Mrs. Anna Godfrey of Chicago, 38 years old, wife of a bed-ridden husband and mother of four chil- dren, the youngest four years old, dressed in her husband's clothes, cut her hair and walked ten miles to get work as a farmhand, Fight hours after she left her alley cottage home she was found moaning and exhausted on a bench in fashionable Oak Park. Judge J. R. Caverly, before whom she was brought for mas- quéerading in male attire, dis- charged her, “You are a brave woman,” he said, “and deserve praise rather than punishment for your act.” “T was able to earn only a few dollars a week; that with the $2.50 my oldest boy earned bare- ly kept us,’ said Mrs. Godfrey to the Judge. ‘Then I told my hus- band that something would have to be done. I decided to get a job on a truck farm, thinking that if I did well I could bring the family out and that would be bet- ter for the children than to stay in the alley. I didn’t have a cent of money, so I started out to walk. For ten miles I went along, rest- ing when my feet got and tired, and then starting out again.” sore WOMEN IN CHINA They Are Starting to Share in the Revolution, Too.
