be in camp Saturday many Scranton

forgotten what ought and ought not to
be done, The Tribune correspondent

itors the following resume of camp
etiquette in the form of a few don'ts:
Don't bring any pes-the boys have
forgotten how to eat them.
Don't ask the boys to give you their
old clothes as souvenirs-they have
none other.
Don't ask the boys for the grounds
here-they do not belong to them.
Don't request the present of an army
mule for PETITE mule might kick"
Don't ask the boys "is it cold en-
ough for you nights?"-you might get
killed.
Don't bring any looking glasses along
you might scare some of the boys.
Don't present anybody with a cake
of soap-it might be taken as an In
suit.
Don't bring any pork or beans with
you for your friends-unless you are
reckless and your life insured.
Don't look into the tents at meal
time as though you were saying L
want to see the animals feed"-the
boys hate personalities and are BASH
ful.
Don't say that you wish you were
going to Cuba-somebody might not
believe you. Richard j. Bourke.
