The Poor Know the Needs of the Poor An elderly woman walked into The Star editorial rooms yesterday aft <rnoon and laid two silver dollars on a desk. “That is for Mrs. Jones, the scrubwoman who must have a little home of her own,” she said. “I have been a serub woman myself, and worked from 6 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock at night for a dollar a day back East, I know what the work is, and I know Mrs. Jones’ need, That was all. ‘The ex-scrubwoman smiled a pleasant good- bye, and left the silver dollars and the loving thought for Mrs, Jones behind her, But she cheered us all up wonderfully. It looks as though that bet that the people of Seattle would not raise $1,000 to buy a lot and build a home for the patient little old scrubwoman would be lost-—and that will make everybody a little happier It’s always the poor who help the poor, who understand each other's needs most, who GIVE most. ; Yes, the people are going to raise the money for Mrs. Jones little home. And after the money is available, won't it be fus to watch the selection of a lot, the choice of house plans, and | the actual erection of the place?
