SOLDIERS' MOTHERS
TO ASSIST CHILDREN
Start $50,000 Thank Offering
Campaign for Destitute In
fluenza Victims
An a. thank offering for the coming of
peace, nearly 300 mothers of enlisted
men, under the direction of the National
Congress of Mother, today began a
campaign to raise S60.000 to tnko caro
of Phl'adelphla children left destltuto by
the' Influenza epidemic.
The women bo appreciated the rclcaso
of their own sons from danger on tho
battlefield they were eager to demon
strate their thankfulness. When Dr.
Wllmer Kruscn, Director of Public
Health and Charities, said there was no
city fund to care for tho hundreds of
babies left destitute during the epidemic,
the mothers of men In the service volun
teered to raise an emergency fund. This
will be known as the homo aid fund and
will bo distributed by a committee con
sisting of Doctor Kruscn, Mrs. Frederic
Schoff, chairman of tho National Con
Kress of Mothers; Dr. LIda Stewart
Coglll and a representative clergyman,
who will be chosen later,
A small nursery has been fitted up In
the window ,nt 1343 Chestnut street,
where somo of the "epidemic orphans"
will play each day from 12 to 2 o'clock.
On the theory that the child can best
appeal to the human heart, these little
ones will bo living demonstrations of
persons who In some way or another
were affected by the epidemic and are
In need of aid. A city health nurse will
take care of the babies In tho miniature
nursery. There will be games and puz
lies for the little ones, and lunch will
be served for them at a little table set
with tho sort of dishes and food children
love.
Campaign workers, under the leader
ship of forty-seven captains, will make
a house-to-house canvasB of tho city this
week and members of the campaign
committee will also visit the business
section, They will turn In their reports
at 3:45 o'clock each day at campagn
headquarters, Sam S. Shubert Theatre
building.

, TO BURY JUNiqPAL WIRES
Electrical Bureau Plans to Ex-,?-
tend Underground Cables
Rndlcal changes nnd Improvements
In the Electrical Bureau are outlined
In a report Just made public by Chief
McLaughlin. The next twelve months
will set many wires Installed under
ground and tho completion of much
work delayed because of the war.
From the first of the p-fBent year
'Until October 1 a total of 26,123 feet,
or approximately five miles, of Bervlco
' cable for the Police and Fire Bureaus
was placed underground, and next year
this rootage will bo materially Increased.
With a retu h of peace tho proposed
program to complete tho power plant
at City Hall will be carried out. Be
cause of the difficulty In obtaining ma
terials and the scarcity of skilled labor
work on the plant has been delayed, al
though an effective measure of Bervlce
was always maintained by the bureau
in all of its activities, Other plans for
the" future call for the Installation of
new lines and extensions of present apparatus.
