INFANT MUNICIPALITY
CHILDREN GIVEN BEST OF CARE
kT CAMP GOOD WILL.

Out on a hill in beautiful Rock Creek
Park 100 of the poor children of the Capt.
tai city have an infant municipality. 1t
is known as Camp Good WIZ. Some folk
call it Camp Get Well The Associated
Charities. from money contributed by the
generous pubic, Supports this camp for
the poor and deserving white children OF the
city and their mothers Gay little groups
of children here and there are breathing the
sweet fresh air coming from mountain,
lake and meadow, and Indulgence in all the
joys of infant life in the woods can be
seen upon all sides. They have the benefit
daily of dip in the old swimming hole
1T the creek under the direction of COM
petcnt attendant and of rambles In the
deepest recesses OF the woods. They make
mud pies and paddle in the streams to
their hearts content.
The on.y unpleasant thing to the campers
is the fact that afer they have Lad an
outing of two weeks they must return to
their homes. Other boys and girls are
| awaiting the opportunity to go on the same
mission.
Mrs. Edna Keane Bushe, is the SUPER
intendent of the camp this year, and, there
fore, the mayor of the infant municipality.
Her will is the law and her power is like
unto that of the car OF all <Re Russias,
but at no time is there an. executive action
in Camp Good Will which is not taken for
camp. Mr.. John Joy Edison chairman of
he summer outing committee of the AS
sociated Charities, paid a visit Yesterday to
tie camp, and was much p eased with the
! work in hand. AS Mr.. Edison has be N
abroad during the greater part of the
early spring and summer it was his fiji st
opportunity of seeing how the work is
being carried on. The Chi dren sleep IN
tents, In the center of the tented city the
girls and the mothers are domiciled, while
| the boys inhabit the outer tents in what Is
| properly termsd tine suburbs. The tents
| have been furnished by the Assoclatt q
| Charities and Gen. Alesnire, Quarterma ster
| general of the army.
The rising bell rings at 5 O'Clock in the
morning and in few moments the resi-
| dents of the tented city are scramblng
| from their homes of canvas like SO many
| elves answering an n-emerSency call. soon
afterward breakfast is served. consisting or
milk meat and eggs and vegetables. The
other meals of the day are looked forward
to with keen anticipation, and Mrs. Bushee,
it is stated, never disappoints her subjects.
After dinner the residents of the camp con-
gregate in the big tent and at $50 CLOCK
they retire to their sleeping quarters, where
they are lulled to sleep by the winds which
blow increasingly through the pines sur
rounding the camp.
I'VE could use $1,000 nicely in making
improvements at the camp, said Mr.. Ed
son following his trip of inspection yester-
day Il know that if the people of WASH
preciated the enjoyment that the poor chill
dree get out of this summer ou ing. every
cent required. and more too. probably
would soon be forthcoming.
According to Secretary Weller, VISITORS
are always welcome in the camp.
