SAVE A BABY FUND.- STILL GROWING AS' NEED APPREC|ATED|
Welfare Workers Always Glad Of Gifts Permitting
 Latitude In Expenditure

Ted Brownell of the Dodge Bros. at the disposal of the city well fare department Wednesday, saying whenever the workers needed it for the delivery of screens or other sup plies they had but to phone for 1t.
 More than s75 was added to the Save a Baby Fund" Wednesday, and more was promised. The total IS now within $2.5O of the $500 mark.
 MT. Culley said the slogan. Save Baby Fund" Is old in charity work and has been In use for many dec- ades by charitable institutions and newspapers all over the country and was adopted by his department mere ly to avoid confusion with other well-known and established slogans in charitable work in Birmingham.
 We wanted to have name for the work that would not confine do- nations to any specific supplies. Screens are among the most polg- nant1y needed items to the sick rooms of the poor" MT. Culley said and, above all, what We need in our work is latitude. It Is just as inn portant to furnish fever-stricken little child with fresh, clean under clothes as it is to feed it; it Is just as important, and often more so, to supply 1t with medicine as to do anything. else for it.. The Save a Baby Fund if those who give to it agree with us, Is to supply the things needed by little children who are i'll, and whose parents are too poor to buy. Colitis Is disease that, not only for sanitation and pro- tection of others. but sheer common Ioo a n. I do not believe that anyone who has given to the work will have the slightest objection to the expendi- ture of small portion of this money to making comfortable some of these little sufferers. many of whom can not even talk yet.
 Under the listings of our records we apply funds given as the donors desire, but we are doubly grateful fer those checks that come from givers who say. Spend it in the way that will do the most good for the stricken children

 Scores Are Relieved.
 Reports of the city welfare depart ment now show where scores of in fants and little children who, week ago, were tossing, fever stricken, on insanitary beds. swarms of flies over and about them, without cooling drink, and without the necessary medicine, are now holding their own against the grizzly menace of dis ease, or recovering, sleeping peace fully in screened rooms, with ice Wa ter and cold milk to drink, in clean beds and with changes of clean clothes. And there are hundreds of others, still. who have not yet re- ceived attention for reports are now coming to the department daily from volunteers who are out looking for needy and deserving cases. Many hundreds of dollars more will be needed to care for all and to do the things that have to be done to give them a chance to live.
