Most of the agency ofices were closed, but I finally succeeded in talking to & worker at the Emergency Home of the Salyation Army who very willingly promised to prepare a food basket fo: the needy family.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., November 2 (#). — The conditio>n of Robert Wii- liams, former New York stage actor who has been playing leading parts in motion pictures for the past six monlh! was said by his doctors to be “very critical” today. Williams, operated on for a ruptured appendix last week, un- derwent a second operation late last night for peritonitis. It was said he had only & fighting chance to recover. it Ml S i e by at 2:30, Chest does not give out money itselt, but refers everyone who comes to us for help to the Council of Social Agen- | cles to find out just what agency should take charge and in the second place no | one 1s refused. Our trouble s to get | people to realize that panhardlers do | not want agencies to know about them u\d prefer to get dimes and quarters begging. Charging the Chest with \rtlun to help is just & typical way of | trying to get sympathy.” “Well, how can a fellow tell whether ¢hap who accosts him is honest or If he says that he has been turned wn and. does not want to take a yel- |low slip and present it at the Chest office, the probabllity is that he is sim- |ply a beggar and you are doing an actual harm to ‘ rood social work by giv- ]m; him cash. If you want to test his story, arrange to go with him to the | Council of Social Agencies at 1418 Eyc | street northwest and see for yoursel: | how the wheels of getting him what hc | needs start to move.” ill o7 EVS Introduces a New Idea in CAFETERIA THE THERMOTAINER Keeps . etains All the 'ood Hot in Its Own Natural Moisture Delicate Flavors Served Temptingly ~—and at New Lowered Prices SPECIAL THIS WEEK ONLY ONE-HALF HOME DRESSED FRIED CHICKEN Bakery Specials for this week Keep this list for reference.
