LOS ANOELEB HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER If, 1906. GIVE THANKS TO KIND DONORS ASSOCIATED CHARITIES PLANS NEXT CAMPAIGN During the Year There Were 1829 New Casee Reported, 2088 Visits Made and 738 Sick Call! Answered ln the thirteenth annual report given by the Los Angeles Associated Carltles a large amount of charity work la enumerated, resulting largely from the San Francisco disaster. H. W. Frnnk, president nf the association, iravn In his annual nridress to the members nl the BMOCIatIOD some of the agential points of the past year, giving much credit to the Catholic Eenevoieni society and the Bethlehotn Institutional eliuivli.

He said In part: "It Is with great pleasure that the officers of your society thank you nnd the generous public for your liberality In supplying funds to conduct our work. But let us once more urge you to be or the noble work of charily during the coming yenr. "A growing city has growing responsibilities. We ask that you not only help us with your own contribution, but give your influence with your and neighbors. It should bo the pride of every self-sustaining citizen of our fair city to say: 'I am a member of the Associated Asks Liberality "Many of you have been most fortunate in the great boom and general prosperity that have attended this section of California during the past five years and can well afford to be liberal in your charities.

"It is not enough that a man shall give sympathy. Let him give of his means and prove his sympathy. Many a man really thinks he gives his share to charity who in fact knows little and cares even less of what great distress often obtains In this God blessed country. Give, and be thankful that you have wherewith to give." Lured by Climate In the work accomplished during the year Secretary T. J.

Stuart said: "Every city has its peculiar burden problem. Ours Is in the great number of persons who come here sick and unable to work. They have been lured here by the climate and are hopeful of recovery. Most of their money has been spent In the vain Eearch for health, and many of them are entirely without means when they arrive here. The City's Problem "How to help and care for this Increasing class Is certainly a problem, and one that must be solved in the interest of humanity and our city.

"The Associated Charities has two chief relationships, namely, toward organizations doing charitable work and toward individuals in distress. Its business is to promote such co-operation among charitable organizations, that the phases of human need will be adequately met, and this without duplication of effort. "The association endeavors always to have a reasonable and intelligent program of aid In each case. Its workers try to have clearly In mind the successive steps that are to be taken in order to accomplish the desired end and the part that each Individual and charitable organization can best perform for the help of tl.e family. Co-operation Needed "We would emphasize co-operation as an essential force when any charity can be administered either effectively or economically except in cloae working relation with every other charity.

"We are coming more and more to appreciate the fact that the one great need of the destitute and unfortunate is human sympathy and friendship. The test of true charity is not what is given, but the way and spirit in which we have accomplished the desired end." During the year 1829 new cases were reported, 2088 visits were made and 738 sick calls answered.

SURGEONS MAY MAKE BOY GOOD HORSE'S KICK IS BLAMED BY BURGLAR Since Mishap of Year Ago Ten.year. old Norman Hair Has Been Three Crimes Alleged Norman Hair, 10 years of age, the youngest burglar who has been taken to the police station for months, was arrested last night while robbing the residence of W. I.

Allen at 1732 East Thirty-first street. Norman admits the crime and also boasts of the fact that this is not hie first offense. Six months ago he was arrested for stealing $20 from a woman, whose house at Alamcda and Slauson streets he broke into and robbed one dark night. He was sentenced to the detention home for this act and served a month. His second offense was when he robbed a house directly across the street from the scene of his first crime and obtained $13.

He was sentenced a second time for this and was kept at the home a month and a half. Yesterday afternoon he borrowed twenty cents from his father, who is employed in a brick yard, and came downtown to sell newspapers. When he had finished with them he had 40 cents. This he decided to spend so purchased candy and popcorn until it was all gone. Then he feared to return home without the money.

At last a way appeared open to him whereby he could get sufficient money to repay his father. He walked from and Main streets where he had been selling newspapers to the home of Mr. Allen and then decided to rob it. He broke open a front window and crept In. The noise of the breaking glass awakened Mr.

Allen, who had retired, and he hastily arose from bed nd slipped down stairs. Turning on the light suddenly he was surprised to see a small barefooted boy staring up at him. The lad had not stolen anything, as Mr. Allen had reached him too quickly. A year ago Norman was kicked in the head by a horse and since that time ho has been, wayward.

It is thought the kick has affected his brain and prompts him to commit the thefts. I It is probable an operation will be performed in an effort to relieve him of the wish to commit them. He lives at the corner of Long Beach and Vernon avenues. Hlb parents were notified of his arrest He was taken to the detention 2WWf per cent discount for ,10 days only on all, PIANOS at F. W.
