PfohAbiT there IL no buster woman In this
country than Consul Booth Tucker Of the
Salvation Army Her work begins With
daylight, ard. NJ she said In = recent speech.
the public would hardly look urob tho Com
inandor and her ss respectable characters
II II know what late hours they keep The
volnn" of executive work that goes through
tho hands and tho brain Of this one woman
ts astonishing, and even her Army associates.
who arc workers themselves, resolve their
oonversatlon into exclamation points whom
they speak OF the work accomplished by their
superior officer
The long continued strain and stress havs
told upon tho Consul sho Ia much thinner
than when che came 10 tlhs country and her
fresh En- slish color has faded, but her energy
has grown rather than diminished. and tho
slender. pale woman, with shsrply-cut features
and glowing eyes gives one an impression
OF almost superhuman vital force cased In
a frail body, On the platform and In her
oiiice she is energy and vigor personlned.
II Is only In moments OF relaxation that tho
note OF fatigue creeps into her face and voice
i am tired. frightfully tired she con-
fessed to Sun reporter the other day; but
there Is no time for being tired now. We
have so much on hand that there must be no
let-up for tho next few months Tho Salvs-
ton Army In all parts OF tho country Is eK-
tending its work. and every new venture
needs the support and personal Interest OF
tho Army's heads The Commander and
must be in touch with every smallest branch
OF the work, and yet tho work right here in
New York IL colossal
This ohldren's home at Fort Amity,
for which our bazaar Is being held, Is one OF
the new schemes In which | am most vitality

| am sure we touch tho right chord In human
nature when we appeal for help for the chill
dren. There IL always q response to that
call. and tho WORK Is piufuly needed. Our
Cherry Tree Home at Rutherford n j., has
not been half large enough for our purposes.
aAd 1t has been bitter trial 10 10 obliged 10
turn away the children who needed our help.
Inc taIng isn't to yC borne any longer There
are health and happiness for tho Chtldren in
our Colorado colony. al we neea 10 the
money L. Duld and equip home out there.
We can and wtll get tie money Meanwhile
the home Is AUiAg up.
Then there is our new Industrial Home
on lAlrtceuth street. The work II repre-
etnts Is another OF tho branches into which
my deepest sympathy rocs. You probably
know something OF our rescue work, but
ho outsider can know half or a tenth Of what
II rrans our Eescue lone on East FiI-
teeEth street has never been large enough
to accom-" "odate the unfortunate girls and
women who sought refuge with us. and the
problem o. taxing care OF them has been a
most perpieX King one No department of
the Armys work has been crowned with
greater success than this rescue work, but
We need money and help. lave been asked
innumcrable times IN tie last, few weeks to
state the stand that the salvation Army
takes In regard 10 the suppression OF vice
and the present crusade.
