The Tribune Fresh Air Fund
Money to Pay for "Fresh Airs9 " Vacation h SHU
Short $3,586
Wanted, by Labor Day, $5,000. |
Received up to the day before Labor
Day, $1,418.80. i
On September 1 The Tribune Fund
took stock. The stock taking showed
that its expenses and receipts up to
that date almost exactly offset one
?another. That was good so far as it
went.
But the stock taking also showed
that on September 1 the Fund had in
the country at .its vacation homes 765
boys and girls whose vacations still
had to be paid for. The cost of those
vacations would be about $5,000.
The 765 vacations had been begun
and they must be carried through. It
surely would not do to turn the chil?
dren: about immediately after their
arrival in the country and march them
home again. What would the friends
of children think if the Fund had done
that?
j There was no other possibility oi
retrenchment: so the Fund, on Septem?
ber 2, asked *he friends of children U
provide $5,000 additional by Laboi
Day tdrpay the expenses of the 76E
vacations.
This is Labor. Day and the Fund's
request falls short of fulfillment bj
$3,586.20. Approximately 500 of th?
vacations still remain unpaid for.
The Fund's stock taking also showec
that about 1,500 of its supporters o
last year, who contributed more thai
$20,000 in 1919, hadn't remembered th
children and their vacations this sum
mer. That was the reason the mone
was asked for by Labor Day. It wa
assumed that all that was necessar
was to remind these friends of th
Fund's need for money to'have ther
supply it.
The Fund is still confident that the
will.
The "Fresh Airs" made a new frien
yesterday. The story of how it haj
pened goes back about ten days.
About that length of time ago
woman offered herself as camp lead?
at one of the Fund's vacation place
She had spent her life with childr?
and appeared to have the qualiflcatioi
necessary to success as a leader. SI
was offered a place, but before si
would accept it demanded an answer to
one question.,
"Do you give the children at your
camps enough to eat?" she asked. "?
couldn't bear to' work' with them if I
felt that1 they were being stinted."
She was assured that she need not
remain in her position if she found it
disagreeable in that respect. Yester?
day Bhe was still at the place to which
she had been assigned. While she was
watching her group of children at play
on the beach she was approached by a
motor party who had been looking on
with interest for some time.
Among ?other questions the party
asked her was the one she had asked
herself: "Do these folks ?rive the chil?
dren plenty to eat?"
Telling the story herself she said
later: "I had to laugh when I found
my own question coming back at me.
And the party laughed with me when
I told how I had asked the question my?
self before I'd take my job. And I
guess they gathered from my enthusi?
astic description of what I'd seen of
the work that there couldn't be much
question about the 'enouehness' of the
food supplied, for before they drove
off the man of yie party assured me
that he was going to send the Fund a
substantial check as soon as he got
back to his office after Labor Day."
Seeing the children is believing1?as
fardas The Tribune Fund's wofk is
con??fctned.

"Mothers Do Not Forget,"
Says Dr. Ella A. Boole,
Senatorial Candidate, An
swering Questionnaire
Hot Fight Expected at
Cleveland Over Whether
or Not the Legion
Should Enter Polities'
First of the candidates for public
office to answer the American Legion's
questionnaire on issues of interest to
veterans, Dr. Ella A. Boole, who as?
pires to the nomination for United
States Senator on the Republican and
Prohibition tickets, yesterday made it
plain that she is prepared to champion
all the legislation indorsed by the vet?
erans of the world war.
The questions were asked of Dr.
Boole by the 108th Infantry Post of the
Legion, one of the largest units in the
State.
"Mothers do not forget," Dr. Boole
said. "I mean to see that the ex
service man gets a square deal. It is
a matter of current report that the
Administration is not living up to its
promises to the men, that wounded
soldiers are being neglected and that
people do not minister to them as they
did when they first came home. We
need the influence of mothers to meet
this condition. Mothers never for?
get."
Of the questions propounded in the
questionnaire, Dr. Boole has the fol?
lowing to say:
"In regard to the adjustment of
compensation, known as the bonus,
favored by the American Legion, I be?
lieve that if the money can be made
^available it should be granted. As to
preferential appointment to civil ser?
vice positions for ex-service, men, I
approve, provided consideration is
taken of the fact that not all men who
did not enter the war are slackers.
We want to be fair to the man who
wanted to go, but could not.
"I am in favor of legislation to In?
crease the pensions and allowances of
the dependents of the men killed. I
also believe that legislation to provide
adequately for the support of men
wounded or disabled in war, and to
provide for vocational training for
such men, under the best possible con?
ditions, should be passed.
"I certainly am heartily in sympathy
with the principles set forth in the pre?
amble to its constitution."
The Legion and Politics
Officers of the Legion anticipate a
vigorous fight at Cleveland over the
question of whether or not the organi?
zation shall enter politics. Informa?
tion gathered frqm various states by
the American Legion Weekly discloses
that Beveral delegations will be in?
structed to insist that the bystander
policy on political issues be aban?
doned. . i

