Al Capone used to visit his tubercular brother at Saranac Lake. (The Gallery, DPC)

Baby Hospital CampFrom backintime: One of the earliest facilities introduced into Rock Creek Park was Camp Goodwill. This summer camp for deprived white children and their mothers began its operations in 1905 under the sponsorship of the Committee on the Prevention of Consumption. .... Camp Goodwill and its affiliate, the Baby Hospital Camp, were placed on the Cowden and Freas farms, which were located between the Milk House Ford and Sixteenth Street to the north of Military Road. Therapeutic Air Washington Post, Jul 28, 1912 The Baby Hospital Camp, the new annex to Camp Good Will, will be open Friday, August 2, from 5 to 8 o'clock in the evening. Situatated on a breezy ridge in Rock Creek park the hospital is the pride of the camp. Its screened porches allow full advantage of the country air, and are ideal for the care of children. Mothers are then trained in the scientific care of their babies. Washington Post, Aug 4, 1912 The baby hospital at Camp Good Will, has been in operation during the past few days, and is the most popular branch of the work there. Instructors began their first lessons in the scientific care of the baby, and many mothers absorbed every modicum of information given them. Two dozen babies, sickly and wan are now in the cool, sanitary hospital and a ruddier color in their cheeks and a more playful attitude bespeaks the good accomplished by the camp. The retreat is as cool as the floating hospitals of New York, according to the officials of the Associated Charities. Navy Yard week at the camp begins today. Instead of their regular river excursions for widows and children, employees of the navy yard decided to support 150 mothers and children at the camp for a week. There will be athletic events and handsome prizes given. Frank De Groot is in charge of the arrangements for the week. (The Gallery, D.C., Medicine, Natl Photo)

The device on the table is a microphone stand containing two carbon button microphones - I have seen similar microphones in other photos from WRC and WJZ in New York, RCA's two stations in the early 20s. Two microphones were often used because the old carbon mics had the bad habit of freezing up, in which case the other microphone would continue the broadcast. (Technology, The Gallery, D.C.)

Mary Faith McAdooSince we know a bit about Ellen McAdoo, here are some facts about her younger sister, who was 3 when this photo was taken: Mary McAdoo was about five years younger than Ellen, born in New York City on April 6, 1920, and named for her paternal grandmother. Her mother, Eleanor, daughter of Woodrow Wilson, was 25 years younger than her father, William G. McAdoo. It was his second marriage, his first wife having died in 1912. They divorced in 1934. Eleanor announced Mary's engagement to Gerald James, an artist at Walt Disney Studios, in May 1940, but they never married. Mary wed Donald Wilson Thackwell in 1946. He died in 1962. She married Nicholas M. Haddad in 1966, but they divorced in 1969. Her last marriage was to Russell Vernon Bush in 1970. Mary died in Goleta, California, on Nov. 14, 1988, at age 68. She had no children. Much ado for McAdoosThese two sisters did not end up with overly happy lives despite their wealth. Ellen (the bigger sister) died in 1946 after 2 marriages and divorces, and a very racist father who wanted to make sure she only married someone 100% Caucasian. She was 31 years old when she died. Mary Faith (who was three in this picture) at least lived to age 68 but had 3 marriages and divorces. (The Gallery, D.C., Kids, Natl Photo)

Dr. Brothers will return next week to decide whether to keep the $8,000 or risk it against $16,000." New York World-Telegram and Sun Photo Collection. View full size. The Out-Foxy LadyNot only did Joyce Brothers not take part in the shenanigans that led to the notorious "quiz show scandal" of the 1950s, she out-foxed the perpetrators. By becoming, on her own, an expert in the unlikely field of professional boxing, she was able to successfully field tricky questions designed to throw her over in favor of contestants the producers felt - incorrectly, as it turned out - were more audience-friendly. She eventually won the $64,000, then went on to win the top prize on The $64,000 Challenge. Part of my childhoodI remember as a teenager of 15 watching this show with my family. Dad was a fight fan and he and I used to watch "The Friday Night Fights From Madison Square Garden" religiously and between the announcers chatter and dad's comments I had picked up a little boxing lore. We both knew answers in the early rounds and dad even got a few right a little later but both of us were blown out of the ring when a "mere woman" won in that category. My first lesson in finding out that there is no such thing as a "mere woman." (The Gallery, Pretty Girls, Sports, TV)

From the collection of negatives I recently purchased, the upstate New York woman again, this time with a companion and a tower; I hope some Shorpyite can identify it. It's brick, and obviously made as an observation tower, but where? As far as we know nothing like this existed at Trenton Falls, but we know she'd visited Niagara Falls and cruised the Hudson River on the 400 ft. Hendryck Hudson, but we haven't found this curious tower anywhere. View full size. Water towerThanks! I knew someone would come through. I've lived in this area all my life and never knew this thing existed. Surge TowerThat's a surge tower, a vertical tank located at the downstream end of a closed aqueduct or penstock. It acts to relieve sudden pressure surges when a valve is closed and also acts as a reservoir in case of a sudden demand for water. Re: Surge TowerThat makes sense. In 1906, I believe, the park was converted to a hydroelectric facility and a large wooden pipe ran from a dam to a generator downstream. The original wood has since been replaced by steel. There is a large steel tower at the base today. Near Trenton Falls, N.Y.From a vintage postcard. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

I'm not sure what "bad conditions" Mr. Tebbutt was referring to (leaving used chewing gum on the arm rests instead of underneath the benches?) but there would only be so much disapproved social behavior from the teen set that the tight, overwhelmingly Roman Catholic, Fall River culture would tolerate before the whip would come cracking down.

Did not do boffo box office!Owing to the confusion of Met patrons, the unfortunately titled masterwork "Closed for the Summer" died an unlamented death and its author, composer Johann Amadeus Metesky, best known for the ever unpopular Symphony in C Minus, closed up shop, retired from the trade and ultimately sired a mad bomber. Pretty much still the caseOut of curiosity, I went to the Metropolitan Opera website schedule for this month of August. Not one thing listed for the entire month. Have they not heard of air conditioning? Museums and movies learned long ago that audiences are there during the summer. Traditional performing arts, though, still tend to leave their expensive facilities mostly empty for a quarter of the year while scheduling only a few outdoor opportunities to listen, sweat, and swat bugs. Still there, still used, but incognitoThe Manhattan Opera House was built by Oscar Hammerstein I on 34th Street just west of Eighth Avenue as an alternative to the older, stuffier Metropolitan Opera. The auditorium of is still in use today as the Hammerstein Ballroom of the much-altered Manhattan Center -- for concerts, conventions, and even boxing, while the building around it is primarily a large recording and production facility.
