LAD ANXIOUS T0 WEAR BLUEUNIFORM Volunteers Make Decided Hit with Nine-Year-0ld Lad Who Needed Help y MOTHER IS FORCED TO WORK Little Tommie, aged 9, just thinks | he has about the grandest home in the world now. Up to three days ago he lived with his mother in a little room, and it| got awfully cold sometimes, and sometimes mother would ery. Then mother bundled him up one morning and brought him to this fine | place where he is now. There's a great big room, and upstairs there are many rooms and it's always warm and every- body’'s kind to him and he goea to achool and has nice warm red mittens to wear and a warm little overcoat. And mother mever cries. Oh, it's just grand! Tommie's grand home is the Volun- teers of America headquarters, 114 North Fifteenth street, where the McCormicks are taking care of him. His father Is dead and his mother works to make the Yving for both of them. $he has relatives, but they declined to take care of Tommie while his mother was at work. They have enough “little troubles” of thelr own, ‘Then she remembered the Volunteers. Bhe had attended some of thelr street meetings In the summer and she believed they would help her. When she told her story to Mrs. Me- Cormiek of the Volunteers she won her beart right away. And little, smiling Tommie clinched the bargain. S0 the McCormicks look after Tommie Al day, foed him and wash his face and hands and get him ready for school. And when he 1sn't in school he's explor- Ing his big grand home, upstairs and downstairs. And, then, in the evening his mother cothes home from work and they say Koodbye and go to their room for the night. Tommie is such a nice, good, little boy, say the MeCormicks, that it s really a pleasure to have him there. Tommie has his dreams, too. Some fay, when he's & man, he says, he's foing to be a “Vol'a'teer’ and wear a l | i Dr. Willett Says We Learn from the Stars a._ng Children Dr. Herbert L.
