THE MOTHERS FUND,
Mrs. Hopkins Plan to Help the Junior
ReDuhIic.

Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, who made the
suggestion that mothers in this city should
subscribe one dollar each TO fund to build
the much needed building at the National
Junior Republic, has met with an imme-
date response to her appeal. Already s160
have been sent her for the noble purpose
she conceived, and 1t is certain that more
dollars will come in constantly increasing
numbers. Mrs Hopkins thought, and it
looks as if other mothers agree with her.
that every woman who has held a loved
child on her lap would be willing to con-
tribute one dollar or even more to the up
building of boys who were without the pro-
tecting, fostering care of a mother. Mrs.
Hopkins has a way of carrying out what
ever she starts to carry out. and she is Ger
tain to succeed in a noble work of this
kind. Mrs. Hopkins is receiving contribu-
tions to the fund at her home, 1926 Massa-
chuSettS avenue.
