realistic possible. Hikes are taken, when
members OF the squad break all sorts of mag
mary bones and get sundry and divers injuries
that necessitate first aid right on the field In
several cases the wounds were supposed to be
so serious that the patients had to be carried
back into camp.
To get a real conception of the scope of
this preparedness camp one must take into
consideration the preliminary work. which
took hundred men two whole days to COM
plete on the ten-acre tract of improved land
loaned by Senator Newlands, of Nevada
This tract is just short distance from the
Chevy Chase Club. The camp itself, being
planned as a model for all the world to fol-
low, is modern in every respect and strictly
according to the standard of the army There
were big bathhouse for the students and
mess tent Us feet long in three sections, all
screened special telephone line is iun into
camp and running water and an electric light
ing system that gives light to every tent and
adds greatly to the comfort There are sew
enty khaki tents OF most improved type, with
a ventilating arrangement az the top, all pro-
Wded with floors; more than 200 cots, over a
hundred small tables and forty large tables for
the mess tent.
To conform TO modern sanitary science,
mosquito netting, paper cups, paper towels
and napkins and individual agate wash basins
are provided. Each tent is occupied by FIVE
students, and in most cases there are several
OF this group entire strangers to one another.
Each day one of the FIVE has charge of the
tent and is responsible for its appearance at
the round OF inspection. Not SO much as

army field diet kitchen and its work.
The hospital supply tent is one of the
busiest spots in the entire ten acres allotted
10 this project Here, under competent
steamstress and the direction Of Miss Caroline
Lamson. of the Red Cross, garments are made
for hospital use according to the accepted
standard patterns. Sewing machines cutting
tables yeardsticks and flying needles and
scissors give the tent a most business-like
aspect. and bathrobes, bed sacks and operating
robes are turned out at brisk rate. for there
five classes day of an hour each.
Musket covers are now part of the regular
sewing assortment since the necessity for
their use has been demonstrated by the trench
warfare of Europe. Knitting is another ac
complishment taught, and regulars" rock
les" and officers alike may be seen dexterously
plying their one long needle, forming what
the average layman would call wash rags, but
in Red Cross parlance are "sponges," devised
for use in sopping blood from wounds, after
which they may be made fit for further use
by means of sterilization. Socks and mufflers
are also fashioned by the knitting class Four
thousand yards Of gauze was deposited at the
