GRIPS ORPHANS NEED CARE
Temporary and Permanent
Homes Asked for Many Children

DR.. Harriet l.. Hartley chief of the
division of child hygiene of the Depart
ment Of Health and Charities. today ap-
pealed TO charitable institutions and
private homes to open their doors 10
children who have been permanently or
temporarily orphaned by epidemic infiu-
enza.
These children are homeless in many
instances because their parents are i'll.
They are healthy, but need food and
attention. Many orphanages dare not
take them in because OF the danger of
spreading the epidemic in the insttu-
tions.
Several children taken TO st. Johns
Day Nursery to get medical treatment
have been found not i'll. but suffering
from malnutrition.
Seventy children at the Southern Home
for Destitute Children are stricken with
the disease, and the home has appealed
for one night nurse to attend them. They
are being cared for In the daytime by
volunteers who are unable to be there at
night. All the servants at the home quit
when influenza developed.

dampen the enthusiasm OF the big
crowd nor the stirring strains OF pa
triotic anthems that rose above the
cheers of the throng and the crash ana
grinding as the merchantmen started
for the first dip, in the Delaware.
The one tinge OF regret In the program
was the absence or siNteen-year-old

II was the second time that illness pre-
vented her being a ship christener. Miss
