Appeal for Families of Ma

IN REQUEST FOR AID
Employment List Remains Practi-
tically. Unchanged, and Several
Positions Can Readily Be Filled.

Two more cases that need immediate
relief were announced today by the
Citizens Welfare Association. which
was organized for the purpose Of ex-
tending relief to families of national
guardsmen from the District One Is
that of a woman whose husband Is
helpless and whose son, who formerly
was the support of the family, is in the
guard. The money he receives is not
sufficient to support the family, which
consists. in addition. of several other
children. one of whom. boy of about
sixteen. is an invalid. This family is in
desperate straits and money or other
help is greatly needed
Another case Is that of sick colored
woman who has her mother to support
The son of this woman is in the guard.
but has sent no money home At that
the money he could send would not be
sufficient for the support of the two
women.
The daughter. whose son is in the
guard, carried an insurance policy, but
last May. because of lack Of money, she
to obtain her sick benefit money, and
has been served with a notice of evic-
tion by iser landlord.
More Appeals for Aid.
Both Of these cases are urgent. and the
association appeals to the people Of
Washington to aid. Communications may
be addressed to the association at Room
716, Munsey building. or particulars may
be obtained by calling the headquarters,
Main 21s6.
The employment list. which was in The
Star both yesterday and Thursday, re-
mains practically unchanged. Mrs. Alice
I. Stuart, executive secretary of the as
sociation. stated that she can fill num-
ber of positions, particularly in office
work. The employment list contains more
than forty names and includes charwom-
en-. domestics, office workers, timers and
machinists' helpers and workers in sew
nifty of giving employment to such per-
sons are urged to communicate with the
association. The case of the couple men
toned in yesterdays Star. where the man
is a paralytic, has been taken over by a
Washington woman, who will personally
supervise the work of relief for them.
The Citizens Welfare Association appeals
to others to adopt certain cases.
More Money Needed.
Still more money is needed by the
association to carry on it's work. The
plight of many of the applicants for aid
is desperate and in many cases there is
actual suffering for food. The people
of Washington are responding fairly
we'll to the call for help. but they can
and should do better.
Persons who may wish to adopt spe-
cial cases or who will contribute a
specified sum each month to the asso-
citation may fill out the coupon in to-

tion. The association will hold all
communications confidential and will
furnish an accounting of all money
spent.

Sought Tn Abolish system.

''The federal reserve act seeks to
abolish the scandalous system Of finan-
cial leachery and extortion practiced by
certain banks under the guise of check
collection charges" Mr.. Glass state
ment says. ITO assert that four-fifths
of the state banks derive 80 per cent of
their net income from check collection
charges is to furnish a startling illus
tration of the necessity OF putting an
end to such extortion.
Banks that exist only to get some
thing to which they have no defensible
title are not banks; they are money
sharks, and to put a stop to their eNac-
tions will not hurt any community"
