' These Josses In a year's time easily aggregate hundreds of thousands of dollars. Charity has a - legimate place" in altl- human Industry. Sometimes, however, it is exploited by the un scrupulous to cover a purely com mercial venture and so results in wasteful diversion of money which rightfully belongs to reput able institutions.
