TO HELP POOR
Atlantans Will Aid Themselves by
Giving Books and Clothes to
Ambitious Children.
Only two days remain In which 250
poor boya 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 pn
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 midst 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 cf all its interests.
Children Deserve Education.
The fund which The Georgian and
Sunday 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
sent 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.

THE ATLANTA C.EORGTAN ANT) NEWS.
FOR ATLIT!
Howard Succeeds in Incorporat
ing Sum in General Deficiency
Bill—$41,250 Available.
By HUGH MILLER.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—A second
attempt by Representative Howard,
of Atlanta, to have included in the
general deficiency bill an Item of $22.-
500 to be immediately available for
completing the Atlanta postofflee was
successful. The item was incorpo- |
rated in the bill by an overwhelming
vote.
With $18,750 left over of the amount j
originally appropriated, this makes i .
total of $41,250 that will be available j
for the work as soon as the bill final
ly is passed. In referring to Atlanta,
Mr. Howard spoke of the city 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 I
disgrace to the United States,” he !
added. “If you don’t make immedi- |
ately available the sum of $22,500, you i
wdll compel the Federal officials in
Atlanta to go outside and rent addi- |
tlonal room. It’s a plain business
proposition.”
Chairman Fitzgerald, of the Ap
propriations Committee, objected.
“If the Supervising Architect gets
the money, he won’t use it,” said Mr.
Fitzgerald, “because he has said that
if Congress does not give him $180,-
000 to increase his force, he can not
undertake to do the work.”
"I can promise the work will be
done if the money is made available,”
said Mr. Howard. “I’ll guarantee It
will be done. I’ll spend two-thirds of
my time in the Supervising Archi
tect’s office until it is done.”
Minority Leader Mann, of Illinois, I
came to Mr. Howard’s support and
the amendment was adopted.
Atlanta Fast Outgrowing
Postoffice, Says Barry.
Robert E. Barry, United States
postoffice inspector of the Fifth Di
vision, with headquarters in Atlanta,
declared Friday that it was neces
sary that a new postoffice be erected
in Atlanta within two years.
‘‘In fact.” said Mr. Barry, “our
crowded condition here is well known
in Washington, and I haven’t the
slightest doubt that our need will be
recognized in a short time.
“Since the 20-pound parcel post
law went into effect, Atlanta has been

made the terminal for southbound
mail for the reason that it is impos
sible to assort the big packages on
the cars. The parcel post mail for the
entire State comes to Atlantia, 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 fop all points
South of here is checked and taken
out of one car and 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 cars each have to be
handled here daily, while the number
of parcel post packages for Atlanta,
alone number 10,000 per day.
“Thus it can be readily seen how
we are handicapped at present by
Ihck of space at the Terminal Sta
tion. It is at the Terminal Station
that the new postoffice will be built.
The present postoffice can be used as
the Federal Courthouse.
