Tha society naada money with which to continue lta work of find ing homes for tha halplaaa children of tha atat. Not that tt la In bad ftnanolal condition; at a matter of fact, tha management at tha recent meeting of the hoard of director! re ported that never in tha hiatorr of the organlaatlon has tt been In aa good shape. It has no debta and Ita credit haa never been better. ' The need for money, la entirely for extending ' the work of the society. It la entirely for helping more chll jdren, for taking babies and yoang- xtri from ruined and shattered homes and from no homea at all, for caring for those children, for finding 'new homes anywhere In the start where children are desired, and for starring the children on a new life. . That la the' Christmas appeal thlri I year. They are going to nave a Christmas treat the Fairmont street home. They are going to maka the day as happy ' aa possible for the children there. They are glad to get the Christmas 'toys and Christmas , supplies that people all over the I state have always given. For these I things tha enrlety la mora grateful I than ita management can say. But at thla Christmas season the society .wants to go further and to reach mora helpless children. It has had by far tha moat successful year In Ita history, which meana that more homes have been fonnd for homeless children than ever before, but It does not want to atop there. - "We can never atop until we have solved the homeless child problem In North Carolina," said Superintendent J. J. Phoenix at the laat meeting of. the directors,'-. . By tha end of tha year Mr, Phoenix estimates that J5 children will have been placed -in new homea by the society. The number la nearly up to that mark new. It I far in excess of any other year. Furthermore, the society this year haa exercised a more careful scrutiny over the homes In which children have been placed. Thla haa been, possibly tha blggeat advance made by the society during tha year, the witch and cars it main- When the Other Kinds Are Freezing Up Think of the satisfaction in owning and operat ing a Waterless Automobile and no less is the satisfaction in summer where there is no water to leak or overheat FRANKLIN OWNERS can make authdritive compari sons because 95 per cent of them have previously owned 'other make cars. We recently asked a large number of them to name the . FRANKLIN . advantages. Here are the results, , in . order--- : 1. Riding Comfort. . - 2. Tire Mileage. ' 3. Gasoline Economy. 4. Direct Air-Cooling (Nothing to Freeze). 5. Easy Handling. 6. Low Upkeep Cost. 7. Safety of Operation. . The FRANKLIN does what it was designed to do when its' principles of light weight, flexible construction, and direct air-cooled motor were adopted 20 years ago." - . Any motorist can easilymake' further comparisons with these FRANKLIN owners' figures: 20 Miles to the Gallon of Gasoline. 12, 500 miles to the set of tires. 50 Per Cent Slower Yearly Depreciation. (National Averages.) WE DEMONSTRATE the advantages that OTHERS ADVERTISE, and what we can show you in motor per formance will be a revelation, with economy you never! thought possible. The truth of the above is why FRANKLIN cars are selling and will continue to sell, and why they stay sold.

Greemboro Distributors Raleigh Winston-Salem tains' over Its children after they have been put In homes. Tha process Is marked by great care. Flrat of all, the homea are rigidly Inspected before children are sent there. Something like 0r homea were offered to the aoclety this year. In other words, theae 900 mothara and too fathers came to the aoclety and said, "We want one of the chil dren you hare." In every Instance the society through Its various sources of Inquiry sought alt possible Information about the homes. Many were rejected because the aoclety did not think they were of the character In which children ought to be placed. Nearly thre. fourths of all homes ottered were not accepted, a fact that In Itself shows something of the care used In all the work. - - ' After the children have Been placed In the homea found suitable, tha so ciety still watches over them. Repre sentatives of the society viatt tha new homea. . Occaalonatly, very sel dom, but once In a long while, the society finds that tt haa made a mis take In sending a child to a certain home. In that event, It take, the child back and eventually flnds an other home for tt. Thla work of anpervlslon Is to be stressed mora and mora because the officers and friends of the aoclety be lieve they have a definite duty to ward the children as long as they live. They want to watch over them' and aa that good eara la taken ot them, . Another plan for the coming year Is the construction of a cottage f?r babies here In Greensboro, on the same property where the receiving home is -located. . At present babies are occasionally received and many nave been taken care of from time to time. But the home Is not definitely eojitpped for bablea. The -need is great, is none knows batter than those 'who have been In this work. It Is planned to build a cottage espe cially tor bablea It Is also planned to do mora for the children while they are In the home, This la .often a short time, a few weeka or months rarely so long ss a year. The average time. Is about SO days. But the society wants to do more educational work during fne coming year so -that the children will be as well equipped aa possible for ethelr new life. Of the value of tha work of the society there are commendations from many persons. Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson, state eommlaieoner of wel fare, baa written a tetter to Superin tendent Phoenix, praising tha aoclety. Governor Cameron Morrison,, A. M. Scales, the. president,- General Julian S. Carr. and many others who have served tt In one way and another .have been greatly Impressed. Its work is open at all times to any Investi gation. . - During the past few years tha cost of finding a new home haa been 169 for each child; For lie a child Is taken, cared for, placed In - a new home a-d carefully watched until It la certain that Its future Is bright Each person who gives Its a yeal can know that a child will be placed In a new home by that gift. A monthly gift of $( will do. It. The society Is Undenominational. It receives no financial aid from the atata or from any denomination or fraternity. It depends entirely on voluntary gifts. In It yeara It has found homea for 1,150 children. Last year they came from IT. eountiea. It handles, and gladly, the greateat out cast of all, the Illegitimate child: At this Christmas aeason, the so ciety presents Its work to ths state and Invites,- asks, appeals for assist ance. Mr. Phoenix, alias Holt, Miss Bllyeo and others who spend their life for homeless children can tell stories that wouldibrlng tears to any yea. . aney Knew or almoat unbe lievable condlrtojis. It Is just these conditions that tthejr are trying to correct. They ' are trying to find homes for children, and If Christ mas means anything at alt It meana a home and children. . 310 so.
