The family, with two sick on its hands, has no income. What is the mother to do? The minimum budget which will suffice this large heuse hold calls for $£30 a week, or $1,560 for the year. That is what the As- sociated Charities is asking for them, and it must be contributed before | Christma: i Everything is on the shoulders of the mother, but notwithstanding the two hard blows she is keeping up the fight with an optimism that has ex cited the admiration of the Associ- ated Charities investigators. Six children, a sick husband, no money. no way to earn any. Up to noon today the fund totaled $3,251.90, leaving $11,828.10 to be ob- tained in order to complete the mod- est budgets in the 14 families. Views of Annual Giver. “The near approach of the holiday | season and the announcement in the press reminds us that another oppor- tunity—in fact, 14 opportunikies—is | presented to purchase for ourselves at small cost a Christmas present in the of an investment in human lives and happiness. This oppartunity affords added pleasure because of the information that similar investments in Christmas gifts heretofore made have proven so profitable.” 8o writes an annual cantributor to the 14 opportunities. . ‘The opportunity list this year is par- ticularly an appeal for the children. ‘Their number ranges from one family of two children to ome of eight. ‘Three of them are infants in arms, and are below compulsory school age, although some of these yowunger ones are attending kindergarten. The re- maining 26 children are all of school age with the exception of one who is 17. Whatever the follies of deserting fathers may have been, their children are innocent of wrongdoing. In each of these homes is a good mother more than to do a double part. All 12 of the remaining opportuni- ties have still a long way to go to reach their goal. Would-be givers are reminded that they may pledge either monthly or quarterly amounts if they find it not convenient to contribute at this time when there are so many calls for Christmas benevolence. Contributions may be sent to the Associa Charities, 1022 Eleventh strtet, or to The Evening Star. Other Opportunities Listed. ‘The other oppertunities are: OPPORTUNITY No. 1. Amount asked for, $936.

The former has a permit to work out of school hours, but he earns hardly more than enough to clothe himself. He is attanding the Voca- tional School, where he is taking a course which will lead to an ap- prenticeship at a profitable trade, if all goes well. But this is in the future.

Sickness has turned the land of promise into a land of denial for this foreign family. The father and moth- er with their three bright children had great expectations for the future in this land of their adoption. But illness, the great white plague, has suddenly dissipated their high hopes and has prevented the father from continuing to support his wife and children. ‘The mother is too frail for more than home duties. The three children are well and strong. The old- est daughter is looking forward to the time when she can leave school and become a bread winner. Recently, when coal was needed for the family. she volunteered to store it away if it would save expense, but this was hard- ly suitable work for a girl of 14.

She is facing the future bravely and is anxious as soon Billy, the younger, is old enough to enter kindergarten, to find part-time employment by which ‘she can contribute to the support of her two little ones. Following an illness, this woman is regaining her strength and courage. Her troubles have only served to increase her svmpathy for other folks whose plight seems worse than her own. When one of her neighbors recently fell ill and was obliged to go to the hospital, thereby leaving her own children without a caretaker, this mother picked up her two kiddies and moved over to her nelghbor’s home, to stay there until Thom: M.

She is an excellent man- ager and makes the most of her lim- ited resources. Mr. K. has been or- dered by the court to pay $12 a week toward the support of his children, but he has disappeared.

Its whole appear- ance reflects the quiet taste as well as the self-sacrifice of a devoted mother. The best evidence of its character, however, is not in the mother’s ability to make the most of her small posses- sions, but in the up-bringing of her three bright and beautifully mannered children. For each of them an ex- pressed wish on the mother’s part is the equivalent of a command. The oldest is but 9 and the youngest 5. The father is eerving time for bigamy and the wife hopes soon to be granted her divorce. She earns a little by home sewing, but $24 a week still is needed to complete the mother’'s modest budget, or $1,248 for the year. Amount asked for, $1,248. Previously acknowledged, $15.

Sickness, which In the experience of the Associated Charities accounts so often for dependency, plays the leading role in this family of father, mother and four children, the eldest but 12 years of age. The father has long been on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He was obliged to give up his work for a while on this ac- count. He is now employed again, but as his work is seasonal and his health precarious he cannot earn enough throughout the year to pro- vide for the needs of his family, par- ticularly in view of the fact that every member, except the baby, needs physical attention, Two of the childiren made marked gains at the Children's Health Camp last Summer, showing what can be accomplished for them under a proper health program. The visitor, who knows the situation, says ‘“there seem to be real possibilities for de- velopment in this family.” Twenty dollars a week is needed for the task in hand, in addition to what the man earns when he has work.

