GIRLS ENJOYING CAMP
LIFE NEAR SLIGO, ND.
Outdoor Games and Bathinu
Provided for Members of
Junior League Club. !:

Happy lin their freedom from the heat
of the city. the girls who are at the
Junior League Club camp at Alton farm.
near Sligo, Md, yesterday completed a
week of almost perfect happiness and.
pleasure. Several girls left the camp,
and others arrived to take their places.
but the contentment of the camp con-
tinued unabated
While people living in the city were
worrying over the heat last week, fif-
teen girls and young women at the camp
were enjoying the cool shelter of tower
ing trees and the refreshing pleasure OF
bathing in the miniature lake made by
the damming up OF a brook a few feet
from the camp
Under the direction and care of Miss
Helen Woodman, the experienced resi-
dent manager of the camp the girls
found fun in basket ball. bowling and
many other games. The library and
writing room fitted up near the camp
also was well patronized, and the girls
were in a position to indulge almost any
kind Of fun their hearts desired.
Camp Is Ideally Located.
The camp. which is closed in on three
sides by dense woods. and Is bounded on
the other by rolling fields, could not
have been placed in a better location,
according to the unanimous opinion OF
the girls 1t is just far enough from
street cars and railroad trains TO be
real outdoor camp. and at the same time
all modern conveniences are within
res oh.
The spring of cool water found bub-
bling near the camp has proved an espe-
cial pleasure to the girls. and IL has be-
come IA ftvurite gathering place for
them. The wate-, which has been tested
by the health department, has proved a
real find.
The camp IS TO lie continued until Sep
TENDER II, to enable many girls as
possible 10 take advantage of its posi-
bilitIcS. Miss Brown, care % Junior

Interested in Campaign.

Following is list of the firms which
have taken an active interest in the cam
paign for safe streets:
The Terminal Taxicab Company prom
ised a donation to the fund. gave the
committee several good pointers for
street safety, and the general manager.
J. j. Boobar became an active member
of the organization.

no action until the return of Mr.. Wood
ward to the city. William Wade Everett,
the general manager, became an active
member.

The W. II. West General Insurance
Company yook interest and promised as
sistance.
The Fidelity Casualty Company of New
York was interested and promised to
take the matter up with the home Office.
One Firm Indifferent
The members were considerably sur
pFised however. when a few days ago
they were told by one large firm which
uses large number of vehicles tat the
matter of street safety did not worry
the firm in the least. You see we are
insured in casualty company, so it real
~ makes no difference how many acct
dents we have, for we are fully pro-
tected.
Somewhat astonished. the committee
found its way out of the building. Sec
ond thought convinced the members that
II might be a good plan to try the vari-
GUS casualty companies. This was done
with Indifferent results.

anything for street safety" explained the

Recently the directors of the Play

Captain Myers stated yesterday that
he had refused such requests from a
number OF private organizations, on
the ground that as the pool was a

as soon as 1t became public property.
the discipline and effectiveness of the

Upon motion of Captain Mccarthy
the board accepted Captain Myers
protest, and declined to grant the use
Of the pool to the playground people.
THE pool is too deep and dangerous
for boys. anyway" said Captain
Myers. THE proper place for a pool
for youngsters is at the riverside.
The Howitzers will contribute fifty
dollars toward the erection OF such
q pool, in order to show that We
stand ready at all times to do what
we can to push along any public
spirited movement. We have grant
ed the use Of our yard for play
