THE PASSING THRoNG

AAt no time this winter have seen 60 much need of charity as at present" said Captain Odofn, of the Salvation Army, yesterday. we have had so many calls for assistance today that we have been unable to care for all Of them, and we now have eighteen families, whose needs are great, that we are looking out for the best we. can with the means at our disposal"
 Captain Odom. says that the large. number of people out of employment, especially those who came here to se- cure work, is responsible for the condi- tions which exist He relates stories of suffering that would touch the heart of the most blase.
 ''Tn order to. properly look after the needs of the suffering poof," said Cap tain Odom. i've are going to organize for charity work for the rest. Of the winter so that we can see that only tl1ose worthy cases will secure sup plies. I have come across several easea of imposition recently, and 1t Is for the purpose of seeing that those who are really in need of assistance and who cannot help themselves that we are going to establish a regular charity branch, and if the public of Montgomery will refer all appeals for aid to us we'll investigate every case and See that those applying are worthy of being helped. Of course we are badly in need of something with which to help those who have nothing to eat and no fuel during this very disagree able weather. Those who are not in a petition to give feod or fuel can contribute cast off clothing that will bA of just as much value in this work Of relief. We have tliree unusually distressing cases. One of these Is a widow, recently bereft, with seven chfldfen. One of these is old enough to work, but he earns so little that 1t. is not aufficient to pay house rent. Those interested in this charity work win do us a great favor to either call me up or come to sec me, or let me know where I can see them and will tell them where much, good can be done"
