The funds for the maintenance of Mt, Vernon are now raised by a charge of 25 cents to each visitor.

In spite of Sweden’s present. difficulties I beseech the Riksdag in the name of human charity to grant the support requested, “The reward will come.” A report from the Swedish Relief Expedition announces that 19,000 peo- ple daily are being fed in the Swedish public kitchens in the famine district. Field hospitals have also been estab- lished in the villages of the same dis- trict. The. head of the expedition ex- presses his hopes if sufficient support from home is forthcoming to increase the number of people fed daily up to 40,000. The cattle in the district are g from starvation in large num- bers every day and have decreased since 1920 from about 35,000 to 7,500.
