Ollie Johnson. Bible records shows her 10 years old. She goes into the Anniston Mfg. Co. regularly to help her sister Annie spin. Her mother admits it also. Says all the children learn to spin that way. Ollie said: "I have kep up 3 sides for Annie." Sister Annie's Bible record says 12 years old last February. Has a steady job here; runs 4 sides. Mother said Annie learned to spin at Pell City Mill before she was 12, and thought it was all right. Their step-father said: "I'm so porely, thinkin of movin where the climate is better." The whole family works. See 8846. Location: Anniston, Alabama.

Mother and two children, flood refugees in the schoolhouse at East Prairie, Missouri

Mind your own knitting. These little girls of Ypres, who belong to the Junior Red Cross of America school, sat up nights over their knitting when they received a shipment of American yarn. They made sweaters, mufflers, caps, sox and stockings, not only for themselves but for other and younger children. In this war torn region girls young in years seem old with hardships and bitter experiences. In their noisy wooden shoes they clatter around doing hard tiresome work and even drudgery, always smiling and happy. "La guerre est fini" and that is the thought that brightens their hapless lives
