THE "OPEN DOOR ONCE MORE.
TRIBUNE FRESH AIR FUND STILL SENDING
HUNDREDS OF POOR CHILDREN TO
THE COUNTRY THROUGH IT

The open door Of The Tribune Fresh Air Fund
was kept working hard yesterday that it almost
fell from its hinges. AS every knows this
open door IS a secret exit from great many tene-
ment houses scattered all over the city. 1t is not
used IN the winter. but when the summer comes
with its hot weather and n Tt-i children inside
these tenements begin 10 drry - suffer from
the heat and closeness, then IL is ned and in
twos and threes and dozens they run out OF It and
of to the country Thus does The Tribune Fresh
Air Fund get the best Of a New-Ycrk summer
Yesterday there were 2s4 children who away
through this exit, and It is no wonder that its
hinges were weIlnigh out. To-day over three
hundred children will go romping OF to the
fields and woods. It certainly looks though
that door would come TO unnatural end before
the this hing. II 1t does not. the chill
dren will continue make merry Of it; and II
II does II really makes little difference. for there
still thousands of poor children in the city who
need fresh air and The Tribune Fresh Air Fund
is going to give II TO them, door door.
