HAPPY GIRLS ENJOYING
SIMPLE LIFE IN CAMP
Thirteen Are Guests of Young
Woman's Junior League
at Alton Farm.

Thirteen happy girls are now enjoying
the simple life'' at the summer camp
established by the young women OF the
Junior League Of Washington at Alton
farm, near Sligo. Md. The camp has
been open for several weeks. but the
girls have only gone there recently, five
new ones arriving yesterday afternoon.
The cool swimming pool made by the
damming Of a brook which winds within
few feet Of the camp has become the
most popular part OF the camp. but
basket ball and bowling are sports which
have caught the fancy Of the young
campers.
The capacity of the camp is fifteen
girls, but since most Of those at the
camp are working girls taking their
vacations there will be room for new
girls almost continuously all during the
summer months.
Camps Ideal Location.
Secluded from even a country road, the
camp is situated almost in the middle
of a large tract of wooded land. The
girls have found the spot to be ideally
cool. A bubbling spring furnishes water
of rare purity and GOODNESS, and towering
trees afford plenty of shade.
The girls sleep in three large tents pro-
vided with wooden floors and comfort
able cots. There is also a dining tent.
and special waShhouse and kitchen
where the cooking is done.
A large part of the meals consist of
fresh vegetables direct from Alton farm

All of the equipment for the camp was
purchased with the proceeds of the pres
entation of The Little Princess by the
Junior League in April, but the run
ming expenses are being met by charging
nominal fee to the girls who become
members in the country club.

the banquet would not be held there.

gists that the club was not to be avail
able, they began search for another place
for their banquet. They needed money
for their campaign, and We're determined
not to pay high prices Hundreds of in
vitations for the banquet had been sent
out, so it had to be held.
Miss Sweet Aids the Cause-
Then Miss \. E. Sweet, lessee of the
Brighton apartment, came to the aid of
the suffragists. During the past year she
has frequently given permission for the
holding of suffragist meetings in her
parlors The members of the organization
were overjoyed when they found such
large place being run by a woman. They
also discovered that the owner OF the
apartment house was woman

These Are Condemned.

1t is these barrels of dead crabs the
dealers set aside that are condemned.
At times the number of crabs that die in
the barrels on their way from the lower
Potomac to this city is unusually large
and this causes heavy condemnation to
show on the records of the health Office
The dealers say that when crab shows
disposition to fight when taken from
the barrel there is little danger of it not
being good for food when properly cook
ed. The dealers also assert that only good
live crabs are ever steamed at the wharf
picking houses to fill uptown orders for
cooked crabs or for crab meat.

CRABS IN LOCAL MARKET
CLASSED AS FINE STOCK
Impression That Many Are Con-
demned by Health Office De-
clared to Be Erroneous,

Somehow a report has become spread
among those who are fond of sea food
that the crabs now being brought to this
market are not in good condition and that
the health office is condemning them by
the dozens of barrels day AS a conse-
quence of these reports the demand at
the wharf market, the dealers say, has
fallen off considerably
The fact is that the crabs on sale in
the local market are brought mostly
from the lower river and are in excellent
condition when on the market. The deal
ers at the wharf never knowingly sell a
dead crab, and as soon as the barrels with
the shellfish in them are landed at the
wharf they are at once picked over and
the dead ones put in barrels.
