The party Of ffty-sx mothers and chill
dren who yesterday went to Camp Good
Will, in Rock Creek Park, for a two-weeks

The party boarded a car at o'clock at
the Georgetown headquarters Of the Asso-
ciated Charities, where they had previously
been examined to see that there were no
contagious diseases among them that would
infect the camp. When the car stopped in
front of the headquarters the youngsters
fairly took it by storm as they rushed pell-
nell for seats After ride through the
city they were landed out on the Bright
wood road and broke into a run for the
camp, led by a little girl who had been on
one of the outings last year.
An Ideal Spot.
Once at the camp they took possession
of everything. and it was not long before
they had seen every nook and corner of the
place. The several families were soon as
signed to tents and every one was made to
feel at home. The camp, which is
high HILL with an excellent view, plenty of
Shade and perpetual breeze. is in many
respects ideal spot. Many improve
ments have been made since the closing of

these the new dining room and a big
The tents of the boys and g rls are sepa-
rated by long lane, but where an entire
family goes out they are put in one tent.

Contributions Coming In.
Contributions for Camp Good Will and
the other summer outings work of the AS
sociated Charities are said to be coming in
in generous number. Andrew Parker OF
the Washington Loan and Trust Company,
who is treasurer of the summer outings
committee announces that the responses
to recent appeals have been more prompt
and generous than in any previous year OF
it's work. The committee hopes, according
to Mr.. Parker, that the modest budget or
about So 600 will be raised before the sum
mer exodus of resourceful people.
In acknowledging the following contribu-
tons received at 923 II street Treasurer
Parker says that the large amount OF wori
necessary to get Camp Good Will in condi-
ton and to arrange for the other outing
parties has delayed the office In sending
out the usual receipts. Mr.. Parker also
