WILSON STATUE IN PIECES
Goes to White House Scrap
Heap, Headless and Manned.

Washington. July 30.-A decspitated
statue of President Wilson, With frac-
tured arm. embellishes the White House
scrap heap because of the carelessness
of an express company in not trans
porting il more tenderly from Rocky
Hill junction, where it was wrought.
Peter Pia, who designed and executed
the statue, spent weeks. according to
his letter, modelling the likeness of the
President. lie asked that the statue
be placed in the White House as one
of the permanent ornaments, and no
doubt he will be deeply disappointed
to learn its fate.
A letter thanking the sculptor for
his efforts, however. will be sent to him
by President Wilson.

Afternoons for PLAY.

Mornings at the camp were mostly
given up TO work. the afternoons en-
tirely to play. There were ball games,
hikes across country. automobile rides
in machines furnished by the people of
the nearby towns. swimming, field days
and other amusements that suggested
themselves 10 the boys.
One of the hikes. after winding for
miles about the country. led two OF the
mixers into court.
Among the laws established in the
first days Of the month WAS one against
orchard raiding. The two lads planned
10 beat the Law by making a collection
of apples and "bunking' them along
the road TO the station. thinking they
would be able 10 take them up unmo-
Tested while on their way TO take the
train for home.
But the commissioner OF order saw
them acting suspiciously and soon had
them in court. Meanwhile. some OF his
assistants had ferroted out the "bunks'
and confronted the culprits with their
loot. They we're sentenced TO return
the apples TO the farmers from whose
places they had been taken. The SEN
tence was carried out under the eye Of
Governor Mahoncy.

One Lad Sentenced to Peel
Potatoes-Apple Connoisseurs
Take Their Loot Back.

An interesting experiment in COM
bining the Fresh Air and self-co"-
eminent ideas has been carried OH a.
a camp at Pennington, y. j., during
IN month just closing. The plan
originated with the National Associa-
tion of Junior Republics and MAS
worked out with the cooperation Of
the Tribune Fresh Air Fund and me
people OF The country near Fleming
ton. Clinton and Summcrville. y. J.
The possibility Of maintaining a
permanent settlement OF the self-goy-
ernment plan ha.. OF course. long si1ce
been demonstrated. II was a question,
however. whether il would be possible
10 gather togethe~ crowd Of boys
unacGuainted with each other and
without experience in self-government
and have them organize and maintain
successfully a temporary camp.
The experiment was an entire Az
cess.
That the trial might he real oic,
the tvcnty-si,; boys selected by th p
Tribune Fund were chosen from =
ncighborhood where the boys are
pretty we'll known for their defiance
Of the Law as personihed by the police.
All were from the gas house district,
and they were without exception what
the boys themselves would call "lIve
on "a"
BOY Campers Work.
They went into camp on the second
OF July. On the Fourth they held an
election and organized the gov nm
me At the head Of it was the co.
ernor Under him we're a Judge and
commissioners of commissary, tents,
boats. games, orGcr, swimming and re-
lG.qn.
It is significant Of the spirit of de-
mocracy that pre"ailcd from the ir9t
that the highest .wo Offices were filled
by Bill Mahoncy and Attillo Arac0.
The officers elected were. almost with
out exception. the boys WHOM the gu
pervisors of the camp after watching
them for two days would have selec.ed
70 the respective Jobs.
The boys did all the work OF the
camp except the cooking. There was
only one case of dereliction from as
signed duty during the whole month.
I'm this case citizen who had been
assigned 10 help dig drainage ditch
thought he would take a stroll to the
railroad station instead. The commits
sioner of order. hearing OF this. hailed
him before the judge and he was tried
by jury of his peers.
After careful yet speedy consider
