HOW CHAR|TYS RED
TAPE" SAVED FAMILY
Value and Effectiveness of Centrali-
cation and Cooperative
Effort Is Shown.

Value and effectiveness of charity S
red tape" is interestingly described by
Karl De SchweinitZ in an article writ
ten exclusively for the Survey Press
Service. To bring out most forcibly
how by Capitalization and cooperative
effort. often TRADED against AS red
tape" charity agencies can accomplish
best results. Mr.. De Schweinitz takes
He shows how charity agencies, while
working at cross purposes, drove the
poor family from bad to worse, and
caused the various agencies to lose
faith in it's deservingness. Then he
shows how the family has been led back
to health, employment and a comfort
able home by concentration of effort.
The Survey, for which the article was
prepared, is an organization, the pur-
pose of which Is to investigate the facts
of living and working conditions and
to suggest means for social advance
The article follows:
Case of Dennis Rafferty,.
" Red tape has been the making of
Dennis Rafferty,. Six years ago the lack
of it was almost his ruin.
Toward the close of the panic of 1907
to 1908 misfortunes swooped down upon
the Rafferty, family from all directions
Dennis lost his job and shortly there
after his health. The dampness and
sunlessness of the house into which his
lack of money forced the family to
move did not benefit the health of the
oldest son, who was suffering with
adenoids. Mrs. Rafferty, felt that she
ought to do days work, but there were
Johnnie and Edith under school age
who needed her care.
Then the landlord threatened .evic-
ton. The Raffertys sought charity, and
this is what happened to them in the
a absence of red tape

months rent and promised two more

call and rendered first aid.
The patient was hysterical but not
unconscious, the physician stated, and
she is said to have declared she had
turned on the gas for the purpose of
ending her life. She did not thank
those who saved her life, it is stated,
and declared she would succeed in her
next attempt.
Dr. Kelly was told that Mrs. Haar had
been respondent at times since the
death of her mother which occurred
about two years ago. She was not
taken to the hospital.

Rafferty, is almost well and there Is
position waiting for him. His son will
soon be able because of the training he
has received in electrical work to get
much better job. The Raffertys'
home is a pleasant, wholesome little
house and all things promise well.
This particular kind of red tape
is to be found throughout the United
States in more than 800 cities. where
there are charity organization societies
or associated charities. 1t is variously
known as the social service exchange,

The church, the Sunday school of which
the children attended, said the house
wasn't fit to live in, and pleaded with
the Raffertys to move Immediately. A
relief society got Rafferty, job on the
very day that a dispensary which he
was attending told him that If he
started to work he would surely de-
velop consumption. The day nursery
insisted that Mrs Rafferty, leave her
children with it while she undertook
days work. The relief society urged
her to stay at home and take care of
her children. The dispensary removed
the adenoids from the throat of the
oldest boy, Dennis, jr., and the truant
officer was sent to find him because he
had been absent from school following
the operation.
Worked at Cross Purposes.
"All of the various well meaning
charitable agencies that knew the
Raffertys continued to work at cross
purposes. giving conflicting advice to
the Raffertys. until, at length. the fam
lily was so distraught and bewildered
that 1t finally gave up and refused to
follow anybody's advice. Rafferty, took
the job that had been offered him and
the family got along somehow or other,
always however, going further on the
way toward disaster.
"A little less than year ago Raj
ferty had become a consumptive. Den
mis-. jr.. was jobless young corner
loafer. Johnnie and Edith showed
every symptom of their fathers disease.
The Raffertys' present home was even
more unhealthy than their former one.
Furthermore. church and charity alike
had lost faith in the family
Nevertheless the RaffertyS needed
help more than ever before and Mrs.
Rafferty, again appealed to her church.
Here is where red tape" came in
the red tape" of organized charity
which so many people seem to mis-
understand. 1t got rid of the bung1ing
cross purposes of the we'll meaning
agencies. 1t substituted effective CO.
operation.
This is what happened. The family
was moved to better quarters by a
charitable agency and the church paid
the rent of the new home. The dis
pensary sent Mr., Rafferty, to a sana-
torium. Dennis. jr., received job
from free employment agency.
Through settlement he was enabled
to learn an electrical trade at night.
The two children were sent to tu-
berculosis preventorium by the chill
dren's dispensary. Through a neighbor
Mrs. Rafferty, obtained two days work
week and on these days day nurs-
cry took care of her little son, born
since the time of the fanily's first mis-
fortune.
Fortunes of Family Mending.

to health, work and happiness. Mr..

more difficult for a Latin American to

And Latin American does not like to

to get good translation of the trade
mark and would have meant many dol
lars to the American firm in added
business in South America"
Mr. Wells suggested, too that a trade
mark like "Uneeda'' was of no partic-
ular value in a Latin American coun-
Try. lie said that much of its value
here lay in the fact that it was a play
on words, but that it would have no
such meaning to people that did not

present evils which they meet with in

foot on the end of the string instead
