the spring with high hopes to offset the extreme prices of foods. Some have f1ourished and will add to the
 winters store, but sad are also the 1 tales of the Ibushels of lost potatoes despite the "bugging contests" and
 hard work of the mother and young sters
 How we are looking forward within the next few years to the improvement of our New Britain babies. The Charity Organization has already sent many 3 mother and her small baby to the
 Milk station for advice and training
 regarding the proper care of herself and the feeding of the baby. By means of the newly opened diagnostic clinic under the auspices of the Board of Health, men, women and children are thoroughly examined, and special treatment recommended whenever necessary. Several of the Charity
 Organization families have already
 paid a visit there and when additional medicine, treatment, or specialists opinion were necessary and the family unable to supply the same, we have gladly filled the need.
 Dental Condition Remedied.
 Over and again there is great need
 of dental treatment Because of the expense of such treatment the Charity Organization can only occasionally have corrective work done, generally along the line of some sudden emer- gency. A very few times the society has supplied a mother with artificial teeth and have been greatly gratified to see her general health improve. New Britain, with it's many hundreds of school children, many from families wholly unable to go to any great ex- pense of dental work has come to a point where it needs a dental clinic. Already some of the local dentists, al- though unusually busy just now with the draft men have promised certain periods of time regularly should this city see fit to establish a dental clinic Every social worker recognizes the great need and all are willing to CO., operate.
 One of the welfare workers has offered the use of her rooms which can be used at least temporarily until the time comes when some permanent arrangement can be made by the city. Even with the splendid work of the diagnOstic clinic and the advice and directions given by the school phy- sician and nurse, there is much re- mains to be done in the way of follow up work. Many a family, unless under special supervision and con- stant pushing, never gets to the point to have the actual work done, gener- ally because of the additional expense to the family. Hundreds of draft men have proved under recent exami- nation that had they gone through

office for aid, clothing, advice and work or to talk over family matters to the number of 337. 181 persons called to consult us on various sub jects or offer their suggestions or show interest in the work. Despite the fact that the acting agent and her assistant have each been out of town for two weeks $50 visits to various families were made during these three months as well as 40 on busi- ness only. Ten hours of volunteer office work aided the regular workers. Our treasurer paid bills for the last three months amounting to $175.34 and $16792 was expended from the special relief funds. We were able to organize aid outside of the Charity Organization funds estimated at $77.61 making 8 total amount of relief for June, July and ugust of $446.71.

 the necessary preventive work dur ing their youth, there would have been no reason for repeated rejections when they became men. For the sake of the welfare of our New Britain children, let's all do what we can. Other Agencies Cooperate. The mothers in need of additional income have been instructed regard and the Charity Organization has
 offered it's services to the Chamber of Commerce and Day Nursery commit tee, to make all necessary investiga- tons of families and conditions. We have been very glad to be able to aid the welfare work of our city this summer by lending an occasional helping hand with our runabout Often a combination of calls in one section of the city far out or where one waits half hours for passing cars, has accomplished much good in
 short time, at little added expense. Often during the hot days, weary
 mothers were hustled home, heavy
 babies and big sister or brOhter had q ride, en route to a physician or den- tist, and many are the journeys we can take via our Ford to gather up clothing offered. Our cupbOards are bare of all delicacies just now and we hope there will be a little jelly or marmalade for the children's bread and to tempt our sick friends. Just notify us and we will willingly save you any transportation.
 With the bathing pool where hun dreds of various sized paddlers en- joyed themselves daily, with the addi- t; various parks, we considered it un- necessary to plan for any general picnics or trips for any group. New Britain is blessed with sunshine and fresh air in most of it's living quarters and with always a bit of green grass within walking distance of every home.
 From these homes 91 persons were dealt with during August, TT of whom were continued and 15 families new. For the three months of June, July and August of this year, the new cases numbering 50, are less than in 1917 when there were 82 for the same three months. However, the older families still continued, numbering 239 this summer and 1S8 last year. We have come in contact with 2S8 situations needing some special atten- tion this summer, whereas in 1917 there were 270.
 Throughout our city, applications have come during June, July and August for services of various kinds from 71 public officials, from A pri- vate societies, from POI individuals, from schools and there were 20 re- quests from other cities than our own. Applicants themselves called at the |,

WORK 0R FIGHT IS
 KEEPING VAGS BUSY
Fewer Migrants and Much Less
 Real Poverty in City

