 July 29. MOTOR SQUAD WILL
 MEET TOMORROW Fine Entertainment Pro- gram Arranged, For
 Lawn Fete.

On Thursday afternoon the mem- bers of the Comfort club are to have a field day in Beardsley park that will be more of social get-together meeting than anything else. There is a great deal of anxiety among the members of the Comfort club at the present time as the 102nd Ambulance Corps are right in the thick of the present engagement in the Marne sa- lient and the mothers are awaiting as patiently as they can word from those in this corps.
 The club will go to the park about o'clock on Thursday and will talk over at length the plans which they have in mind for the coming fall. The plan Is to send a certain amount each month to each member of the corps and to do this necessitates raising quite an appreciable sum of money. Supper will be enjoyed about o'clock. On Monday there is to be a meeting of the ways and means committee of the Comfort club at the home of the chairman, Mrs. c. I. Crosby, on Beechwood avenue.
