The nbune
Fresh Air Fund

To-day the tide of fresh air chill
dren flowing to the country reaches it's
flood for the week.
One thousand boys and girls pass
through The Tribune Fresh Air Funds
gate to vacation land during the five
days Monday to Friday inclusive. This
means that the fund is beginning for
these children monster vacation of
$4,000 days.
1t means that the fund began on
Monday the manufacture of at least
1000 pounds, solid ton, of flesh and
blood, to be added to the moagrc bod
les of the thousand tenement children.
The tide of boys and girls began to
swell gently on Monday, when eighty
two youngsters set out for vacations
at Chittenango, N. Y. and New Mil
ford, Conn. Yesterday it gathered mo-
mentum and 1S2 lads and lassics be-
gan to pick the wild flowers and in
hale the ozone near Wurtzboro, Hor-
nell, Alfred, Canisteo and Almond,
n. Y.
d20 More Go To-day
To day, at it's food, the tide carries
420 laughing youngsters out under the
open skiesgfor a total Of $3.50 days of
sunshine, fresh air and fun. To-mor-
row the food will subside little and
only 175 boys will fee the city's heat
and dirt. And Friday the flood Will
have dropped still further-though 1T
will still be running strong, with l31
girls finding their way into vacation
land.
Wednesday is not only the flood tide
day of the present week, but also the
big day of the season in one respect.
1t will see the departure from the city
of the seasons biggest single party of
Fresh Air vacationists 1S9 youngsters
bound for the ncighborhood of Bing
hamton, N. Y. In order not to lose any
of their allotted two weeks, this party
will get off to an early start at S g. m.
this morning.
The remaining 231 children of to-
days parties are to be distributed at
Chapel Hill, N. j., Tenafy, N. j., Ca
naan, Conn.,, and Warwick, n. Y.
Thursdays and Fridays parties Of
children are both to go to the funds
Fresh Air home at Ardsley. n. Y.
Next Weeks Crowd
On saturday, altnOuSn there are TO
be no children started for the country,
the city staff of the fund will put in
one of the busiest days of the season
selecting, examining and arranging for
the departure of a small multitude of
boys and girls who are to be sent away
on Monday next to Danbury, Lime
rock, Sharon and other points in Con-
nccticut, and Copake Falls and Miller
ton, n. Y.
There seems to be no limit to the
hospitality of the country people where
the "Fresh Airs" are concerned this
year. Day after day finds the flood of
invitations still pouring into The Trib-
une Fund Office.
But there is one disquieting feature
of the Fresh Air situation to-day.
Though the day sees the record party
of the season starting for the country,
though 1000 boys and girls will reach
the country this week by way of The
Tribune Fund gate, the funds contribu-
tions acknowledged to-day are. the
smallest of the summer to date.
