the city the U. c. washed their hands
of the case. When the wife again
presented herself to their office and
told them she had no food, they re-
feTred the case to her relatives.
Mrs. Eva Roth wasn't specific
enough as to the death of her hus-
band, according to U. c. records. She
was donated 81 for food and some
fuel and sent to the county doctor
for medical attention. That was all.
In another case where the children
of a family desperately needed cloth

gave them clothing to the. value of
a very small amount.
That the United Charity, as de-
clared by The Day Book sometime
ago, furnishes little of the relief, but
refers the cases to other charity
agencies and then takes the credit it
self, was shown by the number. of
cases they turned over to the county
agent and other institutions, the
while their records showed 'supervi-
sion and relief. .
Also, in accord with the statement
of The Day Book some time ago, the
U. c. spent in the last fiscal year the

ing to SI23, 805.35, making their sal
aries and expenses amount to $13 for

Notwithstanding Lies admission of
the enormous amount of money
spent in Tehabilitating families, he
was forced to admit that the U. G.
is constantly receiving an increased
number of appeals, which led Rep.
Curran to question the efficiency of
this rehabilitation" process.
Cases read from therecords of the
U. G. showed that an old woman of
20 had appealed to them for aid, had
been given a little coal but no other
relief, which the U. G.. excused by
saying that the old woman drank.

A mother Of three young children
had been given a couple of dollars re-

the case was dropped, as, according
to Miss Bird, the district superintend-

band had really deserted her, but that
he would eventually return, and they
did not intend to fix up home Tor

SOCCER FOOTBALL
GAINS FAVOR DAILY
Description of the New Winter Sport Being introduced
Here and Notes Relative to Individual PLAYERS
Who Will Oppose the Newport News
Team Again on January IT,

The game of soccer football. which
has recently been introduced In this
cts, IL more widely played the world
over than any other game throughout
Europe. Australia, India. South Africa,
and OF recent years In the Northern
and Middle West States OF this country
II is being played by thousands OF
young men and boys. The laws gov
erning the game are international.
which make II possible for any team
TO visit n foreign country and go on
10 the field without any question or
compromise OF rules.
1t is undoubtedly one OF the cleanest
and NEST strenuous games of ball ever
invented. The laws are framed to con-
serve the sport with a minimum Of
danger TO the players. the serious &C
cidents that occur are very few and
far between.
For the benefit Of those who are not
acquainted with the game and wish to
gain little knowledge. few OF the
most important rules might be an ad-
vantage.
Eleven players constitute team.
consisting OF five forwards. who repre-
sent the attack: three half backs
whose duty Ii is TO support the for
wards and defense; two backs. the de-
tense, and a goalkeeper, tho latter be-
Ing the only player allowed to handle
the ball. A score is made by the ball
being Knocked through the goal In any
manner without the use OF the hands
or arms. After n goal is scored. the
bal lis placed In the centre of the field
and kicked off by the side against
whom the goal was scored. II the ball
is sent over the goal line without pass
ing through the goal by one OF the at
lacking side. free or place kick from
the goal area is awarded the defending
side. If sent over the goal line by n
player on tho defending side. the ball
is placed Mt tho corner flag on the side
1t went over, and free kick allowed
the attacking side. When the ball
passes over tho side lines, the same
thing occurs, except the ball IS thrown
into play at the point where 1t crossed
instead of being kicked. a player Is
not allowed to take up position be-
