“I’ve never seen such enthusiasm for real, genuine work as our women’s gym class shows,” declares Ellsworth (Pep) Krantz, physical director at the Indianpolis Athletic Club.

No. 11, in today’s list of needy folk. Every day The Times will print a list and descriptions of families, secured through the Christmas Clearing House which seeks to prevent duplication of gifts. Surely one of these families will be the very one you’d like to bring happiness to on Christmas day, giving your gifts personally. We will list them by number and when you have chosen the family you want to care for, call The Times Santa Claus, Main 3500 and the name and address of the family will be given you. Then its up to you to pack and deliver a basket of goodies and whatever else you would like them to have and be their good Santa Claus. The Times will not deliver any presents. Yesterday Mrs. Roy W. Rafert, 81 Sanders St. took family 10, to play Santa to; Mrs. E. W. Walker, 1534 N. Senate Ave., decided on family 9 and Mrs. Rose Berry, 335 N. Denny St., called for family 7. Families 6 and 13, were also taken, so these folks will be sure of having a real Christmas. For a Happy Day 'Your Christmas will be the happier for having befriended one of these less fortunate families: 3. A young colored widow is ill with tuberculosis, and unable to provide Christmas dinner a little clothing and toys for her boy of 3 and girl of 11. Recommended by the Family Welfare Society. 8. Six dark-eyed little folks in stairsteps, hoping the American Santa Claus will remember them. Their father was a good craftsman in his native country, but there is no particular demand for his type of work here, and he is reduced to a trefcie that makes a bare living. Dinner, toys and clothing for the children will be appreciated. The girls are 12, and 2 and the boys, 11. 8, 6 and 4. Family Welfare Society has been befriending them. 11. After a long illness father has just returned to work, and prospects for Christmas aren’t bright. Besides the mother there are six children, girls, 12, 10, 7 and 1 and boys, 8 and 4. 13. A widow has been working at the washtub to support her four children. Now she has obtained light work in a factory, but the wages don’t go far. The 16-year-old daughter, her chief assistart, lost her job and is keeping house. The | boys are 12 and 14. and there is a girl .3. Food and warm clothing deI sired.

dren. The girls are 4. 6, and 10 and the baby boy is 1. Grandfather lives with them and does what he can to help. Stockings and little gifts for the children, and a basket of food are recommended by the Salvation Army. 15. First it was a broken arm, then pneumonia set in, so the father of this family has no margin for Christmas gifts. Life was hard enough before, and the Salvation Army has had to help them. The girls, aged 1 and 4, and the boy, 8, need clothing. Stockings, underwear, and mittens will help. Then there is the question of food and playthings. 16. Two days’ work a week for the mother, and a small compensation while the father is recovering from an accident that broke his leg and led to othec complications, are the only income this family of five is receiving. The boys are 10 and 14, the girl is 4. The Salvation Army has given food and clothing, but the needs continue. The mother wants some house dresses. They all need warm clothing. A dinner and little gifts would be well received, too. These poodle have excellent recommendations from every one for whom they have worked, and never applied for any outside aid until the accident. 17. A tiny boy, just a month old, was born into this home some time after the accident that broke his father's health and may result in his death. The compensation allowance made to the father is not enough to reach all the way. The other children are gfrls of 3, 6 13, and 14, and a boy 5. Clothing for all the children, and food for the family, are needed. Recommended by the Salvation Army. BAZARS TO BE HELD Calendar Circle of Southern Avenue Baptist Church will hold two Christmas bazars Saturday.

NO ROOM IN MIAMI FOR WORKING GIRLS Y. W. C. A. Warns Stenographers, Nurses, Bookkeepers, Cashiers and Untrained Help

By ALLENE SUMNER NEA Service Writer MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 10. —To speak bluntly, there is no room for the working girl in Miami now. Lait summer, it is true, a good stenographer or typist could command any salary. Feminine youngsters just out of business school, to whom spelling and punctuation were .deep and bloody mysteries, were being paid $75 a week. But that time is gone and will never return. The employment bureau of the Miami Y. W. C. A. keeps its finger on the pulse of the job situation here as does no other organization. Not a girl comes into the city without a room or a job who does not come to the Y. W. sooner or later. And the Y. W., in consequence, has abandoned all its “peace time” operations, and is doing nothing but emergency work day and night for these girls. The Y. W. will show you figures like this: In October. 1.393 girls asked for jobs. Only 425 got anything at all. Many went home after pawning everything but their return tickets. In that month 669 stenographers sought work. Only 155 got it. There were eighty-nine typists ap--piying for work. Eighteen were placed. Ninety-five bookkeepers asked jobs and eleven were chosen. Thirteen of the 172 clerks who came here for jobs got them. Os 140 girls who asked for hotel, restaurant and institutional work twenty-three were placed. Two out of twenty-three telephone operators obtained work. Out of 110 girls who said they could be seamstresses, nurse maids, cashiers, elevator girls—anything, nine got jobs. No Place for Them . "Hundreds of girls come to the office who beam and say they can do just anything,' ’’ said Miss Mamie Raeburn, Y. W. employment manager. “But Florida has no place for the girls who can do ‘just anything.’ Miami needs specialists only and very few of them. “Most girls think that if they are willing to leave the office world and go into housework for a winter, they are all set. But badly as Florida needs experienced domestics, it cannot use these ’l’ll do anything’ girls.” The Y. W. has prepared a form letter which it sends out to the thousands of girls who write in ask-

ing about employment conditions. It sets forth such facts as these: Housework pays from sl2 to $lB i week, with room a ndboard. Cooks sl2 to S2O a week, room and boar-1. Nursemaids, $lO to sls a week, witn room and board. And dozens ot graduate nurses who were earning $75 a week are glad to get these jobs. Stenographers get S2O to $35 a week. A room alone costs S2O a week. Typists, sl2 to S2O a week. “Stay at Home” Clerical work without typing—no jobs at all. There is no demand for tutors or doctors and doctors' assistants. “We advise those well located at home to remain there,” says the letter. "Living conditions in Miami are high in normal times, and this year accommodations are almost impossible to obtain at any price. “Under no circumstances should any one come down here unless she has sufficient money to meet expenses. "A few stenographers, waitresses and efficient domestic help can do it. Children’s nurses, companions .managers of apartments and boarding houses, tearoom supervisors and tutorsl cannot.” The waitresses here are unlike waitresses in any other city. Educated Waitresses I got an inkling of it when I saw swarms of them going home from work with books under their arms. They looked more like college students. To be sure, waitresses only get from $8 to $lO a week —but there are meals and tips. And the tips are tips! The waitresses have seen to that. These erstwhile school teachers and stenographers and secretaries wrote to the newspapers and their letters were published. They called men who ate $1.50 breakfasts and left 10cent tips "table hogs.” Tips increased. ONE IN AUTO INJURED Ernest Branum. 1525 Shepherd St., was suffering from head and shoulder injuries today. He was a passenger in the auto of Ernest Boswell, 1326 S. Harding St., struck by a Mars Hill street car at Tibbs Ave. and Minnesota flt. Wednesday night. Boswell and Ralph Brown, 107 N.
