Send Old Clothing TO the
ArmeniaRS

Don't throw away your winter gar
ments, no matter how worn they are,
for there are thousands of people in Ar
menia who are trying to keep them
selves covered by patches, tatters and
shreds. During June and July the
Near East Relief, Inc, is collecting
clothing to tide these unfortunate peo-
pie over another winter.
Nothing is too old, too worn. too
faded, to be Of use. A single garment
may mean the difference of life and
death. In Armenia there is no thread
to sew garments together-bits of string
do that job. There aren't even pins
and how can a woman dress without
pins =?
1t is for these people, starving, dis
eased and naked, that the Near East
Relief is working. Already whole cit
les have been transformed, thousands
of disease victims cured. But there is
an even greater number yet to be cared
for and their pressing need is clothes
that will replace the foul, vermin in
tested rags that the refugees wear when
they come into the cities, epidemic
breeding rags-epidemIcs that Ameri-
can doctors are fighting.
Donations of clothing should be sent
prepaid to the Near East Relief Ware
house, $40 west T~hirty-ninth street,
