Pierre's S Ada Happy;
Readers Of Tribune
Rush to Help Her
Soldiers Insurance and Wife s
Rent Paid; She Gets a
Boarder and a Job

Pierre would be happy to-day II he
knew what good luck has befalsen his
little brood. For readers OF The Trlb-
une have come gsllantly TO his wlfe's
rescue, and now, with her insurance and
three months rent paid, new boarder
and good job, Ada is again facing the
world with smile.
On July 9 The Tribune told the story
of Sergeant Pierre. the young French
man who failed to go when France first
called her men, but who felt the call so
strongly, however, that he later enlist
cd in Pershing's army, although he had
to leave a wife and three small chill
dren behind him.
At II o'clock on the morning that
Pierres story was published the civil
ian relief committee of the American
Red Cross got on the job. Miss Edna
]. Wakefield, secretary of the commit
tee. telephoned The Tribune, learned
that the insurance had TO be. paid
within three days in order to be ef'
fectivc, promptly investigated the case
and the next day paid the amount due
on Pierre's $1,000 insurance policy
Two days later she paid the first
months rent to Ada's landlord.
The civilian relief committee for
Manhattan and The Bronx IS a commit
tee of the American Red Cross, whose
purpose il is TO relieve in various ways
the dependents of men serving the Fed
eral government in time of war II is
one of many such committees all over
the country who are charged with the
duty of safeguarding the homes OF men
called 70 the colors.
In letter TO soldiers and sailors
Mrs. John NJ. Glenn, chairman of the
Manhattan and Bronx committees, says
to the men: "If your people at home
encounter any difficulties advise them
to get in touch with this office. We
have corps of people picked for their
good sense and good judgment to heln
solve any vexing family problem which
may arise; able lawyers who will give
legal advice, experienced physicians
who will give medical attention and
business men who will help settle ques'
tions relating TO insurance or real OF
personal property"
In the case of Pierre and Ada the
committee did help solve "vexing fam
lily problem" and when Ads's landlord
found himself with one months rent in
his pocket he, too, got busy and had
her walls and floors cleaned for her.
Ada then hung up fresh curtains, and
into the tidy, bright little room she in
vited a boarder, who came, saw and
unpacked.
A Tribune reader gave Ada a half
time position at housework, and
through the generosity Of other read
ers her back rent has been paid, leay-
ing her So 10 the good.
Ada Is indebted to the following people
for her new lease on life: Lee de For
est, New York. $40; F. P. Duryea, New
York, $40; G. W. Lawrence, Newark,
SO; "A Friend" $40, and Caroline B.
Davis, Ogunquit, Me-, 81.

S12O Will Keep Mother and
Little Ones from Want

II was bleak world that Frank B
saw when he first opened his eyes our
months before his father had disap,,
neared. His mother was exhausted
from trying to support his two little
sisters and his old grandmother. :,
Their pinched faces showed reilel
when the Charity Organization Society
secured rest for the mother, food ana
aid in starting "a search for the father.
He now finds something to smile over
occasionally. But in these days OF
bicb prices it is impossible for the
mother mott to earn enough for shelter, food
and clothes for herself, the three un-
dorfed children and the grandmother.
She does all she can, but there rs Il
wide gap between her earnings ana the
necessities, which means real sunering'
unless it is filled in. .u.,.
The society has been filling tbs his gap gap
for many months and now asks Sl2O for
them. Contributions sent to the So,
