Air Fund
100000 Needed to Pro-
vide $4,000 Vacations
for City's Poor Children:
lamps Ready for Them

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund needs
100000.
What for?
To buy vacations with-13,o0 of
them, each one two weeks long, each
one for needy little lad or lass of the
tenements Of New York City.
Will you contribute toward this vaca-
tion fund and help to give fortnight
in the country to child who will spend
the whole summer in the blisterinp
streets unless The Tribune Fund cakes
him out of them?
Seven dollars from you will give one
child his fortnight, fourteen will allow
brother or sister to go with him,
twenty-one will make three children
happy. And you may provide for the
happiness of as many as you wish or
can afford.
They will be good vacations, too.
Thousands of children who have en-
Joyed The Funds hospitality in the
past stand ready to shout their CON
lrmation of that. And hundreds of
child welfare workers who have watched
Fresh Airs" go out wan and listless
and come back tanned and brimminp
with life will add their testimony to
the same effect
Ihey are good outings-but cheap
Can you think OF any other way in
which you could provide a child with
a pleasant two weeks in the country
for rs little money?
Half of thp 0O0 +.
will spend their fortnights in The
FUNDS vacation camps. Read the list
OF those camps and see whether you
tlsnk they are so located as to make
enjoyable and profitable vacations pos
slole. Here are the camps:
FIRST, there is Ashford Hill, at Ards
ley, N. Y. II comprises se<nty-six
acres of woodland on hilltop lust
across the road from the St. Andrews
Golf Club, where millionaires are said
to follow caddies around the links. It's
six buildings will accommodate $50
boys and girls at time.
-, Second in point of size comes the
Sheppard Knapp Farm, in the Litch-
buildings hold beds and other essen
tials for $50 boys. It's twenty-six acres
give wide space for play aud ample
room for garden which produces the
best Of vegetables faster than the 25O
boys can eat them.
Third in size is Bethany Home, at
Amltyvilie, L. L., accommo odating $50
girls or boys at one time. 1t stands by
itself on a point of land projecting in
to the Great South Bay. From its
enormous breeze-swept verandas the
waters of the bay are an easy stone s
throw away
Eunice Home. just outside Atlantic
Highlands, N. j., stands on hilltop
With clear view across the harbor to
Coney Island. 1t is devoted to little
mothers" and houses 100 at time.
St. Helen's Home. at InterIaken,
Mass, is of the same size, but accom-
modates both boys and girls at the
same time. 1t is in the heart of the
Eerkshires and within five minutes
walk of the Stockbridge Bowl, most
beautiful of Berkshire lakes.
A third camp of 100 capacity is

Neighbors Fill Larder
Nortn OHoIe po4luay mouse, WHlCh
holds sixty girls comfortably, is at
farm garden of its own, for it's neigh
bors keep its larder full to overfowing
with the best the season provides.
Happy Land, best named of Fresh
Air vacation places, is at Tenafly,
N. j. 1t consists of one building, with
the most modern of appointments, sit
uated in a beautiful grove. 1t takes
in fifty small girls every fortnight
and not one of them ever left it's
doors without the feeling that she was
indeed leaving happy land behind her.
Elm Cottage is, compared with other
Fresh Air camps, tiny place, having
in party But its small size makes
possible a sort of family life not at
tainable at larger camps. 1t is at
Fairfield, Conn, within five minutes
walk of the Sound shore.
One of The Funds camps, the Dew
ereux Memorial at Deposit, N. Y, is
to be held in reserve at the beginning
of the summer. Its great distance

eighty children. If the public's re-
sponse to appeals for support of the
WORK MAKES IL poSSlUlS IHlS pace, LOO,
will be opened and kept full of chill
dren throughout the summer.
