In the winter and a good part of the summer months the wife sews . by the day and earns a meager living. Their home is little more than a one-room cement hole, with a roof that leaks as though it were not there and a dirt floor that runs to puddles when it rains for any length. The whole structure measures about 8x10 feet. . , . . . , , . Gets Nickel from Friend.
