S L A A CONCENTRATED OINTMENT Wistful STATE TO REPLACE FEET LOST IN ACCIDENT. SMITH CONDEMNS CHARITY BY PUBLIC Urges Return to Private Aid in Address to Catholic Group. By the Associated Press. PEORIA, IIl, October, 3.—Alfred E. Smith described public charity as “cold” and “costly” last night in urging that private agencies take over the burden of caring for the unfor- tunate. The former New York Governor spoke before 3,000 persons gathered in the State armory at the closing ban- quet of the National Conference of Catholic Charities. He said: “Public money will never take care of our asylums, Catholic hospitals, family cases that need assistance and our homes for the ‘aged and Infirm. ‘That s the work of the church and it cannot be performed intelligently by any body of public officials.” Ordinary People Foot Debt. If the Government had to conduct all the efforts, he added, “the taxa- tion would be such a burden * would | have to be passed back to the very people we are seeking to benefit.” “Ordinary people may not feel the GREAT EASTERN ¥/ < bus system 2 oisrnior 5600 w ANNAPOLIS HOTEL sis:ra Substantial savings on round trips toall partsof U. pmslunuu 3‘“ NEW FAST THRU EXPRESSES — NO CHANGES Also New Fast Expreu $0rvico to: s the-bess timetotravel, .P:u'll!l:' 0 - Porter & free pillowservice.

Nobody escapes the tax gatherer.” Church welfare workers give their gervices, Smith said, but Government officials have to be “well paid” for their endeavors. “Public charity,” he asserted, “is cold—and is administered in a per- functory, businesslike way. It Is very costly.” Smith contended the poor and the | bread lines formed a problem even ‘in 1929. Hospital Costs $40,000,000. In stressing the expense of welfare | undertakings, he said a hospital re-! eently finished on Long Island, N. Y., eost the State $40,000,000. The same | State, he continued, spends more than $40,000,00 a year to operate 13 hos- brecht, whose tiny feet were sheared off by her father's mowing machine, will be able to walk again, and to play again, almost as well as more fortunate children. Doc- tors at Dyckman Hospital and the New York State Health Depart- ment are going to give Charlotte “mechanical feet"—and then, per- haps, she'll smile again. —A. P., Photo.

The church provides the ways and means, all we have to furnish is the | wherewith.” None Escape Tax Gatherer. Applause greeted this statement: “No body escapes the tax gatherer. | The question in the minds of the people today is how to keep track of him.” Smith spoke from a rostrum crowded ! $5 Sensation Foundations For Friday All-over Lastex Foundations; with lace uplift busts; low backs.
