Justice Stafford's Report.

On this subject Justice Stafford's com
mittee said of the Associated Charities:
What they try to do is to remove the
cause of distress and put the weak per-
son .on his feet If he is sica, to help
him to get well. If he is out of work, to
help him to a job. If he is stranded and
wants to go to friends. to .lelp him On
his way. If a family is being abused
and neglected by a shiftless, drunken
father TO have him attended to and put
to work, in the Workhouse if necessary,
and his earnings applied to the support
of his family Isn't that better than to
support the family yourself? There are
a hundred ways in which these social
workers, who know their business, can
do good besides the mere supplying of
physical wants. although that part is
not to be despiSed, and is not by any
means neglected in their plan of opera
tons"

CHARITY WORKERS NEED
AGGREGATE OF $4,000
Appeal Made to People of
Washington citing of
Joint Committee.

A total of $2,O12 was received by the
joint finance committee of the Associated
Charities and the Citizens Relief Asso-
citation during the past week This was
the report submitted at the weekly meet
ing Of the committee held yesterday after
noon at the American Security and Trust
Company, at which Corcoran Thorn, the
chairman, presided. Others present were
Howard s. Reside, Hennen Jennings,
Walter G. Clephane, William P. Emo.
Walter Stilson Hutchins. DIR. George NJ.
Kober, Fred s. Lincoln, Frederic l..
Moore. Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, DR..

George Truesdell, NJ. l. Weller and J.
Louis Willige.
Reports showed one third Of the amount
required by these two local charities for
the current fiscal year was in nand. 1t
was the sense of the committee that
much personal work would have to be
done in order to secure the funds actually
needed.
Thirty Thousand Dollars Needed.
The hope was expressed that all per-
sons who had been accustomed to give
to this work, but who had not yet sent
in their contributions, would do SO at
the earliest moment, in order that the
committee might know how much it
would be necessary to raise to complete
the full amount needed, which the COM
mittee estimates will be $4,000 While
the members realize that this is a large
sum, they believe that Washington wants
this work done and done right. The idea
that the sole purpose of the Associated
Charities is to give material relief seems
to sstilI prevail in some quarters, not
withstanding the complete explanation
which was made by last years committee
of inquiry, Justice Wendell P. Stafford.
