the bane of the raUI£ra' cntnp$"Tn uTl
countries. At times us many bs one-
fourth of the enrollment have been
la the clutch of one or the other. In
Europe, during the present,! wiir, the
ravages of disease and the effects of
Inebriety have been so extensive at
times that the most stringent regula-
tions have been established. But In
(the main the measures adopted have
been repressive and curative after the
fact. The attack on the camp evils
■was ntjt begun until their Inroads
made notion Imperative.
In the United States the problem
of cajnp evils Is to be attacked in a
, 'way and on a scale never undertaken -
fu the world before. Greatest empha-
_ els Is to be placed on prevention, on
effective action before the fuctr in- ,
stead Qf after It. To achieve this, to
involve a new kind of soldiers* train-
ling camp, is the task of the newly ap-
>pointed federal commission on truinlng camp activities, with Raymond B. Fos-
jdlcb at Its head. Already this work has begun, with the opening of th&traln-
—itag eumpe for-tttc prctlnrtnary nfflrers' training corps. * ^
Immediately around the camps will be zones, according to* the plans of
|lhe commission, to bar out Infections and alcoholic excess, hut the aim will
j be. In following out the later principles of phyphology, to withdraw, so far
|as possible, the attention of the soldier from th,e . rigid restrictions of the

joyment.
MASTER OF TRANSPORTATION
Samuel M. Felton, president of the
Chicago Great Western railway, 1ms
been selected to take chaYge"of ar-
rangements for sending the regiments
of American railroad men to France.
Mr. Felton some time ngo was ap-
pointed advlSer to the chief of arruy
engineers tn rotation to mttrond af-
fairs. As siieli, it was said, he will be
in charge of arrangements for sending
the American railroad men abroad.
It is understood that Mr. Felton
will not necessarily accompany the
forces. f '
The plan Is to send 10,000 skilled
men to operate and maintain the
French roads behind the bnttle lines.
They need reconstruction and expert
operation, for which thgJTrench mili-
tary forces canDot spare their own
men.
Regarding these pluns Mr. Fel-
ton, declined to, jnake any extended
statement. r-

This Hon. Cluck lady suddenly approach up to me last Tues. a. m. ft

"Togo,” she say so, “I am delightful reader of this newspaper.”
"Tou ftVe one in several 1,000,000,” I snatch back, with expression of ■

"In this wonderfully home-made paper,” she divulge, "I are frequently
auprlsed to read one department what tell considerable knowledge to ladies
what require to make housework unexpected.
"It seem Inputting to sell so much wisdom for so small price,” I qpntuse. -
"Recipes Mke this," decry Hon. Mrs., “are good ways to know. Ejyery
servant girl, whether male or female, should read thin department ft attempt
to do so also. New things can be thought of only by thinking of some-
thing new. Therefore, remember I expect you to make some useful Dlsh-
covery each wfeek you are In this homo."
With such language, she suddenly eloped away, leaving my hands In
thoughtful dishwater.
With.frequent occaslonulity, Hon. Mrs. Cluck approach and derfccdt.

"There ttnSofBTKS; more that can be said, and nothing that will he said.
It is to the Interest of all concerned that no details be printed.”
One report had It that Mr. Feltofl had been appointed by the council Of
national defense. That is Incorrect. He was uiding the government before
the council of national defense came into existence.
He was selected by the secretary of war when the Mexican trouble
Started as adviser to the army engineers In transportation and railroading.

Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the
board of the Union Pacific' railroad,
has volunteered "the whole of his
time during the war to any work to
which he might be assigned,” by the
American Red Cross. In a letter to
Henry P. DaWson, chairman of the
war council of the Red Cross, Mr. Lov-
ett said he was “too old to go to the
front,’* hut was anxious to do hlfl
"bit” in whatever manner he could be
made useful.

him to come to Washington for a con-,
ference preliminary to the formation
of a committee to prevent duplication
and waste in all activities of relief
and alleviation resulting from the war.
He also wns asked to accept the chair-
manship of this committee.

ett at the conference In Washington,
.according to Mr. Davison, are Rt. Rev.

the extent that the officers of the
army who.have planned them, and who
are managing them, are determined
that the splrft of these great -camps
shall be the aplrlt of the academy on

"In any attempt to appraise the
qualities of these young men In the training camps,” said Brig. Oen. H. P.
McClain, adjutant general of the army, “we must remember that .the 40,000

The sllp-on sweated Is one of the
sweater successes of this particular
season. Its name signifies that It has
no front opening, but slips on over the
head, and It Is inode with and without
a sash and pockets; the silk models
being usually provided with theke ex-
tra furnishings. The coat sweater Is
shown In the picture with collar and
scuffs In a color, contrasting with the
bodjr of the garment. It is of silk knit-

