By EVA NRALON HAMILTON
Huddled together In an old tent on
th aouth aid of town, while the
montn of December progresses, a
young mother and her two Uttl boys
are trying to keep warm. As fog set
tles over the city, blurring holloUy
oolored lights and bringing promise
of winter festivities to many, they
shiver In the cold and dampnaat,
which penetrate their canvas. They
wer found In their very humble
habitat last week by a group of Parent-Teacher
workera, who are en
deavoring to Improve their living
quarters before the arrival of Christ
mas, that the two little boys may "
llev again that "there la a Santa
Claus." .
Kettles for th mother to us n
cooking, some food, a broom to sweep
the dingy carpet, which Toots the
tent: a quilt, a pillow to ease their
sleep Insplte of winter lnds and
some olothea were taken to the family
Friday.
The mother, In voicing her thanka,
explained that ehe did not have to
have the things, that she waa "gottlng
along." but that she was very grate
ful. Two beds crowded together In the
tent were covered with a few torn
quilts, which formed a futile barrier
to stormy weather.
A worn out stove In a corner was
sighing as a small flamo played about
wet wood, more of which la stored
outside the tent. But the mother In
suited she was getting by. "I have
plenty of potatoes." she stated. But
when questioned about the ohlldren
she admitted they were getting little
milk, no meat, prior to th previous
day, when a woman called with some,
no butter, no sweets.
Asked for an explanation of her
circumstances, she said that her hus
band, a soldier In the United States
army, had beaten her until ah had
to leavo him, had refused to auppott
her; and had left for another state,
taking with him their little daugh
ter, aged five.
The two boys, ageri nine and seven,
who are small for thlr years, ar re
ceiving a hot lunch each day at the
Washington school, but are badly In
need of warm clothing.
The thing most needed at the pres
ent time, however, local women who
have atarted the move to aid the
family, stated yesterday, Is some lum
ber to build a decent house for the
three. Local men have volunteered
to build a small house If some one
will donate some lumber.. If the lum
ber cannotrbe obtained another tent
to cover the wood supply will be wel
comed. Anyone with something to
give Is asked to notiry the Mail Trib
une. Anyone with possible donations of
meat Is also asked to got In touch
with the Mail Tribune, where the
workers, who ' prefer to remain un
known, will be notified.
The mother stated yesterday that
she was anxious to regain custody of
he.- little daughter, feeling that, what
ever her circumstances, she should
keep her threo ohlldren together. She
voiced her desire, however, In a futile
tone, which expressed a complete In
ability to do anything about It.

tives In Siskiyou county. He has
been away since three daya before
the filing of the first petition for
the recount, which was withdrawn
when It became known service could
not be obtained upon Schermerhorn.
Attorney Frank DeSouxa said that
Sch'jrmerhom had conferred with
himself and Kelly & Kelly, "but he
had not aeen Mr. Schermerhorn for
three weeks or a month, and had no
Idea where he la." Attorney DeSouza
said no action was planned until
echermerhorn returned.
Attorney Neff takes tne position
the citation, can be served on Scher
merhorn before or after he assumes
office and the law amply provides for
a recount. After the citation has
been served the recount can be or
dered "not sooner than three days,
nor more than seven days.' Attor
ney Neff said It would be a matter
of short work "once the citation was
served, but the delay Is now due to
Inability to find Mr. Schermerhorn."
Friends of Schermsrhora say he ts

friends In fffffV'ysu county and they
expect him. back t&e coming week.
He will be sworn into office. along
with other new county officials, Mon
day, January 3. The law requires
that Schermerhorn be sworn in upon
that date.
Ths recount petition asserts that
381 ballots, "more or less," were er
roneously - discarded by election
boards, and that Jennings, the write
In" . candidate, received the largest
number of votes. The petition alleges
election by 07 votes. Schermerhon,
by the official count, won by 123
votes and a certificate of election
waa Issued thereupon.

how to find it. And if you don't know, we'll tell you. Turn your
