AST Tuesday New York saw th'
 opening of another "Women''
 -A Plattsburg, and it is very popu lar, as it is in easy reach of New York
 Mrs. William Alexander of New York was the moving spirit in establishing the nation service school camp for women which was recently opened at Roway- on-the-Sound, Conn. The purpose is simi- lar to that of the Cheevy Chase camp recently held in Washington, and in which many society leaders went through a rigid course of training for the serv- ice in the time of war. Last Tuesday morning fair bugler blew the signal for the tents to be pitched for the camE where the remainder of the summer the women of the land will be trained under military discipline.
 Nor is the Women's Plattsburg to be all work and no play. Canoeing, boating and bathing in the sound are held out as in- ducements for leisure moments.
 Any well recommended woman may join the camp and participate in the training, with board thrown in, at the rate of SIP a week Day students will be received without board at $1 a day. Each camper is required to provide her self with 19 articles of equipment, begin ming with two sheets and pillow cases and ending with a large pocket clasp knife.
 An electric flash lamp, raincoat, two white "middy" blouses and one dark one, a pair of brown "sneaks,'' a large rubber blanket or poncho and a clothes bag with loops and pucker strings for hang ing" are other items in the list of mi ladys war outfit.
 Baggage will be limited to a bedding roll and suitcase, or one small steamer trunk.
 Hygiene and home nursing, first aid, wireless telegraphy motor cycling and boating, practical and scientific garden ing-these are some of the problems to be studied by the girl Plattsburgers. With the exception of the absence of firearms, their daily routine will have soldierly character from reveille at sunrise to taps at 10 D. m.
 The camp is an enterprise of the Ma tional Special Aid society, of which Mrs. William Alexander is president.
 This society has already done much work for preparedness
