Summer brought intermission to
some OF the activities Of the House Of
Happiness. the settlement or neigh
borhood house Of Richmond's Baptist
women, but the library was opened to
readers, several of the clubs kept up
their work. and the playground was a
source Of constant JOY to the children
of tho neighborhood during the hot
weather.
The crowninG event of the season.
and time ever to be remembered,
was the summer camp for girls made
possible by the generous invitation and
help of J. G. Davidson, proprietor of
Millboro Springs. The previous sum-
mer, Mr. Davidson invited Miss Mamie
West. the director of the House of
Happiness, to bring her girls up to
Bath County and camp on his grounds.
This proposition seemed an attrac-
tive impossibility, but all through the
winter Miss West thought OF 1t and
wondered how twenty girls who had
nothing to spend on travelling could
be transported from Richmond to Bath
County without cost. She talked OF
1t to her friends. and at last found a
kind-henrted railroad man. who offered
to deadhead not only the Eiris. but
their equipment. Eagerly then the
planning began for the summer camp

The Chasscurs are the crack troops
Of the French army. They are the

memorial service held in a little Catho-

to the front. a full requiem mass for
the Chasseurs killed in the last attack.
1t was an inspiring scene to be in tho
presence Of these men who are always
in advance. always in the most danger
GUS placer. In the field outside of the
church the commanding officer ad-
dressed his men. They solemnly swore
to carry their standards further than
ever, and that they would avense their
fallen comrades. and fight until they
sang the "Marseillaise" on the other
side OF the Rhine. With shells burst

money-nearly S1o0-which was to pro-
vide food and tho incidental expenses.
TWENTY-FIVE GIRLS
HAVE IDEAL VACATION
On Friday. July 13. Miss West and
one Of the girls went up to get the
camp In readiness for the sixteen girls
and two chapcrones who were to come
two days later. Three other girls were
added to the number after the first
week, making total of twenty-five.
The location was ideal-an old mill
with the mill stream flowing by and
background of mountains. Cooking
was done on the lower floor of the
mill. and few girls slept upstairs,
but most of them slept in three tents
out Of doors. The dining room was
piece OF tenting stretched for a roof
just by the creek. After meals each
girl took her own plate. cup and
saucer and washed them in the creek,
thus eliminating the dishwashing fea-
ture. which most campers find irksome.
Nor was 1t necessary to waste tho
scraps. for some ducks living nearby
acommodatingly came down to eat up
all that was left.
In this same stream was a fine bath
ing place. and the girls were never
swim and dive, and some Of them be-
came quite expert. Another purpose
was also served by the stream. for tho
campers found 1t convenient laundry,
and at times six or eight girls might
be seen busily washing out their
clothes while they merrily sang:
Rub dub n dub.
All goes in the tub,
And everybody owes rub"
and SO they made play Of what at
homo would have seemed real work
and perhaps drudgery.
MANY JOYOUS HIKES OVER
THE NEARBY MOUNTAINS
Many were tho joyous hikes
taken over the mountains and in the
neighborhood, the one to Blowing Cave
being the most noteworthy. While
going through the cave tho girls were
tied together for fear of slipping and
getting lost in tho darkness. They
came out with an agreeable shfvcr of
delight, glad to have been In a real

GREAT DEMAND FOR
PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES
State Board Of Health Finds Employ
ment for All Graduates of
Recent COurHe,

Upon the conclusion OF the course
just given by the State Board of Health
in the principles of public health
nursing. all the attendants upon tho
course who were willing to accept were
Immediately chosen by local authori-
ties to responsible positions as public
health nurses.
The States course, which was the
first of It's kind undertaken in vir-
ginia, was designed to acquaint gradu-
ate nurses with the problems of pub
lie health nursing, in order that the
heavy demands for such nurses coald
more adequately be met.
The course lasted for six weeks and
was under the direction Of Mrs. Jane
b. Ransom, the supervisor of public
health nursing of the State Board OF
Health. Lecturers were procured from
Richmond and other cities to discuss
the various medical. sanitary and So
cial aspects Of public health nurses.
Field Investigations were also made in
collaboration with the various chari-
ties and social organizations OF Rich
mond.
When the course was completed, the
nurses In attendance were asked II
they would accept positions for which
their studies had shown them qualified.
In n few instances the nurses reported
that they could not. for one reason or
another. leave their present places OF
residence. All those. however, who
were willing to accept positions were
Immediately employed by county and
city authorities In different parts Of
the State. and will begin work within
the next few weeks. Other positions
are soon to be ayaflahIa for ooronntap,
graduate nurses who have had special
training in public health nursing, and
the demand. in the judgment OF the
board, will probably continue larger
than the supply for some months to
come.
