JEWISH SOLDIERS
To Be CARED FOR
WHEN OFF DUTY

The committee Of Hebrew men and
women who have been selected TO care
for the interests Of the Jewish SOL
diers and sailors at Camp Lee, Rich
mond and Quantico. met yesterday at
II O'Clock in the Jefferson club to
arrive at some definite plan of action,
elect sub-ecmmittees and generally
perfect their organization. Edward
EigenbruT is chairman Of the general
committee, the Rev. Edward y. Cal
isch. secretary. and Milton J. Straus
is vice-ohairman.
The folloRiRsWere- eiscted-in- head
the various subcommittee. William
II Schwarzschild chairman OF the
finance committee. Mrs. Samuel
Cohen chairman At ladies. u4-
Hilary committee, II 6 bloom berg
chairman of the headquarters COM
mittee, and DR.. Csfisch, chairman Of
the committee on religious activities.
The policy of the committee is to
see that Hebrews in the national ser
vice be surrounded by the proper en-
vironrnent while not on duty in the
camps The activities Of the commit
tee do rot reach, in any instance, to
the places Of training, but are IN
fined solely to caring for the soldier
or sailor after he leaves the camp.
This car be accomplished in many
ways the opening of the synagogues

in the homes OF the Jews of Rich
mond In this II IS thought
that the soldiers can be made TO re-
alze that they are not isolated from
their people. but are objects Of con-
slant consideration and affection.
The committee was addressed by
Mr.. John z L8throp, the Camp Lee
representative Of the commission on
training camp activities, Mr. L4athrop
suggested that there he appointed a
committee to enter into the work of
providing entertainment and proper
Influences for the soldiers within the
camp, in addition TO the general COM
mittee already formed for their care
when away from the camp. II is
thought that such a committee will
be appointed in the near future.

CONCRETE. PAVEMENT IS BEST
Affords as Good Foothoid for Horses
~ Any Other Hard Surface and
Wears Quite Well.

The concrete pavement In use on the
main driveway at the Kansas State
Agricultural college has proved that
this type Of pavement is successful.
according TO L. E. Conrad, professor
Of civil engineering. This pavement
has been In use for more than three
years and shows practically no wear.
The trafhc over this road Is heavy.
1t consists Of all the coal and machin-
cry delivered to the college. a large
part Of the material that Is used In the
construction Of new buildings on the
campus. college mail and express, and
the many pleasure vehicles that are
continually using this road.
Two methods were used to surface
the road. On the level portion Of the
roadway the finish was made compar-
atively smooth. while on the grades a
heavy stable brush was drawn over
the green cement, leaving rough sur
face. 1t Is probable that after few
years Of service the roadway which
has the smooth surface will present a
more uniform appearance but at pres
ent there is no appreciable difference
"The transfers hauling coal to the
college power plant were strongly OF
the opinion that the road Would be
slippery" remarked Mr.Conrad, but
they say, after using 1t for three years
that 1t affords as good foothold fol
| the horses as any hard surface.
"The expansion and contraction o.
the concrete Is taken up by steel-bount
joints that are placed every 80 feet
these joints being surrounded by al
elastic material. Outside of few
dollars for replacing some Of this ma
terial. there has been no expense what
ever for the repair or upkeep OF tn
roadway"

Outline Of King Drag.

Its further use I give this detailed
drawing and make the following sug-
gestiOns:
Use light wood. The drag will do
the most efficient work If it Is light
enough for one man to lift.
Don't use square timber. as 1t Will
not stay sharp on the edge like a
half-rOund timber. A log from 10
to IL inches In diameter Is best.
