GIRL, OUT OF WORK, TRIES TO
DIE-TELLS STORY
The story of a good girl out of
work is the story of Mary Miller,
aged IT,. Mary went through the ex-
perience of living on 50 for three
weeks and never forgetting her dead
mothers advice to keep on the
straight path"
Mary's case came to the attention
of the police after she had starved for
two days. Then she tried suicide by
the gas route in her boarding house
at 1145 w. Jackson blvd. They turn
ed her over to DR.. Jean T. thinner
man of the Chicago Woman's Shelter,
112 S. Morgan st. There she told her
story.
It was only story that other girls
might tell in these days of unemploy-
ment. It would be a good story for
the heads of big corporations who
are discharging girls by the whole
sale, to read:

Many OF US are plenty old enough to
remember the big open fireplace, the
enormous amount OF wood II required
TO keep II going. how the cord sticks
had to be dug out OF the ice and snow.
how Il was a struggle to get the big
back log In place. how every morning
the fire had to be started over again.

OF the bleak days the rooms OF the

courage or the insistent commands
of the head OF the house to get up
TO make that fire. But this Is not
all. It will be remembered also that
In real weather the fire from the open

that the bees are raising a number Of
