FOR CAR RIDES.
All-Day Picnics in the Country Plan
ned-Residents Are Responding
to the Appeal.


nenced in earnest, and already several par
ties of children have enjoyed the benefits OF
car rides into the suburbs through the sem
erosity of Washing on res dents On account
of the cool weather of tie past ten days
however, there has been no necessity lor
outings, but the committee has been gam
ering funds with which to provide car rldes
for the poor children and their mothers IN
Washington during the hot summer Gays
which are approaching.
II is hoped by those in charge of the car
ride charity that sufficient funds may be
obtained to permit of all-day picnics in the
country for the poor children and their
mothers with lunches provided. Outings at
farm houses in the country for s ok babies
and children are also planned and only
need generous contributions from the peo-
pie to make them d fact. 1t is hoped that
many children can be sent out into mary
land and Virginia in groups of five or six
with proper chaperons, and receive the
benefit of a week or more of fresh ar ana
good food
The following have been chosen and have
accepted positions on the outings commit

Appeal for Funds.
The following letter has been sent out by
the officers of the committee to the citizens
of Washington asking for contributions to
the fund of the committee:
THE undersigned represent the committee
which has been organized for the purpose
of securing funds to be expended during the
summer in providing trolley rides for chill
dren and mothers who could not otherwise
obtain any outing during the heated terms,
when suffering is often intense.
The street car tickets Will be distributed
by the Associated Charities, whose agents
and visitors will be in close touch through
out the summer with the families who stand
in the greatest need of such relief The
visitors will not give out all the tickets al
cnce. but distribute them as most needed
supervising their use and suggesting pos
sible excursions
I'm addition to car rides and day excur-
sions. other forms of summer outings will
be provided the funds and opportunities
permit. Contributions may be sent to the
treasurer, Mr.. John b. Sleman. jr., Union
Savings Bank, or TO any member of the
committee"
Mr.. John B. Sleman IT.. treasurer of the
committee. has received a letter inclosing
a check from Judge Charles F. Scott of the
Police Court in response to the appeal in
which Mr.. Scott writes of the outing move
ment follows:
Since my observation OF the workings of
a similar movement in Chicago last year
L have no hesitation in saying that this
city ought not to allow any other to eX-
coed her in making glad the hearts of the
children and of their parents by this outing
Scheme-not prompted by spirit of rivalry
but by the principle of love.
1T would make an advance in our i'm
portant charitable work IL the outing COM
mittee could select a suitable place in the
country where sick children of tender age
whose parents are financially unable to
send them to the country. might be taken
JOr ABOUT two weeks at time. accom-
panied by their mothers. The different
churches of Chicago unite their efforts in
thls manner, and provide such place for
delicate half-starved little ones and their
Mothers
The committee asks for subscriptions of
any amount 1t is hoped to make the fund
popular one for men. women and chill
dren' white and black, and the smallest
sums Will be gratefully received
The officers of the Associated Charities
VINO nave the outings in charge wish it
announced that they would be glad of vol
unteers to assist in the formation and SUI
perintendence of parties for both day and
evening outings.
