Relief Machine Goes Into Action;
 Women Plan for Immediate Program

lief fund committee met yesterday afternoon with Mayor George A. Quigley in his office and plans were discussed for immediate relief work in as many of the numerous in stances as resources and equipment will permit. Several new members were added to the central commit tee and work was ub-divided among the committees which form the whole organization.
 Sub-committees were instructed in tn line of their duties in relief york, and henceforth they will be able to function with a more definite idea of their responsibilities. The central committee of emergency re- liet funds, headed by Mrs. Howard Parsons, now includes sub-commit- tee on membership. clothing. ways and means. baking powder (sub- scription) and sports,
 The baking powder committee e was created as the result of a dream conceived by Mrs. Arthur Bacon. Having gone to sleep thinking about the needed relief for the unemployed and their families. she subconscious- ly saw in her sleep a large baking powder can. The next morning she tried to account for the meaning of this conception, and could come to no other conclusion than that the can wa meant to raise the dough- in. So, the organization has decided 10 place oversize empty baking powder cans on the streets and 500 smaller ones in various homes as soon as possible. and let them act as Repositories for contri- buttons 10 the cause of alleviating the needs of the poor.
 C09 Children Need Milk
 Reports were made by those who have investigated general conditions throughout the city. It was said that there are GOO children in the city schools who need milk daily and do not get it. Supplying the neces- sary half pint per day the cost would Le $l2O per week. The Red Cross has $1,oO0 in readiness for this purpose. which will last about two months at the computed rate of expenditures. It was further sug- gested that the milk be distributed in the schools rather than be sent to the homes of the children.
 Miss Cora M. Beale presented a general plan for relieving needy families, which took into consider alton both immediate aid and steps toward finding employment for the heads of the families of those in dire necessity. Mrs. Honor T. Sundburg told the gathering of conditions she had come in contact with in her round Of inspections during the past few weeks. Mrs. Sundburg is q member of the clothing committee, and she expressed the value of con- tributions of used clothing, cspc- Cially mems pants and children's un- dcrwear. In the way of fuel sup. ply, Mrs. J. Kamenski suggested that her fathor-in-law, S. Kamenski, has on his farm near Berlin d large supply Of undergroWth which might be cut and hauled away by those desiring it.
 From various projects in the past the emergency relief fund committee las gleaned $374.74 to date. These include theatcr benefits. sales of candy. contributions and the like. A number of other plans for collection of funds will be put into working ir the future. Favorable action has been taken by Miss Elsie NJ Miles, principal of the Lincoln school, with regard 10 holding at the school an entertainment of world tour moving pictures taken by MT. and Mrs. Gale Porter.