Every one of us must share, whether
we will or-not, in the harden of the
cost of the war. The common-sense
thing to do Is to determine now how
we can help lighten this burden for
ourselves and for others'who are al-
ready carrying about as much as they
can bear. There are many Well-to-do
families In every, community who are
not inconvenienced by the lncreused
IS- prlooii ii»f foodstuffs, but this burden
bears heavily en their poorer neigh-
bors. Therefore It Is the duty of tho
well-to-do to economize In food aud to
forbid all whste of It In their house-
holds, lu order to rnuko It more plenti-
ful for others.
.This year America must feed itself
and shure Its food with all Its nllles,
and “the chances are that prices will
soar again. There may not be just
enough to go all round, and some
people will then go hungry. It In un-
patriotic and unchristian to waste food
now, mid every housewife can best
show her patMotlsm by conserving It
In every way known to her.
Zizz!! Intellectual flash arrive to brain: . I should make one dlshcovery
what would give Hop. Cluck-happy-home wakefulness when setting In that
chair. Banzai! 1 stogger backwards with Edison feeling of thumbs.
Next a. in. while Hon. Mrs. were absentee at Dept Store squandering
money On hnlr-p!ns,\I approach Hon. Chair where husband love to dream.
With artistic hammer & nails, I attach Hon. Chair to rope In next room which
were pulled by neat derangement of pulleys. He were a Mawruss Chair,
full of pads and very fat,’and I was proud to see the expression of calm
comfort what he wear while setting there awaiting happy home-come pf Hon.
Mr. Cluck.
At 6:47 hour, Hon. Cluck return back in usual mood of Joyless anticipa-
tion. He say several nouns expressing lateness of Japanese cookery, then he
sipove oft coat, collar, neckbow & slioeware, expecting to put on house sup-
ers and smoke-jacket and manufacture comfort.
“If Togo shall take till breakfast prepaHhg dinner, I shall go to my
lawruss Chair and enjoy slight kitten nap," Hon. Mlpfter glump.
“If you had more regular profiles, you would be a sleeping beauty,” con-
jee Hon. Mrs.
"If this home was run right, It would not'be run down!" combust him.
"If you was not a fungus, you might he a genius," detone her. '
I were deliciously relieved to hear them talk th'at way, because I knew
"they would get Interested in unpleasantness that Hon. Cluck would forget to
go sleep In Mawruss Chair until after dinner was ate. And then I would
have time to show my dlshcovery. -
And s»;44-was. While I~tW“pare what hash I could find, Hon. Cluck spent
time pacing backwards and reverse with expression peculiar to Admirals on
Ptek-yR^Verk 4©r Summer Days ——
The good old summer time brings
nothing more delightful or worth while
thun the neighborly gatherings of worn-'
en on sheltered porches und In shaded
corners of the garden, to work and vis-
it. It Is not fashionable to be idle and,!
eyen If It were,' the good sense of the
majority1 of- American wwmeu would
make them go on their Industrious way ,
rejoicing—much' happier than their
less Independent sisters.
Just now everyone can visit with n
cl^ar conscience .If work for the1 sol-
diers and sailors goes on at the same
time. This Is one kind of "pick-up"
work that the times make most popu-
lar. Theh there are gifts for gradu-
ates and brides who are entitled to
their usual consideration. So those
who can knit may go armed With holt-
ting needles and yarn and spend the
time making mufflers or socks for the
-amt
tn the privilege of
ling gifts for friends. It Is not too
kAon to begin getting ready for Chrl
mas time.
By way of suggestion, two pretty ac-
cessories of dress made of ribbon are
pictured here. One of them Is a break-
fast cap of white satin ribbon and
white crochet lace that will rejoice th*
heart of nny bride-to-be, when added
to the treasures' of Tier hope ch<*t. It

and effective In all white.
The corset cover is made of flow-
ered ribbon with pale corn-colored
background, vague roses In light coral
pink and leaves tn a soft, light green.
'i'tfr shoulder straps are of narrow eat-
in ribbon In thf same lovely yellow.
Corset covers of ribbon or silk were
never quite so acceptable as gifts as
they are now that" blouses ajro men
veils of sheerest fabrics, for them.

July 4th. At lastly dinner set himself on table 5$hlle Hon. Cluck devoured
big dinner rfmldst usual steam-roller grutnbel about my unhappy cooking.
“Can’t you recall some sweet language to make marriage pleasant?" renag
Mrs. Cluck.
"Marriage ate only pleasant when he are asleep,” he peruse, looking
expectfully to Mawruss Chair. ’
’ When It come to pie time, I could already observe dormatory expression
of lodging-house crowling over fatty face o^JIon. Boss. Yawns by him.

him with heroine expresflon peculiar to Mafy Plckford.
“Can’t you tell I am here by the noise?” he gubble. “What spirituous
