it is expected that more definite
understanding OF the policy OF the
work and It's future activities will be
arrived at
The fact that SO many of the prom
inent women OF this city have lately
taken an interest in this well-estab'
-lished work. is very gratifying 10 the
workers For n>Arly 20 years the
work has been carried on in Detroit
without very much encouragement
being given by the women OF the city,
although one reason for this was that
there was no well-defined plan upon
which they could work with the of
ficers.
The organization of the Woman's
auxiliary during the past year and its
rapid growth indicates how quickly
the women OF Detroit will get behind
any worthy movement for the better
ment OF the unfortunate. The Friday
reception will enable the women TO
come into closer relations with the
Salvation Army Rescue home and see
for themselves the workings OF the
place.
A feature OF the work carried on
for women in this institution is the
manner they are followed up after
they are discharged from the home,
and this feature alone has enabled
many a wayward girl to keep going

has friends and helping hand near

the north started for his new place
in the middle of January. Texas was
balmy when he left, but he stepped
off the steam-heated train at his des-

blizzard in Is years. In his cotton
shirt and ragged overalls the new ar
rival staggered along for perhaps a
hundred yards, then stiffened like a

There. according to Arbuckle, a 20
liceman found him some time later
and. with the aid OF two hardy citi-
Zens, carried the body To the morgue
where the coroner diagnosed the case
as one OF death by exposure: and,
since the earth was frozen so hard
that burials were impossible, the un-
known was sent TO the crematory.
On arrival there an attendant slid
the body into the white-hot interior OF
the receptacle and went off TO bed
Next morning another body was
brought 10 him. AS he opened the
steel door of the crematory and drew
back from the gush OF terrific heat
that shot out into his face. a com.
