MISSION SEEKS FUNDS
Home for Mothers and Babies In.
adequate for Modern Needs,
Officials Saw.

For the first time in it's existence,
thirty-six years the Florence Crit.
tenton Mission win make q public ap-
peal Tor funds. to open tomorrow.
Mrs. Charles w. Fits is chairman,
will be In charge OF the appeal to the
public. Headquarters will be estab-
lished at the Ebbitt Hotel, but con-
tributions may also be sent to the
Mission House at 218 Sd street.
It was emphatically stated last
drive" for funds. "If the public be-
lieves that the mission is engaged
in a laudable charity" one Official
stated last night. I'VE appeal for its
aid.
First Pebble Appeal.
This is the first time in our history
that we have ever made q public ap-
peal. The home has been in existence
for thirty-six years, during which
time 1t has sheltered and cared for
well into thousands Of mothers and
their babies. 1t has been sustained
entirely by private subscription and
donations by some OF our most promi-
nent citizens, both in official, civil
and business circles.
1t has been an indexible rule of
the board OF managers to reduce the
running expenses to an irreducible
minimum. And we have made this ap-
peal in full faith that the same ap-
probation OF the worth -whileness of
our work which has heretofore Sc
cured the support Of the mission will
stand behind US in the present ap-
peal'
The mission Ia under the super
vision of the board Of charities Of
the District government. and 10 COM
PEELED by law to make an annual
ynf nd fnA,
ments to that board.
One OF the leading reasons for tho
appeal is the intention to build on
! the outskirts Of the city. The pres
ent building 10 unsuitable for q homo
for such purposes as are filled by
the mission, according to a staten ent
| made last night.
Building IL Inadequate.
In the winter i've and a half tons
OF coal per week are needed to heat
1t. In summer there 10 no breathing
space beyond the walls where the
mothers and babies might seek rec
| reation unmolested.
One of the greatest problems of
| tho ofncials Is how to keep mother
! and child together. A large number
OF girls are unable to return to their
homes and arc without means of
support, but are anxious to support
given a fair chance. The obstacle is
to provide boarding home for
mother and child In which the baby
| may be cared for during the hours
! when the mother is employed. The
present quarters OF the home makes
| this impossible.
The management of the Ebbitt
House has pronered the use Of the
rarlors for campaign headquarters,
| where friends and contributors
| might meet with the board Of man
ayers during the next two WoekA

OF work. My friends, you will pass by,

we shall meet again. I shall not
divorce myself from this department
