STATE AID WILL HELP
WESTERN IRELAND
OVERCOME DISTRESS
DUBLIN, Mar. 26.— (AP)T—All sec- j
lions of the Irish press agree in |
deprecating the exaggerated reports 1
published in England and aboard
of the distress along the western
seaboard. There is nothing to jus
tify accounts of famine. Famines
such as occurred in the past are
now declared to be impossible.'
Present means of communication
have made it easy to transport re
lief immediately to any district. For
months past government inspectors
have been at work fh the threatened
areas, and their reports have en
abled the government to meet the
situation promptly. These districts
have always lived on the border

line of want. The stanard of liv
ing is ^ery low, and, as The Irish
Times points out, it would in any
year be easy to describe places
where conditions of squalor could be
found as surely as they are found
in the London districts of Lime
house or Poplar.
The disturbances of the past five
years have caused a setback, and
the, sequence of two bad winters
has led to the present distress. There
is, even in the localities affected, ob
jection to any attemps to relieve the
situation merely by a policy of char
itable doles. What is wanted is
employment, and this the govern
ment measures are providing. The
work is mainly on road making and
the repair of piers, and the wages
paid are' from 21 to 24 shillings
weekly. Coal is supplied at six
pence a bag of 140 pounds.
Nearly 20,000 children are getting
a free meal daily, yet the decision
to make these meals free instead
of giving them at the lowest price
was not unanimous, so great is the
dread locally of a return to the old
practice of relieving distress by me
thods of pauperism. There is gener
al agreement that t lie government
department are handling the posi
tion effectively, and they have the
active cooperation of the local cler
gy and the principal inhabitants.

ENTERTAIN—BRIDGE PARTY
One of the most u ion; an*J enjoy
able parties ever pulled oft' In Sew
ard was given by Mr. and Mrs.
R. B. Heaston last night at their
home on Third avenue. The invita
tions called for a “Foolish Party,”
and were clever, and asked for an
swers. From tlie time .of entering
the first door down stairs there
was one continuous round of sur
prises—-such as ladies handkerchiefs
tacked to the floor, lead pencils
with rubber tips, platters of fruit
that wasn’t fruit, and many, many
other “sells” that seem too numer
ous to mention.
The ladies and gentlemen found
their partners in the unique manner
of answering conundrums. For in
stance one lady had, “What is it
that has three feet, no legs, but can
not walk,” and the gentleman hav
ing the answer, “a yard stick,” was
her table partner. During the even
ing’s play, Mayor Ray received a
wire from Mrs. Hardy of Tecumseh
asking him to take care of a party
of 400 tourists that she was sending
to Seward, and asking that they all
be cared for at one hotel; Mr. Bad
ger being present, assured the Ma
yor that the Van Gilder would be
at Mrs. Hardy’s disposal.
At midnight the guests lined up
in “two’s” and a delicious luncheon
was served in Cafeteria Style, each
guest was asked to take one of each
helping on the plates. What looked
like sandwiches were cakes, and
what appeared like cream puffs had
salad as filling, and the large wal
nuts certainly held surprises. The
high winners at Bridge were for la
dies, Mrs. Hinde, Miss Sexton and
Mrs. Ralph Reed; for gentlemen,
Mr. Ray, Gustive Borgen and Jo
seph Badger, first, second and third,
respectively. The thrid and consol
ation prizes were made up of such
! articles as shoe polish and other
j “things,” the low score going to
| Mrs. Swetman, Mrs. Leslie and Mrs.
| Roberts, and for gentlemen, low
i score to Henry Frost, Mr. Kyle and
: Hugh Dougherty, who received the
: main prizes which were very pretty
I and useful gifts.
The guests were given paper and
pencil and a guessing contest was
held, prizes going to Mrs. Swetman,
Mrs. Leslie and Mrs. Dougherty.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hinde and
Miss Sylvia Sexton received prizes
for the best acceptance letter to the
invitations sent out. Leon Urbach
also received a prize of a large
chocolate cake.
