Report Of United Charities For May
Shows Increased Number of
Applications Handled
In Office.
CAMPAIGN RESPONSIBLE
Citizens Are Being Educated to Send
ing Beggars to Office Instead
Of Giving Promlscuous
Aid.

The monthly meeting OF the direc-
tors of the United Charities was held
yesterday afternoon In the Y. w. g. A.
building. In his report to the direc-
tors, D. A. Glascoff, general secretary.
showed that more applications had
been handled by the office than in the
previous month. Part Of the increase
was due, 1t was said, to the growing
tendency Of local people to send their
cases to the association for
aid.
Following is the report made by the
secretary:
There were more applicants COM
ing under the care Of the United
Charities during May than April.
This is due in part to the fact that
many OF our citizens are sending the
house to house beggar to our Offices.
During the month there were sixteen
of these men of passage sent and ar
rived at the office. Many OF them were
really endeavoring to work their way
to the harvest fields while others
were simply moving on. During the
month there we're sixty.seven calls
mad upon the organization. Twenty
eight came from private individuals,
eighteen we're from men and W men
wanting work only, business firms re.
ported five, church organizations and
societies, three; school teachers and
officials, three. The needy came in
their own behalf eight times There
was one call from out Of town and
one from relative.
There were forty-"ne families Zone
colored) this month, numbering sew
enty-nine individuals Of whom twenty
one vera under fourteen years Of age.
Maritially they would be tabulated as
follows. Eleven married couples, two
widows, four widowers, eighteen tran
cient men, one each Of the following:
unmarried couple, single woman,
single man resident and three un-
known.
Material aid was secured from the
following sources twenty-five times:
Applicants relatives, three; friends
and employers, three; United Chari
ties, five; private individuals, five.
One bill o. KID and one family re-
ferred to superintendent Of the poor
for action. Physicians and medicine
secured for two. We were able to be
instrumental in placing one man in a
permanent position and four others In
tenn porary jobs. Legal aid was Sc
cured for one family.
There were seventy.four visits made
to or in behalf of the needy, ninety
telephone calls and fifteen letters
