ITO the Palladium:
The Y NJ C. A. boys have been in
camp since Wednesday, June 49, Even
the cold. cloudy and rainy weather of
the first few days failed to dampen
the enthusiastic camp spirit of the
boys.
There are forty-three in camp, and
every day is filled with work, play,
nature study, swimming, etc. In the
evening we all gather around the big
camp fire to tell stories, sing the camp
songs and in this manner we bring
the busy day to a close.
All the camp activities are organ
ICED to follow regular schedule and
the camp leaders are in charge of
every phase of camp life.
Mysterious Ritual Used
The boys are all working now to
become members of the "F1atrock Or
der" and If they pass the tests sue
cessfully they will be given camp
monogram Also a mysterious initia-
ton will be given to the boys who are
admitted to membership.
ITO become a member the boys
must pass four out Of six in the fol-
lowing: physical, mental, social and
moral tests.
Through the courtesyand kindness
Of Rev. Thomas Adams. formerly of
the Richmond Christian church, all
the camp boys were invited to Milroy
for Sunday school and church. At the
close of the services all the boys
were invited to stay for the big basket
dinner in the basement of the church.
Such a bountiful dinner and hospit-
able welcome could scarcely be sur
passed. The boys all hiked over to
Milroy, distance of seven miles, and
were brought back in autos to camp
in the afternoon.
Every phase of camp life is run
ming smoothly and the camp manage

Germans Raise Fund
to Pension Cripples

COPENHAGEN (via London. June
19.-German newspapers print an i'm
partial appeal for the collection of a
great national fund to supplement pen
sions for war cripples and the fam
lilies of soldiers in the same fashion
as widows and other dependents of fall
len soldiers are now assisted from a
fund collected by popular subscrip-
ton. The government pensions are
described as utterly inadequate and
instances are cited by figures from the
Rhine district where, the pension for
men with families is only 67 marks.
The Vorwaerts calls it a crying
shame and disgrace to appeal to pri-
vate generosity for the relief which a
grateful fatherland should grant ade-
quately from the public treasury.

Contrasts TWO Systems.
The speaker contrasted the old
modified federal form of munic-
ipal government and the system un-
der which Dayton is now operating.
a system more highly centralized
and considered TO be more efficient
than the original commission
form. He pointed out that the
Dayton form is analogous 10 the

fciency obtaiuable with this form.
Bad government i'm the cities is

officials. ne declared.
Mr.. Waite described the Dayton
government briefly as follows: A
commission OF five members is elect
ed by the people. serving as the
legislative body and selecting a city
manager. to whom the commission
bears the relation of a board of di-
rectOrs" The city manager selects
the heads of the five departments of
municipal government. law. finance,
welfare service and safety, solely
upon their fitness for their partic-
ular functions of government. These
department heads constituting the
staf are responsible. with the city
manager. for the administration of
city affairs The commission func-
ton solely as legislative and ad-
visory body q g. there is no con-
fict or confusion in these two de-
partments.

positions under this system. An
