HOW TO TREAT THE
 BEGGAR AT YOUR DOOR
Social Service Department By MRS. SIDNEY NJ. ULLMAN

Through the cooperation of the Bir- mingham Public library and the help of the splendid force that are there em- ployed, this department is indebted for many interesting facts gathered from ex- perts all over the country that have put their valuable suggestions into book form and are now accessible to the public at been sent.
 However, a suggestion is often the means of much easier knowledge of the facts than long research into the books themselves, and also introduces us to the hook that would otherwise have gone un- noticed To the question, What shall a man or woman do when a begsar asks for money to buy food or to pay for lodg- ings?" the following paper from the li- bary superintendent, MT Carl Milan, has bee nsent.
 Mir. Milan says:
 What shall man or woman do when a beggar asks for money to buy food or to pay for lodging?
 This is another of the important ques- important not because of the amount of money involved, but because the attitude taken may vitally affect the future life of a man or woman as citi zen-that may be answered at the pub lie library.
 Social workers say that one of the greatest handicaps in their work is the indiscrimnate giving of we'll meaning people. Such giving increases the num- Der of professional beggars and brings harm to many innocent people.
 The worst possible form of beggary," says Mary Conyngton ill How to Help, Manual of Practical Charity 'is found when the woman carries with her a child, often baby, going out by preference in the worst of weather, that the little one s situation may make her appeal irresisti- ble Under such circumstances no one has right either to give or, refusing to give, to let the woman go without an attempt to stop this abuse of the child, Children have valid claim for protec- ton, and if their own parents wrong them it is the imperative duty of anyone witnessing the wrong to take such steps as may be possible to stop it.
 Whether or not a child is involved" :" continues Miss Conyngton, the only right way of dealing with such applicants is to secure the name and address with the purpose of having them visited Cby the

neVolent association entertained at bridge. The club was beautifully dec- orated with roses and hyacinths for the occasion, and about 100 fashionably goWned matrons and girls gathered to enjoy the games. Exquisite pieces of pand-painted china, silver and hand work were awarded as prizes and aft CT the series hot chocolate, cake and bonbons were enjoyed
 Mrs Joseph Beitman was the chair man 10 whose efforts much of the success of this enjoyable affair was due and the officers of the association are Mrs. Morris Adler, president Mrs. E. H. Levy, vice president, and Mrs. Louis SakS. secretary and treaSurer.

Associated Charities or other similar or ganization). and help obtained. if they are found to be really in need''
 In general, this is the attitude that should be taken toward all beggars, ac- cording to the authors of books on so- cial questions. One should not give money; neither should all help be re- fused The beggar should be sent with a signed note to a charitable society with without a statement that the sender is willing to contribute toward paying the necessary expense, or the aedress should be taken and the charit- able institution asked to investigate.
 When such a plan is not feasible, the experts recommend the work test woman living near railroad shop in Bir- mingham was in the habit of giving food to all beggars, and she had two or three almost every day. One day she re- marked casually, as she handed out lunch, that she was going to get a load of wood and let the next man earn his dinner. From that day to this she has not had single beggar. so she reports.
 The library has furnished, al the re- quest of the school service department a list of books that deal with this and related subjects. The editor hopes they will be used to the end that all people the problems of relief and social serv- ice.
 The Field of Social Service, by Philip Davis is addressed primarily to volunteer social workers. It aims to cover a very wide field and to give such information as will enable the enthusiastic volunteer to be a help, rather than a hindrance, to the general social service activities of the city.
 Modern Methods of Charity" by c. R. Henderson describes the systems of re- lief. public and private, in all countries including the United States. that use modern methods Social Programmes In the Vest is a series of lectures by the same author on various phases of the social questions,
 'Vagabond Journey Around the World, '" by Franclle is said to be one of the most readable books in the library. It is not primarily a work on social service, but a book of travel Yet it throws some light on many interesting questions, par ticularly the tramp problem.
 The library has perhaps 20 or 90 books on these subjects. Those named are typical. All social questions are we'll covered, also, by articles in the Survey" and other periodicals, and by a large number of pamphlets.
