CHARITY WORK
IS FURTHERED
fcontinned from Page II

Hatfield is the field worker have re-
quired little of Miss Tibbott's time.
The various relief societies in the
different cities have been of material
assistance to Miss Tibbott. In her in
designations she has frequently found
cases where she hardly would be war
ranted to draw on the public poor
fund, but where nevertheless material
assistance could be given through
some INSTRUMENTATION.
Cooperates with Societies
Thus she found a case in Hammond
of family consisting of the parents
and six children They own their own
home. a three room cottage, and a
family owning its own home could
hardly depend on the township poor
fund. and in this case no demand was
made. But neighbors and friends call
ed the attention of Miss Tibbott to the
case. and she found that one OF the chill
dren was suffering with a broken leg.
Another was confined to its bed with a
tubercular hip while a third child has
weak lungs. The father had been out
of work on account of blood poisoning
in his hand. When Miss Tibbott was
called into the case the father was
again able to go back to work. He did
rot ask for assistance. but Miss Tibbott
brought the case to the attention of a
charity organization, which saw TO it
that the children were given clothes
and shoes. and If necessary to provide
fuel.

gave relief. but this was considerably

DIR. Townsley OF the city health de-
partment who has charge of the work
in the East Chicago end of the Twin
Cities, decided Saturday to close this
building until after the holidays.
1t was glad news to the youngsters
and to some of the teachers, although
others were disappointed. 1T meant an
interruption to their school work, and
they had made their plans to go for
their vacations later. and did not feel
that they could take advantage in all
cases of the extra time afforded them
by the earlier closing of the school.
The children were allowed to go to
their class rooms as usual, and ar
range their desks, all of their books
having been taken out for the fumiga-
ton which took place on Friday. They
were then dismissed with instructions
not to return until after the holidays.
There was whooping and yelling on
the part of the small boy on his
triumphal march homeward this morn
ing and there was gloom of a cor
responding degree in the breast Of

BLACK BUCK
/ GETS ONE YEAR

Special Judge Lucas sat on the Gary
police bench today and did something
that won the CONNIE ndation of the po-
lice.
He handed out a fine and years
Jail sentence to William Carter, a me-
gro, tough. who assaulted Alex. Rich
ter. a Ridge road contractor, with a
blackjack. The negro struck Richter
when his pay wasn't forthcoming be-
fore paying time. He was fined $25
and given one years jail sentence.
few days ago Special Judge Lucas
fined Harry Vanborn a negro who at
tempted to attack two young white
women, $500 and gave him six months
in jail. This means two years of con-
finement.
Heretofore negroes have been dealt
with too leniently in the police court
and they have grown bold and arrog-
ant as result.
