CHARITY AID NOW $19,000 Two Women Whose Names Are Kept Secret Give Another 91000. - WASHINGTON. Oct. 24. Making a total of $19,000 donated from the same source in 1$ years for the aid of wives and children of disabled life-savers and to widows and orphans of those who have lost their lives In the service, the usual annual Christmas check of $1000 has been' received by General Superin 1 v - r 1iV - 1 :-'"?:;;:s. S3,! ----- . . -fiijrTtr- ,ija - - tendent I. M. Kimball, coast guard, from two women who live in New York City. These women sisters, one a widow and the other a spinster have never failed, since their first check was sent in 1S96. to send a similar amount for Christmas distribution in this charity. They conceal their names from the pub lic, although, of necessity, they are known to superintendent K-imball. The two women who donate the an nual sum cf $1000 came into the office of Mr. Kimball a great many years ago, informed him that they wished to make donations to some charity, and that they had been told of distress needing relief among those who had been de pendent upon men of the life-saving service. Mr. Kimball revealed to them conditions as he knew them; the result was that the first check was turned over to him as trustee to dispose of as he saw fit. Fifteen years or more ago, another woman, a friend of these regular con tributors, gave Mr. Kimball a (1000 1 check to dispose of as he saw fit in this charity. He called upon her to ask what disposition to make of it, but she would not be induced to suggest any way other than such as he should be induced to take in getting it to the most needy beneficiaries. Last year the fund, amounting to $1038, was distributed among 11a bene ficiaries. The preceding year'' there were 107 beneficiaries, who received a total aid of $1017. Between the two years eight had been dropped from the relief list, one of them dying: sixteen were added. The new cases- grew out of conditions occurring during the year. Pensioners dropped from the list, other than the one who died, had received legacies or by other means been re moved from the necessity of such spe cial aid. Mothers Are Urged to Take Exercise With Children. Japanese One Physical Development to Kratem of Home Training at Play In Knrly Youth. AS a child grows it feels boundless joy In using its fast-growing mus cles. The developing sense of power brought about by movement and exer cise is exhilarating and delightful. 'This, coupled- with the child's Involun tary association of any pleasure with the person who gives it, explains the child's great affection for the teacher of drill and games, for the one helping it more fully to exercise its rapidly growing body. And it is precisely here that mothers 'miss their golden opportunity. Many believe themselves capable of helping their little ones over the thorny paths to reading and arithmetic, and yet think they must leave the physical ex ercises entirely in the hands of others. There,, could be no greater mistake. There is not the least need for the mother to feel "out of it" where phys ical culture is concerned. There is no reason why every mother should not he perfectly "fit" herself and have the joy of seeing her children grow the same under her own loving care. The Japanese mothers have always known this. They have kept them selves and their children in splendid health, and tightened the bond of com mon Interest and sympathy. And where are the parents treated with more tender love and respect than In Japan? The Japanese mother works on a system that has taken more than 2000 years to perfect, a system which has made the little Japanese man more than a match for any of his bulkier neighbors. From 18 months upward the Japanese baby delights in a pur poseful romp with mother every morn ing. No troublesome apparatus is needed, no other little companions; just a glorious health-giving play between mother and baby. This develops a quick and active brain, a ready an swering of the muscle to the will, & perfect physical and mental poise, a supple grace and agility of figure.
