BOYS OVER Il MAY
ENTER MILITARY CAMPS
War Department Making Every Eff
fort to Have Encampments
Successful.

With the near approach of the date set
for the opening of the students military
camps. July g. the War Department Off
Gals are making every preparation to as
sure the success Of this project.
Orders have been issued for Troop X
of the 9Th Cavalry at Fort Myer to pro-
coed to the camp to be held at Asheville,
n. c., as part of the plan to bring the
regular troops and the college students
in close relations. The Coast Artillery
Band at Charleston. S. c.. also has been
ordered to the Asheville camp.
Eligible if Past Seventeen.
An important construction of the rule
relative to the age of the students who
may participate in these camps was an
nounced today at the War Department
namely. that students anywhere past their
seventeenth year will be regarded as
eligible. That ruling is expected largely
to swell the number of applicants. as the
legal requirement of eighteen years mini
mum had been construed to mean boys
past their eighteenth birthday.
The high school graduates of Reading,
Pa. have been notified by the district
superintendent of schools that the pro-
jected camps are highly commendable, and
should receive support in view of the fact
that for the sum of S11.JO the students
may enjoy an entire month Of military
training and outdoor life under govern
ment auspices.
Importance of Training.
The state board Of education of Con-
necticut also has passed resolutions d.
recting the attention of the Connecticut
high school boys to the cardinal impor-
lance of this military training in fitting
the young men of the state to meet pa
triotic duty in time of need.

A Baby Story

The Town Gossip, in the Alaska Citi zen-Fairbauks-tells the following:
 Several ladies of Fairbanks were en- toying social hoar at the home of one of the party a few days ago, so the story comes to me, and the subject of taking care of babies was followed by an ex. plauationOf the free nurseries main. tained by big department stores of the cities
 "That reminds me" said one of the ladies, "of story 1 heard of what hap pened in Chicago recently in one of the department store nurseries.
 "It seems that woman took her baby to the nursery, and received a check for it, but while shopping she lost the check. When she returned and asked for her baby, they refused to give it to her until she should produce the check. At last it was agreed that she should return after the store closed, and if there was a baby remaining she should have it.
 "The woman was considerably wor- ried about the matter, but she stayed at the store patiently waiting for it to close. Finally when it did close, she went to the nursery to get her child, and the only one remaining was a little colored baby"
 The ladies who were listening to the story joined in mutual expression of horror.
 "Wby," said one, "that muat have been awful"
 "The poor mother must have been al- most frantic" joined in a second lady.
 "Wbat in the world did she do about it?" asked a third listener of the one who had told the story, and then the latter smilingly said:
 "Oh, the mother didn't care a bit. You see she was colored, too, and it was her own baby"

The Pride of a Chief

Chief Healey, who reigns in the vil- lage at the mouth of the Healey river and over all the land adjacent thereto, is of that rare type Cooper pictured in the "Leather Stocking Tales.' Tall, sinewy, slender, descended from long line of chiefs, his dignifed mein and naughty eye impress one with the fact that he was born to rule.
 To instance Chief Healey's pride which approaches the sensitivenees of cultured white man, he once entered Newton's trading post near his village asked to purchase a package of tobacco. Engaged in perplexing task and fur ther muddled by tho interruption, New ton took up a package and tossed it over the counter where it fell on the floor. Chief Healey took out a quarter and Tipped it over the counter where it likewise fell on the floor.
 The contempt was equal. Chief Heal ey allowed the tobacco to remain on the floor until tribesman picked it up and proffered it to him. He also en- loved the satisfaction of seeing the trader pick up the quarter himself.
 Again it is told of two prospectors at whoee camp the chief visited. One of them, tbOughtless fellow. offered him a piece of soap as present. The chief pocketed the soap, but it was evil dent that bis pride had been wounded.
 Days later, when tue prospectors stopped at the Healey village, the chiefs squaw brought out a basin of warm water aud the identical bar of soap. This she placed before the offend ing prospector, and by signs showed him how to use it. As the white man happened to be none too we'll washed, the retaliation was especially Sitting and the indignity avenged.
 The chiefs interest in the traders children reveals another angle of his character. He seems to consider them among bis wards and goes often to the Newton home to look them over and note how fast they are growing. To the little girls he gives seaut attention, the boys being of more importance in bis eyes. And 1t is a safe venture that should anything happen to Mr. and Mrs. Newton, Chief Healey would look after the children with a pride passing anything which has ever stirred his Indian heart.

THE most sensible garb for the little
] girl from three to six or seven
years old, consists Of a blouse and
boomers, in which she can have as
much freedom as her young brother.
There is very little difference in the
cut of the blouses for little boys and
girls, and the materials used for them
are the same. In making boys suits
small knee pants are substituted for
boomers, as a rule, although boomers
of scant fullness are quite as appro-
pirate, and some mothers prefer them.
Now is the time to prepare the lit
tie folks wardrobe for the coming
spring and summer. Good, substantial
materials, shrunk before they are cut,
fast colors, and patterns Of simple de-
sign. mark the choice OF women OF
taste in these matters.
The romper suit illustrated here is
made of a good quality of plaid ging-
ham, trimmed with plain Bingham.
The colors, in which blue FREEDOM
mates, are not glaring, but strong and
permanent. If washed with care they
do not fade much, and what little
change is made in them does not de-
tract from their good effect as time
passes. They will not stand the strong
bleaching solutions used by some laun'
dries-and nothing else will.
All the standard pattern makers
provide satisfactory patterns for these

