Issues n Warming,

The public is warned by the Associated
Charities against a young coloced girl Civ
ing the name of Mary Gordon, or Mary
German. and possibly. also, other names
who has been begging in the northwest
section of the city. She generally gives
her address as Hillside or Hillsdale. Ana
costa, and tells an extremely sad story to
the effect that her mother has three or
four children, in addition to two adopted
children. and that they are in extreme pow
erty. Frequently she says they are to be
put out Of the house the next day unless
the rest is paid. The girl has been given
cards to the Associated Charities several
times within the past ten days, but has
never come to the office. and careful in
quiry by the agent and the police in Ana
costa fails to discover any such family as
that described in the story.
Benevolent people are cautioned by the
association against responding to appeals
made by unknown persons without first in
vestigating the circumstances.
