Osborne presented her monthly report for March at the meet- ing of the New Britain Charity Or- ganization last evening as follov Report for Month of March. a year ago is the surprising revela- tion of our statistics for March, 1916. We can only account for this in two v Itirst, because the work of our society is keeping up a steady growth, and second, because we find a sinister thread of illness running through the | affairs of every family we touch. Text | books in civics state dr main causes of poverty are widow- hood, old age, vagran intemper- ance, immorality, non-support, and mental or ph handicap. Of course we find this statement true is our work, but there is always some underlying cause that aggravates mat- te Last year that underlying cause was unemployment. ;This year, when factories are forced to advertise for help, when housemaids are difficult to find, and when common labor for men and women demands higher pay than usual, the underlying cause is illness. In practically every family we have visited this winter we have found sickness. Many a laborer on small wages or a man with a seasonal trade might have pulled his family safely and independently through the winter if it had not been for iliness among his children. Many an elderly man or woman would have been carried through without the need of aid ir it had not been for illness. Illness has invaded all the homes of the widows whom we are helping, who that the have from one to seven children to bring up—making it impossible for them to leave the little invalids ana 8o out doing days works, and accord- ingly more has heen necessary for | them. Tilness has complicated mat- ters in more than one drunkard’s home it has made matters worse in cases of insufficient income, i s in- creased our trouble in dealing with shiftlessness and immorality and it has even effected our hobo friends, the “Knights of the road,” who are beginning to be-stir themselves with the cominz of the first spring days. They come to us with all manner of | obvious ills. In short we have noticed for several months that illness this winter has many times broken down the line between independence and charity and has aggravated troubles that would have families to us anyway. We find this Is true in other cities of the state as well as New Britain, During the month of March, 1916, there have been requests for our services: from public officials, six from private societies nineteen from other ocities, one from a church, forty-one from interested individuals and 139 from applicants themselves. We have been of service to 106 families during the month: Thirty. | nine of hese were new cases and | xty-seven were ccntinued from the brought previous month. No one applied to | us directly for work, but in carrying out our plans for families we did se- cure permanent jobs for six and tem- porary work for three. Transporta- tion was provided for three. There were 262 calls at our office, 123 from consultants and 139 from applicants Ninety-nine visits were made by the agents and six were made by friendly visitors. We were also aided by twenty-one hours of volunteer office work. It is perfectly obvious that in such'busy times and with such limited help we cannot visit some families and neglect others. That is the reason why we remain mcre hours in the of- fice and make fewer calls the more ned we are. In times of such stress the telephone is our mainstay— It‘lv(|»hnn¢ interviews this month ar witness to that. With the splendid sy stem of co- operation that is developing in this city it is wonderful how well we can catch the drift of things by telephone when circumstances force us to use method. Aid was organized of course for the families applying, and our own funds used for emergency aid. Sixty-five dollars and eighty cents was e pended from the treasurer's fund, $56.98 from the agent's fund, i from the special shoe fund for school children, and $65.90 worth of aid was organ. ized by us and paid for by interestea people, making a total of $212.43 for emergency aid during the month. Because the work of the charity or- ganization has so many divisions it Dangers of aCold New Britain People Wil Do Well to | Heed Them. Many bad cases of kidney trouble result from a cold or chill. Congested kidneys fall behind In filtering the poison-laden blood and backache, headache, dizziness and disordered kidney action follow. Tson't neglect a cold. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills at the first n of kidney trouble. Follow this New Britain resident’s example: Mrs. John Lawson, 84 John St., New Britain, says: “My back and kid- neys were weak and the trouble was f when I caught cold.

The splendid work of the visiting nurses in home nursing care, and the helpful ser- vices of the milk station in providing for New BHritain'’s babies are easily understood. But when an attempt i made to tell people that the charity organization not only gives char- italle aid but was formed twenty-two | years ago to organize aid as well; to act as a charitable clearing house and the hub of New Britain's charity wheel; to study the cause of need as presented by the individual cases that come to our attention and to work for the prevention of the causes —then a little confusion grows in their minds and they get us hopeless- serve as | 1y mixed with the public charities and | imagine the city fund Thirty- nine new cases as against | The only | twenty-three for the same month of | pay our bills. to produce mutual understanding through mutual ac- quaintance. That is the reason why, in spite of the heavy demands on us, we continue to carry on our educational work The little pilgrimages of our advisory committee still take place, and accomplish much in the way of a betier understanding of public service. Your agent joyfully accepts any invi- tations that come her way to make addresses before clubs and classes as chances to tell of the vital human of our work. Criticlsm and indiff ence usually result from lack of knowledge; it is our business to use every opportunity to describe our work and gain a sympathetic under- standing that will enable us to do bet- _ter work as time goes on. Organize Soclal Service Class. A Lenten class in social ser: e has also been formed. The class is com- posed of young women who are meet- ing at the charity organization rooms for an hour and a half every Tuesday morning during Lent. The charity or- ganization agent gives a series of in- formal talks on cosmopolitan New Britain, the work of the many churches and welfare agencies in gen- eral, and the work of the charity or- ganization which touches all others— in particular The class is very suceessful and is opening up a new vision of our city to these young women. Very likely several such groups will be formed next year during Lent Itemjzed Monthly Report. Monthly report for month ending March 31, 1916.

Mud and Grades No Oakland Barricr. To travel twelve miles in eight hours wouldn’t strike many at first thought as living the life that burns the candle at both ends. But if anv one were put to the test recently ac- complishes by Thomas Ryan, he would probably surrender the job be- fore the day was over as being too strenuous for ordinary mortals. Thomas Ryan is superintendent the sursion Inlet Cannery Alas and is a motorist to the manor born- in any cvent he takes to it just like a duck takes to water. If he were to receive a commission to scale Mt McKinley, the first thing he would probably do would be to tank up his Oakland Six. His business took him down to the vicinity of South Bellingham, Wask- ington, Tecentl Anyone who traveled that beautiful state knows that there are plenty of ups and downs In it—many times they seeum like they are all ups. Anyhow, Ryan had occasion to drive into some rough country and naturally he used his Oakland six to take there. He wrote the Oakland factory: “I made miles in eight hours one day, ing all the time in low gear up per cent. grade with wheels down to axles in mud, and I doubt if T had any other car I would have got through. 1 wore out five tires on the trip. On one hill that I climbed /T met a teamster at the top who asked me if I had come up that hill, and when T told him that T had, as thers was no other way of getting where T was he took out his book and asked me for the name of that car, as he wanted one, as he tried to go up that same hill with an empty wagon drawn by four horses.'” Bt Ryan don’t climb hills alto- gether, for he also states he has just put 3,000 miles on his speedometer in four months, and on a recent tes! with his Oakland Six he made 100 miles on four and 1-2 gallons of g line, which is practically twenty-two and one quarter miles per gallon. other ; Leonard & Herrmann & i am a merchant.
