August the Greatest OF All Vacation Months

1HEN you live In big cit.
~ the problem Of how 70,
wv are going to pass the
month of August - the
most disagreeable In the year usually
looms large. It is the big vacation
month Of the year, and everybody
yearns for the country. the shady
hooks, the fresh air and the absolute
change in environment, surroundings
and conditions. The change and re-
Taxation really constitute the vacation.
So everybody who IL able takes q
rest. But think OF those In the city
who are not able, who live in the slurns
and never get away from the tall tere-
ments and ugly walls which cut off all
the breeze! Are they forgotten? Not
by any means.
In almost every city there exist or
ganizations which have been formed
for the very purpose OF caring for the
mothers and children. Nearly every
city has camp for the babies where
they are given plenty OF good whole
some food, plenty Of fresh air, scientific
care and are converted into entirely
different children. This charity has
grown in leaps and bounds, and peo-
pie are devoting as much attention to
months as they do in the cold.
Notable among such organizations IL
one conducted by New York newspa-
per, which daily gives thousands Of
tons Of Ice to the poor. One man do
mates ten tons to this fund each day.
The churches, the Young Mems and
Young Women's Christian associations
conduct camps for the youngsters and
each year sees the work carried on In
a bigger manner.
But those who love their vacations
most of all are the girls who earn their
own living. Their number is increas-
ing with great rapidity in every city.
and they look forward for eleven
months to their annual outings
Miss Anne Morgan, daughter OF the
late financier, realized the dif7iculties
faced by the great army OF New York
working girls and set about to remove
them. She has succeeded in an ad-
mirable manner. She wanted to give
these girls the chance to have the best
time on their available funds Camp
Inkowa is the result
It Is a beautiful spot where the self
supporting young woman may 60 for
a blissful two weeks, more or less, pro-
vided she can pay the sum OF So
week for her board, her lodging and a
good time, in which no element OF con-
descension or gratitude is mingled
Each girl who has been able to save
a few dollars desires to 60 somewhere
into the country and get all those
things which are otherwise impossible
for them. Some like to go to populous
beaches where there is continual ex-
oitement to be had. Others dread the
idea Of going to small hotels and I'm
attractive boarding houses which bring
little rest and no change to their faded
nerves.

 Not that we did not appreciate the music rendered by the choir that we men toned business first, but we were so Inn pressed with the growth of the negro, the business system in their own af- fairs and their splendid house of wor- ship.
 The choir of about two dozen voices rendered beautiful music, old-time hymns in the negro dialect. and the plantation melodies that are destined to finger as long as time lasts. These soulful hymns and tunes will be handed down to eacn successive genera ton. and will be treas ured by music lovers for their pathos, and held sacred by those who recal, the plantation memories of the long ago. The voices seem to dwell on these strains that have made a part of their race 8 history. and have had their partiin build ing the attention of those who love the song for it's individuality.

Whitted paid splendid tribute to ex-Governor O'Neal and stated he would address the people in this church on the night of May so and then there would be several hundred voices singing plan tation melodies.
