Summer Outings Committee Of the Asso-
eiated Charities In many a home in the
city, where, for lack Of means, other
vacation Is forbidden. active preparations
are being made to ut out the children.
who next week will go to Camp Good
WIN and Camp Pleasant Wherever II
is possible for the mother TO leave home
with the children she is invited 70 90,
too, so that the vacation may be fam
fly outing. A tent is provided for each
family group, so far as possible, and
where the mothers cannot go their chill
dren are looked after by some neighbor
who is wiling to take them into her
tent with her own little brood.
As usual. the physicians Of the city
are showing their interest by volunteer
ing to examine the several parties Of
children before they leave the city.
Those who have volunteered for Camp
Good win are as follows: Dr. Jesse II.
Ramsburgh. DR.. Victor Hammond, DR..
Joseph Heller, DR.. Dwight G. smith. DR..
Joseph r Biggs. DR.. Joseph B. Began.
DR.. J. L Thompson, DR.. z. L. Mason,

More Money Needed.
The great need Of the committee at the
present time is money-more money. To
feed and care for 200 children and their
guardians a week. which is the quota
provided for at the camps, is an ex-
pensive proposition. At least $500 week
is needed for this purpose.
The aim Of the committee is to provide
a place and a two weeks outing for
every poor child in the city Of Washing
ton, who can be benefited and who must
otherwise go without a country holiday.
The spirit of the givers is illustrated by
a letter such as this:
Il send you my check for so to help
the good work among the children and
babies. A good friend has hslped me
with my subscription, and we each wish
1t were more"
