It is expected that 200 of these less favored youngsters will be provided for, and fbey will go under proper guidance and will be well provided for while they are enjojing themselves in a way which is rare for them. They will go to the Seaside Home at Coney Island, where they will be given the time of their young lives.

They will bathe in the surf, play in the sand, and be as free as the air for the two weeks. The Junior Eagle girls and boys who provide for the Fresh Air Fund have given generously, and representatives of the Children's Aid Society will be on hand to start the fun, arrange the parties, show how the games are played and otherwise enter into the spirit of the time for the pleasure of seeing the Fresh Air guests enjoy the vacation period.

OPP I have so often urged my nephews and nieces to wear their Humane Club buttons in order that they will be authorized to speak out in behalf Here are three very well-known children.

Probably you yourselves have seen them dozens of times, not in their own characters as here, but playing someone else, for they are all little movie stars. There is Aida Horton, who is a little star 'With lots of promise for future success. There are Bobbie Connolly and his sister Helen. Aida, you know, took part in an entertainment at the Hotel St. George last year for the MARIE AUSTING Your are not too young to be a Camp Fire Girl.

I do not know whether there is a local group near where you live. Apply to the headquarters in Manhattan, which is at 4G1 Fourth avenue. FLORENCE DICKIORSON I returned the pictures to you because they were colored and therefore could not be reproduced in the paper. When you make drawings intended for publication you must use jet black waterproof ink. The picture must measure 4 or 8 inches in width if intended for the daily edition of the Junior Eagle and 6 inches if it is to be printed in the Sunday edition.

JANE M. LYNAM There is no benefit of the Junior Eagle Fresh Air Fund. These children are not what you perhaps expect them to be off stage. They are just simple lovable little tots like all other well-behaved children. Just now they are listening to a story of an interesting kind and they enjoy it just as if they had never taken part in the big Vitagraph pictures.

Bobbie's dearest ambition is to become a fireman. In that respect he is like many other boys. Helen wants to become an artist. Aida has not made up her mind what she wants to be, but recently her mother bought her a Liberty Bond. She thought a Statue of Liberty would be included in the price and when she found it wasn't she wanted her mother to sell it to someone else and buy her a little baby brother.

Rosetta's a demure young maid, And on a recent day We thought it meet, just as a treat, To take her to the play. We chose the one where there's such fun With animals and things, And angels fair float in the air Or seem to float on wings. As it befell, I ought to tell, Her debut at the play Was made when she turned five you see 'Twas on that very day. Now quite spellbound she looked around At all tho people there; But when, amazed, her eyes wero raised And saw tho masses where, Perched up so high in balcony, They, too, enjoyed themselves, She whispered small, look at all The people on the shelves!" So cutely said, I fain would spread Her words amongst the elves, Who some day may see at the play, "The people on the shelves." tions, including the Junior Police of the 153d Precinct, of which I am chief inspector.

When you return to the city you will be refreshed and ready to take up your school work again. RUTH SWEENEY Your picture, of the boy spilling the ink, with "visions" of all the "repair, remodel," was better than the fifty-credit winner. The reason your picture was not awarded the first prizo is because you were late in sending it in, and it could not be made into a cut in time for the Sunday edition's two weeks schedule.