Tn the quarterly report of the New Britain Charity Organization presented to the electors last evening by acting Agent Cora Beale, 1t was stated that as the result of the work or fight law there are fewer cases of vagrancy in the city and a corespondingly few cases of actual poverty. General eco- nomical conditions have also been ma terially helped by the work furnished children in the factories and homes during the summer months, and by the financial assistance received from the little backyard gardens. Miss Beale's report is as follows:
 Less Real Poverty Here
 "Work or fight" With the alterna- tive of only one place left for idle men, a noticeable decrease has appered among the vagrants. One man acquir- ed a family but retained his Weakwill- ed habit of shifting about from job to job. Having gone to a town a hun dred miles away to find more lucrative place and failing after several days to do so, he consumed still more time walking home. His wife, tired of waiting and in need, returned with her small baby to relatives in a nearby state. Considerably shaken by this surprise awaiting him, footsore and weary, the husband was cared for by the Charity Organization, placed on a train and sent to join his family. The compulsory work law was in force in that state and our weary friend knew he could be idle but limited time un- molested. To reunite the family, to force the man to work, was we'll worth the car fare expended. Only eight va grants have applied to the Charity Organization during June, July and August of ths year against eleven for 1917 and seventeen for 1916.
 Many were the children asking for Vacation work, most of them too small in stature to fill the much needed posi- tions of housekeepers and maids. Sev- eral found work at the factories, the income derived from even their short hour days, proving a great help to the family. Noticeable indeed is the lack of requests for school shoes to start the fall term.
 Many were the gardens planted in

 The boy raised himself painfully on his elbow and reached for the cup-then he motioned 1t away

 "Nix. Hospitals for those fellows that's hurt. just got busted pin. You fix me here and leave me here .-... When you git chance"
 Somewhere, some time, they had all gotten this thing. It had come to them out of the flame and crash of battle; it had been carried to them on clouds of soaring. noxious gas; 1t had awakened in them through suffering and through the sight of suffering. They were the same. yet they were not the same. They were not gentle, yet one fancied he could detect 8 gentle ness in their voices. But out Of the battle and the suffering, some thing better than they had ever known came to them. There was utter ignoring of self, and 1t was a thing wonderful to witness.

 'tI got mine. No use-sport- Can't do-nothtn' for-me- Git busy with some of them boys-you kin-help."
 That was the spirit. That was the thing that had been burned into their souls by the hot breath of war. They had forgotten them selves. Jim was not thinking o1 Jim but of Mike. Mike was not thinking of Mike but of Jack. Each passed 1t on.
 The dressing station was small and many must lie outside until the men who were taken in first could be evacuated. You heard groans, but amid the groans you heard cheery, gritty, words. "Oow, that damn leg ... .How's Charlie maxim itf Any body knowf I seen him git H.

The story goes farther and says they not only stopped the rush but caused & movement in the other direction It was not an affair of hours but of days, days of constant, bitter, hand to-hand fighting with horrors added by the Hun that no American soldier has ever been called upon to face. But they had damned the hood; had even swept 1t back for a little, and they were proud
 SPIRIT OF ALTRUlsM
 But their achievement on the field was not the great thing that came into view in those days- It was the spirit that famed up in their hearts not merely a spirit of courage, of daring, of heroism against odds, but 8 spirit of altrutsm, of love for the other fellow. Somewhere in that holocaust those hard-boi1ed boys had gotten it, and the manifesto ttons of it that night in the little courtyard before the dressing sta- ton, made the spot one never to be forgotten by those who witnessed if.
 A hurry call was sent to the distant Y M q A.

 tain division now famous throughout France and one day to be famous throughout the world. They were not coming back because they wanted to, nor because they had had enough of it; they were being brought on stretchers, wounded, gassed, shell-shocked, to an advanced dressing station. Some of them seemed just boys. One could see them grit their teeth to hold back the moan of pain.
 Hard luck, Pal?" said a doctor interrogatively. as the bearers set down a stretcher in the courtyard.
 The boy shrugged his shoulders, actually shrugged them as well as he could, bundled up in that stretch CT, and grinned wanly.

 ''Nix. bo, not me. I'm gettiu' past s1l right, nothin' but my foot You jest femme be here and git busy with them guys that's hurt I'm on the waitin' list"
 STILL HARp-1oILED, BuT-.
 That was one boy. He belonged % an outfit that bears 8 name far and wide for being boiled hard. Tough birds, you hear them called, rough talking boys with the crust outermost. If you had seen them a month before or two months be" fore when they had not had their purifying in blood and ire, you would not have prophesied that they would hold back in suffering to wait for one in greater suffering to be cared for first. It was an attribute that was not apparent to the casual eye. Hard-botled, you would have agreed, and you might have felt a trifie sorry for the enemy that had to encounter them. But you would have stood by with tears in your eyes-not in your eyes but rolling down your cheeks-and nave muttered acafn and again, Here are men!"
 But now they had felt the scorching breath of war. Suddenly they had been dropped into the fur mace and had come out with dross burned away. Something had happened. They were still hard boiled. Their language was made np of the same words. but the words

the hand grew limp and Hffefess Au his own, and then he moved away to other errands, for it was a naghk demanding much of men.
 The courage of the bGttlefle3@ seems to be 8 comvuon commodity: but the courage to bear pain without finching: to realize the approach of death without crying out; to reach 8 moment when you know you must face life maimed, without arm, leg, eye-and not to curSe with black rage or cry out with despair-that is another kind of courage. But 1t was there. Not ons man had it, but 1t seemed as if all those wounded had ft-it was not the gameness of the bulldog.
