STARVATION KILLS
DESTITUTE CHILDREN

In the recent issue of the American
Red Cross magazine The Summons"
sent out from Washington. u. G.. an
appeal is made to all Red Cross
chapters throughout the country for
speedy production Of clothing for the
destitute children abroad. All workers
arc asked 10 mobolize in a great sewing
circle and provide clothing for the
little children Of Central and Eastern
Europe.
Rose Wilder Lane who Is volunteer
observer in Europe for the American
Red Cross has recently written many
interesting letters TO this country
picturing things as they are abroad.
In speaking of the misery that covers
Central and Eastern Europe. she says:
There Is nothing new 70 say about
Vienna. II is city condemned TO
death and dying slowly Of starvation.
Tuberculosis has all the children of
Vienna. In one week there were 235
more deaths than births. Thousands
of children are badly undernourished
and without sufficient clothing for cold
weather.
In Budapest where there are splen-
did hospitals. doctors, surgeons and
nurses. there are no sheets. no soaps.
and no hot water. Babies are born and
wrapped In paper. There are American
layettes in every hospital, but not as
many garments as there are babies.
Many Of the families who are living in
freight cars have no blankets for the
little babies or no warm clothing"
She says of Poland: a large portion
o. children of this country have been
refugees since the time of their birth
and have never known what it was to
have a permanent home. 1t is an
unusual thing 10 find a healthylook-
ing. straight-iegged child.
In Montenegro the mothers have
nothing TO wrap around their new
born babies but the coarse hard woolen
that they spin from the wool OF their
sheep. The baby viii freeze if it is
kept naked and the coarse blanket is
the only thing with which to cover
IT,"
Supplies both of clothing and gar
ments for knitting are at the head
quarters OF the Delaware Chapter Of
the Red Cross, Old City Hall Sixth and
Market streets.
Among the churches to organize
this week for the Red Cross sewing
was Hanover Presbyterian Church.
Second Baptist Church is on its sec
ond supply of garments and are plan
ming to sew one day a week through
the summer months.
