atlanta alone number 10.000 per day. “Thus it catn be readily seen how we are handicapped at present by lack of space at the Terminal Sta tion. It is at the Terminal Station that the new postoffice will be built. The present postoflice can be used as the Federal Counthouse. Kieley, Oiwe Stoker, Left Widow a Million NEW YORK.
