the county to give whatever help it can, if such people are ill they can ue placed in the county hospital, or it might be a case where such peo- pie would have to be placed in the county home permanently.
 'If mother has bebn left a wid- | ow, with children under sixteen years of age, and is entitled to the Widows Pension under the existing child welfare law. we endeavor tC see that she obtains help from this source, while other families who may not be entitled to help from any of these sources will manage very we'll with the aid we give them in clothing, to enable their children to attend school Most of the clothing given out by us has been to the un- fortunate families. where the moth CTS have been left widows, or have been de1erted by their husbands. Desertions are quite prevalent among the Mexicans, but whenever it is pos sible to do so we try to locate these husbands and compel them to sup port their families.
 We also try to secure work for those who are out of employment, but usually we find that those who are physically abse and willing to work do not need to come to us for work. Most of the employment fur nished by us has been for women and girls.
 Red Cross Lends Hand
 As in former years, much of thu aid given by us was necessary on ac count of illness. The local Red Cross chapter has reimbursed us for all expenditures made in caSes that. would properly come under it's work or jurisdiction. and principally the influenza cases The greater num- Der of tubercular cases given aid were to the transients who go from place to place seeking a more suita- ble climate, and this problem is sometimes quite a difficult one to deal with, for we are not supposed to send people to other places to be a charge on their community.

 Another donation outside of our regular contributions was from the Bisbee High School who printed our Annual Reports, free of charge.
 Students Do Their Bit
 The pupils of tie domestic sci ence department of the Junior and Senior high schools of the district are also making clothing for tn school children in the destitute fam flies. tie money being provided by the local Red Cross chapter for the purchase of secondhand clothing which we have already received in response to our secent appeal to the different schools and in the local papers will help us very much in solving this problem for the coming winter months.
 Before the juvenile court was es- tablished in this county our associa- ticn was frequently called on to look after street waifs and children who were suffering from neglect and inn proper care, but now when such children are found without responsi- ble parents or guardians their cases are taken up in tie juvenile court, and in this way number of children have been taken off our hands whom we otherwise would have been called upon to care for.
 We have always endeavored to make our work as practical as pos sible, and chiefly not tQ encourage pauperism, and while we know that
