Accord- ng to the individual budgets which have been worked out by the visitors the Associated Charities in con rence with the mothers in these amilies, the deficit between all re- sources and the estimated expen- ditures for the next 12 months totals $13,388. Less Than 50 Cents a Day. There is less than 50 cents a day for each of the 75 persons to be cared for, all but 15 of whom are children This figure, however, is nearly an average, for some of the families ccause of illness and the fact that the children are not old enough to contribute or because there are no relatives or other natural sources of help require more than the average while others in the group more for- tunately placed need less. With but two of the 14 opportun- ities closed to date, with less than one-third of the total budgets pro- vided,| and with only 6 days to | Christmas morning, the visitors of the Assoclated Charities having these |families in their care, are anxiously | waiting and watching lest their par- |ticular wards be left only partially | provided for.

She is a proud little woman, too—proud of her children. The oldest child will soon finish her vocational training and be ready to add to.the family income. The next one, a lad of school age, earns what he can after school hours. The hand- some 10-year-old and the independ- ent 8-year-old bring home fine school reports And there is an affectionate little fellow in the kindergarten, and a dear 3-year-old, the pet and pride of the family.

Then the father W taken sick and ‘“went away. Now began the mother's long, hard struggle to keep the babies with her, but she couldn’t make a go of it, and when this little family came to the Associated Charities matters were pretty desperate. Now life's much brighter, for they have a real home once more, just chock-full of happi- ness. Can they keep it? Yes, but only with help.

Last Christmas we called him “Tiny Tim,” but he is nearly a man now, for he has a job. He has a clerical position, and, although still crippled, is making good. Of course, we expected he would. A brother is also working, but their combined earnings are not enough to care for this famlily of a widowed mother and seven children. When the father died there seemed to the mother no way out but to put the children in institutions. The baby died. “Tiny Tim" became crippled through ili- ness, and the children all pined for “mother. Now the sun seems to shine through the clouds, for they have a home and self-support is in sight.

A widow with four children and an aged mother is cheerfully trying to meet the problems of her household, but unless she has financial assistance she will have to leave her charges to their own devices in order to support them. The grandmother earns a little with her sewing when her feeble strength permits. One child is now old enough to work, and is meeting her own expenses and helping with the family budget. But there are three others of school age, all hearty eaters, and inclined to outgrow their clothes. Twenty-one dollars a week, or $1,092 for the vear is needed. Amount asked for, $1,092.

Some one oftered to adopt the children, but this idea dldn’t suit Mrs. Y., for they were her children—she had struggled for them and wanted them.

You know the story —not enough money, not enough rest, not enough food, and then collapse— acute undernourishment, the doctors call it.

We want to tell vyou a little about this trip—it was a real picnic. The three children went with one of the workers of the Asso- ciated Charities and spent the day at Chesapeake Beach—Ilunch, paddle in the water, mud ples and the joyous merry-go-round. Happy? We think so! Mother was left a widow with three little children and since she was too il to do any work, she was in a panic for fear her. children would be taken away from her.. Now the world's a little brighter, for they are all together and mother's health is tmproving. Jim has tuberculosis, but they say that with proper care and food he can be a strong, healthy man.

Coast Guard Declares Rescue Ship Unseaworthy. The Coast Guard cutter Manning, which has gone to the rescue of many a ship in distress, is unseaworthy herself and cannot safely be used, the Treasury advised Congress yesterday in requesting $150,000 to provide for a general overhauling of the boat. Expenditure of this amount, Coast Guard officlals estimated, would en- able the cutter to answer distress calls for another 10 years, whereas it would cost $875,000 to replace her with a new ship. e Lawrence Housman, the English poet, has prepared the plans for his house to be erected at Glastonbury. “Co-0peration Means Success” Standard Value in Apartments Selling new 3 and 4 room Apartments on the Co-operative Ownership plan at $5,800 to $7,200 Pay Only One-Fifth Cash Monthly payments of $58 to $72 will meet all expenses and interest It means you become “Ownmer” ., instead of “Temant” for what you wosld ordinarily pay as rent.
