TO CRITTENTON HOME

Responding to an appeal made by
Mrs. Lycurgis T.. Uhler, Field Secre-
tlry of the National Florence Critten-
ton Home for Girls, the Anne Arundel
County Commissioners. in session
here today. decided to appropriate
S100 toward the supporting fund Of
taat institution The sum will be pro
yided for in the county levy for the
fiscal year. which is to be made up on
Tuesday of next week.
In addition to making this appro-
priation, the members of the Board
together with other persons who
were about the offices at the time
opened their purse strings by making
personal contributions to the Home
as a result of which Mrs. Uhler coll
lected the sum of $50.
Mrs Uhler is making a tour of al
the counties of the State in behalf OF
this benevolent work and reports that
every county visited so far, including
Montgomery and Prince Georges, has
responded with a contribution of moi
less than 500, in addition to individ-
ual subscription. Similar have
teen made regularly in the past. This
county, along with others. have made
contributions in the above sum. In
view of the fact that the Ivakota
Farms. which is the Florence Critten-
on Home for Girls. receives and cares
for girls sent there by the counties, in
lieu Of strictly reformatOry institu-
tions. the contributions are generally
considered as being toward a public
