SUMMER OUTING PLEA
FOR POOR CHILDREN
Visit to Camp Good Will Reveals Re-
lief Work the Charitable
Are Doing.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In company with friends the writer
recently visited the summer camp for
children, known as Camp Good Will,
which is located near Rock creek, about
three-quarters of a mile northwest from
the terminus of the 14th street
car line at Piney. branch road. and about
an equal distance west from the Georgia
avenue car line at Brightwood.
The camp is beautifully situated in a
wooded and hilly country. We found
about 14o children and II mothers enjoy
ing the life in the open All sleep in
tents and eat in common dining room
in the rear of comfortable old farm
house. 1t was joy to watch the chill
dren rolling on the grass and playing
under the trees. Two weeks spent in
such an environment have saved the life
of many a child whose home is in the
hot and overcrowded city.
Our cities were evidently not built for
children. The "grown-ups"-at least
those who have decent homes in which
to live--can sit on their dOorsteps in hot
weather and can get along fairly we'll,
but the little ones need place where
they can play. Nature demands that
they shall be active in order that their
bodies may develop Their parents do
not like to have them play in the streets
for they know that many precious little
life has been crushed out by street cars
and speeding automobiles.
Immediate Relief Needed.
The efforts which are being made to
provide additional Fairgrounds in this
city are commemorate, but they will not
help the thousands of children who must,
as a rule, play near their homes or not at
ALL Perhaps. after we become civilized.
we shall build our city homes in hollow
squares, with a playground in the center
of each square, where the kids of the
future will play in perfect safety. After
we become genuinely civilized will We not
also build OH the solid rock Of social jus
tice an industrial system in which there
will be no need of poverty or charity?
In the meantime, immediate relief Is
! necessary. If you feel that you are par
TALLY responsible for the health. safety
and welfare of the little ones who swarm
| in our city streets. visit Camp Good VIII
and you will appreciate the relief work
which good people are doing there. In
| cidentally, the camp needs money. Let US
| each contribute our mite to help the
| good work.

PLAN TO RAISE FUND
FOR SAFETY PRIZES
Contest Committee of Street
Association to Appeal for
$500 for Year Campaign.

That an effort be made to raise $500
with which to carry on a one-year cam
paign for street safety was decided at
meeting of the contest committee of
the Street Safety Association Of the
| District Of Columbia held in The Star
building yesterday afternoon
The contest committee consists of the
ways and means committee OF the or
gamzation and the chairmen of the
education and the membership commit
tees. Contributions to the fund will be
| acknowledged in The Star
1t was recently decided to try to raise
funds with which to carry on a prize
contest.
AS the association has rather we'll de-
nned plans. however, for various con-
tests and similar features to arouse in
terest in the campaign for the elimina-
tlon OF accidents, the committee yes
terday chose to undertake the raising
OF the FUND from which the various
sums needed might be taken rather
than to call on the public and business
men Tor smaller contributions during
| the entire year
In the recent 'RU4SS?'-"Are you
Tor street safety ?''-contest. in which $40
was onered to the Washington public,
the prizes were contributed by the
members of the association. This
money was derived solely from the con-
trlDutfons by individual members and

Question Up to Public.

Is 1t worth $500 to save lives from street
accidents? That is a question which. If
answered affirmatively by the public,

eddy will be used for educational pur-
poses. If any is left over at the end of
the year it will be used to further the
work.
