SLEDS TIED ONTO AUTOS DANGEROUS j Writer Makes Some Obser- I vations as to Possible Injuries j**„ Since the snow hmi been on Hie ground, tlie writer has nbtlped a very dangerous method of giving sleigh rides to children by tying the sled to the rear end of an automobile. Some of these sleds have tow tines twenty or thirty feet long with several small sleds hooked to it at intervals. The drivers of the automobiles have been seen to turn corners, and drive across the thoroughfares at a rate of speed that would make it impossible for them to stop should another auto mobile be seen. If it were possible for the driver to stop, a sudden stop would probably throw the sled and its rider into the rear end of the car and possibly result in serious injury. The driver of an automobile cannot see a sled that is tied to an automobile, and Is 20 feet behind it. Even if the automobiles did not collide, the lifo of the child riding on the -sled would be endangered. It is very doubtful if the parents of children who have been giving them sleigh rides in such a manner have really stopped to consider the dan ger involved. It is not only dangerous •but a violation of the traffic laws, and it would be a gbod policy for drivers of automobiles to see to it that no sleds are tied to their cars before a toil is taken in human life. —Contributed.

Some stores kept open lasi night and had a fair volume of trade. There was some evidence of renewed im petus in buying and a trifle better business has been experienced this week. Only four more shopping days lemain before Christmas, and ail the Christmas buying that is to be done in advance of that holiday must be done this week. There is an abundance of holiday and staple merchandise in Hender son business establishments. and shoppers will find they can meet their requirements at home without going away for that purpose. “Hat Check Girl” To Open Here Tomorrow The night life of Broadway, the loves and sorrows of the girls who work on the Great.

TITT?.«nAV mr.rF.MRfTD On Provision Is Made For Four More Needy Cases An Additional Three N |m r Ones Added, Leaving S Yet To Be Taken; Final List of Ten, Making 25 In * All, To Be Presented Public Tomorrow " Four more of the Christian Oppor tunities in needy cases were provided for by individuals and organizations today, leaving three published up to Monday that had not been provided for. but three additional ones were added today, matting six in ail that have not at this time been cared for. Ten more in a final list will be pub lished tomorrow, which will bring the total for the entire undertaking to 25, and that will be all, unless there is a greater demand. For the moment, the concentration is upon those being provided now. and the number is not greater than in previous years, though the need is admittedly much greater. The public is urged to respond to this call this year, and to do everything possible to provide Christmas cheer and Christ mas necessities for those who ate in destitute circumstances. There is a feeling that it will be little short of tragic for little children to wake up next Sunday morning and find that Santa Claus has forgotten them. It is believed that Henderson people will not tolerate such a condition. Nearly every one is in more or less difficult circumstances this year, but those who still have an abundance are asked and urged to divide their plenty with those who have little or nothing. j The cases are furnished by Captain Guy Heplcr, in charge of the Salva tion Army corps here, who has per sonally investigated every needy case before it is offered, and he vouches for the gneuineness of the need. Those desiring to provide for a needy family may find him at his. residence on North Garnett street each day before 9 a. m. and in the evening after 7 o'clock. Between 9 a. m. and 7 p. m. he is out over the city engaged in re lief work and not at his home. It was earnestly hoped otday that all of the cases appearing today may be provid ed for by tomorrow morning, and those who contemplate acting in the situation are urged to do so at once without further delay. The cases taken since yesterday, with the names of the donors, and the new cases added are as follows: NUMBER ONE. The mother of this family has been sick for sometime, the father works when possible, but makes very little, in this family one will find five bright children, ages girl 15. boys 6 and 11, girl 4. and baby 2 the greater needs are food and clothing.
