cial pet, 3-year fold Hal, who needs the
guidance of strong fathers love and
understanding. This father is totally
unable to contribute 10 the support of

sons earnings, which are so pitifully
inadequate for his mother and five
brothers and sisters.

Tragedy has reared its head high in
at least one home. Even after drunk
en- husband left his family in compare
tive peace, his deeds remained behind
him. Now the mother is faced with
the problem of supporting her six chill
dren-one is only years old-with
only the help of the two Oldest sons,
one Of whom works after school.
To tighten her burden and keep her
from being forced to leave the younger
children to care for themselves as best
they may while she is forced to do
menial labor to put even bread into
their mouths, $40 weekly, or $500 for
the year, is needed.

Opportunity No. 5.
A poor, bewildered foreign mother
finds herself in land where even the
customs and language are strange, and
she is alone with her responsibilities.
In her trouble she cannot even turn to
her former source Of cheer and COM
fort-her husband, long a victim OF
tuberculosis. But mother love is COM
mon to all lands. Motherhood is in
every gesture of this slim, dark-haired
little woman, as with the aid of the
15-year- daughter she watches ten
derly over her two little boys that they
may grow up to become loyal young
Americans. Should Sne find work, her
income would be far too small to sup
port her family.
Unless some one steps in and fur

Opportunity No. 6.
More heartbreaking by far than the
man who is physically unable to sup
port his family is the man who,' with
the skill and ability to command a COM
Portable living wage, leaves his family
to bear the brunt of the suffering
caused by his moral weakness. What
will they do, these six fatherless little
children, ranging in age from l to IL
years, with only frail mother between
them and want while the father is
paying the penalty for his neglect? Are
they to be another broken family who
VIII bear through life the scars of url-
happiness caused by separation, or will
they get the aid that means happiness?
Twenty-six dollars week, or 81 1852 for
year, will bring this happiness.
