the story, told by the neighbor, asked
endless scientific questions. Then she
prepared to leave, but the neighbor
halted her and Indignantly asked
what the statistical charity meant to
do.
The investigator deliberated. The
situation called for some thought.
The poor are so impetuous and so
very indicate. They really want
something given to them right away.
At the end of her deliberations the
investigator handed the neighbor
dollar bill, and then asked for re-
ceipt and sailed majesticaIy away.
The neighbor had problem. A
whole dollar to buy coal; to buy fan
mel for the child; to buy food for the
mother; to pay the landlord who was
clamoring for the rent; to make
payment on the furniture which the
instaIment house was threatening to
take away. 1t took even more DELHI

Perhaps mot to take one iota OF
credit from the statistical charities
it was they who sent doctor from
the Presbyterian Hospital, and the
doctor sent a visiting nurse to spend
half an hour fixing the mother and
child up for the day. .....- .,...
At any rate, the statistical chart
ties sent the investigator to make
second visit Monday night.
"She wanted to ask some more
questions" the neighbor told the re-
porter, but got angry and told her
that while she was investigating the
coal bag got empty and handed her
the doctors prescription which call
ed for fifty cents worth Of medicine.
"She gave me another dollar and
went away again. l could have cried.
