CNOWl with its Snappy

OF the unemployed SNOW
SNOWi
For Sunday and today. like the
marine warning of sharks tai ig
a ship or the desert buzzards trav-
cling overhead. snow gave its
warning to Indianapolis that hun
dreds of children would shiver 60
ing to school unless the spirit Of
HIM, goes into homes of the
iobless.
Last week mild temperatures
prevailed and the men and
women Of tomorrow went to
school without entering teeth,
chapped hands, frosted feet.
It takes but drop of tempera-
ture to turn them into sufferers,
and it takes but a drop of human
kindness to make them warm and
comfortable.
And you can give that drop of
human kindess by entering the
"Clothe a School = Child" cam
paign of The Times.

DICTURE this scene today on
/ West Mccarty street:
He ran to keep warm. He
breathed body warmth on his raw
hands. A cottonwood coat,
finged with poverty, tapped in
the breeze. His knickers were
tatters. His stockings white
splotched with skin showing
through. His shoes scuffed out
at toe and heel Weather tears
coursed his cheek. His nose was
ungovernable. He had no kerr
chief. He SMILED.
Then picture this in a warmer
street of the city, where affluence
warns even the pavements:
He takes his time ON the way 10
school. A trim mackinaw stems
the chilly breezes. His hands are
ploved in sheepskin. His hlgh-top
boots and wool stockings crunch
warmth and well-being.
Both boys are brothers Of man.
7r,1ev have the same white skin,
the same kind of heart, and tne
came kind of hopes except thaC
one has realization OF his cream
while the West McCarty lad JUST
