MOTHERS’ AID SOCIETY HEARS REPORT OF WORK Mrs. Henrietta Ellinwood Elected President for Tenth Time. At the animal meeting of the Mothers’ Aid Society at the office of the organization in the Union Trust Building yesterday, Mrs. Henrietta E. Ellinwood was re-elected president, this being her tenth term In that capacity. In acknowledging the pleasure of the society in again placing Mrs. Ellinwood at its head, Mrs. Frank D. Stalnaker gave a resume of the work of the organization since Its inception in 1907, she hav- ; ing been on its board of directors since that time. She related how the Mothers' Aid had grown from its first few families cared for to its present enormous pro- ■ portions; from the days when Mrs. El- j linwood and her several officers carried on the work up to the present time when hundreds of families are handled in the course of the year. Mrs. Fred C. Gardner also indorsed Mrs. Elllnwood's reelection by a motion that a vote of thanks be extended her for the many years of faithful, efficient service she had rendered. Mrs. Gardner has also been a director in the Mothers’ Aid Society for many years. The following report was read by the president: “Industrial and economic conditions during this past year have been more serious than at any time In the history of our organization. “Unemployment and lowered wages have on the one hand Increased the number of persons dependent upon the amount of money available for our use. “Thus ■with increased demands and decreased funds the members of our office force have been compelled to exert strenuous efforts and spend long hours to carry on the work. We have, however, given relief and advice to all who have sought our assistance or have been reported to us. “Ton will be Interested, no doubt, to know that we have assisted 1,908 widows and children (490 widows, 1.418 children). Our disbursements were $58,010.93. We have given advice alone approximately 15,300 times, and handled 157 court cases. Made 4,207 visits. Reunited and made self-supporting fifty-seven families. Returned fourteen families to their respective relatives in other cities. “Anew phase of our work has been the establishment of four social centers in addition to Fairview Settlement. These social centers were organized primarily to enable us to cope with the high rent situation. It being much more economical to supervise, teach and provide for numerous families under one roof. We are thus able to keep the children with their mothers and permit the mothers to go out and work for their own livelihood by leaving their children in the care of a widow in charge and in many other ways simplify and coordinate our work; for example: “One of the colored centers has ninety children enrolled in the kindergarten and eleven mothers with thirty-two children housed, there. “The work at Fairview has gone forward with ever increasing interest. We have provided at the Settlement for fiftythree widows and 136 children during this past year. Our supervisor has made 1,155 visits. You can thus readily see that the homes, two nurseries and kindergarten have been overcrowded at all times. If we had more cottages we could accommodate more families. “We hope during the coming year to establish more social centers, thus increasing our facilities for handling a greater number of dependent families on the most economical basis possible.” The society officers include: Mrs. Ellinwood, president; Mrs. Harry D. Hammond. vice president; Mrs. Stanley Timberlake, vice president: Mrs. Frank L. Jones, recording secretary; Mrs. George C. Haerle, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Harry Miesse, assistant corresponding secretary; Miss Martha S. Allerdice, treasurer. Mrs. Fred C. Gardner. Advisory Board—Mrs. William J.

Barrett, Lehman H. Price, William L. Taylor. Directors whose term expires this year were re-employed for term of three years as follows: Mrs. John Kinghan, Mrs. Frank J. Lahr, Mrs. Fred C. Gardner, Mrs. John Madden. Mrs. D. McCall White, Miss Martha S. Allerdice, Mrs. Richard, Lieber, Mrs. William L. Taylor, Mrs. Fred W. Scholl, Mrs. Herbert Wagner, Mrs. Henrietta E.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. *■ Or D*vid Cory One day, when an old woman was sweeping hpr house, she found a little, crooked sixpence. “What shall I do with this little sixpence?” she said. “Go to market and buy a little pig!” cried „ Puss Junior, who happened to look in the window just then. "And be sure it has a little pink nose and two little pink eyes,” added Tom Thumb, who had climbed up to the window gill “I will go to market and buy the pig if you will come with me,” she said. So off they started; but ah, dear me I they had gone only a little way when she suddenly remembered that she had left the little, crooked sixpence on the mantelpiece; so Puss Junior ran back and got it for her, and after that they traveled along merrily until they reached the market place. There were lots of little pigs, and it took the old woman a long time to decide which one to buy, but at last Tom Thumb picked out a very pretty one. But, goodness me I what trouble there was to drive little piggie home. He always wanted to go the wrong way, and when they came to a stile, why, he just wouldn’t go over it Try as the old woman might, she couldn’t make him. DELIGHTFUL HAIR WASH You can enjoy a delightful shampoo with very little effort and for a very trifling cost, if you get from your druggist's a package of canthrox and dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply It to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. Your 6hampoo is now ready. Just pour a little at a time on the scalp and hair until both are entirely covered by the daintily perfumed preparation that thoroughly dissolves and removes every bit of dandruff, excess oil and dirt. After rinsing ithe hair dries quickly with a fluffiness that makes it seem heavier than it is, [and takes on a rich luster and a softLness that makes arranging it a pleasure ■^-Advertisement,

Neither could Puss Junior. As for Tom Thumb, he was knocked over trying to head piggie off and gave up the job in disgust. So the old woman went to find some one to help her. At last she met a dog. So she said to the dog: “‘Dog, dog, bite pig; Piggy won't get over the stile, And I shan’t get home tonight.’ ” But the dog wouldn’t help, so the old woman called to Puss and Tom, and told them to come along, as she was going to find somebody to help her, if it took all nifeht. And by and by she met a stick. So she said: ‘ “Stick, stick, beat dog Dog won’t bite pig; Piggy won’t get over the stile, And I shan’t get home tonight.’ ” But the stick wouldn’t help. “It’s a crabbed old oak or a knotty old elm,” said Puss Junior. Never i mind, we’ll not give up.” And then they j all went on a little further until they came to a meadow where a barnfire was burning. The flames crackled merrily, and seemed to say, “Why don’t you ask us to help ?” So the old woman climbed over the fence and said to the fire: “ ‘Fire, fire, burn stick; Stick won’t beat dog; Dog won’t bite pig; Piggy won’t get over the stile, And I shan’t get home tonight.’ ” But the fire would not, and then the old woman didn’t know what to do “Don’t give up hope,” said Puss Junior, “perhaps we will find some kind person to help us yet.” And in the next story you shall hear what happened.—Copyright, 192 L.
