of Joseph Verlando. formerly of 120

lando is in the Perth Amboy city hos
pital with a bulet in his chest. Hos

dition is not serious. Bonito, his
wife and Mrs. Verlando are in the
lookup. the latter two as material
witnesses.
Chief of Police Henry J. Harring
ton who is conducting an investiga-
ton into the shooting has learned

lieved that because of this intimacy
that Verlando has left Brooklyn to
take up his residence in this borough.

ito decided to visit Verlando yester-
day, not aware of the fact that her
movements were watched by her
furious husband. Bonito walked into
the Verlando home yesterday and

lando's chest.

Report On Home SerDice
Work OF The Red Cross
Shouvs Much Was Done

Sometimes this assistance is help
ing the people into state homes; or
referring a widow to the proper
source for a widows pension; or
helping the unfortunate girl into a
shelter where up-firt work can be
accomplished. Ruskin said, ITO
give arms is nothing unless you give
thought also; therefore 1t is not
written, Blessed is he that feedeth
the poor, but blessed is he that con-
sidereth the poor y little thought
of kindness is often worth more than
great deal of money" The Red
Cross makes no distinction of race,
color, class, or creed. 1t serves all
alike when and wherc there is need.
1t is a modern practical application
of the story of 1.-THE Good Samari-
tam"
And the soul of the Red Cross Is
service-service governed so far as
Is humanity possible by the golden
rule 1t is this specialized work
which we do. Applicants often come
into our office asking for various
kinds of aid, and frequently after a
sympathetic and Intelligent inter-
view, we find much more important
needs. A persons eyesight i'm
paired, a crippled child. woman
Ill, man out of work, etc. Recently
we had a case reported to us where
the woman was unable to go to work
on account of her eyesight.s We
sent her to an oculist and boughr
eyeglasses for her, and she Is now
able to support her family. Is th.,'
not far better than TO have given
money?
Another woman could not even do
her own housework on account of
being afflicted with varicose Veins.
We purchased the rubber stockings
and made it possible for her To walk

At the annual meeting of the To-
cal Red Cross chapter held on
Thursday night at the headquarters
Room 219 in the Raritan building
the following report on home service
was made:
The Perth Amboy Chapter. Ameri-
can Red Cross, Is rcudy at all times
to serve humanity. 1t Is a member
of the disaster relief committee OF
the metropolitan area, and has in
case of disaster a large quantity OF
supplies stored in I-erth Afnboy, and
has access to beds and bedding, etc.,
in New York City IN case of great
disaster.
We have an active Junior Red
Cross under the leadership of Miss
Mamie Miller-the children becom-
ing members of the Red Cross by
service.
When called upon. the committee
on production also functions.
But it is the home service section
which is the principal activity car
ried on by this chapter, and 1t is of
this work we wish to report. Our
special obligation is to the ex-service
men and their families-assisting
them with claims on the govern
ment-helping them with their ap-
plications. and writing letters for
them, and rendering such material
aid as is necessary. We have been
during the past year successful in
having several claims awarded to
the eX-service men, Two or three of
which have been disallowed over
and over again. Since the federal
bonus was passed by congress, we
have filled out fully one hundred
for same. Besides our
work with the eX-service men, we
are doing social service work, and
giving assistance among civilians.

and keep her home In order. An
other case of interest Is that Of q
widower. his wife having died two
years ago, and since that time this
cnapter has had supervision OF the
family. The youngest child we
placed in Hopewell. Last summer
the man was sick and was in our
city hospital. Friends cared for the
other. children. For three months
we provided them each week with
groceries amounting to between four
and five dollars per week, and at the
beginning of school in September,
We purchased new snoes and new
clothing for all of the children.
Again, an entire family which
came to our notice had been i'll, and
owing to the large doctor bills and
lack of income. the entire family
were desperately in need of warm
clothing. We provided each mem
ber of the family with new under
clothes, shoes, and outer garments.
Where family who makes applica-
ton to us, is only temporarily en-
barrassed, we endeavor to keep them
from becoming a public charge. IT,,
however, regular support Is needed
for an indefinite time We refer them
to the city.
From October 1. 1923, to October
l, 1924, there were 401 different
cases under our care. OF this num-
Der there were 1913 ex-service men
and 26S civilian cases. Eight hun
dred and ninety-nine applications
have been made at the office.
We have had during the year 224
new cases of which number sixty
two were ex-service men and 1862
civilian cases. Four hundred and
forty-seven letters We're received
relative to cases, and we have writ
ten 674 letters in regard to cases. In
all 1851 calls were made in the
homes of the families that came un-
der our care. Thirty Eight trips have
been made to Newark to the home
for crippled children. One hundred
and thirty-five children were taken
there for treatment and operation
ten of which were left for operations
and hospital care. Ten new casts
were put on children and seven *
ravs taken. The Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks have TAX

ter a large expense for taxi hire.
We are most grateful to them for
their Kindness.
We have paid out over $1,000 In
relief, but this is a small part of the
assistance rendered. II you take
into consideration the work with
the cripples. the legal aid, medical
care, and other services rendered, II
would count up into large amount
of money. 1t is impossible to esti-
mate the value of the ss-uice render.
ed in this way. We cooperate with
the Red Cross chapters all over the
country, and also cooperate with the
New Jersey State department of In
stitutions and Agencies, the state
Board of Health, the state Board Of
Children's Guardians, the National
Travellers Aid Societies. and with
