are suffering through no fault OF their

How much will you do?" How
like the letter with the purple
splashes, wherein the girl told the
very young boy that her parents were
forcing her to marry wealthy man
and would he please be generous and
release her from. her engagement,
even though she knew it would break
his heart.
How much will you do? l know
what you would do if distress came
to your attention. No matter how
small your salary might be nor how
many demands might be made upon
it, you would sacrifice yourself and
your loved ones to respond to such an
appeal for assistance?
Then, why is it that, considering all
the wealth represented by the men
who are directors of the United Char
tiles, including the many millions of
Julius Rosenwald, someone does not
reach into that almost limitless fund
for the sum that would never be miss
ed and yet would relieve the distress
that seems to weigh heavily upon the
U. c.?
Why don't some of the high-sala-
ried officers of the U. c. who are
financially well able to do so, give a
portion of their time gratis that the
expenses of organized charity may be
reduced and the relief fund in
creased?
am afraid they appeal to you for
the same reason that the girl appeal
ed to the boy. They want to keep
what they have and the generosity
must come from others.
For both letters have the purple
splashes and they were not made
