FAMILIES NEED
medical HELP
Only Few Relatives of D. c.
Cuardsmen Ask Finan-
cial Aid.

Fifteen new applications for relief for
needy families Of the District Guardsmen
were considered by the investigating
committee Of the Citizens Welfare AS
eociadon at yesterdays session. This
makes total Of about eighty cases that
have been brought to the attention of the
association since it's organization. Less
than one-half of the applications received
are found to be in need of financial help.
A large number ask medical help or ad-
vice and many ask for employment
When a family is found to be in need
of medical assistance II is Immediately
reported to one of the large number of
doctors that have volunteered to handle
any cases that may be turned over to
them, even to the extent of performing
operations.
The Investigations that are made in
each case are revealing some interesting
and pathetic situations. One colored
woman. who had applied for aid, when
asked what her income was stated that
she made about 50 each week by doing
washing and odd jobs. When the differ
ent amounts received each week were
itemized they totaled more than twice
that amount. After going over the fg-
ures several times she exclaimed. "Eordy
me! What did I do with all dat money
cherry week"
The association yesterday made an ap-
peal for the use OF automobiles for the
investigators. as much valuable time is
lost in walking to car lines and waiting
on cars.

IN NEW ENGLAND
MILLS RUN FULL
Electric Concerns Planning for
New improvements.


Boston, Dec. 3l-Boston enters the
new year with the brightest financial
and business outlook that has been evi-
dent for some time. Stories Of hard
times have become go scarce that they
are novelties. and on all sides smiles
and happy looks are indications OF the
feeling of optimism that rs generally
prevalent.
Massachusetts electric companies have
been making good returns for the last
few months, and comprehensive plans
for improvement show they expect good
earnings TO continue. The New Eng
land railroads are giving promise OF
coming through" in good order, the
New Haven getting more freight than
it can handle.
Boston's industrial issues have felt
the rising tide Of prosperity.
As for Boston business, II has not
given better promise Of improvement
in the memory of many OF the older
men IN the city. The shoe shops, and
il ia their employees who spend consld-
cradle money In Boston, are running
on full time, and IN some cases over
time. Mills near by are giving their
operatives more than they can handle,
and every line Of industry is at high
water mark.
Money, which in every instance is the
ruling power in both business and
financial circles, IS still more than
abundant, even after year Of remark
able recovery. and with a Federal Re-
serve Bank in Boston this condition
bids fair 10 continue.
OF course, it may be said that much
Of this business is due 70 the war pri-
marily. but, whatever its cause, pros
perity has made its debut In Boston,
and It gives every indication that it has
come TO stay.
