Tell us about your | under. | the | owing six and good will of the people of Wash- ington. Its work is supported en- tirely by voluntary contributions, for it receives not one dollar from Con- gress or the District. Its workers stand on the firing line. Its eight neighborhood offices cover the entire city like so many watch towers. These offices are located within walk- |ing distance of every section of the town. These 14 familics are only a few that come to the attention of these soclal workers. In November alone, while the weather was yet mild, the visitors of the Associated Charities reported 386 families under care, as compared with 258 for the corre- sponding month of last year. The number is bound to be increased dur- ing the Winter months. But none of the money gliven for the 14 oppor- tunities is spent for general relief purposes. except for the 14 famllies represented in the appeal The feeling of personal responsi- bility among some of the annual con- tributors to the opportunity fund is shown in a letter received the cial Service House thls morning. Decfies Against Change. “For two or three years,” says the writer, “I have asked that my eon- tribution be applied on Opportunity No. 6. This year in studying over your list I thought No. 2 seemed to be in worse copdition. So I thought T would ask you to switch, but when 1 came to write my check I felt sort of a responsibility for, as well as interest in, No. 6, and it didn't seem quite fair to make them suffer for some one else, especially as you may depend upon the old contributors to ntinue with the same family. “No. § seems to be responding splendid to the help given, and it is a real source of satisfaction to me to be of some assistance. Therefore, as T don’t feel that I can help both, I'll send it as heretofore to No. 6 They seem well on the road to self- support. where without your help they would very likely have gone Bvidently the writer of the above letter feels that her “adventure in friendship,” as Grayson would call i3, has been worthwhile. Her testimony is not unlike that of many of the old friends of these opportunities, who have followed their gifts through the semi-annual reports that have been sent to them, telling of the progress In the particular familles for whose benefit they have con- tributed. OPPORTUNITY NO. 1L.—LIVING FOR HER CHILDREN. Total, $784. Closed. OPPORTUNITY NO. 2.--NO END OF WORRY AND TROUBLE. This mother has had more than her share of worry and trouble. When her husband was sent to the peniten- tiary he left her and seven children, oldest under 15, penniless and months’ rent. Thera are eight mouths to be fed, eight bodies to be _lothed and eight bodies to be sheltered, and no re- sources. The mother can be depend- ed upon to give her seven kiddies good care and training if only the means are provided. A minimum of 35 a week is needed to salvage this family, or $1,820 for the year.

Daddy worked hard and mother kept the home spick and span. Then the father was taken sick and “went away.” Now began the mother's long, hard struggle to keep the bables with her, but she couldn’t make a go of it, and when this little family came to the Assoclated 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. Thirteen dollars a week, or $676 for the year will mean 12 months of happiness to this mother and her two little girls. They are waiting. Amont asked for, $676.

He has a clerical position, and, although still crippled, 1s making good. Of course, we expected he would. A brother is also working, but their combined earnings are not enough to care for this family 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 ill- 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 FLAT TIRE?
