The Shawnee Investment 534 Kansas Avenue Phone 5C50 Spalding Reading Circle Entertain in School House on Seward Avenue Some Children's First Tree. Three hundred children, so quiet that there seemed hSrdly a sound, in all the room, with bright, black eyes fixed upon the marvelous tree that was for many of them the first of the kind they had ever seen, greeted Santa Olaus when he appeared at the party given yesterday afternoon at the Mexican school on Seward avenu. The little Mexicans, from the Catholic schools and from Branner school were the guests of the Spalding Reading circle. Not a word, not a giggle was heard rhruout the entire afternoon, tho every face was wreathed in smiles and eyes spackled. Every child received a bag of candy.

The girls all received a doll, the big boys a knife and the little boys a horn. An apple and an orange was given everyone. The tree, with its tinsel and colored lighrs appealed to the eolor-loving little Mexicans. They hung about it, motionless, just looking, until gently pushed out of the way to make room for others. Even the few high school boys who were among the guests' hung about the tree, commenting on the sparkling of crystal snow and the colored lights.

Mrs. George Metzger and Mrs. W. S. Plummer had charge of the party.

When there was danger of misunderstanding, for many of the 300 guests have not yet mastered English, Andres Koderiguez, a student at the Mexican school, acted as interpreter. tor the helpless; in the ear i.ast is no stable government. While in Europe friends and relatives may send money and clothing and food by post in the Near East there is no way to send anything to the suffering people save thru the agency of the American Near Kast re-lief. From the Mediteranean to the Caucasus mountains from the Aegean to Jhc Caspian and the lied seas, thousands upon thousands, of human bemgs are wandering homeless and helpless. In the dead of winter, children are dying by the roadsides little lost children who have forgotton their names and whose childhood has been one long martyrdom of exile and flight like that Iligiit of old into Egypt.

The only heip, the only Hope of these people is in America. Witn pathetic faith they look to us to save tnem. We can do it. On Christmas day the Near East relief appeals to every American family fo taKe one, or more of the orphans whom American charity is keeping alive, into its bosom.

This is a story of Christmas spirit, and what it is doing for a freckled, snub-nosed little boy. who, until a few weeks ago thought that the world had no use for boys and that life was a fight. One night a few weeks ago a yellow headed, dirty and husky youngster was taken from the blind baggage and handed over to the Topeka police.

The police in turn took him to Miss Virginia Campbell at the Provident association. The story that Tom, the boy, told was that his mother had run away and left him, and he didn't have any home and had decided to "beat it" to Denver to try and find his grandmother. His jonrney, which started in Kansas City, was terminated by discovery in the Topeka railroads yards. Tom's clothes weren't the best in the world. When the cold days came, he was colder yet, but the grin with which he viewed the world was unquenchable.

At the home where he was placed while Miss Campbell started the search for relatives, Tom has. proved himself useful and industrious. But he's looking for word from a grandmother that can give him a home. No grandmother has. been, heard from yet.

The, thing that has convinced this snub nosed youngster, whose mother went away and left him, is the Christmas that a few people in Topeka have given him. A banker, learning of him, sent him a brand new mackinaw. A woman gave him a new pair of shoes. Not only does he look like the rest of the kids now, but looks, a little better than some. P.
