The Free Ice and Sick Baby Outing
Fund was given a big impetus today by
the hremon Of the city. The appeal in
behalf OF the sick babies met with a
quick response from their ranks, and
in nearly every house a 1O-cent sub
scription was started voluntarily
Many OF the houses completed their
lists, one OF them making it a 20-cent
subscription, and forwarded the money
to the fund.
Among other contributors today were
former Senator Michael T. Barrett and
Colonel Edwin w. Hine, secretary, and
Harry C. Stevenson, assistant secretary
of the Public Service Corporation;
Hahne & Co. and L. s. Plaut & Co.
Every dollar means at least ten days
of ice for sick family or an outing to
Coney Island, which will also give the
tired and overworked mother an out
ing. which she needs perhaps as much
as the baby.
