Wallace H. Wilson, the new su perintendent, wants the people of Omaha to know that his othce ex tends a helping hand to all who are in trouble or are oppressed. "We don't pretend to be cure-alls, nor do we claim that we have found a new panacea for the ills and evils of mankind," said Mr. Wilson, "but we believe our office can be of valu able service to nlany who need kindly advice and aid. Gets General Cases. Mr. Wilson has assigned Mrs. Ida Levin of the department to attend to all cases of a general nature, the scope of these cases being almost without limit. A woman called at the welfare board offices this week, crying, and she made it known that a young woman has been telephoning to her husband. "She works in the same building with my husband and she calls him up to take her home," " sobbed the aggrieved wife. "I would laugh instead ot cry, renlied Mrs Levin, "because I had such an attractive husband that some other woman would want to get him. And I would be no clever that no other woman couia get him," 'Do you really mean that? asked the wife, her face brightening. Mrs. Levin explained that some "good neighbor" informed the wife about the young woman and the husband. A widow with $1,500 and a 5-year- old son called with the information that she did not know what would be best in the way of an investment. Her case was analyzed and it was determined that the best thing, for her would be to buy a small busi ness where she could sell ice cream, magazines and other articles. Another woman whose husband has occasional employment wanted ad vice as to how she could earn money with 'which to help the family ex chequer. She was an efficient cook, so Mrs. Levin advised her to engage in home baking, which she has done with promise of success. Free Legal Aid. Free legal aid is administered in mank cases and sometimes wages are collected. Estranged husbands and wives are brought together and sometimes reconciliations are ob tained. "I am as mad as a hornet," ex claimed a woman yesterday when she entered the office and dropped into a chair. Asked to explain, she stated that, as she was about to cross an intersection a motorist honked his horn with vehemence and caused her to run across the intersection, where upon the motorist laughed in ghoul ish glee. Had His Number. "I want you to go over to the court house with me and help me get that man's name so I can prosecute him. I have his number, the woman asserted. Mrs. Levin smoothed the ruffled feathers and advised against a prosecution. Complaint or Compliment? Martins Ferry, July 30.
