The mothers have learned that cleanliness is a necessary to their children's welfare. They are being more particular about i water around the door and they carry the dish water a distance from the Louse now to empty it. There are so many little baoles who need help. There is not enough money in the to reach them and unless some- thins is done soon, they are all going to die from neglect. TLr sad nud terrible thin? Is that they are not given a chance at life.

That should be every human be. ing's fight, don't you think, San Anto- If you are interested In faring these little kiddies and want to do your part, then drop some money In their milk battle or I send in your contribution. 1 It will take $1.000 more to reach tho need of th- little poor. Tbat means they can have milk and ice until cooler weather, The milk and Ice campaign should become a permanent thing, but the bis: fit-lit right now is to keep the milk and Ice drive going i the days nights are cool. Then the little sick babies will have mor of a chance to fipht for their lives.

229 Howard; NATIONAL BUDGET SYSTEM IS FAVORED PRES. BOSTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TELLS OF PART ORGANIZATION HOPES TO TAKE BOSTOX, Aug. worfe anfl agitation for a National bulget system will make up a part of the contribution ol tue Boston Chamber of Commerce to National activities during the coming year, according to John R. of a banking house, who has, Just been elected president of the chamber. "The Boston Chamber of Commerce is more tban a trade organization--it Is a civic body of large possibilities for the common welfare," said Mr.

Macomber. "1 hope that its work may prove so stimulating this year that not one of Its 4,000 members will'have failed to do something really constructive for the city and the Nation. "One of the foremost needs of the Unlte-l States, I believe, at the present time. Is budget system. The present National II- nancing Is based on obsolete practices, and should be superseded Jjy up-to-date methods.

The chamber. I feel certain, is heartily in favor of a budget 'system and i urge it upon Congress. "Citizenship work is another vital necessity. I do not think that the mere Americanization of aliens in sufficient. There are great numbers of American citizens wiio altogether too little about our Government and who are quite as much Ir, need of Instructions and help as to their rights and i as is the average foreigner who comes to our shores.

Combating political illiteracy in our adult population is an i a work, and one ir. which I am sure the chamber can great aid. Xew England Is chiefly in- trusted the development of the port of Boston. Is something we all interested in. The tv.ir i a changes in our but i i I coming year I believe that something definite will have been accomplished.

Before anything else is done, however, there must be an improvement in railroad facilities. The chamber has developed a policy for promoting Boston's welfare in this respect which I feel is most constructive and valuable. This policy will be put into operation as soon as definite action is taken regarding the return of railroads to the private owners. "More decisive a i has been possible under war conditions may be desir- a to promote Xew England's fstrrests In a of National importance. It a be well to get into the closest possible tonoh i sucl: movements.

Hall 1512 East Houston; Willie W. Hell. 204 SAN FRANCISCO. Ans, a I result of the application for a mandatory injunction to compel the Southern Pacific Railroad Company to transport beer con- i per cent alcohol, made in tie United Slates District Court here by the i Kanier Brewing Company, the Railroad I Administration has apreed to accept this i beer for shipment. All that is required for the brewing company, said Theodora i.

Bell, attorney for that concern. 13 that it a i in its bill of lading or shipping receipt, a statement that the shipper Is shipping the beer to himself, and that, such shipment is not in connection with any sale. This applies to all liquor, whether into.Ticatin? or not. It appears that the Director General of Railroads has issued an order that shipments of intoxicating liquors in cases where the liquor is being shipped, to oneself should be received by the railroads upon receipt of a certificate to that effect. He contends that wines and beers, whether intoxicating or not, mnst be accepted by the transportation companies, provided a the carrier is not required to collect the purchase price ond remtf it to the shipper.

The courts have never gone than to declare that common carriers may refuse C. D. ment of liquors. There is no Federal law prohibiting the transportation of liquor except that it cannot be shipped in interstate commerce into any state where the manufacture or sale of liquor is prohibited by local law.

Committee members tried to whether, it tie United States to accept a share of tie German reparations, the share that would have come to this Government-will off bLU, or whether it will be collected and divided among the otuer allied cations. Barnch said this "is a matter for determination." The American members, of the commission, he ought to learn wnich course this Government favors before Joining In any decision by the commission.

"Ihls Government can't cancel sncl a debt eicept by act of Congress," Senator McCumber pointed ont "So Congress should pass a law remitting this share of the reparation fund the commission can only collect the remainder." Senator Enol declared that "the United States commissioner ought to see that the sum filed for reparation is on the basis of acceptance of our share of the Indemnity. Then can, if we wish, do, tie generous thin? by Germany and remit our share. But what I'm alrald -of Is that the impression has got abroad that we won't accept any, aud the other powers, not Germany, will get the benefit of our geaeros- A Week of (By United Press.)
