ISOLATION in her knowledge that bust

if there were not a substantial in
crease in the amount Of help those
widows receive to exc out the few
days work they are able to do in
addition to caring properly for their
children, their families would be on
the verge Of starvation This is
especially true when illness comes
upon poor widow already sorely
, over burdened.
These types of needy families are
the only ones aside from the many
stranded people and those needing
emergency aid with whom we must
concern ourselves at present. Cir
cumstances are such that when these
families really are without resources
they need far more generous aid
than they would have required in the
past. According to Mr.. Redfleld, sec
rotary of commerce, the cost Of liv-
ing has increased 35 per cent. during
1916 and naturally it is the small
wage earners and the many families
living just on the border line Of indie
pendence or already in need of some
assistance, who suffer the most

In looking over our lists of those
whom we have regularly aided or

past weeks, we find that without ex-
ception the families are fatherless or
the wage-earners in each instance
are i'll at home or under treatment
in insane asylum or sanitarium.
Even with this proof it surprises
some people that with industrial con-
ditions so favorable we need to give

Our figures show five more new
cases in October 1916 than in October
1915, and we attribute this increase
largely to the fact that a year ago
while there was already plenty of
work for everyone, living expenses
were not SO high. Moreover with
the extra pull of illness some of our

Charity Organization Sees Food
Prices Affecting the Poor

. At the monthly meeting of the di-
rectora of the Charity Organization
held last evening a very pleasing re-
port was read by the agent, Miss Elsie
c. Osborn. October of this year
shows that there were five more cases
than year ago at this time due to
the fact that while there was plenty
of Work at that time living expenses
were not SO high. Some of the older
families have suffered by sickness
and have needed help to tide them
over. The organization was in touch
with SO families during the month,
p of them being new. and expended
$16278 for relief
The report Of the agent follows:
To the Directors of the New Britain
Charity Organization:
zone mans meat is another mans
poison" goes the old saying. And
one mans prosperity sometimes
means another mans downfall, we
find here in the Charity Organiza-

increased revenue to many and send
the prices soaring, react in greater
hardships on those unable for one
reason or another to take advantage
of The times.
If a man Is Ill and unable to work
for long period, it makes little
difference to his hungry children
that his labor would now command
higher wages than ever before. 1t
is only the higher prices of food that
concern them. If a husband is in
jail for a period it is small comfort
to his wife to know that he might
bring home well filled pay envelopes
these days if he would only work in
stead of getting into mischief She
is chiefly concerned in providing for
her family with the prevailing high
prices. If a man or woman is old
and alone in the world it is useless
to reflect that wages are higher than
they used to be, SO long as 1t is only

fects them. And if a woman is left

ROCKIES MAY SHOW
STUNTS ON NAVY DAY
Girls Who Trained at Chevy
Chase Likely to Take Part in
Big Event at League Island

Feminine rockies who recently re-
turned from the military camp at Chevy
Chase, Md, are planning to spring a sur
prise at the fourth annual navy day celebra-
tion June II, by giving demonstration in
the Philadelphia Navy Yard Immediately
after the regular sham battle
Official announcement of the women's
plans has not been made yet, but is ex.
pected late this afternoon, following a meet.
ing of the Womens Section Of the Navy
League in the United States Naval Home,
Gray's Ferry road and Fitzwater street.
All of the young women who attended
the preparedness camp at the Chevy Chase
National Service School, and who are
therefore Veterans" have been asked to
attend the meeting this afternoon and de-
eide whether they will participate in the
demonstration tomorrow in the Navy Yard.
The young women armed with their Red
Cross certificates and wearing scars of
battle inflicted during their fortnight's
struggle with wigwagging and heliography
under the pitless fire of Old King Sol, will
descend on the navy yard in a body i'm
mediately after the sham battle.
There they will demonstrate their ability
in bandaging the heads of the wounded
and putting their arms and legs in spllnts.
Further the one-time "rookies" are plan
ming to give an exhibition drill with one
of their captains in command.
Although there are many other events of
special interest scheduled for June II, the
national tennis tournament, the Fete des
Fleurs.. at Rosemont and so on. it is believed
that most of the women who trained at the
preparedness camp will report to their
country's call" to them, and take part in
the demonstration.

REPUBLICANS


We believe in and will enforce the
protection of every American citizen
in all rights secured to him by the
Constitution, treaties and the laws of
nations at home and abroad.
We desire peace, the peace of JUS
tice and right, and believe in maintain
ing a straight and honest neutrality
between the belligerents in the great
war in Europe. We favor the estab-
lishment of world court.
The country must have not only an
adequate but thorough and complete
national defense ready for any emer-
gency. We must have an effective
regular army, ample reserves, drilled
and disciplined.
We must have navy so strong and
so we'll proportioned and equipped
that no enemy can gain command of
the seas and effect a landing on our
east or west coast.
