the Tribune is under caption, "Women
Released BY Examination
In more recent issue of the Trib-
une, November z. under caption,
"Woman Found Nearly Frozen In
Barrel" is the story that the Ross
Construction company removed pile
of barrels and boxes from near the
Union station that morning to a yard
in East Des Moines. In the job lot
was a sugar barrel. When the work
men were half way to their destina-
ton they heard groan. 1t came
from the sugar barrel. Investigation
revealed Negress probably 35 years
old. She was half frozen and ill from
exposure. She managed to tell the
workmen that some time that night
before she had crawled into that bar
rel to sleep. City physicians removed
her to the Methodist hospital" Here
are but two cases of the many that
can be produced to show the woeful
need Of some recognized authentic
agency for the protection of strange
colored women before leaving their
former homes, to get them in touch
with Thompson's Hotel. The Home
Makers League, The Protection Home
and the organization of Soldiers
Wives, in charge of Mrs. S. Joe
Brown, are all recent agencies among
our people in Des Moines to look after
the well being of strangers and all
doing commendable work, yet none Of
them of adequate equipment to en-
tirely take care of the masses now
needing assistance along that line.
A very active part of THE YOUNG
WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN INDUS
TRIAL MISSIONS work, as planned,
will be to try to find suitable private
homes for worthy strange women Of
the race to stay in, and perhaps to
furnish competent help to reliable
families. In interest Of this Mission
I have for the past few months been
over the state on self-appointed
commission to endeavor to- promote
the cause.
AS a result, am gratified to report
hearty cooperation in a number Of
cities and towns in the state on part
of white and colored friends who will
act as advisory board members and
lookout committees, for the work in
their respective communities. feel
myself honored at the personnel Of
those who have 50 readily consented
to assist by engaging with me on a
State Board for the work.
The next issue of our journal, ssThe
Baptist Missionary" which we are at
the present time using as an organ in
the development of the work of the
Mission, will contain list Of the
names of the friends whom by their
manifest genuine interest we shall
ask to be our advisers and counselors
in the conduct of the work.
Beginning the Mission in the little
store front building at % North

intention was to make the institution

scene.
Among the number Of women who
have come and are coming are many
true and noble, who love and follow
what is good and as strangers in a
strange part of the country desire
that trend.
To mediate in helping them to
reach the particular group of our peo-
pie in each city and town where they
may locate, who stand for the Cup

ject of the Mission herein set forth.
All who have been South can appre-

While some of our colored women Of

THE HOUSEHOLD FUEL
COAL SITUATION

At a recent meeting Of the fuel
conservation bureau Of New England
the federal fuel administrator plain
ly stated that there was a serious
shortage Of anthracite coal OF the
sizes adapted to domestic use. There
seems to be little reason for think
ing that those who have received the
two thirds Of their usual supply will
have any more at any time during the
winter or the spring. Acute as the
household fuel coal situation was last
year, it bids fair to be still worse this
winter.
The State fuel food committee for
Maine made vigorous campaign for
wood cutting last winter With the re-
suit that more than double the usual
amount Of fire wood was cut. Some
towns have arranged for wood yards
and contracted for wood that is avail.
able for their citizens.
1t is earnestly urged that house
holders refrain from using hard coal
during the comparatively mild wealth
err Of the late fall and early winter:
that wood be used as fuel for cook
ing: that starting fires in house fur
naces be delayed as long as safety
to health will permit; and that when
the fires are started in house heat
ers that wood be used for the fuel
until severe weather comes on. II
the coal now on hand is burned in
the warmef months OF fall and win
ter. there Is likely to be great suf-
fering in the cold month Of Febru-
airy and the trying weather that
March usually brings.
