HOPELESS CRIPPLE PLEADS FOR WORK Confined to Room for Six Years, Georgetown Man Ap peals to Capital Through Times. Could You Help? Could you do ItT Could yott alt In a room alt alone, day after day, for seven years, unable to move excepting your head nnd your hands, hopelessly crippled, scmnilmes suffering such pain In your poor tnlsttd body,! which you could not move one Inch for relief, that even reading wwaa Impossible? Are you a big, strong healthy man, or are you a healthy girl, Just at your happiest years, when you feel as though you were the most un happy creature In all the world It you cannot go to the theater, or to a foot ball garnet Suppose you could never go to anything, never even dream of It, and your sole companion was one tiny ball of yellow feathers, a canary? Sounds like all kinds of silliness, doesn't ItT Twenty-three years old and a man, with a clear, active brain, and no one to talk with, no money to buy paints or brushes to work with, only a silly little bright-eyed bird sitting In a cage In front of you, day after day, chirping perhaps, singing at times, but never saying one real, sociable word or doing anything more than a slxteen-lnch-square cage will allow; and If you were poor, too poor to even buy the thinga that would make you ordinarily happy and earn you a living at the same timet Get right In the place yourself,, Mr. Man. If a smiling, happy-faced' girt Just your own age came In to see you and asked you to tell her your troubles, could you wind them up with a smile and say, "Well, It Isn't as bad as If I didn't have a front room." How about ItT Where does he live? Ifame It M. B. Burrows. His name Is Murray B. Burrows, and ho lives during the day In a chair by the window of the tiny front room of the house numbered 3517 Prospect avenue, over In Georgetown. At night his mother and she Is the only person he sees at all rolls his bed over beside his chair, and with tho help of a crutch he is placed Into his bed. In six years he has been out of doors four times, twice to the hospital, and twice when ha changed his residence. From the shoulders down he cannot move: only his hands are free, rheu matism has hopelessly crippled his lower limbs, and he Is Just twenty-three years old. All day long his mother has work to do, for she Is a "lone woman," try ing to make her living by keeping boarders and roomers, so that she bare ly finds time to carry up his meals, three times a day. Once for five days he bad some work to do, and at times he waa able to sell the plaques and dishes he had painted, but Interest died, and there was no more money to buy tho little things ha needed. China painting, a cherished dream, Is out of the question It Is too expensive; postal cards cost money.and they do not always sell and there are not always paints and subjects to be had. Don't Remember Flowers. "About subjects, do you draw from life or Just from memory?" I asked him. "Well, you see, I don't Just exactly remember what flowers look like, ex cept a daisy, or a violet, or pictures of thinga that are In the papers. "In the summer, when the crowds go out to Olen Echo, there Is lots to see out of the window. It makes me forget any pain, but Jn the winter, there aro only the football games out at George town. Not so many people coma oy even then, and when they dosay, It makes me feel Just a little bad. The football, you know." Real boy, after all. Confinement, pain, helplessness, makes no difference! v The youngster Is not appealing for charity. On tho contrary, he wants to earn his living, and Is asking tor an opportunity to do so. He wants work he can perform at home, as It Is Im possible for him to leave his residence and look for work. He can't move from his chair, unassisted. Here is his letter. What can you do? Can't you think of something that will lost? No half-way gifts, that require more than Is possible to scrape together to operate. "Editor Times: "I am Murray B. Burrows, the crip ple boy that you were kind enough to print an appeal for something to do last August I hope you will par don me for bothering you again, but I need something to do so bad I thought I'd write and ask If you would be kind enough to print sotnethlng for me again, and ask If there la anybody that could give me some work that I could do at home, aa I can't move out of the chair. I have been crippled with something like rheumatism for eight years, and I can only use my hands, fjolng stiff In my hip and knee Joints. I have not been out of my room but four tlmex In the last six years. I am twenty-three years old. I can do most any kind of fancy work, paint on china and glass, make small pictures, or I could address envelopes or anything like that. "I hope you will be able to help me, as I need work so bad. Anybody could come to see me any time. "Thanking you for what you have done, I ant "MTJRRAT B. BURROWS." Tl WEEKS MORE P FOR SAN RANCISCO IN WATER HEARING Secretary 'Fisher Indorses Demand of Army Board Comparison of Supply. Intimation that he might require an other fortnight of delay In the conclu sion of the hearing of San Francisco's plea for possession of the Hetch-Httchy valley as a source of water supply has been given by Secretary Fisher. He Indorsed the demand of the army engineering board for a unit basis com parison of the cost of supplying 400,eco, O0O gallons dally from this source and from the Bacramento river. He added, however, that later argument might make this data less Important. Fisher wanted definite promises from the San Francisco representatives that i they would develop the power poislblll I ties of the Hetch-Hetchy without de lay, .thereby releasing to commercial use Msewhere such power aa this source would supplant in the city. Former Mayor Phelan and Mayor Rolph de clared the city warited to operate Its own street railway with Its own power. Fisher ave notice he would oppose locking up power sites for cither private or public corporations. Engineer John TL Freeman, testify- i Ing on comparative advantage of pro posed alternative sources, saia mat to obtain filtered water from the next in value. Sacramento river would cost $20, oooooo to $30,000,000 more than from the valley. No Mori Ecztma Pimplts or Rath!

Beginning With SATURDAY Men Young in Years and Young in Ideas Will Supply Their Wardrobes From SOME one remarked the other day that there were already enough men's stores in town and we are not inclined to doybt this statement. We believe, however, that there is room in a city the size and character of Washington for at least one big men's shop like this, an establishment that com pares favorably with the best that New York, Boston, and Philadelphia have to offer. Washington is the country's governmental center. There is no reason in the world why it should not be a center of masculine fashion as well. Surely the citi zenship of the District is made up of the best that each State in the Union has to offer. So this new men's shop is founded upon our belief in the men of Washing ton and their knowledge of values and appreciation of styles, and our belief in their willingness to economize on the prices they pay, provided this economy is not made at the expense of their personal appearance. To such men .we expect to become their clothing and furnishing outfitters. 4 We Want This Type of Man to Inspect -"The Young Men's Shop" Opening Day, SATURDAY. 1319-021 r Street k. , 4C3sBSBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBsW sslsssssssssssAMssssssssssssV n Iff Mr These Prices For 2 Dys Only Our wonderful popular ity is due' entirely to our splendid value-giving.
