Our Something.

OF course we all know about the
poor. Good heavens! aren't they
with us always? And aren't we
poor enough ourselves?
What we want 10 know is how we
can help. We haven't much money
and we need such extra time as we
have TO get out into the country and
fill our own lungs with fresh, cool
air. What can folks like us do?
We can't 90 much, that's a fact.
If we had the money we'd build a
permanent Camp Good Will. Or
pick up the whole alley population
and take it for car ride. Or save
every middle-aged woman the sweat
of scrubbing floors and the back
ache of doing washing to help out
the good mans tidy earnings.
Yet we can do something.
About 81 200 or 81 300 added to the
fund of the Summer Outings Com
mittee will keep up Camp Good VIII
through all the ensuing two months
and a half of heat and sickness.
The whole amount can be paid in
pennies. Nickles from people like
us would make it up in no timd.
And dollar apiece! Why, a dollar
will keep a mother and her little
babe in its perilous second summer
out at Camp Good VIII until both
have new strength and spirit!
Then some of us can play the
banjo. Did you ever think of that
That your old banjo and your funny
little song about the Irish lady who
lost her ducks on the way to market
would have $40 or $50 worth of value
for the poor who spend their vaea
tions out in the country as your
! guests and mine?
Maybe we're a little afraid to sing
in public. Then we can tell stories
And out in Chicago the good womeT
and men near the summer camp:
wait on table when they can't do
anything else. That is a charity
which has the virtue we run serious
danger of losing in this twentieth
century of organization and paid ad
