Contribution from Berkshire
Hills Will Furnish Two
Weeks Outing.

It's a long way from the Berkshire
Hills to Atlantic Highlands pretty
close to 200 miles as the crow flies.
Nearly 200 miles by air line, yes; but
by Fresh Air line that's something
else again.
Either the Fresh Air line distance Is
much shorter negligible, in factor
else there must be some sort of bridge
that connects the two, flying arcn
that springs from the Hills to the
Highlands and from the Highlands TO
the Hills. For there were hearts IN
the Highlands last night that touched
hearts in the Hills.
Those in the Hills were what you
would call kind hearts. Those IN the
Highlands were what anybody couid
spot at once as glad hearts.
The glad hearts inhabited the BODIES
of one hundred girls who sailed down
the way 70 the Highlands yes.
terday afternoon to be the guests OF
the tribune Fresh Air Fund for the
next two weeks at Eunice Home. They
began to DC glad about o'clock, when
they had obtained their city health
certificates from the Tribune Funds
examining physician. And they restiy
got into their full stride wnen th'
United States health officer had issued
their Federal certincstes a little later
and they realized that the last DAT
between them and their country yaca-
tons had been climbed over.
All Fears Past.
OF course, they Quickened their
stride q bit when they were actually
installed in their quarters at the
home. with doubts and fears and trou,
bles about death certificates behind
them and only the open country be-
fore them. As the country air braces
them up and they grow more NJ
physically, they may even be able 10
put a little more ginger still into the
stride of their gladness.
So much for the glad hearts: For
the kind hearts look below in the list
OF contributors to the Fresh Air Fund
for to-day. berkshire Fresh Air Fund
S7O7.30," is the first item in the list
Some time ago some people in the
Berkshire region said among them
selves. Lets do something again tins
wear to help the Tribune Fresh AIT
Fund send some poor boys and girls
from the hot tenements to the coun-
try" -,
So they set to work with a will, and
Yesterday sent to the fund the contri-
button listed. AS a matter Of TACT
Ill.,, nracadad this pi II with two others
amounting to sl67.40, so that their real
kindness of heart must be measured by
the sum of SS74.1O.
The connection between the glad
hearts and the kind hearts is clear
1t will cost about $500 to provide the
outings for the hundred girls at
Eunice Home. This money is to be
paid from the contribution of the
Berkshire Fresh Air Fund. No doubt
il will change the kind hearts in the
Hills to glad hearts to know this.
Gave si,4oo Last Year.
The best of the whole matter is
however. that the Berkshire kind
hearts haven't said they were through
with their kindness yet. and, as last
year they sent the Tribune Fund more
than 81 400, 70 use in the work OF
gladdening hearts, they will probably
be responsible for another hundred
glad hearts at Eunice Home before
the summer closes.
Are you ambitious TO make hearts
glad? Learn how from these kind
hearts Of the Berkshire region.
