GREAT CHRISTMAS
. FOR GOTHAM POOR
Will Be Happy Christmas for the
Poor and Unfortunate of the Metro
polis.
New York, Dec. 15.—This is going
to bd a happy Christmas for the poor
and unfortunate of the metropolis.
Hospitals, orphanages, alms houses
and even penal institutions will share
in the holiday spirit. All over the
city there will be dinners and trees
for the poor. There will be toys
for every child and none will be over
looked by Santa Clnus.
So greatly lias the custom of Christ
man charity grown that here in New
York, where it has reached its ful
lest development, it is no longer pos
sible to catalogue all of the "benevolent
societies and other organizations that
endeavor to provide Yuletide cheer for
the lovely, bereaved or destitute.
Already many of the holiday ef
forts to carry cheer to those in pov
erty are well underway. The Chnr
itv Organization Society is preparing
to make Christmas gifts to at lea.-t
1,200 families. The association for
the Improvement of the Condition of
the Poor will make n “red stock
ing" distribution of Christmas gifts
to at least 6.000 of the needy. Christ
mas funds raised by various newspa
pers are expected to aggregate more
than half a million dollars this year.
'With this money will be purchased
clothing, food and other necessities for
the needy, as well as toys and sweets
for the kiddies. Through the efforts
of one newspaper one thousand "shut
ins” will receive radio sets as Christ
mas gifts.
Today the first of the Salvatio®
Army men and women appeared on
the streets with their kettles to' seek
Christmas contributions. Within the
next ten days the organization expects
to obtain sufficient money to provide
5.000 families—2s,ooo men. women
and children—with Christmas baskets
coutainiml food for two hearty meals,
as well as toys. A similar campaign
is being conducted by the Volunteers
of America. 1
On Christmas Day there will be
the annual parties for poor children
conducted by the New York Stock,
Produce and Curb exchanges, as well
as those by the Elks and Rotarians.
The Masons have raised large sums
which have been turned over to char
itable organizations. The Association
for Crippled Children will provide
candy and toys for 3,000 children in
schools and hospitals. The Institute
for Crippled and Disabled Men will
give its unfortunates such useful gifts
as wheel chairs, wooden legs and type
writers:
At the Prison Association building
a Christmas Eve party will be given
for the mothers, wives and children
of incarcerated criminals. Another
Christmas Eve party will be given
at the Katy Ferguson home, a settle
ment house maintained for a Shotting
group of negro girls and their un
named offspring. At the Seamen’s
Church Institute there will be a party
for sailors who are without relatives
or friends in New York.
Without regard to race or religion,
the numerous settlement houses will
throw open their doors to welcome
the children to their Christmas tree
festivities. Other parties for chil
dren will be given aboard the warships
at the Brooklyn navy yard and a "par
ty for 1.000 children will be given
aboard the liner Leviathan.
The orphans' homes, the clny nur
series, and the children's hospitals are
preparing for elaborate festivities.
There will be special festivities for
the wayward boys in Children's Vil
lage, at Dobbs Ferry; Christmas trees
and presents for the sick and conva
lescent in the long white wards of
Vellevue; a party for tiny negro chil
dren and their white friends off the
street in the Union Baptist Church; a
Christmas party for the poor in the
Friends' Meeting House—these and
thousands of others will help to make
Christmas a joyous season for the
poor and unfortunate in the great
city.

There was no official confirmation

through the impossibility of handing
over Mosul to Turkey in eonsquence
of an additional report by General

tillery, today modified before the
Mitchell court martial his previous
testimony that 10,000 anti aircraft
gups could not protect an area ns
large as the city of Washington from
an air attack.
He at first refused to alter the
meaning of what he had said, explain
ing that although anti aircraft guns
could protect “certain points” they
could not protect the nrea ns a; whole'.
Under hammering by the prosecution,
however, ht> conceded finally that 10.-

would be an effective defense. He
insisted that the number would not
be sufficient in cloudy weather or at

The incident was mentioned casual

discussing it.
Evidently, he said, his correspond
ent. whose name was not divulged, did
not know that the Governor lacked
such authority. The Governor can
not even fill a vacancy on the board,
the General Assembly reserving that
right to itself, he said.
This is one of the few boards in the
State, the Governor pointed out, in
regard to which the Governor has no
appointing powers. He can even fill
a vacancy on the Supreme court of the
State, but lie cannot fill a vacancy on
the board of trustees of the Univer

PUTS A 15-MINUTES
NOVEL ON THE AIR
Cosmo Hamilton Says Age of Novel- l
I Reading is Fast Disappearing. . ,
New York, Dee. 14.—The first ra
dio novel that is, a novel written j
solely for publication by radio and i
not in book form —was put on the \
air here a day or so ago through.
Stations WJZ in this city and WKO
in Washington, D. C, by the author, ;
Coseo Hamilton.
In a statement made a few days j
ago, the English author said that the !
age of novel reading was fast dis
appearing and foretold a future
kind of novel that would be con
densed from 80,000 or 00,000 words ; ;
to the number' of words that could be 5
spoken in twelve or fifteen minutes. |
"Sons anil Mothers,” the first of ,
its kind, was the novel Mr. Hamilton \
read to his unseen audience last
night. The author commenced read
ing his work at 8 o’clock and reach- j
ed the closing sentence about Ifreen
minutes later. In that time be bad ;
read a novel that contained virtually |
all the elements to be found in the .
popular novel of today. There were
no lengthy descriptions of iiersons or ]
scenes, but where descriptive matter 1
was essential to the continuity or
development of the plot, it was in- 1
eluded.
Mr. Hamilton said that in the fu- j
ture he expected to devote consider- •
able time to writing novels of a
similar character that wbuld be suit- |
able to a radio audience. He gave u»
his reason the belief that the era I
when people stayed at home and
settled down comfortably with n ■
book, was almost gone. In its place* 'a
lie said, had come the radio and eve
nings were spent listening to what ,
, was coming over the air. Thus, be s
said, there undoubtedly was a de- J
ninnd for tltej kind of novel that 1
could bold the nterest of a radio lis- |
, tener for a reasonable length of i
time in competition with other forms s
1 of entertainment supplied by the <
broadcasting stations.
