Warning Issued to Persons Who

Seem to Enjoy It."

What is a camper? The United States
Public Health Service has answered in a

others, revert to primitive modes of ex-
istence and ostensibly obtain enjoyment
therefrom. Both place and persons then

encourage more or less responsibility
and lead to immediate wildness. In this
there is no harm and often much good.
However, one thing should not be forgot
ten-the arrangements. Allow the ami
mails to break loose once more for the
seasonal enjoyment. but by all means
have the camp sanitary so that in their
widness they will do no harm"
Among the warnings which the health
service gives to campers are these:
Beware of the farmers corn and GU
cumbers, eat sparinSly of the connections
to which you are unaccustomed, and
glance at the well of boyhood days only
with suspicion. Don't allow the weather
or the children to annoy you. rest as
well as you can, show the youngsters
what father can do when he has the
proper environment, and imagine what
a wonderful time you are having"

SEVENTEEN MILESTONE
Shoe Manufacturer and Former Gov
ernor of Massachusetts, Observing
Birthday Anniversary.

Today marks the SEVENTEEN milestone
in the life of W. L. Douglas. forty-second
governor of Massachusetts, and Brock
toms most widely known citizen. Mr..
Douglas was born in Plymouth in 1916,
and has led a busy life. He is in splendid
physical condition now. owing to care
full living. and is still the active direct
ing head Of the great shoe manufacturing
. business that bears his name. In the
summer Mr.. Douglas lives at his beauti-
full seashore estate at Marion. and
travels back and forth to his business In
his automobile Not only do these trips
give pleasure, but they afford opportunity
for a busy mind to formulate plans for
making an already great business
greater. The Douglas business has
grown to such huge proportions that Mr..
Douglas can and does successful bust
ness on small margin of profit.
The Douglas factories are located at
Brockton, and the company owns and
operates nearly 100 retail shoe stores) in
the principal cities of the country.
Added to this are about 5000 retail shoe
dealers in various parts of the country
who have the agency for the sale of the
Douglas shoes. These outlets keep the
big factories busy under normal condi-
lions, and even now in war times the
Douglas company is getting Its snare OF
business.
For twenty-six years Mr.. Douglas con-
Quoted his immense enterprise under his
own name. but in 1902 the business was
incorporated as the w. l.. Douglas Shoe
Co, with himself as president. The real
pioneer of the low-priced custom shop.
Mr.. Douglas owes a large part Of his sue
cess to honestly-made shoes and his en-
terprise in advertising. His annual ex-
penditures for advertising now mount
up into the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. He early adopted his familiar
scheme of including his portrait In all
newspaper and magazine advertising. 1t
was a radical innovation at the time OF
its adoption, and has made his face ia
miliar throughout the world.
In 1885, when a member of the State
senate of Massachusetts,. he introduced
a bill Ito provide for the settlement of
differences between employers and their
employees" The bill was passed and was
the immediate cause of founding, by leg
islative act, the State board of arbitra-
ton and Cancellation, one Of the most eff
fective institutions in existence for
reaching and settling labor troubles. He
is also author of the State weekly-pay-
ment law. which directs that employees
at manual trades shall receive their
wages within each calendar week.

so. but the commission ruled in favor
of the statesmen. The order forcing the
railroads to accept trunks as ordinary
baggage becomes effective October Is.