United States are pointing out to the
members that because the organization
placed faith in Congress and counted
upon the politicians to play fair the
veterans have received virtually noth?
ing in the way of beneficial legislation
since the .war ended.
- One state, California, has advocated
placing a Legion ticket in politics, and
individual members of the Legion have
abandoned their former reserve and are
running for office.
Armistice Day Committee

are arranging to hold impressive cere?
monies on Armistice Day. A commit?
tee already is at work arranging a pro?

man. Other members are Thomas F.
Wilcox, Air Service Post; George L.
Cohen, Title Guaranty and Trust Post;
Sidney Gumpertz, S. Rankin Drew Post?
and Thomas F. Berkery, Manhattan
Post.
To Visit Sick and Wounded
Another new committee, which has
an important task ahead, is that named
to arrange a program in New York
County for the visiting of ex-service
men and women in hospitals. Dr. A. L.
Boyce, of Tiger Post, is chairman of
the committee, the other members be?
ing Dr. Jerome Wagner, Broadway
Post; Mrs. Alice Clark, Barbara
Frietchie Post, and John J. McCarthy,

By Gratitude of
France to America
Knights of Columbus Over?
sea? Director Returns;
Pilgrimage to Metz Was
a Journey of Triumph
William P. Larkin, overseas director
of the Knights of Columbus, who went
to France ahead of the pilgrimage of
the Knights to the City of Metz re?
turned yesterday on the French liner
France, from Havre.
While abroad he received the dec?
oration of the Legion of Honor from
France, and was designated by tho
Pope as a Knight Commander of the
Order of St. Gregory. On his coat he
wore the* small button of the French
honor which had been bestowed upon
him by Marshal Foch soon after he had
delivered the speech of presentation
when the Knights' gift of the statue of
Lafayette was formally presented to
France.
Mr. Larkin said the enthusiasm of
the French for the visiting Knights was
boundless, and on many occasions
the French authorities, the French gen?
erals and the French people showed
touching demonstrations of their grati?
tude and love for America.
The feeling of France for the United
States is so deep, he said, that the Euro?
pean republic would be willing to
forego the sympathy of England if she
could make firmer the bonds between'
herself and America.
"France could not have given us a
more fervent reception," he said. "She
treated us like a homecoming victori?
ous army from the moment we landed
on French sail. Our trip from Havre
to Metz was a journey of triumph. Gen?
eral Mangin, commander of the Franco
American troops at Chateau Thierry
and Belleau Wood, took us over the
famous battlefields.
"Sometimes, when he was describing
certain features of the conflict, this
wonderful soldier wept like a child.
We all went to Verdun where the bat?
tle was explained to us by General
P?tain. Foch, the greatest soldier?? of
them all, was with us throughout. We
recognized in him the most democratic
of all the French military leaders. I
recall seeing him sitting at the ban?
quet after the presentation of the
statue of Lafayette chatting pleasant?
ly with those near him.
"Presently, ? when the coffee was
served, and those around the tables
began to light their cigars and cigar?
ettes, Foch took from his pocket a
small briar pipe, lighted it and puffed
away contentedly.
"We were much impressed by our
visit to the cemetery at Romagne,
where lie> 27,000 of our dead. If our
people at home could observe the care
the French are bestowing upon the
graves of Americans who fell within
her borders, they would not desire to
have their dead disturbed."
