! "We have so much noW-won't you
tell the people of Washington about
somebody else who needs help?"
Gentle, stanch Bertha Matthews,
! who is 60, spoke for herself and her
I husband, Fred, who is 10. Until yes
terday, their poverty was extreme, and
a 25 per cent cut in their relief check,
reducing their monthly income to $18,
threatened still greater hardships. A
story of their plight, printed in The
] Star, brought an avalanche of prof
erred aid. More than 100 telephone
calls were received from persons who
wanted to help.
Now they want to share their for
tune with Others, Mrs Matthews sent
word to The Star. Tell them we are
grateful" she said. I'VE never knew
people could be so kind"
When the first caller appeared at her
basement home yesterday morning
bearing a basket Of food, Mrs. Mat
thews thought it was just a case Of
mistaken address.
: Food, Money and Flowers.
But that was just the beginning.
All day long they came with gifts
vegetables, sugar. flour, cocoa, apple
sauce, money, even potted geranium.
A Clarendon, Va, man called The
Star to say he wanted to help. Could
he have Mrs. Matthews address. He
had Just lost his mother and wondered
If Mrs. Matthews could use some of
her clothes. He had a fur coat she
could have, and he would like to buy
her some coal. Some of his neighbors
also wanted to lend aid.
The couples apartment was almost
crowded at one time yesterday with
men and women of warm hearts. Mrs.
Matthews was embarrassed. 1t had
been such a serious blow to be forced
onto relief; what would her hus-
band think when he returned home?
He was out looking for work Che re-
pairs vacuum cleaners). What would
he say about the heaps of bread and
canned goods and fresh fruit and
vegetables?
Aid Comes in Limousine.
A woman had driven up in limou-
sine. with chauffeur. She was older
than Mrs. Matthews, who was afraid
she'd fall on the cellar steps. She
left gay little potted red geranium
to brighten up the place, several
sprigs of holly, food, few dollars
and-some religious tracts.
Another woman wanted to buy
them some food BY that time, Mrs.
Matthews combined kitchen-dinin-

food for a month.
Two others had vacuum cleaners
they would give Matthews to repair.
An elderly woman, bed-ridden, had
new pair of shoes she wanted Mrs.
Matthews to have. What size did she
wear?
Poor Want to Help.
The poor wanted to help as well as
the rich. One told how she, too, had
been up aainst. She knew what a

The present inquiry seeks to find out

clared, the organization has levied a
tribute Of is cents a barrel on all the

The city's bakers, who use some
100000 barrels Of -four annually,
