A truly horrible story Is that which comes
from Chicago and gives details Of the death
or starving woman who was fatally
crushed while in a multitude of unfortu-
nate men and women who were applying
for little temporary relief. In company
with her husband-neither of them having
tasted food for more than forty-eight hours
this victim Of a mob's hunger was in the
county charity agents office awaiting the
bestowal Of a few necessaries. Others were
there as empty as she and less patient
Unable to control themselves-many being
rendered desperate by starvation-most of
the waiting ones engaged in a struggle for
the best positions in line, and while the fight
was in progress the weak woman who hun
gers no more. was so severely injured that
within few hours she died. 1T is an aw-
full condition which exists when a physic.
ally weak woman, who never asked assist
ance in all her days before. is crushed to life
lessness by fellow-beings whose frenzy for
bread is almost murderous. Destitution so
pitable Is not known to exist in the Dis.
trict OF Columbia, but there have been, and
doubtless are, many individual instances of
local want only trifie less distressing.
Opportunity is now afforded every WASH
ingtonian who can give-no matter how
small the contribution-to subscribe some
thing toward the amelioration of distress
the like of which was never before known
in this community.

essarily wasted; that the efficiency reaches
a reasonable average. and that sick leaves
are not improperly obtained. But there are
at least two ways in which the work of
supervision can be conducted. In some
offices there are tendencies to harshness
and to the cultivation in a few of dicta-
torial manners toward the subordinate
many; under those conditions the spy-sys-
tenn flourishes and a feeling of unwholesone
distrust Is generated In other offices the
subordinates are treated as though they
were honorable men and women-as nine
tenths OF them, or more, undoubtedly are

quantity of work per capita than can posi-
bly, be accomplished in departments OIL
bureaus where the inquisitorial methods pre-
