ltable organizations can investigate their condition. Sickness and distress, too are 'not strangers. This picture of human misery is not the only one in that section of the city. There are others, but the scene Is about the same. It has' been told and retold so often that some refuse to listen or refuse to believe what they read. . Fathers Need Work. Professional beggars? No. Any one doubting the veracity of charity and social workers needs only to take the trouble of wading through drifts of snow and enter homes or shacks in some sections of Riverdale. Heads of families who are able are at work today, and likely will be while the snow lasts, but at that, it is not steady employment and it will be several days before money can be obtained to buy bread and potatoes. Luxuries are not wauted, for they are unknown in these homes. The attendance at the Whitewater Fchool today was cut in half. Yesterday only one-third of the 315 pupils were able to make their way to school. Mothers and teachers are able to give you the reason in a few words. It Is because the many children haven't shoes to wear. Last Loaf Eaten. "I'm doing everything I can to keep my family together," said Nettie Hart, North Sixteenth street, "but the battle with this winter has proved the worst. In other years we seemed to have enough to eat and enough fuel to keep the house fairly warm, but this season we have been able to keep only

one fire going, and that only part of the time. We ate all the bread we had this morning." Adam Bowsman, 806 North Sixteenth street, is unable to work, because his eyesight is extremely bad. His wife declared that they had no coal and that they had been burning boxes given them by a tea company. Fuel was ordered for the family. At Thomas Deaver's home, 802 North Sixteenth street, there are six small children. Mr. Deaver is unable to work and his wife takes in washings. She says it is Mi up-hill proposition. She has been forced to turn to charity and ask for assistance. Fight for Lives-. In other north end homes men and women and children are actually upon the verge of starvation. Still they battle on in the fight to exist they don't expect or hope to live. Charges have been made that statements regarding the deplorable conditions have been grossly exaggerated, and that hysterical women, seeing one child without good shoes,: have spread the report that conditions are awful. Persons attacking the charity of these women know nothing about conditions prevailing in the north end. Prof. D. I). Ramsey, principal of the Whitewater school, said today that while many children in the school have clothing which will keep them warm, many do not have proper shoes and for this reason refuse to attend school. He reiterated his statement published in The Palladium a few days ago to the effect that many students come to school without their breakfasts. ' Teacher Speaks. "There can be bo exaggeration about conditions here," said Miss Margaret Rush, a teacher In the building. "Nothing said concerning the families and .TJPiJs can be overdrawn. .My heart goes out to tbiem in their suffering, and I, with ov'Jier-teachers, have been doing wJiat I can tb alleviate the suffering. . . "As they have no place at home to bathe, we are endeavoring to have baths placed in this building which they ma.r use. I believe this is one of the most jmportaut proposed improvements wlNich the school board can make' Prof. Ramsey said many pupils need medical attei'iion, and he said he had recommended to the school board that a luitt h room of some sort be established in the building.

Turn Back Carriers

The blizzard's chaotic effect was felt in the post office, where mail had been received from only two trains at 10 o'clock this morning. Cincinnati mail arrived at. a late hour, while Chicago and western mail was hours behind the schedule, and it was feared postal matter to that city would not clear out of Richmond until late this afternoon. The city delivery, other than late, was not hampered by the storm. The fact that there was only one delivery yesterday, prevented suffering among the carriers. Deliveries to the business sections were made with regularity, although the amount of mail was small. Rural carriers could not make the trips. George F. Culbertson, of Route No. 6, started shortly after 9 o'clock this morning, but was unable to continue more than a mile and a half out of the city where huge drifts sent him back. He reported that in some places

the traces of fences had been obliterated. In the places where the roads enter cuts the snow has drifted level with the grade on either side Carries Mail on Back. Carrier Leonadas Parks, Route No. 2, southeast of the city was unable to get his outfit through the drifts this morning. So with a shovel in one

hand and his mail sack over his shoul- j der he walked to the city from his home in Henley Road. He returned shortly before noon with the mail for his neighbors. i

An attempt was made to follow the National Road east as far as Westville, but it could not be learned whether the carrier got through. On some routes, carriers were able to follow the main roads for a mile or two, but they could not travel the side thoroughfares. A number of the carriers started on their routes late this morning, but returned within an hour.

tors of the city schools expressed his surprise over the little trouble experienced in heating most of the buildings of the city, as the weather of yesterday was the most severe that local schools have had to contend with for many years.

CELEBRATE BLESSING OF FOURTEEN STATIONS

Twenty per cent of the students of the city schools were unable to attend session yesterday, on account of the cold and snow. The attendance yesterday was the lowest for years, several schools holding classes with but one or two pupils present. The absent list at the high school numbered 150 names, while at the Garfield school, practically the same number was missing. Grade schools of the city had an attendance averaging 50 to 70 percent. Inability to heat several rooms at

the Starr school caused the closing of two rooms and the dismissal of about a hundred scholars. The temperature of the room stood at the 45 mark. Failure on part of the heating apparatus made it necessary to dismiss these rooms after an hour of schoolwork. St. Andrew's and St. John's parochial schools reported a fair at tendance. Hibberd Dismissed 100. Hibberd school dismissed one room of about 100 students. Trouble at the Vaile, Baxter, Sevastopol, Whitewater schools did not. cause the dismissal of students although many suffered from the cold. The Kindergarten, at the Hibberd school, was attended by nine sturdy youngsters who braved the cold, this being the smallest number of children ever in the class. Ed Dingley, superintendent of janl-

Sunday evening the St. Mary's Catholic church congregation celebrated the blessing of the fourteen Stations at the St. Mary's church. Father Fulgence Meyer, of Indianapolis, was present and assumed charge of the ceremonies. The fourteen Stations are fourteen different scenes depicting the accusation of Christ and events following until death on the cross. Assisting in the services were Father Hyland, of Eaton, O., Father Roell. of the St. Andrews Church and Father Duffy.

For the first time this winter the mercury dropped two counts below the zero mark. This happened this morning between the hours of 5 and 6 o'clock. Records at the pumping station indicate that the present storm is the worst that has struck Wayne county

A WINTER COUGH A stubborn, annoying, depressing cough hangs on, racks the body, weakens the lungs, and often leads to serious results. The first dose of Dr. King's New Discovery gives relief.

every family; it is certainly the best of all medicines for coughs, colds or I lung trouble." Good for children's coughs. Money back if not satisfied, i
