J. S. Sykes Confined to
Home for Several Days
Sykes was going home on a street
car Wednesday when he slipped and
fell, sustained a deep scalp wound.
Miss Anna Bourne, visitor for tin
Associated Charities, while calling ii
homes of the South Side on Thurs
day, met a girl crying. She iuquirct
into the case and learned that th(
tearful miss was grieved because sr.
many of her girl friends had Red
Cross buttons and she could not af
ford $1 for a membership. She lives
with her mother, these two being the
entire personnel of this home.
Miss Bourne quickly appreciated
the tragedy of the scene, so she took
52 and bought two memberships for
daughter and mother a,nd placed a
100-per cent Red Cross card in the
window, which made the girl so
happy that she almost cried in her joy.
She said that was the only Christmas
present she really wanted.
"And I just know that the girl was
sincere in the matter which was
weighing so heavily on her little
heart," remarked the Associated I har
ities worker.
That little incident serves to illus
trate the wide scope of the Christ
mas relief work which has been ad
