campaign for pure milk for the
poor babies of the Gate City was in
augurated Thursday morning by the
Mothers Congress Of Atlanta. The
members plan to engage actively in
the work of helping the babies who
can not help themselves, and through
the president. Mrs. John w. Row
lett, have sent out the following ap-
peal:
One hundred persons are want
ed each to furnish one quart Of
milk daily for one child. If you
are willing to help save one baby,
send your name to Mrs. John w.
Rowlett, 1856 East Pine Street.
The officers Of the congress declare
that when they have obtained the
names of the 100 persons willing to
save a baby each, it will be but the
opening wedge in the work they have
undertaken The ultimate object Of
the campaign is the establishment Of
milk stations in sections of the city
where they are needed, thus enabling
the mother to be instructed as well

Evans Eager to Help.
The fact that aid for the poor
babies of the city is imperative and
must be given at once was estab-
lished by the congress after a con-
ference had been held with City War
den Evans Mr. Evans furnished the
officers Of the congress with a long
list of children whom it is proposed
to make the beneficiaries of the one
quart of milk a day plan. and he has
offered to cooperate with the con-
gress in every way possible during
the campaign.
The question of caring for the
babies of Atlanta during the months
when the chances for the baby to
survive are few is a vital and press
ing one" declared one of the officers
of the congress Thursday morning.
and the question of furnishing pure
milk to the children should be taken
up in earnest by the people of At
lanta. We are hoping for a hearty
and encouraging response to our re-
quest for a 100 quarts of milk a day
for the babies, and would ask that
every person contemplating enlist
ing in the good work send in their
names as soon as possible.
we hope to show the vital need
Of this work by the good we can do
with the 100 quarts a day plan and
so arouse the people of Atlanta that
pure milk stations can be estab-
lished.

Improper feeding is the chief
cause of infant mortality. and ignor-

Your Aid Is Needed
to Save the Babies

Hundreds of poor babies are
suffering in Atlanta today, insult
ficiently and improperly nour-
ished. Hundreds of them will die
during the torrid months of July
and August unless something Is
done for them.
The Mothers Congress of At
lanta has undertaken to save at
least one hundred of these babies
whose parents are too poor to pro-
vide them with proper food and
nourishment by supplying each
baby with a quart of pure, fresh
milk each day. They are calling
on one hundred citizens of At
lanta for aid, asking them to each
furnish one quart of milk each
day.
If you are willing to help save
one little life and make one home
brighter, send your name at once
to Mrs. J. w. Rowlett, 1856 East
Pine Street.

LIBRARY MASS MEETING TONIGHT Miss Lyon of Little Rock, to
 Be Among the
 Speakers.
ENTHUSIASM
MUCH
Many New Members Have Been List ed-TO Establish Temporary
 Quarters.

To perfect the organization and to outline a campaign on which work can begin at once, a mass meeting will be held tonight at o'clock at the Chamber of Commerce assembly hall, by the members of the Pine Bluff Public Library Association. A large number of new members will be placed on the rolls as the Membership Committee has been hard at work dur ing the past week, and the citizens of Pine Bluff are apparently very en- thusiastic over the prospects for a public library in the very near fu- ture.
 When Rabbi Joseph Jasin, a mem- Der of the Executive Nommittee, was in Little Rock recently, he rendered Miss Dorothy Lyon, librarian of the, Carnegie Library in the capital city, an invitation to attend the mass meet ing and address the public on the movement. Miss Lyon accepted the invitation and will arrive in this city today sometime. She is a library en- thusiast and being the librarian of the largest public library in the state, she will be able to give the members of the local association many point CTS concerning the organization and maintenance of a public library.
 The committee on quarters will re- probable that some steps will be talk en toward the establishment of temp- orary quarters. The committee has been Investigating two different places with view to selecting rooms for the library but it is very probable that the temporary library will be located on the sixth story of the Citizens Bank Building. However as yet the committee has made no definite state- ments and nothing can be given out as positive.
 A number of persons in this city have become so enthused over the proposition of a public library that they have rendered their services to the committee free of charge and the matter of who will be librarian will be taken up tonight
 The library will be established with temporary quarters and then the members will launch a campaign for funds for permanent home. It is ex- pected that within a very few months Pine Bluff can boast of modern public library.

TARIFF BILL MAY BE SLIGHTLY DELAYED May Not Be Reported to
 Senate Until
 June 15.
WEARY GRIND AHEAD
Many People in Washington to Pro- test Against Passage of
 Measure.

Washington, May 19.--The tariff bill will not be reported to the senate before June 15, according to indica- tions today. Senator Simmons, in response to a request from Senator Penrose, said he hoped the bill might be reported during the first week in this could be done. The sub-commit- tees made practically no progress to- day and most of the members of the finance committee see a weary grind of nearly a month ahead of them.
 A meeting of the entire finance committee may be held tomorrow. The subcommittee, headed by Senator Johnson, today heard five representa- tives of the saddlery and harness in terests in opposition to the free list. Complaint is made that the American market is thrown open to the Canad- ian manufacturers at the same time that Canada continues to maintain a tariff against American made goods.
 A delegation of Louisiana sugar cane growers called on Senator Will Hams to present their protest on free sugar, but they were net heard. Sena- i tor Williams subcommittee will hear anyone on the tariff and a degree of pal licity will be given the hearing Washington has filled up rapidly with. men who want to present their views. Members of the finance com mittee are confronted with interview CTS in their offices, at home and in the corridors of the capital
