which the patrons cared to make.
Similar stands were also operated in
hotels and banks.
In this manner it was believed the city
was well covered and that any one desir-
ing to make contributions could do so
without trouble. At the same time the
charities workers anticipate that many
persons who were not able to make con-
tibutions at these points will send them
to the headquarters of the body in order
to aid in giving the youngsters and their
mothers outings.
Stands Open Until Last Minute.
In addition to the decorated automo-
bile. several other machines were do
mated by the owners for conveying those
in charge to the several points where
contributions were being taken. The
stands will be kept open as long as pos
sible in order that not even a single
penny may be lost to the children.
All those who were unable to contrib
ute through the booths are urged to
send in something for the aid of the