IF you are looking for a tasteful and
/ brilliant gown, which will always
look well, the model shown in the pic
ture will hold your attention. The
combination of black and white is al
ways good, to begin with, and its lines
are conservative, following those OF
the figure vaguely and simply. There
is nothing startling in the costume,
except its beauty.
Nothing could be palmer than the
tunic of black chiffon. The placing of
the swansdown trimming is so obvious
that 1t might have been done by an
amateur, except that an amateur
would not have thought of terminating
It at the waist line. or Of using a
black velvet girdle.
The under bodice is an easy-fitting
blouse opening at the front over a sur
plice Of fine white lace. The little
coat of black chiffon lies smoothly
over it, but develops a little fullness
below the waist line. The girdle of
crushed velvet encircles the figure
easily at the normal waist line and
fastens at the left under a big velvet
rose in any color you like. The tur-
ban and slippers worn with this gown

LIQUOR AT AseURY PARK.

Asbury park, where, in November,
the National w. c. T. U. held its
fortieth annual convention. has a resi-.
dent population of $4,000. and more
than a million people visit the city
each summer. Its founder made in
every deed a restriction against the
manufacture or sale Of intoxicating
liquor, although as far as he knew,
there was not at that time another
seaside resort or incorporated town on
the American continent or in Europe
where In the deeds the sale of liquor
was prohibited. Crackers and timid
ones predicted that a total abstin
ence seaside resort only fifty miles
from New York could never be a sue
cess. The result has proved the con
trary. Asbury Park is the social and
commercial center Of the north New
Jersey coast.

The turban has a coronet Of steel

from the ensemble. But by way OF

that stuck out on the sides Of his head
as big as rubber balls, and each eye
had hundreds and hundreds OF little
eyes all over it, SO that he could e
better. That is why 1t is 80 hard for
you to catch a fly with your hands. He
can see behind him as well as he
can see in front, and he can jump and
fly away quicker than a wink.
Besides the funny tongue and the
funny eyes, this fly had two Of the low
Hest wings, that you could see right
through, and they were colored Just
like the rainbow. When he folded
them up they were right on top Of his
back, and that was where he had
them when he crawled out of the pile
of straw and sat still in the sun to
dry his wings, for they were very new
and wet.
As soon as they were dry he spread
them out and few away. Like all
other flies he was very naughty. and
probably you would like to know just
what he was going to do. First he flew
over and lighted on the old horses
back and bit him real hard, and then
he went over and bit the poor COW.
Wasn't that too bad! They chased
him away by switching their tails at
him, SO he hurried over to the
screen door that led into the kitchen
aud the very minute the door was
opened, in he slipped, as sly as you
please.
There on the table was some nice
cake for supper. so lie went over and

After this he crept into the garbage

and then he few right over to little

The Sandman was angry when hi
saw the fly do all these naughty trick:
and he made up his mind that this fly
would have to go TO jail. He slipped
up beside the fly and whispered in hi
ear that there was some sugar out IL
the barn and he had better hurry u
and get it. The fly jumped up into tn
air as soon as he heard about tn
sugar and few out to the barn an

~FlGURES-AND

FlGURES-AND FIGURES
At the banquet given In Chicago
by the Brewers association to Mr..
Vopica, the newly appointed United
States minister to the Balkan States
and one of their W number, the
speakers attempted to show up their
business as one Of the financial props
OF the country.
Among the statements made were
these:
/. The brewers own ard operate
1.400 extensive plants. manned by o.
900 wage earners on whom 300, 600 de-
pend for legitimate livelihood and sup
port.
2. The brewers Of this country
have an invested capital of $6I0,O0O,-
| 900, and the value of their annual
products is 1876. 900, 900. They pay out
in wages and salaries annually $685.
900, 900.
3. They use annually l0O,OOO,OOo
worth of grain and other materials.
Granting that these figures are cor
rect let us remember that the account
between the nation and the brewers
has a debit as well as a credit side.
Put over against the value OF the pro-
duce" and the $1,000 employees with
their wages and salaries" the amount
of inefi cheney and the number or
deaths caused by the alcohol in beer
-ineficiency and deaths which entail
an army of delinquents and depend
ents for the state to care of-and the
1,4O0 brewing plants are found to be
quite as serious a drain upon the
country's assets (its finances and its
citizenship as are the distilleries
which some of the beer men are try
ing to put out of business.
AS regards the amount Of grain
used by the brewers, let us listen to
Prof. John A. Nichols Of Boston, who
has made an exhaustive study Of the
drink question from the financial and
industrial viewpoint. Following Is an
excerpt from his text book, Eco
nomic Studies in the Liquor Prob
lem," prepared for the course of study
of the young peoples branch of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.
Investigation shows that only a
very small part of the farmers pro-
ucts are taken by the breweries and
distilleries. For instance, during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1911, 114.'
sos, S55 bushels of barley, wheat, rye
corn and oats were used in making
alcoholic liquors. But the farmers
raised, during the year 1910, a total
of SAB, 1S7, 900 bushels Of these same
grains and this shows that the liquor
traffic uses less than two and a hall
per cent. Of the five leading grain
crops of the land. For every busheI
of grain used by the breweries ant
distilleries more than forty-four anc
three-ffths bushels are used for legi
innate food purposes. One Of ever
one hundred dollars worth of graii
sold by the farmer the brewer ant
distiller buy about s2.25k worth"
Query: If brewers and distiller'
combined use less than 2k per cent
! of the farmers grain, what proportion
is used by the brewers elone0
