EVENING WORLD FUND EQUIPS SECOND SCHOOL FOR ThE PENNY LUNCHES Mary Pickford’s $350 Dona- tion Will Furnish Warm Food to Hungry Children. By Sophie Irene Loeb. | Over 2,000 avditional children are} to profit by and enjoy a warm, Nourishing noon lunch service which has just been insured by the contri- bution of $350 to The Evening World| School Lunch Fund, by Miss Mary Pickford, the famous moving picture star. This contribution is being turned over to the New York School Lunch Committee to purchase the equip. ment and guarant a year’s opera. tion of a Junchroom in a large public School in the middie west side, largely inhabited by longshoremen, The appeal! of this district has been eclally pressing ax the families of the longshoremen are waging a brave battle to tide them over a period of enforced unemployment, due to the European war. people are industrious and self-respecting, and through Mo fault of their own are facing its a serious and critical problem. The penny- an-article school lunch service will certainly prove a great boon te many weary mothers, who will mow feel that their children at qchoo! can purchase a supply of wholesome food at cost, and assured that it is not given dole or charity. These domestic victims of for- eign war are thrifty, and justly resent any pauperizing activities, @ feeling which the Evening World and the School Lunch Committee respect. This ts the second school junch unit which The Evening World readers have equipped ofr this work. The food is paid for by the pennies paid, The services in these schools are not for a day or a week. Phe Evening World, co-operating with the School Lunch Committee, has adopted a policy which seeks to make this work permanent. The operation of lunches in these two schools is assured for a whole year, | and it is expected to add to the fund 80 as to make the activity permanent. The first school to have the lunch gerved as a result of The Evening World campaign i& @ large one, in which there are eighty-six crippled children, half of whom are tuber- cular and in the greatest need of this service. In addition over 1,400 other children in this school may avail themselves of the lunchroom factlities, v plans for the opening of the! cn in this school are nearing completion, and It is expected to have this in full swing in a few days. When the little people of the schools in thi rict walk up to the counter with a penny or two ply of well balanced, cleanly prepared food at cost in the schools takes the Place of the inability of the mother to properly minister to the needs of ther child.” This second school, secured through the Evening World's School Lunch Fund, will relleve the anxlety of many a west side mother who bends over her monotonous task in the factory, worrying whether her child has had enough to eat.

Did you see the crowd at the up- town office of The World at Broadway and Thirty-eighth Street Saturday af. ternoon? If you did, then you also noticed the big signs announcing that “Lit‘lo Mary" Fuller and three of her girl as- sociates from the Imp Studio of the Universal Film Company were selling Strand Theatre matinee tickets ‘or the benefit of the Evening World's School Lunch Fund. When they had finished at 6.30 o'clock they had disposed of more than 2,000 of the 20,000 tickets donated by Manager 8S. L. Rothapfel of the Strand. It was only because one uf the girls suddenly remembered that thelr checks were ready at the studio and the cashier went home at 7 o'clock that they were compelled to stop, but | they called out “We'll be with yo again” as they burried away to tae office, Dorothy Phillips, Violet Mersereau and Marie Weirman accompanied Miss Fuller, and they were at tho World Building selling tickets in tho} lobby before they went to the up- town office with Julius Stern, man- ager of the Imp Studio, in his car. The party established themselves at the “resort” desk in the rear of tne office, and as soon as the big signs were posted the Broadway crowds, began to show their interest.
