GENEROUS RESPONSE GIVEN

All plans are made and arrangements
perfected for a delightful outing at the
beach today. when the orphaned and
homeless children of Los Angeles will
be entertained by the Humane society.
Plenty of automobiles have been prom
lsed to transport all the children safely
to their destination. Sandwiches and
ice cream in cornucopias, fruits and
nuts and popcorn are all provided in
enormous quantities. Indeed. the char
ity of the Los Angeles caterers and
manufacturers of foodstuffs has
been unusual. and everyone seems to
have entered into this affair with a
spirit which assures not only de-
lighted mind, but satisfied and con-
tented little body for each boy ana
girl who shall enjoy this trip.
The entire arrangements concerning
the parade will be In charge of Jack
Jenkins, who will be grand marshal of
the day He will have for his as
sistants N. w Myrick, Gesner VIII
liams, Alvin Frank, w. d. Longyear,
Alexander Brownstein, II. d. Krohn,
Bruce Carter, c. M. Pierce, Roland
Crocker, Bob Gaylord, Glenn Edmonds
and Godfrey Holterhoff, jr. These men
will act as captains, and each one VIII
have under his immediate supervision
ten automobiles, which will hold from
five to ten children apiece.
Dyas-Cline company has contributed
badges for the children to wear, and as
they leave the homes and institutions
this morning they will have these rib
bons fastened to coats and frocks, so
that they may be easily identified In
the throng of children which is con-
stantly in evidence at the Venice beach.
The women who have been patron
esses of this society are numerous and
include not only many who have al
ways been identified with this work
but hosts of prominent club and So
clety women who have had their in
terest in this organization aroused just
recently From these new members the
officers and directors of the humane
work in the city hope for great results.
They believe that by thus demonstrating
what they are doing in caring for cases
of dependent and helpless young folk
they will be enabled to have greater
funds at their disposal, and thus
larger working force. The members of
the society now afford only two outside
officers, and truant girls and boys and
others not willfully mischievous per-
haps, but led by companions Into the
first little careless ways of the city, are
not sufficiently protected. With the
increase of interest in the work there
will be an attendant Improvement in
this condition. Mrs. M. A. Kubel, who
is the secretary of the society, reports
a remarkably busy season just passed,
a season when many homes were found
tor destitute children. Mrs. Charles
Modini- Wood is deeply interested ms
the outing today.
1t has been the aim of the officers
of the organization to help their wards
by self help, rather than by constant
assistance. Families where discord
reigned have been either brought to
harmony or the children have been
taken to some good home where peace
and quiet and proper care are their al
lotment. In these ways, as we'll as
Sthose more generally recognized, the
Humane society has done and is doing
a splendid work, and all those men
and women who help In the arrange
ments today are contributing largely
toward that end.
The children who will enjoy the ride
today include small groups from the
Lark Ellen home and the Home Find
ing society, forty-five will come from
the Belle White house, fifty from the
Jewish orphanage, fifty from the AL
pine orphanage, 100 each from the
Guardian Angels orphanage In Pico
street, from the Boyle Heights or
phanage and from Anaheim, from
which place the Sante Fe road will
bring and return the children free of
charge.
The children will be brought to Ham
burgers store, and a parade will start
that will take them about the principal
streets of the city before they go to
Venice. Further pleasure drives will
follow their advent in the towns of
Crescent Bay and they will make 'prac-
tically tour Of the beach before they
reach Venice and are given the priv
ileges which are to be theirs for this
day.
