Too Proud to Beg.
"They would rather starve than ac-

am aware of the financial conditions
of some of my customers, it is not be-
cause they told me. They are too SEN
sitive to question and the facts which

With charity workers meeting such
conditions, they say the necessity for
neighborhood help is too evident to
neglect. If their plans are carried out,
they say, all the money the more fortu-
nate people will give, can be used con-
veniently in this city.
The central charity bureau has some
information regarding work of this ma
ture. There are families which cam
not be reached by organized charity
who are receiving financial aid in the
way of loans from friends or neigh
bors or in secret neighborhood work.
1--WE want more people to get behind
such work." some of them declare.
There is opportunity for every family
in good circumstances in Richmond to
help some other family in Richmond
if it will. The difficulty We encounter
in promoting such work is that the
most inaccessible people We want to
reach, often live in communities where
their neighbors are not in position to
do more than support their own i'm
mediate families. The work has to
be sought and when it is found. 1t must
be properly handled in order not to
arouse suspicion among those being
helped or among even their assoc
iateS."

Mrs. A. w. Roach, who has super
viSed the visiting nurses work. said
today the association has two big OBJ
stacles to overcome before Miss Ben

her convalescence. The chief of the
obstacles is the lack of money.
Inview of the intelligent and con-
scientious manner in which Miss Ben
ner carried on her work. the associa-
tion members decided to pay all her
expenses while she is in the hospital.
While enough money has been sup
piled for the work here. there is not
enough money to employ an expert

noon, the members of the executive
board had no plans to present. but
said they would appoint committee
to arrange Immediately for nurse to

force of men for the purpose of clean.
ing streets, the men to be employed
at $50 o'clock this morning.
BY $3.50 o'clock this morning a large
number of men had assembled. By
the time Mr.. Knollenberg reached his
office nearly 200 men, all without
jobs and quite few penniless, throng-
ed the city building. From this crowd
Mr.. Knollenberg selected thirty-three
men whom he at once put to work
cleaning North Fifth street.
Mayor Robbins said today that the
extra street cleaning gang would
probably be increased to fifty tomor-
row. He said he would have liked to
have given employment to all the de-
serving applicants this morning, but
as the street departments supply of
shovels and hoes wasalimited, this was
impossible.

The city is planning to place force
of ten or twelve men at work repair
ing sewers. Those men who were Sc
cured for street cleaning will prob
ably have employment for two weeks.
They will work from six to seven

hour.
1t was learned about noon today
that one of the men given employ
ment on the street gang was a prop
erty owner and he was at once di-
vorced from his job. The city will
give employment only to men who de.
serve to be assisted.
Among the men who toiled indus

Hodgin. This basement and barn
cleaning work should be done right
now so the alley cleaners can collect
the refuse and carry it away. 1t is
work that should be done in the in
terests of good sanitation, household
cleanliness and fire prevention. If
every householder would employ
some man now to do this work at his
own home it would be a great help to

the householder because the refuse
