Postpones Baby Week
to Allow Extensive
Service to Country

Needs occasioned by entrance of the
United States in the world war have
caused the committee to postpone ar
rangements for Baby Week. The fol-
lowing announcement has been made:

mind is chiefly engrossed at this time
by matters pertaining to the war, the
committee fears that it will practical
ly be impossible to get the public as a
whole to respond to anything that is
not generally recognized as having an
immediate bearing upon patriotic de-

best to the committee to postpone for
the present at least the observance of
Baby Week In Richmond.
