This, right after "moving or house-cleaning day," is hailed as a boon to housewives, as well as practical charity. It has been recognized and approved by the school authorities and depart- ment stores, whose trucks are donated to pick up bundles and take them to the central warehouse. Bundle Day, conducted by Near East Relief for the thousands of chil- dren under their care, has had Chi- cago and vicinity's hearty support for several years. In 1926 over 500,000 pounds--eighteen carloads--of clothing was gathered together, made up into 1,845 bales and 1,640 bags and shipped promptly to the Near East. This year's indications point to an even greater total. The refuges need all sorts of cloth- ing--overcoats, jackets, trousers, long and short; coats, skirts, underclothing --and warm things especially as the Armenian climate is often severe. Donors are asked to omit shoes, hats, silks, but get everything else ready. Ask the principal, teachers or school children where the bundle stations are located. If citizens cannot find a bundle sta- tion they are urged to send bundles to Near East Relief, 37 S. Wabash Ave., by parcel post. George M. Rey- nolds, prominent Chicago banker, is treasurer of Near East Relief, and Ex- Governor Frank O. Lowden is state chairman, Mrs. George M. Chapman of 250 Ridge avenue will entertain about fifty north shore guests at luncheon at Skokie Country club Wednesday, April 27. TOUPEES and WIGS Natural as the Halr that was once your own. Ph.
