The Tribune Fresh Air Fund

Old Hi Temperature and Mr. Hugh
Nudity have been doing their level best
for the last two weeks to make the
population Of New York City uncom-
fortablc--and with great success.
You know all about that Mr.. Tribune
Reader, don't you?
But you don't either
You don't know how hot it has been
in the tenement houses of the city.
You don't know how the pitiful little
Johnnies and Susies Of the tenement
streets have suffered while Old Hi and
Mr.. Hugh have been rampaging around
dom their derndest.
And we aren't going to try to make
you more uncomfortable by picturing
the sufferings Of these streets and
homes. You can guess without pic
ture what sizzling ovens those shut-in,
! ill-ventilated tenement homes must be.
You can imagine what frying griddles
those unshaded streets are.
Tribune Fund to Their Aid
The Johnnies and the Susies have a
choice only between baking in the
ovens or frying on the grddles.
Except when The Tribune Fresh Air
Fund comes along and takes them out
of the ovens and snatches them off the
griddles and transports them to the
country-the blessed country, where
the grass is cool to bare feet, where
every vagrant breeze that blows gets a
chance to sweep through the rooms in
which they sleep.
Except The Tribune Fund comes
along! But it comes along only if you
are behind it Mr.. Reader. 1t can
snatch these little tenement dwellers
away from their sufferings only if you
support it with your spare--or other
dollars.
Seven dollars takes one Johnny or
one Susie off the griddle for two weeks
BE rescuer to-day, won't you! You'll
feel cooler after you've mailed a check
to The Tribune Fund.
Through The Funds efforts few
more than 1900 children have been
sent to country vacation places since
the public schools closed for the sum-
mer; They have escaped the worst
of this hot spell.
Next week Lat more will begin va
cations, as the schedule now stands
Additions will doubtless be made to the
schedule before the week is over.
At least 100 other vacation parties of
various sizes already have been plann ID
Tor later dates in the summer. Vaca-
ton places are ready for thousands of
boys and girls. The only important
factor in the whole plan that is not yet
certain is the money factor There
Will be no uncertainty about this if
every lover of children will do his part
