Unskilled laborers OF both sexes ana
those OF the poorer paid skilled labor
elias. have entered into an era OF pros
perity that means the elimination OF
mupicipal or private assistance to meet
the hardships of the coming winter.
This is the opinion of social workers IN
New York City. who have been calico
upon to face the situation resulting
from the business depression caused by
the European War.
William Albert; Whiting, in charge
Of the Municipal Lodging House, upon
whom fell the biggest share OF the bur
den in 1918 and since. and those In
charge of the missions and various
privately supported charities are opti..
nistic as 70 the winter outlook and
expect an absence of the suffering that
caused the overcrowding of the lodging
house and the establishing of 80 many
breadlnes in the winters Of 1918 and
last year.
The number of applicants during De-
tober and up TO date this month, as
we'll az the type Of applicant, is
the basis on which Mr.. Whiting builds
his bright outlook. This time last year
750 people, many of them ordinarily
self-supporting, had applied for assist
ancs at the lodging house. This year
the number is slightly over 400, most
Of whom are of the mentally deficient
or the wont-work-under-an y-circum-
stances classes. 4
The big strain began, Mr.. Whiting
said yesterday, in November, 1918. The
demand for help steadily grew until
the high point was reached in March,
1914, with $3.50 people, in many cases
entire families being cared for nightly.
The March of the previous year, 1913
had brought only 975 applicants to the
city lodging house each day.
Conditions thereafter became worse,
for the daily records Of the lodging
house show that in January, 1915, 1915
men and women sought shelter. Among
the applicants were hundreds Of peo-
pie who went there only because il
was a last resort. The gathering was
made up Of men and women of the self
supporting class, skilled and unskilled
employees, and several professional
men.
These people could not be given a

COLUMBUS. Ohio. July 22.-Relief
for hundreds of persons marooned and
destitute in the Hardin county marsh
lands has been planned by Gov. Willis
and Adjt. Gen. Hough acting in con-
junction with county officers at Ken
ton. Asst. Adjt. Gen. E. S. Bryant, who
visited the wooded district, has reported
that the food supply of those marooned
in the vicinity of kenton was practically
exhausted.
Arrangements have been made to re-
move those in peril and TO send food
to others.
Thousands of acres of marsh lands
in Hardin and Allen counties are de-
voted to raising onions, potatoes and
hemp. Many of the laborers in these
fields are men and boys from the coun-
ties of eastern Kentucky, who come to
Ohio each summer to work in the
onion fields. They constitute a large
part of those marooned by the food.

We're always on the wing Sometimes they
had money and sometimes they had none
1t was precarious existence.
At last they came to Westmore and
narrow. dark building built of concrete
1t had been useless long time. for there
was another and better theater. How
ever, it is the new broom that sweeps
cleanest and the Keevers pictures were
soon drawing crowds.
In a dim corner near the screen Leely
played the old upright piano. She had
strong wrists, and even after eight hours
of ragtime was not too tired to sleep
She never looked at the screen nor the
crowd, for she hated both She hated her
own music She hated the life she lived
But for her dreams she would have died
One night fire broke out in the build
ing next to the Bijou and started panic
There was a rush for the doors. Leely
had seen such things before. Her father
was doing his best to quiet the crowd.
Leely mounted the piano stool and began
to tell those nearest her who were trying
to climb over each others backs that
there was no danger. He was holding
child high over his head. Leely under
stood the anxiety in his face. She
reached out and got the child and set
her upon the piano. Then she stood be
fore her and got her attention from what
was happening.
When the theater was cleared the
man. who had been pushed clear to
the street. came back to Leely. He
was young. with a tired, good, honest
face. I'm much obliged to you,' he
said. II didn't know what to do there
just fora minute. l was afraid shed
get scared or hurt. You see, her moth
er's dead and she's all I've got in the
world I'm a linotyper, and days when
I'm at work Mrs. Culligan comes in and
looks after Elsie. But she has a fam
lily and has to go home nights. I sup
pose it's a poor way to manage, but
I've got a home and l don't like to break
up Nights l take Elsie around with me.
This is the rst time I've ever had her
here, and | don't think l shall ever come
again
There was no occasion for a scare.
Leely said 1.-The fire was all outside.
Some fool started it all by jumping up
and screaming. 1t will probably never
happen again while we're in this place"
Her father came back, gloomy and
sweating IT'S a shame, just when we'd
got this thing started on a paying basis
he groyled. "Whatd you stop playing
for. Leely? Why didn't you go right on
when you saw what was up?"
II got up on the piano bench and talked
to the crowd, father Leely answered
quietly. Then this man gave me his
little girl"
I've been thanking your daughter for
what she did," the man answered. She
seems to be wonderfully clear-headed."
He began to talk to her father. Leely
learned that his name was Theron Dodge,

that he was willing to help them out with

THE EVENING STORY.
THE "M0vIEs" GIRL.
Copyright. 1915. by W. Werner,

Leely Keever never had a home in all
the nineteen years of her life. She had
been born in a hospital, had worried
through her babyhood in a cheap lodging
house. and at two had, gone on the road
with her parents. who were third-rate
actors in stock company. She had a
nurse until she was eight. and then she
was put into school. Vacation times she
spent with friend of her mother, who
ran boarding house Two or three times
a year she saw her parents. Sometimes
she had spending money and good clothes
and sometimes she had no money at all
and her clothes We're very bad.
Through all these ups and down of for
tune Leely trudged her innocent way. She
studied without making remarkable prog
ress. She practiced upon the piano with
out a sign of talent. and she read be-
cause she was a cheap actors daughter.
and the rest she let alone. Nothing stuck
to her, neither friends nor learning nor

came to see the girl she sighed over her
a great deal.
You're just like your Granny WORTH

Leely said nothing. But she wondered
what her Grandmother Worth was like.

FUR TRADE DEMORALIZED.
London, Paris, Petrograd and Leip-
sic Feel Result of War.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
LEIPSIC, Germany, July 9-In COM
mon with London. Paris and Petrograd,
Leipsic has felt the effects of the war
on the fur trade with extraordinary
keenness. The business in this line
is practically at a standstill. and few
if any firms are adding anything to
their already overlarge stocks. In
previous years it has been just at this
time that they have begun to load up.
Some one with access to figures in
other countries than Germany esti
mates that there are now on hand in
the fur concerns in London some
100000 muskrat furs from North
America. 100000 skunk skins, $4,000
Australian epossum skins, $4,000 civet
skins, $4,000 fox skins and 1850 pole
cat skins. London neither can dispose
of this enormous number of pelts nor
can Leipsie avail itself of them.
The heavy loss which the war has
caused the fur trade is indicated by
the fact that the price, last year, for
perfect black fox pelt, $3.50, has
dropped this year to 500
