FAMILY IN WILDS
ON CAPITAL’S EDGE
Mother and Brood Struggle
for Livelihood in Woods.
Need sl6 Weekly.
There still are stretches of wooded.
Sparsely populated cdlintry in the
District of Columbia where the in
habitants are subjected to most of the
hardships of pioneer Winters, little
modified by the closeness of the great '
city.
In one of these districts the Decern- j
her wind shakes the rafters of an mi
painted, ramshackle house, bare but
clean inside, where a mother and four
children are fighting for existence.
Under conditions which it may be
difficult to visualize as existing in a
metropolitan area.
She has hern driven here because
rent is cheap and she can cut firewood |
from the nearby woods. The nearest
schoolhouse is a mile away, and is j
reached by a wood road, along which
there are few houses.
floes to Meet Children.
Thonias, 6 years old. and his 5-year
old sister, coming home from school
in the gathering twilight, are afraid
of the goblins that dwell in the tangle
of trees and vines through which they
must pass. The mother goes half way
to meet them every afternoon. The
two other children are too young to
go to school. Their mother can’t
leave them alone, and when she has *
an Opportunity to earn a day's pay
she has a difficult time finding a
neighbor to look after them.
She has left her husband. He j
Used to drink and beat her. He never)
gave her enough of his earnings to
run the home. Conditions became in
tolerable. Nobody knows where he is. j
The Juvenile Court hns heen trying to
find him for a year now. There isn't
much likelihood that they ever will.
sl6 Weekly Needed as Aid.
The mother is able to earn only an !
occasional day's pay. Sixteen dollars
a week, or $832 for a year, will enable l
her to keep her family together and
get on her feet. It would he a fine
Christmas present. She is going to
get it, for the Associated Charities,
who have investigated her character,
circumstances and necessary budget, j
consider the case worthy of a place ,
among the 14 opportunities for this
Tuletide.
Conti ihutions for this or any of the!
other opportunities may he sent to the j
Associated Charities, 1022 Eleventh
street, or to The Evening Star.
Two Opportunities Closed.
Two of the 14 Christmas opportuni- j
ties offered by the Associated Chari j
ties are already closed, according to
a report which comes from the School j
Service House at noon today. These!
fortunate families whose care is now j
assured through 1928 are Nos. 1 and.
14 representing youth and age. re- i
speetively. No. 1 is the young widow
withs our children, one of whom is an
Infant in arms, and No. 14 is the cou
ple “in the evening of life.”
No. 1 is taker, by a man and his
wife who write: “Opportunity No. 1.
the mother and four little children,
whose husband died in the Summer,
especially appeals to us. If this case ,
has not been spoken for we would like '
to take care of it with a subscription
of $936. the amount asked for.” The
gift for No. 14 comes from the
same source as last year, when this
aged couple was appealed for under
the same number.
Thanks to Plate Printers’ Local No.
2. which hns sent a subscription of
S7O to toe divided among the oppor
tunities, each of the 14 families has to
day something to its credit. This
union has been a stanch supporter of
the fund for ipany years.
Even before the Christmas opportu
nity list was published, old friends of
this annual appeal began sending in
inquiries asking when the list would
appear. One man who has heen a
regular contributor for many years
writes: “Inasmuch as I will be out of
the city for the next two weeks, I
will appreciate it if you will send me
copies of the various opportunities
that you will need aid for through
1928 and give me the benefit of your
suggestions as to which are particular
ly deserving of support.” This scon
tributor requests that the list he sent
to him at the address which he gives

Sickness, which in the experience

so often for dependency, plays the
leading role in this family of father,

up his work for a while on this ac
count. He is now employed again,
hut as his work is seasonal and his
health precarious he cannot earn
enough throughout the year to pro
vide for the needs of his family, par
ticularly in view of the fact that every
member, except the baby, needs
physical attention.

accomplished for them under a proper
health program. The visitor, who

“Shakespeare's Voyage,” by
French Royalist Leader,
Placed on Index.
Ry the Associated Press.
ROME, December 17.—Pope Pius |
! has struck another blow at leaders :
of the French royalist movement bv
j confirming the action of the supreme
; congregation of holy office in plac
, insr I.eofl Dandet's "Shakespeare's
! Voyage" on the index expurgatorius.
The book, one of the fiery inon- |
archist leader's earliest works, had
just been re-edited in de luxe j
editions and was having a tremen- i
dons holiday sale not only among j
| adherents of the royalist party in i
I France tout among the general public |
I as well when the supreme congre
! gation, which has just concluded its j
j sessions here, put it on the forbidden
list.
"Shakespeare’s Voyage’* is a story
of an imaginary roving trip across
Europe by the Hard of Avon, it is
written in a vein of robustious
humor, in which Shakespeare, listed
its "Master Will,” listens to all man
ner of men. The passage which pro- !
voked interdiction by the supreme
congregation is understood to be a
speech put in the mouth of a certain
character which assails the clergy
and church in a most violent manner.
Daudet, who previously had been
attacked for this passage, always
replied that it did not represent his
own sentiments, but merely those of
a fictitious personage.
(Daudet's monarchist newspaper
IVAction Franeaise, was put on the
index some time ago because of
violent criticism of the Vatican.)
