An old woman who has an income of $15 a week decided that she could live on $7.50.

She buys milk with the other $7.50 and goes to meet every train at one of the big stations with a basket filled with baby bottles, and she gives milk to every hungry-looking baby she sees.

Our American committeeman, Hoover, saw her in trouble the other day and asked her what was the matter.
She explained that the police would no longer admit her to the platform because she didn't belong to any relief committee.

He took her to headquarters and said: "Do you see this good old lady?
She puts you and me and everybody else to shame--do you understand ?" The old lady now gets to the platform.

Hoover himself gave $5,000 for helping stranded Americans and he goes to the trains to meet them, while the war has stopped his big business and his big income.
