DOT BROWN Prizes
OPEN PUBLIC PURSE
16-Year-oId Has Charge of
All Financing for
Prisoners Relief.

II there Is any sixteen year old girl
in Washington who gets more mail
than dot" Brown, Postmaster Mer-
rit o. Chance doesn't know who IT is.
Dot" not only is the champion
recipient of letters but also takes
credit for being the youngest gold
digger" in the District.
The young woman, whose business
acumen would do credit to that OF a
conservative financier, started her
business career two years ago-at
the age of fourteen-and today she Is
the hard working, energetic financial
secretary of one OF the city's most
successful humanitarian organiza-
tions, the Prisoners Relief Society OF
which E. K. budding has been presi-
dent and guiding genius for many
years.
Anybody with clerical knowledge
can act as secretary Of an organizA.
ton but when the word financial" is
appended to the office, that's some.
thing else again. 1t means that the
incumbent must be a producer, a go
getter, a money-raiser-in short a
regular hard-boiled gold digger"
So pretty Dot" Brown, with all
her, cha rming business persuasive
ness, collects the contributions TO
carry on the work of the society, and
does 1t all by herself. according to
President budding. But let him tell
you about it.
ITO finance a church or some
other institution requires the efforts
of a pastor and his whole flock,
usually by means of a drive and a
house-to-house canvas. But no

No man or woman gets a penny

carry on our nationwide work. We
must go 1t alone for the Prisoners
Relief Society has no tag days. We
ask no favors rof any of the other
charities, and no organized assocfa'
tions go out of their way to help us
so someone had to solve the
problem Of rasiing money for us. Dot
Brown discovered the secret. We
spend no money to raise contribu
tions and sometimes we even save
the cost of postage. An introduction
to Miss Brown is accomplished only
when a check is forthcoming.
1t is our function to help the con.
vict, the most despised individual OF
all mankind. Consequently, It is not
an easy task to get money for such
purpose. Men workers have failed
to produce for us and now it's a
girls job. After the death of Miss
Watts and the marriage of Miss
Abbott, the society was virtually on
the financial rocks for two years
