'ROOKIES' FROM WOMEN'S CAMP
ENJOY PERIOD OF RECREATION
Appear in City Dressed in Regulation
Uniform-M Members Of Drill Glass Incur
Reprimand- General Notes.

Did you see the rockies from the
camp down town yesterday showing off
their uniform? Leaves from camp
are now being given each afternoon,
and some Of the girl recruits were al
lowed to attend a reception at the
Chevy Chase Club Tuesday. while 9TH
ers who had something very important
to attend to" were allowed to come into
the city. Mrs. Harry B. Joy, wife OF
the automobile manufacture. was in
charge Of the distribution Of passes.
Mrs. Joy also was camp inspector and
made a round of all the tents, admonish-
ing the negligent ones as to how they
must" keep their tents in order as well
as their own dress. She also made the
night inspection and found the lights out
promptly and few incipient attempts at
frivolities.
The first young women to suffer repri-
mand were dismissed from drill last even
ing They were discovered going through
drill without their khaki coat and wear
ing white shirt waists instead of the regu-
lafion woolen shirts They looked as II
they were very much embarrassed as they
dodEed around tents in the instruction
camp after being dismissed from the drill
ground.
The supreme penalty in camp is dis
missal, and this is for taking French
leave at night. There is no night leave.
AS the oficial rules and regulations
express it, Absent from taps tat
camp" Absence from class is punish
able with having the name posted in
tho mess hall. Repeated absence means
not getting a diploma. "1nsubordina-
tion," which a rookie explains. means
'sassing back one of the girls who
gives you orders" Is to be punished
according to the degree of the mis-
demeanor.' 'Untidiness in personal
appearance" begets "reprimand," and
repetition debars the offender from
pass privileges"
One of the scarcest things in the
camp is small change. Miss Elizabeth
Harding, a young Washington society
girl daughter of a member of the fed
eral reserve board. hunted all around
the camp yesterday with yellow
back in her hand trying to find some
change 80 that she could drop a nick el
in tho telephone slot. A certain eager
person In the city who was waiting
for the call doesn't know yet why It
did not come. The daughter of a
prominent Maryland banker didn't
have so cents in change with which to
pay for her "f1rst-aid" book. and
couldn't get a check cashed. though her
name would be good at any time to one
made out in four figures.

Cites Singular Advantage.

1t Is singular advantage of the
Catholic schools that they are conduct
ed by women, he said, and 1t Is essen
tial that they should be prepared not
only as teachers, but Catholic teach
ers. From their studies in the Sisters
College, he said, they will return to
their communities with q new concep-
tion of their duties and opportunities,
and he congratulated those sisters
whom he said were fortunate enough
to be sent there.
He reviewed the brief FIVE years his
tory of the institution and said that al
speaking of growth, expansion and
many-sided improvement. What was
once an empty field. he continued, is
rapidly changing into an academic
city, or, better still. into what Pope
Plus was pleased to call sisters
city"
1T behooves us in a special manner"
he said Ito implore the blessings of
heaven upon those who have provided
the means of erecting this hall and
thus have made a beginning in the exc.
cution of plan which contemplates a
noble cluster of academic buildings on
these grounds. In my own name, and
in the name of the trustees. I thank
these generous donors. l congratulate
them on the wise use they have made
of their wealth, and on the abundant
returns which shall come to them from
the teachers who will profit by their
bounty.
II rejoice especially that his chill
dren have chosen this manner of per-
petuating the memory of a great
hearted man, for | am sure that no
monument could more fittingly bear
the name of Anthony Nicholas Brady.
Henceforth that name. written in let
ters of stone above the portal of this
hall. is more deeply and ehduringly
written in the hearts of all who have
an interest in Catholic education.

Missionary Bishops Report.

Reports of the progress of Methodism
In China, Chosen and Japan were pre-
sented to the Methodist General Con-
ference last night by two of the mis-
sionary bishops of the church, W. S.

The great outstanding need in China,
Bishop Lewis said, is for a standard
