camp during the opening exercises
Yesterday declared its location Is
ideal. 1t is so good, in fact, that
when the. women campers leave a
section of the army may supplant
them. Strategically also the location
is good, commanding a view of the
chain bridge and the Potomac river.
Bed Making Difficult.
Some of the campers had more diff
hculty in making their beds yester-
day than they did. in any Of their
classes. Nearly ali of the women are
either college graduates or have -di-
plomas from some high school or pri-
vate school certifying their right to
take a university examination.
Naturally. 1t is not difficult Tor
women of this intellectual stamp to
grasp readily-more readily than
most men-the course of study which
they are required to take.
But bed making is another matter.
They must make up their cots after
the fashion prevailing In the United
States army, with the blankets and
sheets square at the corners and with
the ensemble in perfectly un-
wrinkled condition. This requires
hours and hours of practice before
one gets the hang of It. To woman
who, prior to her entry into the vol
unteer corps, probably never made a
bed in her life, the task seems super
human.
They are learning, though. The
encouragement of the second-year
campers to those who are taking their
first year of the simple life aids ma
terially.

GARDEN CONTEST BY

Central Citizens Body Seeks
Use of Postoffice Tract
For Purpose.

Perhaps the most interesting ex-

the Central Citizens Association this
summer IL II can procure from Post
master Chance the small tract OF land
back of the new City PosteffIce, on
G street between North Capitol and

The plan is to divide the plot into
three sections for the three schools
in the neighborhood-the Gales and
Blake public schools, and Gonzaga
Parochial School-and offer a prize to
tne, school which makes the most of
it's plot.
The association was Informed by the
Postoffice authorities. In a letter read
at their meeting last night, that the
tract has just been sodded, and that
the department did not feel justified
In turning IL over for garden pur-
poses at this time.

however. After. appointing Robert