May we hope that in this case it will prove a fortunate designation for a most unfortunate colored mother, who has suddenly awakened to the fact that her eight children, whose ages range from 1 to 12, have no legal father. Living in good faith with the man whom she thought she had mar- ried in 1914, this conscientious woman discovers that the father of her chil- dren has a wife living from whom he has never been legally separated.

Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., December 19.— Judge Prentiss of the State Supreme Court of Appeals today refused to is- aue a temporary order suspending the Alexandria-Arlington County annexa tion proceedings, and ruled that app cations for a writ of prohibition .iled by Arlington and Fairfax Counties must await convening of the court on January 10. Counsel for the two counties, who had come here hurriedly last night in a desperate effort to halt the trial, returned to the Arlington County courthouse to prepare for resumption of the proceedings tomorrow at 10 a.m. before the special annexatfon tri- bunal hearing the case. In the applications for a writ to stop the proceedings, filed with the Supreme Court, counsel for the coun: ties alleged the anmexation law of 1924 is unconstitutional, challenged the competency of any tribunal ap- pointed thereunder and questioned the qualifications of the presiding judge, muel G. Brent, on grounds of “pe- cuniary interest” in the outcome of the case. Temporary Stay Asked. In filing the formal petitions for & prohibition writ, the legal representa tives of the defendant counties re- quested Judge Prentiss to stay the proceedings until the petitions "could be heard in open court on January 10. The justice held, however, that such a request amounted to a writ of pro- hibition and that it must therefore be heard by the whole court in reg- ular session. Heading the county legal group was John S. Barbour, and others were Commonwealth's Attorneys Gloth and Farr of Arlington and_Fairfax coun- ties, respectively. State Senator Fra ..

Carlin, Notice of the intention to apply for the writ previously had been served on ‘the annexation _tribunal, which consists of Judge Brent, as presiding judge; Judge Don P. Hal- sey of Lynchburg, and Judge Fred- erick Coleman of Fredericksburg The claim of personal interest in the case is directed only against Judge Brent, and is based on his residence in Alexandria and his financlal con- nections there. The papers question the constitu- tionality of the act of 1924, provid- ing for appointment by the governor of special tripartite courts for the hearing _of territorial _annexation suits. It was under this act that Gov. Byrd designated Judges Halsey and Coleman to sit with Judge Brent in the Arlington County Court for the hearing of the annexation suit filed by Alexandria against the coun- ties. The counties charge that this act 18 contrary to the Virginia con- stitution in that it attempts to create new courts and tends to strip the regular circuit court of its full powers. Judge Brent’s qualification to serve in the proceedings is challenged on the grounds that he acted as chief It is not necessary to have had an Ac- count at this Bank to Borrow.

The Supreme Court is told that the trial Is costing taxpayers of the coun- ties “many thousands of dollar: The portions of Arlington and Fairfax counties sought by Alexandria, it is stated, are assessed in excess $6,000,000, are inhabitated br approxi- mately 7,500 persons and comprise about one-fourth of the total area and wealth of Arlington County alone. Salient specifications in the petitions are: ‘Whereas the State constitution pro- vides for one circuit court, to be pre- sided over by one judge, the act of 1924 “undertakes to override the con- stitution and preseribe three circuit judges to hold a circuit court.” Designation of two other judges to sit_with the regular circuit judge in Arlington County “strips him of his power and Jjurisdiction to preside un- trammeled as the constitution contem- plates in all clvil cases.” Judge Brent is “deprived of power to pass any order, form any judg ment or decide any matter in the hear ing of the annexation case, and his judgment and power to decide is con trolled and nullified by two judges of another and different circuits.” Judges from other circuits have no constitutional right “to pass upon, in- fluence or control any judgment of the judge of the Circuit Court of Arling- ton County.” ‘There is no provision in the con- stitution for establishment ot “a court in banque,” consisting of circuit Judges. The “foreign” judges in the annexa- tion tribunal aré “more powerful than the Court of Appeals of Virginia,” con- trary to the Constitution, in that they have power “to override and nullify the judgment, opinion and decisions of thP! circult judge in advance of ap- peal.” WORKERS NOT SATISFIED.
