New Yorkers Will Raise Thousands
of Dollars at Benefit

MAKES CONTRIBUTION
Physicians Say That It Is Absolutely
Necessary to Care for Many Moth

Summer Months.

New York, June 19.—A beneAt per
formance of "The Wolf" will be given
at the Lyric this afternoon and is ex
pected to add thousands of dollars to
the fund for 'saving the babies" of
New York during the hot summer
months. The entire proceeds of the
performance, in which many prominent
actresses and actors will participate,
will go to the Mother's Seaside Rest
Home at Coney Island beach, A fea
ture of the performance will be an
enormous Aower booth, at which sev
eral beautiful women of the stage will
sell Aowers at prices based on all the
traffic will bear. Several other amuse

tions have been received, including
$2,500 from William Randolph Hearst.
Aside from the Mother's Rest at
Coney Island beach, numerous other
charitable organizations will take part
in a concerted plan to save the lives
of the thousands of infants and child
ren who would otherwise certainly per
ish during the summer. In past years,
the relief work has been carried on in
a desultory and unorganized manner,
with the result that the slaughter 'of
the innocents hos been appalling. For
the Arst time in any American city, a
systemized official effort is to be
made to save the little ones.
To put this plan into execution, the
city has been divided into districts,

It is the Arst time that any American
city has undertaken to care for 100 per

are being made to learn what is being
done in every part of the city,
health board has. appealed to private
agencies to unite in aiding the work
and to keep the city officials posted
where private aid is not sufficient.
Dispensaries, hospitals, dry nurseries
and individual physicians have agreed
to unite in giving instructions to moth
ers during the hot weather.
Physicians interested in the work
declare that it will be absolutely nec
essary, to save the lives of many wo
men and children, that they be sent out

which today's beneAt is given, will ac
