CHARITY WORKERS

Organization Hard Pressed by De-
mands of War Sufferers.

The relief problem confronting the
Associated Charities is assuming a
more serious aspect every day. and
the heads OF the several activities
conducted for the partial maintenance
living problems, are doing every thing
of those unable to cope with the
in their power to meet the conditions
which the war prices have caused.
Miss Louise o. Bean, district sec
retary, said yesterday that many
families heretofore self-supporting, 2,
were compelled to seek aid since the
abnormal prices and the war had
robbed them Of their means of sup
port.
II was stated by Miss Beail that the
eight district secretaries Of the Asso-
ciated Charities were looking after at
least fifty families each and in many
cases these families were cared for
outright by the organization since the
men had been called into service.
The most serious problem. said
Miss Beall, '1s the caring for de-
serted wives with large families on
their hands. Many of these women
are supplied with coal. and a sufi-
cient sum each week to clothe and
feed the children who, in many cases.
