"They arc both pnst the nllntted three score nnd ten nnd the little old woman is almost blind. I wns attracted to them nt once nnd started an investigation on my own1 nccount.

He wondered ! he could do something for the Mayor or tho city, but ho isn't really able. ' "Well, I was so disgusted when I found how little organized charity was doing for them that I decided to take full responsibility myself. There are no In-between persons who must bo pnld out of my offering. When 1 take them $10 they get It nil. Naturally those who work with these organizations must be paid, but $10 dwindle to nbout $2 when It reaches the needy by that route. At the tlmo I found these people they were re coking frdm an organization their rent aim $1 a month for provisions. "It renlly helps a lot to see such cases'. I'm so, interested that I go each week, or oftcner when I can, to take food and other necessities. I put gas into the houBo for them because I was afraid they' would have a flro with tho old-fnshloncd oil lamps. It's worth while doing anything for tnem becnuse they nrc so grateful."
