OLD CLOTHES SALES
 BRING BIG AMOUNTS
Church Report Shows Annual
 Total Of $55O,OOO

Chicago, H., Aug. 27.-Sale of old clothes and household goods to the poor by the Methodist Episcopal church runs into an annual total of s35o,000, it was announced here today the Methodist Committee on Concer- vation and Advance.
 This field has been entered in large scale by the Methodists in their "Coodwill'' program. They have 1s establishments in as many big cities, than s1 OOO,O0O They project 21 more plants by 1924.
 These activities were reviewed for the conservation committee by Dr. David D. Forsyth, of Philadelphia, secretary of the Methodist Board of Home Missions and Church Exten- sion In summarizing his report, the committee said:
 These plants are engaged in gath ering cast off clothing, shoes. furni- ture, books and other articles neces- sary to the household. These are renovated arss. sold in stores to the poor at ridiculously low prices.
 Men and women out of employ ment for any reason whatsoever may ofttain work at these plants. Their purpose Is to salvage human beings from economic and moral wreckage, and their motto mot charity but a chance.' Profit is no object,
 During the past year s40S,oo0 was paid out in wages, POP, 800 days work was furnished to the uneployed, and 5000 persons received this kind of economic aid. More than 250,0 poor bought at the stores. The ma tcrials were furnisred by 115,000 homes of the well-to-do. Fourteen different trades and handicrafts are regularly taught.
 The parent plant in Boston has been in operation for twenty years. I. has 75,000 bags in as many homes and does an annual business of over S200,0O0. Its goods requires eight separate stores in various poor quar- ters of Boston. "Other plants are at Jersey City, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Cleveland, Gin cinnati St. Louis, Milwaukee, Duluth, St. Paul Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Lowell and Oakland. New | ones will be established in the near future at Toledo, Des Moies, Washing l ton, Rochester, Louisville, Syracuse, l Portland, Seattle and Spokane"

GOD INSPIRES SON, SAYS PROUD MOTHER
De Valera'S Parent Attributes Work to Divine Guidance

Rochester, N. Y, Aug. 27.-"God it is who inspires my son-not merely his mother-so why should be of in- terest?'
 A snowy haired old lady with blue Irish eyes and as determined mouth as ever expressed belief in Ireland g freedom was the speaker-Mrs. Cath erins Wheelwright, mother of Ramon De alVera. president of tho Irish Re- public.
 While the son occupies the center of the stage in world interest, the heart of Ireland may be said to beat from this little house in a Rochester side street
 It was here Ramon De Valera first
New Britain herald., 1921-08-27

Mrs. Catherine Wheelwright, Mother
 of Eamon De Valera, and Her
 Distinguished Son. visited two years ago when all the British authorities were looking for him.
 Dynamic Figure. Mrs. Wheelwright, blue eyes snap ping, aged figure full Of determina- tion and vigor, looks the part of as unfliEchlng an Irish patriot as ever gave mother interest to any Irish stage drama. g"Of course, a mother plays a part in her sons destiny, but my mother, too, had a lot to do with 'Ee's' life What man becomes depends on his early training.
 s4 My boy-a great man? We'll, guess England isn't so fond of him!" The old lady laughed. He certainly has given the British lions tail a few tweeks.
 Yes, he is a great world figure. but tie truce and the whole future -ek Ireland's freedom is Gods will Gods purpose working through my son.
 You think my son is an important man today; we'll, it isn't anything to what he's going to be-
 Mrs. Whee1wrighr turned toward her husband, Charles Wheelwright, foreman in a big Rochester optical house
 That is. if England doesn't get him. s@.
 Everything will be settled definitely before six months"
 Recalls Visit.
 Wasn't I glad to have him here, thought she said, putting on her black hat and getting her prayer book, for she was going to mass. We had great times together. haven't been back in Ireland for 14 years, but I'm going again When-'
 She stopped and looked, not wist- fully. but exultanth about her little home.
 It's AZ years since came to Ameri- ca I've lived in Rochester 28 years Seems 1ong-but whats my life and that of my son to the hundreds of years Ire1and's been fighting for freedom?
 When 'Ee' was a little boy he seemed different from the others - maybe a mothers prayers do count put tell you It's God who chose him to fulfill divine destiny.
 He was born in America and rear ed in Ireland; that's a good start for hberator. He has grit, courage, de- termination and intelligence"
 Mother of Liberty.
 Looking at the purposefu1, shrewd. keen old lady, wnose lined face is a dynamo of energy. one could under stand what inheritance she had be. slowed upon her son.
 It's best for me not to talk about politics and I can keep my mouth closed hut"
 AS Mrs. Wheelwright, neat and black clad, hurried off to mass. her gesture expressed volumes. There isn't sidelight on the Irish situatio that isn't known to this old lady. She sits in her tidy little home and waits and watches her hour-the real mother of Irish liberty
