Welfare Agency's Vast Files
Deal Hard Bl0,v to Chiselers
Social SerUice Exchange
Keeps Close Tab on
Relief Recipients.

Neither Mrs. Mary F. G. Leute, di-
rector of the Social Service Exchange,
ll0l M street NV, nor any member
OF her staff of 20 officers, looks like
Sherlock Holmes. Their files contain
no fingerprints, locks of hair or othe,
evidence that detectives like to collect
Yet within three minutes they can fine
out whether the bearer of a hard luck
story, appealing for charity, has had
help from any welfare agency ir
Washington during the last IS years
It's not magic, but fine elaboration
of regular business filing plus a Bit
of psychology. This exchange system
saves the public thousands of dollars
| each year by making it impossible fol-
professional beggars to get help from
organized charities and by preventing
other families from getting relief from
more than one agency at time. In
fact, ii all persons gave aid only
through the established welfare agen-
cies the work of the exchange alone
would wipe out professional begging
almost overnight
AS soon as a person applies to an
organized welfare agency he is regis
tered at the exchange and a record
is kept of all free services he re.
ceives. Through its phonetic file
containing about 375,000 names, 8
cross-reference of families by streets
and listing of the relatives Of those
families, the exchange can identify
even the most expert beggar.
Records Confidential.
On the other hand, the family ir
real need, but not wanting it's troubles
made public, has no cause to feal
the exchange, for its records are en-.
| tirely confidential and will only be
| given out to a staff member of ar
accredited social agency. Such fam.
lilies, indeed, have cause to welcome
the exchange, for it helps them tt
get better and prompter service.
Typical of the way the exchange
works in these cases is the service
it gave a mother who wanted to senc
her boy to free camp last summer
The exchange revealed the fact thai
the boy had formerly been under tht
care of the Washington Heart Asso.

Small Hospital
 Opened, Kodiak

Dr. and Mrs. A. B. Jones are open ing small hospital and dispensary at Kodiak. They have been located in Kodiak about eight months and have every reason to believe that a five-or six-bed hospital would adequately take care of those who require disqualification at Kodiak, Ouzinkie and Afognak.
 A careful survey of the population shows approximately SIS people at Kodiak, 200 at Ouzinkie, fifteen miles away, and about 280 at Afog- nak, located thirty miles north of Kodiak
 Sixty percent of this population are beneficiaries of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Bong-Up Show
At Goyety

The Gayety presents q strik.
ing revue this week, with every
angle Of the show strong in
every detail. The comedy is
fresh and well handled. The
specialties are admirably accom-
plished by some Of the best in
burlesque, while the chorus Is
fast, talented and colorful.
Princess White Wing. an In
dian girl, is the chief attraction.
She is presented in a dance
portraying her nationality while
background with an array Of
feather-bedecked girls. The mum.
Der has appeal in a sense, but
lacks sparkle and speed, which
is required to put over q num-
Der of that type. Nevertheless
she is a gorgeous person to gaze
on and receives a nice hand.
When there is comedy to be
dished out, the Billy Hagen-Co
ME Ryan-Jess Mack-Al Farr
combination can't be beat. These
boys tear through some of the
most laughable entertainment
that has been at the Gayety
this season. It, is Hagen's droll-
ness; AL Fairs all-but.dropping
pants; Ryan's singing and
smooth delivery of lines, and
Jess Mack's job as a straight
man that help make show a hit.
One of the finest highlights
of the revue is the dancing of
Mimi Reed. This little lady
has expression in every limb
and particle Of her body, which
does much to put over her "Ha-
Waiian" and Bubble" numbers.
Two more hits are the har.
monica strains from the clever
instrument of Paul Rich and
the tapping of Ned Walsh. Rich
is a one-man band and turns
out melodies like a machine,
only with human expression
which cannot be substituted,
while Walsh taps merrily to re-
ceive a goodly applause.
Joan MaviS and Jean Carter
are lovely to look at as they
perform the usual dances seen
at the Gayety.
Last, but by. far the least, are
the two daughters Of that well.
