Million Dollar Gift Boosts Kansas City Charity Work
Kansas City, Jan 29. A fortune left by Harry W Loose Jr and his father Joseph Schull Loose will pour about a million dollars into the Women's Christian Association and its two homes the Gillis Orphans Home and the Margaret Kloth Armour Memorial Home for Aged Couples. The gift funds an orphanage and expanded facilities on a 123 acre tract, to be developed on a cottage plan to house 25 to 30 children per family with a cottage mother. The endowment income, around 4 000 dollars a year, plus allocations from Allied Charities, will sustain operations, with careful budgeting to ensure building and investment do not exceed income. The association, founded in 1870, has long served Kansas City and plans to grow while maintaining independence from the endowment.

Mechanical Mail Subway in London to Save Postoffice
London unveils an all mechanical mail subway running six miles beneath the city. Trains link the Eastern District post office and Paddington, carrying forty five tons of mail per hour at 33 miles an hour. Engineers, conductors, and brakemen are absent as operation is remote, with lights on diagrams guiding engine positions. The $7.5 million project, built since 1983, is expected to save about $200,000 annually. During the war the tunnel stored museum items and work was halted.
