FUNDS ARE ASKED
TO CARE FOR AGED
Haskell Cites Increase in
Population at Home at
Blue Plains.

Funds to meet the demands Of an
increased population at the Home for
the Aged and Inflrm at Blue Plains
we're urged today by Frank B. Haskell,
superintendent of the institution, in
his annual report to the Public We'll
fare Board.
Mr.. Haskell said that while the
home finished the last fiscal year
without a deficit, there was not suffi-
cient money properly to run an in
stitution of It's size.
At present there are 667 persons
at the institution, as compared with
. daily average last September of 500.
The home received an appropria-
ton Of $4,000 for the year, but 81
per cent Of this amount was expend-
ed for food, heat. farm and garden.
This left only $4,000 for dry goods,
clothing. shoes, house furnishings,
drug and medical supplies, telephone
service, repairs, laundry and clean
Ing and miscellaneous items.
This amount should be raised"
Mr.. Haskell said, for We cannot
properly care for these old people
with l3 per cent OF our appropria-
ton for these minor items"
He said the institution also needs
an addition to the colored women,s
ward, new administration building,
an addition to the infirmary and an
addition to the dining room.

Venus Comb
(Murex tenuispina).

1t is the series Of parallel spines
which gave rise to the name of comb,
and the beauty inspired the idea of
dedicatins 1t to Venus.
The color Of the murex shell when
the mollusk is alive is a blush brown
or ashy blue. The aperture Is well
marked with dark lines.
The average length is from to
inches. The comb is very delicate and
fragile and must be carefully handled.
It is one Of the prize shells for a COL

OF the Venus comb, but thousands of
them are shipped to markets over the
