Ancient Delphi.

Ancient Delphi was a small town in
Greece on the southern slope Of Mount
Parnassus. where poets were supposed
to draw their inspiration. The ancient
town got it's name from it's founder.
Delphus. son Of Apollo. and there was
a temple of Apollo there, where prophe-
cies were made. hence the phrase Del
phian or Delphine oracles. A fountain
called the Castalian spring. supposed
to be frequented and patronized by
poets. was situated on the mountain
side near Delphi A portion OF, the site
Of the ancient town is now occupied by
a village called Kastri and interesting
excavations have been made there in

Prominent Men Have Their Sens En-
rolled-GeneraI Wood Co-operates.
New York.-The youngest army ever
called together was modified recently.
One thousand New York schoolboys,
aged twelve and up, met at national
guard armOries in Manhattan and
Brooklyn to enroll for the big summer
camp which is being organized by the
National School Camp association of
l Broadway.
The regiment which answered the
call to the cOlors is but the first group
OF what is expected to be the largest
schoolboy organization in the city
Preparations are being made by the
association to accommodate as many
as $4,000 boys at the camp during the
summer
The meetings were held with the APP
prevail and cooperation of Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood, who detailed Of
ficers under his command to be present
at the armories and talk to the bows
enlisting.
The largest and most enthusiastic
meeting was held at the TWenty-third
Infantry Regiment armory on Bedford
avenue. Brooklyn. Fully 600 boys en-
rolled and cheered Captain Il. T.. Muir
ply Of Fort WadsWOrth, who spoke to
them. The officer told them Of the ad-
vantages Of preparedness. He mar
rated the military history of the coun-
try, giving examples of how heavy 4
price was paid for lack of prepared
ness
Many prominent men attended the
meeting to enroll their sons Colonel
Chamberlain of General Woods staff
brought his boy to stand in line with
the sons of Colonel Mitcham, also of
General Woods staff, and Of Lieuten-
ant Commander Jessup Of the Brook
Ign navy yard
y number Of the faculty Of the
Brooklyn Polytechnic institute also
was present. There is a plan under
way to organize a battalion in the in
stitute to attend the camp.
The idea Of a great camp within
trolley distance of New York has prov
cd a most popular one. Hundreds Of
boys have had their applications filed
q considerable time. while hundreds of
parents have also written the asSocia-
ton asking permission to enroll their
boys.
The camp will probably be located
on Staten Island, though the site has
not yet been definitely picked. 1t will
be a gunlcss camp; but. aside from
this detail, the work will follow close
ly that done in groWnupS' crg2niZa
tons. Any boy over twelve III public
school. high school or college is cli@i-
bic to join 1t is expected that corps
will be formed Of medical students,
who will have splendid opportunity
to study the important subject Of camp
sanitation.
The camp will open July I and vii!
be held for two months. Boys may re-
main there from two weeks to the en-
tire two months if they choose. The
entire cost to each boy Will be about
20 cents q day. Each young soldier
will have 10 supply his own uniform,
which will be similar to that Of the
boy scouts.
The incipient soldiers will be put
through a stiff course Of training in
general field work. open order work
and the other regulation army drills,
In the meantime. before the camp is
opened. the enrolled members Of the
camp will drill several days every
week in the city armories.

notice.
The result was Il department OF mt

WHERE CAN THEY coNeREaATea

THE CLOSING Of the saloons re-
j moved not only liquor from Ore
gon. It also eliminated the meeting
place of thousands Of men all over
oregon. All the confectionery stores
are displaying grape juice, loganberry
juice and many other substitutes for
the absent liquor, but as yet nothing
has been provided as a substitute for
men to spend their idle hours.
Because a man spent time in a sa-
loon was not a sign that he was =
hopeless inebriate. Many went there
in order to help pass away time that
hung heavy on them. There they were
sure Of a warm fire, Of the companion
ship of men, Now these men are in a
most forlorn condition. They are try
ing the pool halls. the barbershops,
and even the stores as possible places
to spend their idle hours. and in de-
spair, they finally return to their rooms
and 60 to bed several hours earlier
than they would otherwise do.
The Presbyterian church will this
evening hold meeting to discuss the
question of providing some sort of
quarters or resort where these men
can meet informally and spend their
spare time in profitable way. All
are invited, and all who possibly can
should attend. The attendance should
also include some or the men the
seeks to aid. as their sug-
gestions should prove very valuable.
These men should not look upon
this as a charitable move, for it Ger.
