Little Change Reported
In Number of Cases E

The Board of Public Welfare re-
ported today relief cases and ex-
penditures remained virtually I'M
changed here during November as
compared with October totals, but
declined generally from the fig
ures of November, 1887.
At the same time, the board re-
newed complaints on the made
quacy of the staff of the public
assistance division, which admin
listers relief in the District, assert
ing a larger number Of case work
ers more rapidly eliminate "chis-
lers" from relief rolls.
There were 1888 cases Of gen.
eral relief last month, the board
said, as against 1,414 in October
and 2,732 in November, 1887.
OLD-AGE CASES
Old-age assistance cases were
1881 in November, 3,241 in Octo-
Der and 2,878 in November, 1887.
Cases Of aid to dependent chill
dren totaled 1,056 last month, the
board said. This compares with
!, 1882 in October and 1,161 in No
vember, 1887.
Blind aid cases we're placed at
218 for November, 219 in October
and TIA in November last year.
The board reported November
commitments for relief at STA
COL as against $174,749 in october
and $199, $40 in November, 1887.
The public assistance division
staff, the board said, is unable to
assemble necessary data required
for proof of eligibility in cases Of
aid to dependent children, and it
has been impossible for the cur
tailed staff to make the investiga-
lions needed for old-age cases.
PLEA FOR HELP
If the case working staff was
increased in general relief cases,
the board said, it is probably that
SO per cent more cases could have
been closed by determination of
eligibility for particular relief cat
egories or because families might
have been helped in making their
own adjustments.
The board disclosed 400 non
resident single men asked for as
sistance in November, almost
double the number of applicants
in the previous month.
This was attributed to publicity
of reports skilled labor is needed

Pension Groups Are Reorganiizing

This being the capital of California, set out
to find from the politicians who run the States
affairs an answer to this question: Why is it
that more of these fantastic schemes are born
in California than almost any other State in the
Union, including Colorado, which runs almost
neckand,neck with the Golden State for origina-
ton of "screwy" ideas?
The general answer is "screwy' in itself. Here
1t is: Because of the weather and getrichquick

California are not native sons and daughters.
