Joy it in heavenly weather. But my girls like any kind of weather. Cold 1? Never! That's one of the things we never consider We keep the camp- fire going all night and the tents are in a circle around it. Warm bed cov- ering does the rest. Too busy during the day to get cold. There's a good deal to crowd in those three days. Cooking, swimming, exploring, arch cry, wrestling-something doing every minute. The girls go in swimming pretty early and keep, at it pretty late Every night around the camp fire we do stunts, too. Sing and play and wrestle."

 It's far cry back to grandmother seminary, where the girls sat in dut- iful circles and sewed their little seams on their little pantalettes or painted abnormal roses on slickery concave plaques For girls boarding schools, like the girls thenselyss, aren't what they used to be. Instead of tho delicate arts we are having sturdy rests-vocational studies, outdoor work, activities that will make girls more fit to live il a practi- cal world.

Girls Better Campers Than Boys" Says
 Member of Knox School Faculty
Modern Educational Institution Finishes for Ballroom
 Teas Backwoods and Trals-Camp Three Days Every Month.

or less than three days camping every month in the school year And while camping may mean automob camp cooks and gasolene stoves vo 1 some people, to. the girls at the Knox school it means long miles of tramp ing, carrying their own paraphernalia erecting tents, choppfng wood, cook ing meals. All of which program re- fleets very little of the finishing school spirit that we usually charge boarding schools with, and less of the alleged delicacy of won- en.
 The girls at the Knox school do all the things that ordinary girls do, these camping parties plus. And the transition from the schoolroom and the ballroom to the deep, dark woods is tothem a very easy step.
 Girls Are Perfect Campers.
 Girls are better campers than boys,a ayers MT. David sAbercrom bic, who mornings runs ilis campers out fitting business, and afternoons and evenings pursues his avocation of camping. But camping is now a vo- cation. for he is a member of the Knox school faculty and hired for the
 
 their monthly camping trips Mr. Abercrombie talks about his camping girls with great enthusiasm.
 They're good sports, my girls" ne said proudly "and I'd much rather take them out than boys. Boys. you know, are so wise you can't tell them anything. And they're not obedient; get into trouble all the time But the girls will listen to you and do what you say. And they're better in a camp than boys, because they are will ling to do camp work. The boys al- l ways want to go off somewhere and find something and they don't bother with such minor details as keeping house."
 Didn't you have dreadful time at i first with the girls?'' asked the inter- viewer, having visions of dainty little maidens hobbling along on their hike, l utterly miserable.
 Walked Fourteen Miles. Not bit' denied Mr. Abercrom- 1 bic. The first trip we walked four teen miles. No, the girls weren't any more tender than boys would have been. Girls are just as husky as l boys, you know. The sooner people get over the idea of the weakness of l women the better. Of course, once in while fire girl because she's no good"

We'll, they do. l It's very rare that the wrong sort of girl joins us We don't want and don't bother with the girl that isn't I a good sport. We had thirty-two l girls last year and the chaperon."

A boom for American trade In machn-
cry in Russia as a result OF the cessation
OF trade between Russia and Germany is
assured in a statement issued yesterday
by the Russian Chamber OF Commerce Of
141 Broadway. The chamber has just
received a communication from agents In
Russia requesting that the needs of Rus
sian buyers be presented to the attention
OF American manufacturers.
The Russian market at present Is In
need OF all kinds OF machinery. tools and
agricultural implements. Traffic IN this
kind OF machinery has already been be-
gun, but vastly increased field has now
been opened by the war.
The Russian Chamber announces its In
tention of establishing a Russo American
bank as soon as treaty Is made settling
the passport problem which still exists
between Russia and the United states.
Such a bank, II promises. will he great
factor i'm satisfying the Russian buyers

SEES PROFIT IN BANK DEBT.
Court Opinion Handed Down Up
holding New Jersey Tax.

TRENTON, y. j., Jan. Justice Carl
son handed down the opinion OF the Court
OF Errors and Appeals to-day in the case
OF the Commercial Trust Company OF New
Jersey against the Hudson County Tax
Board. in which the court recently an
nounced its decision affirming the validity
OF the act OF last year imposing a tax OF
three quarters of l per cent. on the stock
OF banks and trust companies.
In the main the opinion concurs In the
views expressed by Justice Swayze when
tine case was before the Supreme Court.
though the Court OF Errors somewhat
mobiles tie language OF the lower tri-
bunal. The essence Of the opinion Is that
the bank stock tax act Is a general law
based upon valid classification OF prop
erty.
Justice Garrison described banking as
essentially the business of making money
breed money. Referring to deposits as in
effect borrowed money. he pointed out that
the greater the debt the greater the profit,
and the greater the profit the greater the
value OF the stock. Hence "A bank. as dis
tinguished from other business really
profits by the amount OF its Indebtedness.
The alleged impairment OF the national
banking act, urged against the present
law, Justice Garrison said, raises Fed
eral rather than a constitutional question.
which may well be left to the Federal de-
Cisions

TELLS OF CIVIL SERVICE LEAK.
woman says kinHsbury's Aid Got
Examination Papers.

Vt the State civil Service Commissions
hearing yesterday Mrs. Irene Reardon,
until recently an Investigator in the
Charities Department, testified that she
saw Alfred Retail. when secretary to Com
missioner k-ngsbury, receive "A number
OF examination papers from the Munich
pal civil Service Commission before the
results OF the examination were made
known.
Or. Henry Moskowitz, president OF the
city commission, jumped from his seat
and excitedly announced that the papers
referred to were not important and had
no bearing on the intimate listing OF the
candidates. He was told b. President
Neu THAI ia Sould have an opportunity
10 explain later.
Mrs. Reardon SAID RetAT dictated ex-
tracts from the papers to her. After she
had left the department she went back
10 get her notebook, but was informed
that II had been destroyed.
Retail was allied to the stand. He said
the copies made by Mrs. Reardon had
probably been thrown away, but he could
supply a more complete copy from an
other stenographer who assisted In the
dictation.
"But we are interested In Mrs. Rear
don's notes" dryly remarked Mr.. Neu.
Tile hearings go on to-day.

GOLD SENT TO CANADA
EXPECTED TO RETURN
Low Rate Here for Sterling EX-
change Forecasts Shipments
of Precious Metal.

The decline in exchange on London
in the last week, bringing demand sterling
down to 4.S3hS, is causing speculation In
financial circles here as TO just what
steps England will take in the matter.
II export Of our commodities and manu-
featured goods goes on at the present
rate foreign exchange men look for much
lower rates. although II is not believed
that England will consent to the importa-
ton OF gold either from London or from
the Bank of England depository in Ottawa
until exchange reaches 4.Sl or $50 Rates
are now below the figures which brought
S5OO0OQOO gold into this country from
England In 1906.
There Is talk Of the United States get
ting back from ottawa a part OF the
$4,000 900 gold sent there on the ac-
count OF the gold pool or some OF the
gold which was shipped TO Canada by the
syndicate managers Of the New York city
S1O0,0OO000 loan. With New York eX-
change quoted at - per cent. premium
at Montreal the belief here is that gold
will soon have TO be shipped from Canada
or that other Canadian loans must be
fioated here TO offset the difference In
exchange.
Demand closed last night at 4.S3Ss and
cables at AS4ss. against 4S4h and
4S47s. Paris exchange and German
marks were lower Francs closed at
5.19% for checks and 51Sai for cables,
against 5.lSA and SIS. Marks closed
at sea. for sight drafts and S67s for
cables, against S7L and S7a.

gency currency, bringing the total retired
