ever, now and then the lied Crosa
and its generosity is made tho ob
ject of persons without principle.
A case last week set an example
when a young woman, who claimed
her home was in Chfco. Col., call
edt at the lied Cross nnd told MUw
Huberts a story of misfortune, how
fhe was traveling alone In an au
tomobile to join relatives In Chico.
She hud a small hnhy In arm,
t he father of which she cloimi'd
had deserted her. leaving her alone
in the world with no mm to whom
she could turn fur aid with tho
exception of charity.
Ml t8 Roberts listened to her
slory dry-eyed, havlnp heard others
of the same order, and casually
inquired how far her auto traveled
to n gallon of tiaaoline. Unhesi
tatingly, the young women replied
(hut 40 miles was the utmal aver
age. An unusual ear, thought Miss
Itoherts, but supplied her with a
small amount of funds fur gai. j
A idiort time later, au Ashland
game warden saw the name woman J
au dtwo men telling hard luck i
stories at a Talent service station.,
Tho men were ablcbodied and ap-i
parently believed a woman to be

Work Sought,
Traveling in an automobile, on
which tit ere was Mtltl an unpaid
balance of $300, a transient family
arrived In Medford last week und
immediately applied for aid at tlie
Red Cr'jtm upun their arrival, in
the city. The husband claimed ho
was an cx-aervlce man, a resident
of Oakland, Cal., and had attempt
ed to locale employment nil the
way from Oakland to -.Long view,
Wash. He was returning to Oak
land upon arriving here.
They left their home, a father,
a mother, and five children, lu the
faint hope uf finding better con
ditions north, and departed in the
thought if no work could be found,
an Interesting pleaturc trip would
at least be enjoyed. Upon being
unsuccessful In Long view, charity;
provided sufficient gasoline loj
Journey to Htayton, where tliey re-J
reived more gasoline, which look j
them to Kugenc. At Kugene they:
located more gun. and soon the
family found itself In Itoseburg,
small children were applicants for
charily late last year, she eauuiii
a ride from Kugene to firnnls l'a.s
and t here wus misinformed that
lted lllaff was a comparatively
.short distance away. Willi her
Iwo children she set out afoot, Imi
upon reaching Medford. the Red
Cross supplied her with funds to
buy a ticket back lo Kugene.
f The transient situation represents
only a port ion of l he Red t 'ross
work, which Includes charity for a
number of resident families who
havo been listed for years, and
for families who were once of
means but have heroine poverty
stricken through unforeseen cir
cumstances. They still have pride
and thch' names are known to only
a chosen few. There are only five
such families and are mostly old
i couple, deserted by friends and
kin, or too proud to call upon them
I for aid.
I The Red Cross is doing a won
derful work in Jackson county and
. those who contributed money In the
annual drive can feel Justified they
urn part of a great system to bring
Joy, food and often health to the
unfortunate.
