The summer sun, with its heavy rays
of heat. accompanied by humid and de-
biIitating effects, is bearing down again
upon the homes of the poor and the IN
fortunate in the by-ways and alleys OF
the National Capital.
Humanity-yes, the same poor who we're
ilI-fed and ill-cIothed and shivering last
winter-are sweltering under the burden
Of this terrible heat The poor cannot
steal away from these distressing condi-
tons without help. To keep the spark Of
life burning steadily to foster militant
citizenship among such surroundings,
breath Of fresh air now and then for the
poor. wan mother and her offspring are
necessary. In Washington the summer
outings committee of the Associated
Charities has made this possible.
Every year the number OF women and
children, invalids. and aged persons, who
participate in the "fresh air" feast or
this noble enterprise Is on the increase
and Washingtons charitable citizens have
been well repaid for the cost in the con-
seriousness of the healthier and happier
citizenship of Il cir less fortunate sisters
and brothers.
Committee Kept Busy.
| The summer outings committee has
been busy making its plans for the pres
ent year since the closing Of last sum-

During the winter months the visiting
agents of the organization, in connection
with their other duties, pick out the
mothers and children who come under
their observation whom they deem the
most needy and the most helpless.
These names and recommendations are
carefully filed at the Office Of the Asso-
ciated Charities, and when the summer
comes with its depressing neat these poor
sufferers are given outings at the sum-
mer camps-Camp Good VIII, or Camp
Pleasant
