FRESH AIR CAMP
MANY MOTHERS AND CHILDREN
 GIVEN VACATIONS.
Phfianthropsc Venture of Local Corps of Salvation Army Only One of Its Kind Sosrfh Of
 St Louis.

No more beneficial work of its kind was ever undertaken in Montgomery than that Identified with the salvation Armys Fresh Air Camp at Pickett Springs. Not many Montgomery citi- gems can realize the good that has al ready been achieved through this new project. save those who have shared Tn it's realities.
 when 1t is realized that some eighty over-worked. puny mothers and chii. dren have already spent a peace1ui week in this camp, composed or vi- lare of tents, neatly and comfortaDiy furnished, where three good meals are served daily, and where good, cooi spring water can be had in. aounoance, with cool fresh air sweeping tnrougn the delightful shades and nothing 10 do b,,t 10 rest and enjoy the bounties of nature. it gives some conception or what is being done for the poor ana deserving people by this organizaron.
 This camp will be run until the schools open in September. then II VIII be closed until next summer. when ~ will be reopened on a larger ana e'eh more up to date scale. a...
 This is the beginning of the nrth week that the camp has been running. A new batch of about fifteen or twenty will be installed tomorrow, wnicn VII run the total up to about 100 penen ciaries. By the time the camp Is closed, there will have been some zoo persons eiven a weeks vacation without cent of charge, either for food, lodging. medicine, transportation or anytnins else. a.. ..
 The first fresh air camp that wss aver conducted in the United States py inc Salvation Army, and probably ny any other organization. was opened m swope Park, near Kansas City, eleven years ago. It has operated every ysa. since and has now group or tnir .y o Ave tents. which accommodate lOV mothers and children weekly.
 This line Of work has grown until there is hardly large city wnicn nss as not a similar work. However, there IS nothing like this conducted by the Sal. vsfion Army south of St. Louis except the camp at Pickett springs. 1 ana .S;s Sss the people who have cons,os,.u sr" ,eo.t nroiect regard it as one of the most valuable of the local philanthropic en- terprises.

undersized donkeys, but principally on the
heads of the producers.
The Haytians are a tall and straight
lmbed race. The habit of carrying
everything on their heads has given them
an erect and graceful carriage that is pleas
ing to the eye. The women wear dresses
Of blue cotton that soon fade into soft tints
in excellent harmony with the landscape.
The costume Of the men consists of cotton
trousers. once blue, a shirt that was pre-
sumably once white, a straw hat and a
COCO macaque. The last is a cane jointed
club like a bamboo. but solid and unbreak-
able, Any other article of his costume
may be and often is dispensed with, but
the COCO macaque never. 1t is the badge
Of the Official, the weapon of the policeman
and the inseparable companion Of the
islander everywhere.
we found, too, that hospitality, never
failing good nature and an utter absence
Of care for the morrow were the most prom
inent characteristics of the people. The
chief amusements of the country are dane
ing and cock fighting and the Haytians are
always ready for either. Worry and haste
are unknown while good health and old
age are the heritage of virtually all The
lot Of the Haytians is far more enviable
than that Of their black brothers in our
Southern States. Each man is a unit of in
dustry, working for and by himself in the
cultivation Of his farm. Except that every
male has to serve a stated period in the
army, the Haytian is untrammelled of orders.
He is sself-supporting and a law unto himself
As a people the Haytians enjoy an amount
OF independence unequalled anywhere eK-
cept by the agricultural white population
Of the United States.
