Life's Problems
Are Discussed
j
By Mrs.' Wilson Woodrow
WHAT would you do if you
found yourself "broke in
a strange city, without
friends or acquaintances ?
That was the interesting question
a man submitted to me the other
day. "Submitted", though, is hard
ly the word; he had just met me
as I was strolling up Fifth Avenue,
and as he turned and walked along
beside me he shot out the ques
tion with a vindictive earnestness
that showed his feelings had been
aroused to the boiling point.
"I don't mean merely 'strapped'
or 'financially embarrassed', he
went on. "but 'fiat broke', penni
less, hungry, with no place to rest
your lieud".
1 reflected a moment, "Why, if
such u thing should happen to me,
rapping the wood of my umbrella
handle to avert the evil possibility,
I should try to get something to
do—l wouldn't care what".
"But suppose you had tried anH
failed ? Suppose you were faint
with hunger and ready to drop with
fatigue
"Oh, then I suppose I would ap
ply to one of the public charities,"
1 said.
"Yes: and a sweet chance you'd
run of getting any relief,'' he ex
ploded wrathfully. Then he launch
ed, as I had anticipated, into the
story which explained his perturbed
spirits.
He had called the day before, it

; seemed, at a private school which is 11
attended by his little daughter, and 11
there had found in conversation with 11
the principal, a man of good etd-j
! dress, although looking a little seedy, i,
who was trying to obtain a position j ,
—in an extra or substitute capacity !
t if nothing better offered. ',
I The principal had nothing for |,
i him,'but the applicant still linger
;ed and so persistently urged his I
'claims that she finally turned to my j
j friend, and explaining that the man j'
was a teacher from the far West |
who had failed, through no fault of j 1
his own to establish an expected j
i New York connection, asked if he j :
knew of any opening,
i "Not necessarily at teaching".-!
said the Westerner, quickly stepping
forward as if to forestall the almost j
certain demurrer. "I am willing to I
do anything—anything at all, no :
matter how small the pay, until 1 !
have a chance to look around." j
The New Yorker is naturally sus- j
picious—he has been so often stung |
—but there was something in this j
j man's manner that aroused my
friend's sympathy, a hint of despe- •
ration. Looking closer he saw in !
the stranger's face the signs of phys- !
j ical suffering. He scribbled a line !
jon a card to a friend who is in ]
i charge of a large business establish- i
'< ment, asking that the man be given
employment suitable 10 his quaiifica- j
Hons: then he drew the other aside i
and pressed a bill frnto his hand. |
But the Westerner reddened and !
drew back. "Oh, no. thank you,"
he protested. "1 can't take money. |
I merely want work, and you have
already given me a chance at that." .
"Don't be a fool," said my friend.
"You're hungry, and you can't |
strike for a job properly on an emp- j
jty stomach. If the case were re- i
! versed, I'd take that dollar only too j
! quickly."
! In the end the teacher was per- \
j suaded. and hurried away with the '
| bill and my friend's card. The next ,
1 day the latter was surprised to re- j
' eeive a visit from the Westerner, j
who jubilantly announced that the j
card had secured him a position # run- .
ning a freight elevator, and that |
having been paid a day's wages he
had come to return the dollar.
Then the man told something of j
his experiences. He had come to |
New York to accept a place in a j
school, but on the way was taken I
ill with pneumonia and had to go j
ito a hospital on his arrival. When !
i he came out the vacancy he was I
' after had been tilled, and his money |
! was about all gone. He knew no j
| one in New York, and he hesitated i
until the last moment to write back |
j home for aid.
I When he did he had to face the
I fact that ten days must intervene j
j before he could get an answer, j
j Feverishly he sought for work. The
I Municipal Employment Bureau sent j
i him to a munitions factory in Ho- !
boken, but Ihe doctor there refused j
to permit .him to work on account or [
his weak lungs. He was compelled j
to pawn his every possession, .even l
down to his overcoat, and walked ;
miles daily to save carfare, but still !
he could get no work.
"Two days before I met you", he [
said to my friend, "I spent my last
ten cents for a sandwich and a glass ]
of milk. That dollar of yours !ook-j
ed bigger to me than all of Rock- !
efeller's millions."
"But if you were hungry," de- ;
manded the other, "why did you not |
go to one of the public charities J" j
"I did", he smiled grimly. "They j
gave me a blank to fill out as long
as the moral law. and, asked for per
sonal references. I wrote down the j
name of a bank president, the may- !
or and several other prominent cit
izens of my home town. Then they
(old me to come back the next morn
ing. I gasped: twenty-four hours
seemed a long wait to me. 'Can't
you give me some little job in the
meantime?' I pleaded. 'Something
even if it earns nte onlv ten or fif
teen cents?' But they said no:
they must first telegraph to my ref
[ erences
I. "When I heard that I reached out
j and grabbed the blank I had tNled
out ajtd tore it jn two. 1 would
; rather starve than let those men
whose names I had given know that
; I was reduced to such straits."
"And that is organization char
ity tor you," concluded my friend
j disgustedly. "Ask for bread and
' they will give you a stone—neatly
j tied up in red tape. Not another
j dollar of mine do they ever get."
i I do not give this little story for
I the purpose of arranging public or
i organized charities. It I were to
|do that, I should be overwhelmed
with a mass of figures and statistics
and by them can always prove and
I justify its existence.
I only say that if a case of this
kind could occur—even if it is an
individual and exceptional case
there is something wrong with the
charities.
System is a necessity, of course,
especially in a bureau called upon
to deal with the vast horde of
| lrauds and fakirs and mendicant im
j postors. But the tendency of svs
| tem is always to make itself the
I be-all and end-all to make the
' way of doing the tKing more im
i portant than the actual doing it.
j Over at the front the F'rench
; officers, finding themselves hant
: pered and enmeshed by War Of-
I tice red tape, have introduced an
; efficiency feature which thev call
"System D", and which simply
I means to go ahead and do the neces
| sary or proper thing and then get
| the authority or permission for it
I afterward.
Possibly our charitable and phll
! anthropic agencies would be im-
I proved by the addition of a few
"System D" experts. Possibly• also,
j they would profit by cutting out
some of the statisticians and calcu
lators. and putting in their place a
; few red-blooded and sympathetic
persons who possess at least the
j character-reading ability of the or-
I dinary clerk.

Wheatless Meals
Wheat is the most pressing food
need of the allies. Americans alone:
can supply wheat until the next har-1
vest and they can do so only by re-1
ducing their total consumption of

us can cut our wheat consumption
30 drastically, but those jpf us who
can do so, must. Some, indeed, are
giving up the use of wheat entirely.
It can be done. Here are suggestions

tutes they are patriotically buying.
