FUND NEEDED
TO BUY MILK
Nursing Associa
Makes Plea; Tells
Of Necessity

Liberal contributions must be made
to the milk fund or infants and tu-
bercular patients whose lives liter
ally depend upon the free fluid must
suffer probable death, according to
Mrs. j. X. Wells, head Of the Public
Health Nursing association Of
Brownsville.
Twelve milk bottles, with appro-
pirate labels, have been placed in
Brownsville places of business in or
der to make it convenient for citi-
Zens to contribute to the fund.
more than $40 per month is being
spent for free milk and this is more
than the association has been re-
c%eiving from all sources" Mrs. Wells
said The Red Cross has been con-
tributing as literally as possible but
the funds of this organization can
not be further depleted.
Many Need Free Milk
Twelve persons now are receiving
a quart of milk free daily and there
are many other deserving cases. Six
of those now receiving milk are in
fants, the others are tubercular pa
tients.
I'VE hope the public will contribute
literally. putting their donations in
the milk bottles. or contributions
will be received at the office OF the
public health nurse in the city hall.
Nurse Kept Busy
The nurse in her report yester-
day told members Of the association
she had given free medical attention
to 112 patients at the regular clinic
in June; that 81 Of these were chill
dren and infants; that 254 office
consultations had been held in the
same period; and that typhoid serum
was administered to 80 persons. This
report reveals the great need for the
milk fund, Mrs. Wells said.
Thirty-two births were recorded
during the month by midwives, they
being paid 25 cents for each report.
Members announced the resignation
OF Miss Emily Lannon's as school
nurse had been accepted and that she
would be succeeded Sept. 1 by Miss
Rosa Putegnat.

The first intention OF the ship IN
TO proceed to Foyn Island where sew
eral persons we're sighted who as
yet have not been identified. These
men signalled to the Krassin and the
icebreaker signalled back that she
would pick them up on returning
from the Viglieri rescue. Prof. Sam
ioloviteh expressed the belief that
the men were Alpine chasseurs who
were sen in search of Mobiles men
six weeks ago. These men were the
Italian Alpine chasseur Captain Sora
and the Norwegian guides Warming
and Vandogen.
No word had been heard from this
little group which started afoot for
Foyn Island for many weeks and
they were virtually given up for
dead many days ago.

After this group is picked up the
Krassin will continue back TO the
group of the Russian flier. ChukhnOv-

sighted the I~talia's walking party,
whose leader. DR.. Finn Malmgren.

notified the Krassin OF their posi-
tion.
Chukhnovsky, on his return flight
to the Krassin, became lost in the
fog and made a forced landing near
Cape Platen. His landing gear was
broken, but he and his men immedi-
ateiy set up camp and by wireless
urged the krassin to rescue the two
members Of the Malmgren group who
were in a starving condition.
After Chukhnovsky is picked ul
the Krassin will proceed to Virgo
Bay. where the pilot will establish
a base for further flights in order 20
seek trace Of Road Amundsen and
the six men who were carried off in
the bag Of the Italia when the Con-
dola was torn loose. These men have
virtually been given up for lost, but
in view of the almost miraculous res
cue of Mariana and Zappi, every eff
fort will be made to find them.
