IS GET "ODD JOBS"
. THROUGH CHARITIES
Washington Housewives Quick
to Respond to Call for Work
For Jobless.

Thirty-six men and women OF the
lib, whose names comprised the. first
''odd job" list OF the Associated Chari-
tres. have already obtained at least tenn
porary employment in washington
homes.
This is how the people Of Washing
ton have answered the call for work:
One housewife has applied for a man
to re-enamel her beds.
Another wishes some table leaves
made.
"A third wished to send out some pos
tai cards for a meeting of an organiza-
tion to which she belongs.
A fourth telephoned that she "fclt
tifed.' and would like some man to
come and do her morning sweeping for
few days. ... .,.. -. 49,.
A fifth wished to get in touch with a
woman who would do mending, and will
ing to pay the regular s. a day price
for this service.
Perhaps the largest "odd job for
which men have been requested is one
which includes the transfer Of 10000
bricks from the spot they are stacked
on to one 100 feet away, and the saving
and splitting Of fifty cords Of wood.
An exceptional opportunity for a dss-
titute family to place themselves on a
paying basis is one offered by a Wash
ington woman who. conducts a students .
rcoming house. She has written to the
Associated Charities that in the rear Of
her home is q small, comfortable house,
which she is willing to let in exchange
Tor having her personal laundry done,
with the assurance that she viii recon-
mend the tenant to the students who
room with her, so that the tenant may
make some money from additional laun-
dry work. ..
These are perhaps the most typical
of the many odd jobs" which have
connected with men who really need
them through the medium Of the As
ISOLATED Charities list.
The officer who has charge Of this
work, declared today that the list has
been extraordinarily successful.
''Of course, it has stimulated the ap-
plications from men and women out
OF work, and today the list is much
larger than It was: but IL work can
