Chip perfield, chairman of the domestic committee; Mrs. Minnie F. Wright. chairman of devotional committee. and Mrs Louis MelcZer is chairman of the advisory committee.
 Those interested in this work feel much gratified at the selections made for the new members on the board. and feel that greater success for this work is assured. The home now shel- ters a number of girls who enjoy it's protection, teachings and home com forts, through the generosity of the people of Phoenix and other friends throughout the territory. The Crit tenton Home work is familiar to ev- cry resident of Phoenix, because of the wonderful good that 1t has done dur ing the past thirteen years, having sheltered many homeless girls. caring for those that were i'll. adopting and sending to school the orphans and bringing to bear every influence to save the fallen. President Roosevelt said of this work:
 T wish you all possible success with your work, for l have long felt that there was a peculiar claim for philan- thropic work on behalf of our girls. Under our social system they pay so heavy a penalty for any wrongdoing. and the road to reform and rehabili- tation is made so difficult, that I can conceive of no more worthy work than that of institutions such as the one under -our management"
 And this is now the opinion of the people of Phoenix, that there is a cry ing need for this work, a home to shel- ter any helpless, destitute or fallen girl The home has in many cases fulfilled the lack of an Orphanage in the city and has now one orphan girl whom 1t has been sending to the pub lie schools for five years. It has also been a hopsital for sick. penniless c.fr tn Chalta,- fa It has kept numerous girls who failed to find employment. and placed them in good homes or found them the em- plOyment to which they were best suited. It has received girls from the jails who did not know where they would go when released from their punishment.
 Those contributing to this work have felt their reward in the results they have seen accomplished. Those who ! have been interested in the home and have had it under their management are deeply gr'', -dl to all who have been contributing to its welfare and making the work possible. Many plans are being laid. and it is believed that the Crittenton Home will now do even greater good than it has done in the past.
 The field secretary of National Flor ence CrittentOn Home missions is here and will make a trip through the ter ritory in the next two weeks, bringing the Phoenix Crittenton Home before the people; welcoming girls who need it's protection. and speaking in the be- half of all destitute and unfortunate girls.
 There is no need for any unprotect- ed girl in Arizona to remain destitute, hungry or seek a life of shame, for this home. with its well equipped plant for their benefit, stands ready to help them. The home is located at 1O5O l Garfield street.
