NEW YORK. Feb. 20.-From Art
Young's "On My Way" tome it is
revealed how Eugene Field (the one
columnist who never accepted a
contribution) obtained a much
needed raise in wages. He had
been p~ersistently turned down, so
one day he entered the offices of
Daily News heading a procession OF
little children. Their clothes we're
threat-bare. their stockings torn
and their toes sticking through
their shoes. A few OF them we're his
own dressed for the occasion. With
a voice choked with tears Field
called on the editor to look upon
the terrible condition OF his kiddies
and then . have the heart TO
refuse his raise. He got the tilt, and
then went outside with the children
