The fourth is in the summer col- ony of the Joint. The girl just had double pneumonia, and there- fore was the first selected among the children. It happens to be Friday eve, but the cold stove is untouched and empty. No thee of food or smell of cooking. The father, we learn, has been an invalid for the past six years. Ile was taken to a hospital a few weeks ago and is not expected to live. "Final stages of T. B.," the woman whispers, as if keeping it from her brood. She is worn out herself, ill, and has been the sole support of the family for years. Her sister helps her occasionally, and furnishes the merchandise she sells. Fried herrings, There is not much demand for such luxuries lately. If she is lucky and has a good day she may earn 17 cents. The rent has not been paid for months; the landlord had mercy on them. But it cannot go on for ever, and they are fared with evic- tion. "What will they do?" She does not seem frightened. "I have no otrength left for any feelings any more," she said to me. Too Hungry to Eat The children looked ■ with curious (yes at a bag of food I held in my hand. Sandwiches and candy. "Would you like some of it?" and I offered it to the children. Only the baby took a piece, smelled it and started to cry. The older chil- dren did not touch it. "Tell them not to be bashful, to eat," I asked the mother. She looked at the chil- dren mournfully and assured me that they were not afraid or bash- ful. "They are good children," she said, "only too hungry to eat." And she went on explaining that they had had a piece of bread and her- ring already, and could eat no more. The herring filled them up, they got it only once a week, on Friday. With quiet dignity she as- sembled her children on the bed and allowed us to photograph them. "If you wish to photograph our misery you are welcome," she said, and added wistfully: "The help will coins too late for us—but some one elce might benefit ... " We left her home and proceeded to the house across the street. By that time a large crowd assembled downstairs and followed us on our way. Children, grown-up men— women and old people. There are so many people in those quarters with time on their hands. The slightest exitement is welcomed as an escape from dreaded reality. No escape from crowds once you enter any Jewish quarter in Po- land. The home we were looking for has been on the list of the Child-Care Department for a long while. At Krochmalna Street, Number 8. The head of the house, Chayem Borg, was not at home when we arrived. He is a young, prematurely gray man who spends his days looking for employment he cannot hope to find. His wife, mother of three children, lies hope- lessly ill of tuberculosis in the Sanatorium Bryjus in Otwoek. One child, a daughter, was sent away to the Medem Sanatorium for two months, which may give her a new lease on life. The child was very undernourished, and on the verge of tuberculosis. We found the two remaining children alone in the house. In a desolate attic room, bare of all living furniture; there they sat amidst carpenter tools and wooden shavings. "Where is your father?" we asked. "Looking for work," answered the little girl, and her brother whined: "Mother has been away a long time." The little sis- ter comforted him. "Who takes care of you chil- dren?" What a cruel question. I regret- ted it • the moment it passed my lips. "Grandmother," said the little girl, and added that the grand- mother was very old and weak herself. The little stove was cold and the dishes unused for a long time. The girl walked over to me and said apologetically that the dishes had not been washed in a long time because they were not in use. The children refused the sandwiches, but they did take the candy. The little girl saved her piece, while the boy chewed on his. Finally the child took a sandwich for her father. "He is very des- perate," she said "with mother so ill, and unable to find any work for no long." We inquired where the grand- mother was selling her pickles, and went looking for her. It started to pour in the meanwhile, and like the rest of the people I ran quickly into a nearby doorway for shelter. It was already crowded with peo- ple. The only one who did not care about the rain was an old woman, selling pickles. I stood there for a long while even after the first down- pour stopped. No one bought any pickles from her, and she stood there, as if carved in wood, her eyes no helpless and her hand so ready to serve. The sole support of a family—against whom war- fare is being waged.
