Out Of Work II Months.
How would you like 10 care for n
family of eight In three tiny rooms In
Miners Court? with no money. no
work. no food, no fuel and no out
,ook? That's the despairing pro9o
sition that rolish man and his wife
arc confronted with Just now. The
father has been out OF work fourteen
months. IJc's willing and happy for
n day or two's work, but there Is lit
tie TO be had. There are a wife and
children to provide for. Meat has been
an unknown article OF food TO this
family for so many months, that the
taste OF il would seem very strange.
Potatoes. rice, oatmeal are about all
that the family can get through the
aid Of the Associated Charities. II

doubtful II he could stand up under

| family are suffering from malnutri-

wards Of eighty thousand dollars in
a weeks campaign And more than
sixty thousand OF Il is in hand in cash
Other cities throughout the whole
lcountry are engaged in similar effort,
TO keep the wolf away
During the war It used TO be tn,
proud boast Of Wilmingtonians auC
Delaware folk, that they could "g,
over the top" Here Is another oppor
tunity.
