Jail Had No Terrors for Them.

Life in Jail at Port au Prince, Haiti,
Is apparently so pleasant that it is
harder to keep the natives out than in.
A recent roll call showed five more
prisoners than had been committed.
officers of the marine corps who inves-
tigated the matter found that the five
extras" attracted by three good meals
a day and a comfortable cell to sleep
in, had sneaked in with the returning
road gang. Now prisoners who work
outside the walls are carefully counted
before they are readmitted.-Youths

CIVILIAN RELIEF
WORK OF RED CROSS
INTERESTINGLY TOLD
Miss Elizabeth Paris Gives
Splendid Address In
|. This City

Miss Elizabeth Parrish, the Lake
division field worker from the depart
ment of civilian relief, who Is work
ing with the local chapter this week,
gave very interesting and instruct
i've talk Wednesday evening at Red
Cross headquarters to the members
of all chapter committees and the
ministers of the city. She explained
the principles of welfare work as it
is carrier on under the best social
agencies OF the large cities at the
present time.
Out of many years personal exper-
fence as a welfare worker, she was
able to show very clearly the evils of
indiscrimnate almsgiving. She de-
clares that while money relief for
family or individual is sometimes
necessary in an emergency. it should
be given only after a thorough inves-
tigation by trained worker with a
view to finding and removing the
cause of the present distress in that
home.
ITO give aims without plan look
ing toward removing the cause" says
Miss Parrish, "is like treating dis
ease with dose of morphine. 1t de-
creases the discomfort for time,
but the trouble will return for the
cause remains and a bad habit has
only been added to the original cause
of distress.
Modern charity is constructive in
its aim. If the trained welfare work
er finds the distress in home to be
caused by the sickness Of the wage
Garner, she would seek to get him
cured; If caused by lazy and unem,
ployed father, she would try to force
him to work and support his family
properly, and so on-always striving
to remove the cause and make the
FANNY self.supporting."
Miss Parrish also points out the
harm of many agencies assisting the
same family at the same time. No
plan can be followed under these con
ditions and many investigators enter.

the knowledge that other societies
we're not duplicating their services.
Group meetings are being held

best attendance to date, and was a
