 The response to the appeal has come from communities large ana small throughout the country. Pough- keepsie. N. Y, sent 2,600 pounds of clothing and shoes. Los Angeles made an initial contribution Of S'40O pounds; Newton, Mass, Utlcsi, N- l." Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston, each made substantial contributions But it is a large aggregate or small communities in the West that swelled the total.
