CONTRIBUTIONS FOR
The CAR TICKET FUND
Getting Ready for the Heavy
Demands Expected
If Next Few Weeks Prove Very Warm,
Present Amount in Treasury Would
Soon Be Expended

The demands upon the resources Of
the car ticket fund are likely to be
greater during the next few weeks than
at any time since the fund was started,
as the remarkably comfortable weather
that has prevailed up TO the present
time is rot likely to continue. With eF-
cry recurrence Of the hot spell, the dis
tress of the unfortunate is accentuated-
Many woman and children OF the city
are unable to obtain any relief from the
insuTerable surroundings OF their habi-
tatlons other than is provided IN the 1T
tie outings made possible by the exist
ence Of the fund The relief that has
been afforded during the summer has
been inestimable. IN several special
cases that have been watched carefully
by the dispensers CT the fund, because Of
the critical condition OF the persons at
the time they we're first brought to the
attention Of the egents OF the fund. the
fresh air fund has brought them back
again TO comfortable health.
No restrictions are placed on the
agents in the use of the tickets which are
supplied them. They are impressed only
with the purpose Of placing the tickets
where they viii do the most good. IN
this way a series Of outings has been
provided for those in most need of them
It Is conf1dentaIly asserted that in no
other way could 50 much good come from
so little money.
The fund now amounts to a fraction
under $500. this mornings figures be-
/ ing $794.33 This sum represents 19. 06s
