Community Chest Dollars in Action

supported by public contributions
through the Community Chest for just
such emergencies as this. The nurse
agreed to go to the home and arrange
for the care of the youngster.
OF course, she was told the home
would be glad to take care Of the baby,
now starting into his second year. and
the transfer was quickly effected.
Still doubtful. the young mother In
sisted on being taken to the home, and
there she saw the careful, efficient care
given other babies. She was instantly
convinced and made ready to go to
the hospital. That was three months
age.
A few days ago the young couple
came to the Washington Home for
Foundlings and announced that they
were ready to take the baby home
with them. The father has found q
job and the mother is fully recovered
from the illness which sent her to the
hospital.
The baby was turned back to its
parents and they are once more estab-
lished in a little partment, and as
the man told Miss Thomas, If the
Community Chest provides for baby
home like this, the solicitor won't have
any trouble getting whatever can
give when the next campaign comes

-EW people think of children's
home as an emergency haven
for children. In the minds OF
most people such homes are
popularity supposed to take only
children whose parents are no longer
able to support them and to keep
these children over periods of years.
An entirely different picture Is
painted by Miss L. Elizabeth Thomas,
Superintendent of the Washington
Home for Foundlings, who points out
that this institution is constantly
ready to come to the assistance OF
family even if it involves keeping the
children for only few days or for
several weeks. Such an instance she
pointed out in the case of one young
ster who left the home recently.
Seeking a new environma1t, young
couple came to Washington in the
latter part of 1888 They had saved
a little money for their new venture
and shortly after they and their s.
month-old baby were ensconced in a
little apartment the father found
work. For a year everything went
fine. The man worked daily, the baby
was growing and the couple were en-
abled to add small sum to their
savings.
Then misfortune struck. The father
lost his job.
Couple Fight on BraveIy.
Still cheerful, the young couple kept
UP the battle, the mother finding a
little work at times and the family
living on their meager savings in the
meantime.
Food became scarce. They could no
longer pay rent for the little apart
ment. They were forced to move to
one room. Still they persevered.
Then the mother, overworked, be-
came Ill.
An instructive visiting nurse, called
to the home, decided that the mother
must 60 to the hospital for a period
Of several weeks at least.
The couple had no relatives in
Washington. There was no one to
care for the baby. The one-room
residence precluded the bringing in OF
any one to look after the little one
even If there had been funds to pay
for such help. There were no such
funds. f~
The mother refused to 60 to the
hospital. Lying at home growing
weaker, she still insisted that she
would not leave her baby. The father
still out of work, could do nothing.

LEGION HEADS
TO PUSH BONUS
Called to indianapolis Tues.
day for Discussion on
VinSon Bill Plans.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The National Executive Committee
of the American Legion has been
called to meet Tuesday in Indianap-
oils, ostensibly to give a fresh push
to the Vinson soldiers bonus bill
providing for cash payment, but leav-
ing to the Treasury how the money Is
to be raised.
Beaten In the House, which ap-
proved the Patman measure calling
for payment in $4,000 900, 900 OF new
currency, Legion officials said they
believed the Vinson plan had a bet
ter chance of Senate approval. They
also thought this bill would be more
acceptable to the White House.
Leaders See Veto.,
Senate leaders, however, continued
t. claim neither of these bills would
be approved by the President and
clung to their prediction veto could
be sustained in their branch. Whether
or not the 1895 elections have any
thing to do with 1t, they are hope
full a compromise might be worked
out to avoid veto.
Negotiations to this end thus far
have failed to make much headWay
No plans have been made for con-
sideration of the House bill by the
Senate Finance Committee, the ques-
tion having been delayed until Presi-
dent Roosevelt returns from his
Southern cruise.
There is a possibility that the N
r. A. extension bill, If 1t requires
much more of the committees time
might be sidetracked temporarily un'
til disposal Of the bonus: Chairman
Harrison has announced only brie
bonus hearings would be held on th'
latter.
No one knows how the Senate woule
line up on the bonus in the first In
stance since all votes on the question
in recent years have been taken OF
riders to other bills and no straight
out test has been provided.
Bonus Main Question.
The bonus is only one of severa
topics that will engage the attention
of the Legion Committee next week
but officials here said it would be tn
main one.
The group, headed by Frank n
Belgrano, jr., national commander, !
expected to survey the progress OF it
four-point program adopted at tn
Miami convention-cash payment o
the bonus with cancellation of inter
est on bonus loans and refunding o
interest already paid; adequate ma
tional defense, universal service an
widows and orphans aid
Legion leaders were described a
"happy' over the final passage o
the War Department appropriation
bill calling for an increase Of 1925
in the Army's enlisted strength.
They also were said to be annou
that the Senate Munitions Committe
would evolve a program for universe
draft and limiting war profits sue
as the Legion advocated at its las
meeting.
