NEED MORE MONEY
FOR RELIEF OF POOR
Stories of Distress Told to
Managers Of the Asso-
ciated Charities.

The board of managers of the As
| ISOLATED Charities held a special con-
ference yesterday afternoon with the
! social workers of the society for the
purpose Of learning at first hand from
them present conditions in their re-
spective neighborhoods. conditions
which are causing the management
no little anxiety because of the de-
mands being made upon the treasury
! of the society to meet the situation.
Causes of Distress.
J In accounting for the extra de-
nands being made upon them the Dis
| trict workers gave several reasons
for the increase. One worker en-
phasized the present Unemployment
situation, which, though not prob
ably as serious in Washington as in
many other cities. is much more
marked at the present time than a
year ago. This is shown by statistics
indicating the unemployment situation
in families under the care of the So
compared with year ago.
Another worker referred to the re-
adjustment of domestic relations fol-
lowing the war. Ninety-Seven in
stances Of non-support, or one in four
of every family under the care of the
society. were reported as calling for
adjustment, chiefly through court ac-
ton. In some of these families where
the men have been directed by the
court to pay weekly allowances they
are said to be begging off because
of industrial conditions Meantime
their wives and children need assist
ance.
Another of the visitors spoke par
ticularly of the problem presented by
the taking over Of former home sery-
ice families of the Red Cross. fami-
lies who had been assisted material
ly by the Red Cross Home Service
while the man was at the front.
Wherever the family problem in these
cases has become chronic one
through financial disability or nom
support or desertion, the Red Cross
has relinquished properly its respon-
s,olnty 70 peace. time social agencies.
The Associated Charities. being a nom
sectarian. non-racial organization
must bear large part Of this bur-
den.
Still another visitor referred to the
many calls which she had received
from the school attendance officers in
her district. where children were re-
ported as out of school because of lack
of shoes or clothing.
FOLLOWING reports from the district
workers. the board authorized the
chairman Of the meeting, DIR. George
NJ. kober, to appoint special COM
mittee to cooperate with the Joint
finance committee of the Associated
Charities and the Citizens Relief AS
ISOLATION. of whom Mr.. Milton +. Allies
is chairman.
Need Of More Contributions.
The hope was expressed that friends
OF the society would rally to it's sun
J port in this emergency: that all who
are able to increase their contribu
tons over last year would do so: that
| those not thus far heard from would

Car of Oil Burns Up

Saturday morning while workmen
were heating the road oil in a large
vat near the depot at Volga City,
the oil caught fire and soon was a
terrible mass of flames. The car
standing on the track close by con-
tanned approximately 500 gallons of
oil and it was not long until the
flames got to this oil. We might
have had a very disastrous story to
tell if the tank had of exploded, but
the intense heat melted off some cou-
plings underneath and let the oil
run out the bottom Of the car. The
roof of the depot and coal sheds
caught fire several times but the
quick action of the fire fighters
saved these buildings. The top of
the water tank was badly burned
as we'll as other parts of it.
The heaviest loss falls onto the
Iowa Road Building Co. of Des
Moines, their vat and gasoline en-
CINE being destroyed.
The heat was intense and the
black smoke curling up could be
seen many miles away.-Yolga City
