, LEEW WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1918 yocial H on t ie ; Nor by Ruth Risley appenin 7 th Shore J VY KOKIE chapter, American Red Cross branch, reports 55 gar- ments completed including pa- jama suits, surgical coats, surgical sox, boys' pants and robes, eiderdown hospital coats which are so much _ needed and appreciated, and which require so much sewing and finish- ing, besides 80 complete comfort bags for women, which are to be sent to Dr. Alice Barlow-Brown in France. These bags are equipped for the com- fort of the refugee women of France. They include wash cloth, towel, comb, tooth-brush, tooth-powder, talcum, hair pins, safety pins and various other necessities and many are pro- vided with underwear and stockings, to be distributed when occasion de- mands. Great credit is due Mrs. Frank C. Farmer and her able as- sistants for the remarkable output in so short a time, with the delay caused by the blizzards of the neces- sary machines upon which to sew. The bags are in charge of Mrs. C. S. Boggs, 1308 Scott avenue, phone Win. 580-J, who will give information re- garding same. There is a drive on for 500 which are to be sent with Mrs. Lathrop when she returns to France early in the spring. . The annual meeting of the Infant Welfare Society last Tuesday filled the Fortnightly Club rooms in the Fine Arts building. Knitting needles flashed as the speakers talked. "Keep the baby well," is the so- ciety's slogan. The Woman's Auxiliary held a busi- ness meeting early in the day. An address was given by the president, Mrs. Herbert .F. Perkins, and reports from the chairmen of various com- mittees and centers were made. During the last year 8,618 babies have been cared for. Infant welfare nurses have made 74,167 visits to homes. The aim of the organization 1s to have sixty infant welfare sta- tions instead of twenty-two, sixty doctors instead of twenty-two, and seventy nurses instead of thirty-two. Fugene T. Lies, superintendent of the United Charities, said: "Throw away the slogan, 'Do your bit, and substitute 'Do your utmost. We are called upon during the war to keep alive and active every one's finer feelings and vital concern for their poorer neighbors and babies who need a doctor, nursing and life- giving sustenance."
