RELIEVING DISTRESS
Although conditions generally are definitely better than they were a year ago, the Mayor's Metropolitan Kelief Committee1 and the Smith Family are still receiving a large number of requests for clothing, especially men's, and bedding. The secretary said today that the committee would be glad of parcels of clothing or bedding at any time as the demand exceeded the supplies coming in. The Smith Family would also be glad of parcels of books or magazines for circulation in the camps during the winter. Large numbers of books had been donated for that purpose during the last two years, and they were greatly appreciated by the men, who took care of them arid frequently rebound volumes that were wearing out.
