Brown, superintendent of the International Shoe Lacing Co, Malve Ark., at the convention BY MRS. ERNEST R. GRANT. Chairman, Tuberculosis Children's Sanato- Tium Commitiee, The Summer camp for tuberculosis children that opened last week at Four- teenth and Upshur streets is filled to capacity with 50 little folks, ranging from 3 to hi2 years of age, while 74 children who could not be accommo- dated are on the waiting list. The camp, on a wooded hilltop, is made up of a group of what might ap- pear to a child to be playhouses, topped with canvas, like circus tents, which nestle among the shady green trees. Surrounding a sunny open square they are screened on all four sides and opened wide to catch every breeze that blows. The youngsters spend all their play time and rest time in the open square, where a radio plays. And if by chance you should. arrive at the camp between the hours of 1 and 3:30 p.m. you would find this sunny playground filled with 50 khaki-colored cots, and one each cot, resting, a child whose sun-tanned body is taking on a most fashionable hue. For Old Sol, playing his ultra-violet and infra-red rays over their small, thin bodies, is giving them a treatment that s called heliotherapy, ot sun treatment.
