Urged by the public address system to sock their stray charges at the societys headquarters, anxious parents and tcailiers stood In line for hours until policemen or Fair attendants pushed their way through the crowd with their weeping chnrges. Older children who knew where they lived were given carfare and sent home. Younger ones were comforted by the young women In charge of the clearing house" and an harassed stuff of overworked volunteer assistants.
