YULET|DE FINDS
FAMILY Of SIX
IN WANT
Father, Long Out Of Work, Has
Only Occasional Odd Jobs;
Children Need Help

Just three little rooms
spotlessly clean meagerly
furnished, but, for all, it is
home to the c. family.
Father has been out of work
for nearly seven months. except
for what odd jobs he could get
and he hasn't even had any Of
these for the last three weeks.
Mother tries to make ends meet
in every possible manner but
can't quite make the grade.
Two Boys, Two Girls
Four children. two boys, 8 and
6 years old, and two girls, one a
baby and the other IA, complete
the family. Both boys claim they
are old enough to help keep the
family by running errands but
no one needs their services. The
eldest girl sells magazines from
door to door in the evening after
school. trying to do her bit to-
ward the family needs.
Every bit of wearing apparel
is sewn and patched and patched
again until one is at a loss to
learn the original cloth of the
garment. The entire family needs
clothing and the mother is clever
enough with the needle to make
any garment over to fit the
needs of herself and family.
Good Fellows Needed
Many Good Fellows have re-
sponded to the call for help made
in The Washington Times for the
needy of the city but many more
are needed to care for the dozens
of worthy cases which have been
brought to the attention of the
Good Fellow Editor and which
are being brought to light by his
investigators.

of help to one of the city's unfor-
tunates, fill out the blank shown
on this page, or stop into the
office of The Washington Times
and select some family to give a
helping hand to during their
period of stress. You'll enjoy
