APPEALS FOR FUNDS
Davis Says $500 Yet Needed To Care
 For Expenses Of Outing;


 For the annual outing August 15 of underprivileged children in the various eleemosynary institutions of the city the Birmingham Automobilc club is planning to entertain 1,0OG youngsters.
 Charles G. Davis. president said review of the items of the picnic held last year showed the need for at least $500 to cover expenses, for the quantity of food and drink con- sumed is large. In last years list of things furnished appear the fol- lowing: Sixty gallons of ice cream; IA dozen cakes. as many sandwich es; 5000 ice cream cones, two sacks Of peanuts. crocus sacks. not paper; 60 cases of various kinds of bottled soda water.
 There Is one thing that bothers a child more than anything else, that consumes his attention and which he will fight for under any conditions" MT Davis said and that Is his or her hat The attention most chill dren give to preserving the head piece detracts much from their en- joyment of most things, and on a picnic hat to a child is a nuisance and a burdening care, Knowing this. the club has made provision to get 1500 caps and these will be sent in advance to the homes, for hcys and girls alike, so If they lose q em it won't matter"
 So far the response to the call for funds has resulted in the receipt of about S20O, not half enough to pay eXpenSes.
