YOUTH WANTS POSITION
TO PROVIDE FOR FAMILY
Would Take Place as Breadwinner
of Brother Called to Colors.
One of Three Cases.

The Citizens Welfare Association to-
day directed attention to three special
cases where relief is needed for depend-
ents Of District national guardsmen.
The first was that of a youth of six
teen, who. since his older brother, support
of family which consists of the mother
and six more children. went away with
the national guardsmen, has become the
provider His case has been mentioned
before, but no response has been received.
The boy Is willing to do any sort of
work that does not require special train
ing or experience. Any person who can
with the Citizens Welfare Association,
716 Munsey building, or may call Main
21S6 on the phone.
Another case is that of an unmarried
woman of sixty years. who has been sup
from childhood. The calling out of the
guard. of which he was member, has
plunged her into poverty. Although he
has sent her as much money as he posi-
bly, could. it has been insufficient. Money
for food and clothing is needed.
The third case is that of a colored
woman with two children. aged two
years and four months, respectively.
The mother Is unable to leave the baby.
which is i'll. Money for food and for
milk for the baby is needed. The rent
for this family has been paid up to
date. The husband has as yet sent no
money home.
General appeals for shoes and cloth
ing are coming in to the association.
In some cases the distress is acute. In
addition, fuel soon will be needed and
other expenses accompanying cold
weather will begin to come in.
According to Mrs. Alice /. Stuart, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Citizens We'll
fare Association, appeals for aid have
come in from dependents of guardsmen
in the Maryland and Virginia militia.
These cases are referred to the relief
associations in those states. Where ap-
peals from such dependents living in
Washington are received the local as
sociation extends relief and the respec-
tive state associations pay the bills.
The general committee of the asso-
citation will meet in room 716, Munsey
building, Thursday at noon.
