SeIectino the Camp Site.

Unless you know your country well,
do not rush to make camp on arrival,
but take enough time to hunt up a
good comfortable location. If there
are any guides to be had, ask their
advice, and the small charge they viii
make to show you some of the best
places will be more than repaid in ex-
ira satisfaction. The most important
requirements are sufficient frewood
and good drinking water. 1t is not a
great task to go some distance for
water, but the wood must be close ut
hand. If possible, select location
where the morning sun will shine di-
rectly on the tent. This is for two
purposes; to keep the camp dry, and
to get everyone up while the coffee
and pancakes are hot. 1t is well to
have the camp partially shaded after
ten o'clock in warm weather and
enough trees about to break the force
of the wind, not that there is any
danger Of tent blowing down when
pitched in either manner described
below, but continuous strong winds
become very tiresome and make the
keeping Of food warm almost an i'm
possibility. Moderate breeZeS are
most desirable for keeping away flies
and cooling the tent.-Field and

TODAY AND TOMORROW.

In every town and community
there are two classes Of young
boys. and possibly our town is
no exception to the rule.
The gilded and pampered
youth looks with disdain upon
the boy who starts life in an
humble capacity and picks up q
few nickles bp running errenos
and selling papers and polishing
shoes.
Yet a few years hence the
newsboy or bootblack may be
the head Of some great CONNER
cial enterprise, and the pamper-
ed youth may be filing fifteen
dollar a week clerkship in his
employ.
The same may be said Of
young girls, and even of some
who are not so young. Caste es-
tranges the we'll to do from the
poor and needy, and the cold
shoulder is substituted for the
helping hand.
Years hence. though, the
needy girl may be the wife Of
one Of the greatest men Of the
nation, while the girl Of castle
is still longing for most any
kind Of a man.
Too many OF Us preach democ-
|racy in public and practice autoc
racy in private life.
We tell others what to do and
forget to do the same things our
selves.
We live wholly in today and
forget that tomorrow will ever
exist.
And for the follies Of today
we pay dearly in the years to
come.
Honesto. integrito, persever-
ance-these ale the rtt assets
of life, more golden in their val
ue than all Of the caste distinc-
tions in existence.
Young men and young women
who make the most Of their op.
portunities today never want for
their hearts desires tomorrow.

Education by the "Movies."

Though motion pictures may never

make it possible to facilitate teaching

and surgeon, especially in rare and diff
ficult emergencies. The perfection
reached IN this new art was demon

that every movement of the surgeons
could be seen more clearly than when

taken from the best viewpoint. With
films from the grea. surgical centers OF
the world collected as q part Of the

denly confronted with a strange case
may promptly find needed details OF
new or special operations by referring
to the stored pictures.

Cous Among the Filters.

When Lieutenant and Mrs. Theodore
Marburg, Jr., arrived in this country
recently they brought with them q lit
tie Scottish terrier, Jockomeo, which
is one of several of the breed called
"aviation hounds" by the British forces
along the war front in France, where
they figure largely in the aviation
camps.
The little canine flier has short,
low-lying body, long nose; with
rough, wiry, black hair, streaked with
white, and pair Of brilliant eyes that
express wealth Of intelligence.
Marburg said Jockomeo and the others
Of his breed in the camp are trained
to guard the hangers and give warning
when a hostile aeroplane makes it's ap-
pearance.
These dogs make flights with the
aviators and hold the waste spanners
and other tools in their mouths wheh
the aviators have occasion to make
repairs or adjustments.

CONTROLLED BY SOUND WAVE
Engineer Has New Idea for Control.
ling the Death-Deallng Devices En-.
ployed in Modern Warfare.

Lovers Of opera, or otherwise, who
have had the pleasure, or otherwise,
of hearing some Of the most modern
music, have come to realize that it has
other attributes than that Of soothing
the savage breast. But to blow up a
battleship by means Of Strauss dis
sonance or 4 Wagner overture. to nip
off prowling submarines with Verdi
cadenza, or TO make a mine-strewn har-
Dor safe for your own ships with the
tender notes Of 8 Schubert lullaby
seems another matter.
Expressed somewhat after the fash
ion Of verS 1bre, that is more or less
the results that are expected from an
invention demonstrated to the writer.
Lieut.. Stiles NJ. Decker Of the Pacific
coast artillery is the inventor of de-
vice that he believes will go q long
way toward revolutionizing our coast
defense. Patents have been applied
for and preliminary tests have shown
conclusively, it is said, that control OF
underwater mines may be successfully
maintained through sound waves for
firing. testing or rendering the mines
neutral. 1t is believed to be the first
time that the energy Of sound has been
used as means Of controlling the ac-
tion of a source Of energy.
Tie fact that mines have to be
either controlled from the shore or by
means of wires or else planted loose
so that they will explode on contact
has long been a source both of e1-
pense and trouble, according to Lieu
tenant Decker. The cable to the mines,
when this is used, is very expensive
and becomes useless in the course Of q
few years. Also it is not very diff
cult matter under certain conditions
for it to be destroyed by an enemy,
thus rendering the mines useless. The
mines that are simply planted with no
further means Of control may become
as dangerous to the ships Of this coun-
try as they are to those Of an enemy.
IF there could be some means of con-
trolling them from the land without
the necessity of any actual physical
connection the advantages are so ap-
parent that they need no enumeration.
After considering a number Of pos
Sible solutions Lieutenant Decker con-
ceived the idea of using sound waves,
which, as is well known, can be carried
under water. With this as working
basis he has built up his theory Of
making q mine that will be controlled
by q series Of musical notes.
