The charge for the tickets is $2 a couple.

Tickets are on sale at the (Brooklyn Comforts Committee headquarters in The Eagle Building. In addition to the proceeds of the ball, the fraternity has sent out an appeal setting forth the patriotic efforts of Miss- Calder and her co-workers in providing knitted garments for the Brooklyn boys in service. This appeal has already resulted in the following donations: Mrs. Peter W. Rouss, Mrs.

William S. Macdonald, Mrs. William M. Parke, Goldsmith H. Williams.

The women, none of "whom had been among the suffragists jailed for picketing the White House, attracted a great deal of attention in the crowded avenue. There was no effort at a demonstration for or against the suffragists ex cept that some one yelled, "They ought to be at home knitting socks for the soldiers instead of parading around with a yellow banner." Miss Elsie Hitl.

one who paraded, and a daughter of former Representative Hill of Connecticut, said they expected "that sort of thing, you know, for there is always this type who shout such advice." Others in the parade were. Mrs. Samuel L. Martin, Miss Helen Klumph, Mrs. Inez McCleary and alias Julia Hurlbert, all of Manhattan.

The women replaced White liouse pickets, who had been jailed and eleased in Washington, and to have marched, but for various sons could not keep their engager ments.wMiss Hill said. j'; activity as the bundles were brought in by the knitters. In most cases the women gave the names of boys in the service to whom they wished the garment to be sent. Miss Calder's band of workers were hustling every minute wrapping up the packages and addressing them to the bovs for whom they were intended. Each, package bears the name of the woman who knitted the garment and a printed request signed by Miss Calder asking the boys who get the woolen comforts to write a letter of thanks to the maker.

To the credit of Miss Calder's organization it must be said that a most complete record of the garments is kept. An instance to prove the efficiency of the system occurred yesterday. A woman who had made a sweater for a Brooklyn sergeant stationed at a camp in Texas called up on the telephone to say that the man had not yet received the garment. The files were consulted. Thev showed that the woman had turned in the garment on December 2 and that It was mailed on December 3.

A parcel Dost Insurance receipt for the package was pro Christmas Trees Planned by All Captains, With Gifts for Little Ones. FERRISS ST. "UNLOADING" The Homestead Civic Association of Woodhaven fears that the legal opening of Ferrlss street will result in a local assessment as heavy and as unpopular as the recent assessment for the opening of Ashland street. At a meeting of the organization Friday night it was declared that some persons on Ferriss street or within the assessment area are trying to "unload" their holdings on the city at high prices. It was alleged that $16,000 is being asked for a house worth about $8,000, and that the owner of a garage worth $700 wants $1,500.

It was reported that Thomas F. Smith and Frank Klinzing are making a thorough investigation of the matter. A public hearing is expected to be held on the proposition. The Public Service Commission and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company were criticised because of what was termed the miserably poor service on the Jamaica Avenue Line. Edward Powell was elected president, defeating O.

E. Niedhardt for the office by 2 votes. Other officers elected were. P. J.

I wish there was a way of dealing with them as with enemies," declared Justice Freschi of the Court of Special Sessions, Manhattan, yesterday, to Hyman Borrok of 1360 Boston road, who was brought before him for examination on charges of hoarding Three hundred and fifty more Brooklyn boys in the Army and Navy were provided with warm woolen sweaters during the week as a result of the unflagging interest that the patriotic women of Brooklyn are showing in the campaign of the Brooklyn Comforts Committee and The Eagle for "a sweater for every boy."

AtrtMnm The tedious task of turning a "cop" Into a chum to the child of the slums has been accomplished by Police Commissioner Woods.

He began the Job when he first took possession oi the work of the Police Department as the head. He got schoolboys interested. He had them organize into junior police, and put them on their good behavior. Ho Induced them to do little jobs that the police had been doing In the way of securing sanitation, and he taught them that as long as they, obeyed the law they had nothing to fear from the police. But he gut nearest to the little ones by organizing a Santa Claus movement in the precincts.

It was an easy Job and, paradoxically, a hard one. The work of getting contributions from the people in precincts was easy. The work of rounding up the needy little boys and girls and preparing for a Christmas celebration was the hard one. Captains and lieutenants and sergeants were called on for extra duty, which they unselfishly performed. An instance of that is in the case, of the Poplar street precinct.

Captain Rouse, who knows very little about the people in the district, for he has not been in the precinct long, turned to his men for help. Acting Lieutenant Walter Joyce was one of the men appealed to. The Christmas celebration in the Poplar street precinct is to take place on Monday at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Acting Lieutenant Joyce said that In addition to other means of entertainment he. would try to get "talent." He got it.

Frank Grossbard' will give the "Somers Revue of Revues," under the direction of Dan Dody, at the Poplar street station on Monday afternoon. Al Levlne's California Jass Sextette will also be on hand. Five men performers and eleven charming girls will supply the vocal music. And the talen is to he varied and unusual. Captain Barnes "fell down," the Deputy Commissioner declared, at the last Christmas celebration, but Captain Rouse is anxious to make amends, and he is getting ready for what might be called, and no pun is intended, a rousing celebration.

Throughout the city there will be unusual entertainments. Every captain is calling on his friends to help out. With the joyful generosity of folk in the theatrical business there has been no backing down. No high priced entertainers has for. a moment dreamed of refusing.

From the biggest man in the profession to the lowliest there has been an enthusiastic "Yes" to an invitation to serve. From Tompkinsville to City Island there has been no indication that the Christmas of the little folk engineered by Arthur Woods in his last year of police service' would bump badly. Money has not been coming in so well this year and there will be some shortage. An example is in the Adams street precinct, in Brooklyn. Last year the 700-odd children who were the beneficiaries of old Santa got shoes, as well as stockings.

This year there are no shoes. And in most of the precincts there will be candy. -The sugar famine has so interfered with the candy men that many of them have given money instead of stock. In the Poplar street precinct there is a big candy factory, and the little ones down there will have a bag of sweets in addition to the toys and fruits they will have. The official (foliation to each child is a paper bag containing one apple, one orange, a cap, a pair of stockings, a bag of dates, a bag of cracker-jack and a toy.

The girls will get dolls and the boys games. The rest of the entertainment is left to the commanding officer of the precinct. He is supposed to supply the entertainment. In the Adams street precinct Captain Coleman, who is disturbed over the fact that there will be no warm and waterproof shoes handed out this scriptions of About $1,500. TEL.
