The chair and in its sift to the Baby Camp
is expressed a fathers appreciation OF
what it means this illness OF the little
ones, for quite recently he lost his own
baby.
Two small boys, little older than most
of the patients at the camp. are able to
sit up and as they sit enthroned in this
chair. an honor enjoyed in turns, their
appreciat ton Is expressed by smiles.
This is the spirit which constructed the
camp, this sympathetic desire to aid in
the equipping of the much needed instl-
tuition. The impulse is Of splendid kindli-
ness, an impulse which will be readily
understood since 1t has it's representative
in most every heart. But to realize how
splenddly the impulse Is expressed in the
working OF the camp, only an actual visit
will do
In lieu of the real visit, possibly de-
scription OF a real visit will help some.
The camp is situated on the brow of
the hill north Of RiVervicw park. II is
itself surrounded by trees and the impress
sion Is Of woods. However, It's location
on the high point makes IL sure of a visit
from all the zephyrs from. the open out
door country, laden with the fresh. life
giving country air. The camp is breeze
swept, literally, and the babies, when they
become accustomed to the surprising lux
ury of the sweet, cool air, smile and drink
it in greedily. Looking out from the camp,
if you do not look north, you see only
the cool green roofs of trees.
A large house tent. built quite high from
the ground is the main, or ward tent. In
this are the small white iron cribs, two
rows of them, To the north of this main
tent is the supply tent. Southwest of
this is smaller house tent, the sleeping
apartments of the nurses. The fourth tent
is supply tent

When this visitor arrived at 10 o'clock one

several different kinds of foods prescribed
for the babies, a different one for each
baby. 1t should be remembered that

XIII and take part in the election of Pope
Plus X, It was rumored that he stood
chance of being made pope. At any
event, he made such a good impression
that through his good offices the new
pope, on August of that year, received
200 American pilgrims. That was the first
reception that the new pope had held, and
it was regarded as remarkable that so
many Americans should have been admitted
at that time
The following day Cardinal Gibbons was
received I'm private by Pope Plus Y, and
through him was given the apostolic bens-
diction for the people of America.
Cardinal Gibbons mas always LED an 40
tive life and, although the weight Of his
years are bearing him down, he finds time
to attend an enormous number OF church
ceremonies in all sections of Baltimore and
the surrounding. country. on the first
Sunday of each month he breaches the
sermon in the cathedral, and each New
Years day he holds a public reception,
which is notable because Of the hundreds
who shake him by the hand, many OF whom
are not Of his faith.
For many years he has spent his annual
vacations at Southampton, long Island
aud along about the time for the carnival
at New Orleans he takes trip to that
city. He is attached TO that city, not
only because he spent his boyhood there,
but because his mother is buried in the

versary of Cardinal Gibbons ordination to
the priesthood and viii also close his
twenty-fifth year of elevation 10 the car
dinalate.
The interesting story of Cardinal Gibbons
life is set forth in the following biographical
sketch:
James Cardinal Gibbcns was born in
Baltimore July %, 1884 and the greater
part Of his life has been spent in that city,
and although his ecclesiastic dugies have
claimed most OF his time. he has. neverthe-
less closely identified himself with the in
forests OF the city and his influence has
been felt In every movement for civic bet
terment, His simplicity of manner, his
unaffected dignity and kindliness has won
for him tho love and esteem of men and
women In every walk of life without regard
10 their religious affiliations.
His parents, Thomas and Mary Gibbons,
migrated from ireland to the United states
in 1923, making their home in the Monu-
mental city In 1886 wheA the cardinal was
but 2 yearl old, lis parents returned 10
ireland, where the father d ed shortly after.
Remaining in the cid country but short
time after the death Of her husband, MIS-.
Gibbons returned to the United states,
but moved 70 New Orleans, where her son
was sent 10 the public schools and given
his early education
Between the age Of IS and II years The
cardinal clerked in grocery store, hat

went TO St. Charles college at Elhcott Cay.

again out at the Open Air Camp for
Babies, which the Visiting Nurses associa-
ton has established at Eighth and Ban
croft streets, are fourteen of these little
people in whom the springs of life have
gone somewhat awry. Out at this camp is
eentered the anxiety OF not one, but many
households, but none OF the anxiety finds
expression at the camp itself: there 1t is
supplanted by quiet, efficient and watchful
care and untiring effort to WOO back
health and strength
Certainly the idea or the vision Of a
baby in whom life har become a weari-
some thing tugs at the heart strings The
camp established on the hills north Of
Riverview park is witness to the fact that
It tugs also at the purse strings and people
contribute gladly, generously to the pro-
ject whose object is to renew in these
weary little people, health. This camp is
entirely an expression of this spirit.
Last spring, by public subscription, a
fund was raised for the establishment OF
this open air camp, a subscription fostered
by the association in charge, the Visiting
Nurses. Then when IL came time to erect
the camp, q site was donated, tents were
contributed. their erection made possible
for further gifts. furnishings added, bust
ness firms and single citizens vieing with
one another in generosity. The ice supply,
the milk supply we're provided by phlan-
thropic people, Many of the beds and their
furnishings. likewise, were gifts. The camp
really is an expression Of the public's
desire to see that the city's sick babies
have access to those three great healing
agencies, clean air, clean food and good
care.
One Of the most cherished of gifts at
the camp is one which embodies in itself
the fine spirit back of all the gifts. This
is a neat, compact high chair, mission
style. and cleverly constructed both for
comfort and size, In the construction Of

visiting nurses forcefully realized the need
for such a camp. In August alone there
were seventy mine deaths among the
babies.
The officers of the Visiting Nurses aEso-
citation are: Mrs. Luther Kountze, presi-
dent; Mrs Herbert NJ. Rogers. honorary
president; Mrs. Thomas Fitzpatrick, vice
president; Miss Alice Buchanan, secretary;
Miss Louise Mcpherson, treasurer; Mr.

Dorsey, head nurse.

for in many instances ills are directly due
to ignorance. Interest in the camp and
SIS workings has been expressed in the
"a sc number OF visitors. tweuty-four visi-
tons in one day is so far the record.
These who come to see usually end by
wishing TO help and there are still nu-
merous ways in which they can do so. Just
at present kitchen table and pair Of
scales for weighing the babies and so re-
c3rding their gain, are the two largest
needs.

The Visiting Nurses association, the or
ganzauon which is responsible for the
camp, may be, itself, not too well known in
its good work The object of The association,
succinctly set forth, is the sending Of
trained nurses to relieve the i'll and desti-
tute in their homes; to teach them the
Importance of cleanliness the simple rules
of healthful living. and how to care for
the sick" This object certainly finds one
good expression in the baby camp. 1t
