A vacation a year till the world sndsl


That's what two friends" Of Fresh
Air "fellers" bought yesterday. A man
and his wife who ask to have their
names withheld did it by sending The
Tribune Fund 5000 to add to its endow-
ment fund, the income to be used an
nually in perpetuity to provide fort
night country vacation for child.
The money invested in Liberty bonds
will yield income sufficient to pay for
such vacation, even in these times Of
high prices.
Who else wants to make a child
after he "goes vest? If YOU do send
the fund 5000, with the request that it
be added to the Vacations in Per-
petuity Fund. What way to honor
the memory of some one who loved
children! The funds work goes on
forever, or until the millennium ar
rives and the poor are no longer
with US.
The establishment of this endowment
in perpetuity is a big thing for the
children of the present and the future.
But there was other big news for
Fresh Airs" yesterday. Westerly,
r. l., sent in list of invitations for
children to be entertained there which
summer to date. 1t calls for 1873 boys
and girls
In the same mail came letter from
Penn Van, N. Y, which suggests that
perhaps Westerly is not to hold the
seasons record for any length of time.
Writing of prospects there, the general
chairman of the fifteen committees
working in the churches of the place
says: "I'll have enough invitations for
carload and maybe two" Think of
the times the "Fresh Airs" will have
on beautiful Keuka Lake when Penn
Yam takes them to it's neighborly heart!
All through the section of the state
in which Penn Yam is located hosts of
friends of the sfellers" are at work for
them. Binghamton soon will ask for
from 200 to 300 guests. Hornell, Corn
ing, CASTLE, Scio, Cortlandt, Bath CO.
hocton, Norwich, Hammondsport, Way
land, Oxford, Sherburne, Greene, Earl
Vile and other places too numerous to
mention are making up long lists of in
vitations which will soon come food
ing in.
Owego has already asked for about
eighty youngsters, and Waverly wants
seventeen.

such a picnic.

FAR EASTERN SUBWAY

Tokyc-The' charter for the build
ing of an underground railway has
been given by the railway authorities
to Mr.. Tokuji Hayakawa and other
promoters, who some time ago pre-
sented an application for the rights.
The project will take several years,
and when completed will be the first
underground railway in the Far East
The capital of the company will at
first be yen 25,OOO,O00 1t is planned to
accomplish the work in three periods,
the trunk line reaching from Shina-
gawa to Asakusa via Uyeno to be the
first. 1t is estimated that this line will
be built in three years, and can be
opened to the public at the end of that
time. Branch lines will be opened
later, the whole system to be COM
pleted in about ten years. 1t is thought
that the new system will do much to-
ward relieving the congestion of pas
