"Daughter of the Dragon" at

men and women that makes for

to the Army? Why not give the
children a chance to give toys to
the less fortunate?
There is also a shortage to of
turkeys and chickens which may
be used to supply the soup kit
chen for Christmas day. "We try",
said Adjutant Parsons, to have a
bit of extra holiday spirit for the
soup kitchen on Christmas day. It
brings something of the Yuletlde
into the hearts of these men who
are alone and many of them very
unfortunate in this world."
Just at present the Salvation
Army headquarters is a very busy
place. Boxes are being prepared
for delivery, Investigations by the
dozens are being made of people
who are reported in need, and re
quests are being checked with
other organizations to avoid du

done which can be done by the
