The second hand clothing question is a large one. Long since we conferred with Dr, Recks of the health board concerning it, with the result that it has become our policy to dis- pense all clean and useful garments within a few hours after they arc brought to us. distribution and nothing is gained by keeping them crawded on our shelves for any length of time.

We only re- eret that we have no means of send- ing after the bundles of clothing that | are -offered us by people who cannot get to our office with them. If the value could be accurately computed in dallars and cents, we should be im- pressed with the importance of this clothing question, although our shelves usually show a paucity of gar- ments. Clothing was given to six ing the past three months, ranging the way from a r of shoes for a homeless man, to a complete outfit, or for some mothers of large families, 1o a pile that had to be carried away in installments. At present our spe- cial need is for a great deal of cloth- ing suitable for m ng over or for immediate wear, by all the children who will be attending school in a few weeks. This summer again we have had many garden flowers brought us to be given away. Without waxing in the ieast sentimental about them, it really has been remarkable how much pleas- urc these gifts of a flower or two have brought.

At the time our local military, com- panies left for Niantic en route to the border, it looked as if there might be immediate need of soldiers’ comforts | and hospital supplies, and as the local chapter of the American Red Cross had given up its winter quarters, a prompt and cordial invitation was extended for them to make use of our offices for headquarters and distribut- ing center for as long as they liked. The offer was accepted, and the Red Cross flag floated from our windows as long as there was neced of main- taining such activiti We only wish that this pleasant cambinat could be continued indefinitély.

An auto ride would be a wonderful ad- venture to them. New Britain is not vet so large or co that ambi- s fresh air excursions are a necc sity, although there is plenty of dom in planning parks and ercunds against the city's growth. Fortunately it is not incum- bent upon us to help range any huge free-for-all picnics composed of persons of every race and creed, whose only bond is their poverty.
