MANY RESPONSES
TO AID WIDOW
Would Help Poor Woman Who
Did Not Ask Charity

Il would like to help that poor
widow who was found sick with sew
eral small children. ] will give you
some money and will you see that
she gets it?" The above letter was
handed a member Of the Salvation
Army STAFF who had charge of one
OF the street kettles this morning
with the request that dollar. which
was attached. be used towards fur
nishing relief for the family,
More than dozen communications
phone calls md inquiries have been
received at the army barracks for In
formation concerning the family of
the poor wash woman, an account Of
which was published In a recent edi-
tion Of The Herald.
Clothing and canned goods are be
ing received right along at the army
headquarters for the relief OF the
family. There Is basketful of food
there now, waiting for the woman to
send one of her children to get it,
There has been some comment
throughout the city on the part of
people who are not fully conversant
with the circumstances, saying 1t
would have been impossible for such
a condition to exist without the nun
liGpal authorities knowing 1t. The
Salvation Army meets the argument
with the story that the woman was
not in destitute circumstances, so long
as she was able to do washing, but
conditions became acute when she fell
| i'll and could not do her work. Be
| ing rather proud she refused to notify
any one of her circumstances and the
discovery was made ty accident.
Had the woman appealed to any
one for aid, there is no doubt but that
either the Salvation Army, the Wei
fare association or the city charity de-
partment would have been glad to
look into her case.
That there are people in the city
too proud to accept charity openly, Is
shown by the fact that n woman, the
mother of nine children, who yester-
day appealed to a salvation Army
captain for shoes for her children, II
the presence of d reporter, last night
returned the shoes in Indignation
when her case was referred to in the
columns of the newspaper.
Reports at the MONDAY luncheon
today showed $1G9.57 additional col
lections, making the total amour
S1,760.5l.
Because of the inclement weather, {
conference took place between Georg'
A. Quigley chairman of the genera
committee, and Mrs. w. II. Booth
chairman of the women's committee
when it was decided to postpone tai
day until tomorrow.

HOUSE WRECKED BY AU U; GAR
 NUT DAMAGED
Ted Kobey's Dodge Dodges Another Car, Then Dives
 Through Concrete Wall

A contest between a Dodge auto mobile. driven by Ted Kobey, and a concrete block house on School Hill street, owned by Mrs. R. O. Mitchell, resulted disastrously yesterday after noon for the concrete house. which was completely wrecked, and caused Mrs. F. E. Grace, occupant of the house, a narrow escape from death.
 Kobey was driving up the street to- ward the high school, and was round ing sharp turn at that point when he met w M. Reese driving another car down the hill. At the turn of the road it is so narrow that it is impos- sible for two cars to pass, and 60 avoid collision Kobey went over the bank and into the side of the con crete block house.
 Mrs. Grace was sitting by window in chair in the house, with her feet resting on second chair. When she heard the shock she sprang from the chair, and as she left it the wall of the house caved in and concrete blocks fell all around, crushing to splinters both chairs. Kobey's car en- tered the room through the hole it had knocked in the wall Neither Kobey nor Mrs. Grace was hurt Not so much as headlight of the car was broken, and it was driven off under it's own power. A fender of Reese's car was bent as the two cars brushed past each other.
 That section of the house was wrecked Concrete blocks from the wall fell on a bed and wrecked it. It appeared as if the other walls were about to cave it. It looks like stone house in a French village that big shell has gone through
 The city street at that turn is very narrow, and Mrs Mitchell said that other accidents have occurred there.

bANkHEAD UNIT
 ORGANIZED HERE
Plans For Encouraging Auto Traffic Are F Formed Last
 Night At Meeting

The Warren District Unit of the Southwestern Bankhead Highway As sociation was formed at public meeting at the offices of the conner cial club last night.
 The meeting was well attended and was marked by the interest and en- thusiasm of all present. all of whom joined the organization on the spot and paid a years dues
 The local unit will start to func- tion at once Membership commit tees were appointed to cover the en- tire district with the intention of se- curing the membership of every busi- ness man, every auto owner, and ev- erybody interested in bringing large and legitimate incerase of business to the district.
 Will Bring Many Here
 It was the opinion of those present that the value of the project of bring ing transcontinental auto traffic over the Bankhead highway is so apparent that there will be no difficulty in se- curing the requisite membership. It was pointed cut that for a few weeks after the time that the Douglas cham Der of commerce sent representatives to Lordsburg to induce the people there to route autoists over the Bank head, that from 50 to 60 cars passed through Bisbee each day But in or der to maintain and increase this traffic it is necessarily to permanent ly sign and to advertise the route, and this will be accomplished through the general organization. The War ren District unit will look after local interests in the matter and cooperate with the general organization.
 A contract has been entered into with the Auto Club of Southern Cali fornia to sign the route from Fl Paso to San Diego. Ametal sign on a steel post will be placed every five miles all the way across Cochise county. The cost of this work is remarkably low, but must be paid for through memberships in the organization.
 V. NJ. Johnson was elected perma- nent chairman Of the Warren District Unit, and Dr. N. c. Bledsoe, secretary. The good roads committee of the appointed board of directors of the To- cal unit, composed of V. M. Johnson, l NJ W. Powell, R. R. Boyd. F. c. Bled- see, and J. A. Kinney, ST.
 Committees Named
 Membershipgcc committees were ap pointed as follows: For Lowell Frank Thayer, F. E. Kelly. Meade Powell and Howard Givens for John, son Addition, Frank Bledsoe and Sandy Moss; Tor Warren. Henry Bohmfalk. B. F. McNally, Jesse Yoa kum, Louis Dugal and J. G. Cowan for Naco road, Thorleif Olsen, Waiter 1 Sheppard and J. A Kempton; fol ] Brewery Gulch, J. A. Finney, l..

 The membership committees will start work next week. Individual memberships cost s1 year, and busi- ness memberships SIP a year. The general organization will issue mem bership cards to. all making applica- tion, and some sort of auto insignia will probably be authorized.

COMPARES WELL: WITH CITY
Average American Small Town, In
Fact, Is Definitely More Pteasur-
able Abiding Place.

The churches in nearly every small
ity, nor Is society in any Of them like
insipid gaucherie pictured to us as
typical in nn imaginary town Of best
seller" Small talk may predominant
at any gathering, but that is true in
the city, and there may be n lack Of
the super-retinements of manner and
of dress, but whether that is to the
credit or the discredit Of the small
town is at least debatable. AS for
brains and enterprise and energy, why,
the small town in America is their
breeding ground. 1t is from the small
towns and the farms that the cities
Of America draw their vitality. How
many of the MEN and women whose
names are found in "Who's Who in
America" are or were smhll-tOWn
people? Most of them. And those
who left the small town for the city
did so, as rule, not because there
was lack Of beauty, of refinement or
Of taste at home, but because they
sought larger opportunity. The small
town Is not gross, nor unlOVely. 1t.
speaking collectively, is the cherished
abiding place of millions of Ancrl-
cans who compare In every worthy
attribute with the inhabitants of cities,
and whose faults and virtues are In
herently the faults and virtues OF
America itself.-EXchange.
