The necessity for interesting fathers
as we'll as mothers In the great work
carried on by the congress is apparent.
Many circles are planning public or
special meetings for tnis purpose.
Mrs. G. @. Noble, the tireless state
treasurer, again has given the greater
portion of the week for the advance
ment of the cause. Among other things
she reorganized the Los Fellz associa-
tion at East Hollywood, spoke before
another circle in behalf OF tine emergen-
cy work and organized branch at san
Dimas.
The association of Avenue "a school
is quite proud of a scholar who has
just graduated at the age of 12 years.
He is Richard DeCamp, a boy also
exhibiting remarkable talent as a mu-
sican.
The Mothers congress has been de-
prived of the pleasure of aiding stu
dent of the Polytechnic high school,
whose circumstances would balk almost
any determined youth. The young man
is supporting himself by working until
o'clock every morning, but Is taking
a full course of studies daytimes. He
is one of FIVE in the family, and stead
fastly refuses help of any character.
He is fitting himself for an attorney,
and will succeed. An American boy OF
mis- makeup never fails.
The Huntington Park association VIII
hold It's postponed meeting February 3.
Prof. e. j. Liekley, who knows as
much about strenuous boyhood as any
one engaged in educational work here,
will speak before the association of the
Avenue "a school at the next meeting.
Another highly interesting entertain
ment is to be presented this evening at
the club house of Echo Park play
ground. No admission is charged for
these programs, and citizens generally
should attend them, thereby lending
the influence of their presence to a
cause closely allied to the work of the
congress.
Another pathetic case has been pre-
sented to the Mothers congress. The
authorities at Patton have decided that
a young man patient there must be
sent back to Russia, his native country.
The mother, sister and brothers reside
in Los Angeles. The patient, who IS
harmless but dependent, will have to
return to a country where the dement,
ed are forced to wander at large WITH
out assistance from government or IN
dividuals. The young man has no rela-
tives remaining in Russia. The con-
gress is endeavoring to prevent the
deportation
There is no cause for the aid of hu-
manity in Los Angeles which is not in
touch with the mothers organization.
The congress is a clearing house, many
times, and most effective results are
accomplished through its kindly offices.
The deaconesses of the Methodist
church now are working with the Or
ganization. However, a greater work
could be accomplished If citizens gen
orally recognized the duty of lending
aid to this cause
