Vacation Summer Camp.
Another one of the highly useful
charitable enterprises maintained
during the last year is the Vacation
Summer Camp. About 200 persons
were taken care of during the last
year. Mrs. Gerson Altman was the
director and Miss Gertrude Murell
was resident matron. The Camp
was kept open during the summer
months. All the food is Kosher; it
is supported by the Temple Relief
Society, the Jewish Charities and by
voluntary contributions.
Council of Jewish Women.
The Council of Jewish Women
have had very active and success
full year, due in large degree to
the devotion and zeal Of it's presi-
dent, Mrs. I. L. Rypins. It's mem
bership is about Us. Among some
of it's activities of which special
mention may be made, is the
monthly contribution of $50 given
by the Council to the War Relief
Fund. The Council has also estab-
lished an educational fund for the
purpose of helping University STU
dents in need of assistance, and dur
ing the past year University stu
dents were so assisted. The philan-
thropic committee of the Council Of
which Mrs. Michael Frankel is
chairman, has rendered most dis
tinguished services by it's work
among the blind of the state. Among
other things, they have secured free
admission to concerts by the Min
neapolis Symphony Orchestra for
the blind and in other ways have
been of inestimable assistance to
them. Liberal contributions and
support has been given by the Coun-
Gil to the Neighborhood House, the
Summer Vacation Camp, the Child
Welfare Commission, the Prison
Labor Association, the Child Labor
Bureau. The Council has been very
active in Red Cross work, and the

Architects Go TO France.

It is gratifying to learn that many
architects have responded to the call
of the signal corps Of the war depart
ment for volunteers from the profess
sion to go to France and assist in the
construction Of aviation camps there,
says an exchange.
These men enter the national service
as first lieutenants, as so many men,
bers of other American professions
have done. They will provide the gov
eminent with expert aid in the carry
ing out of q task which promises to
rank among the most important of the
war. The entente campaign in the air
will be vastly increased next year if
present plans hold. The number of
machines to be put into service is ex-
pected to reach far into the thousands.

Blind Belief.

Swedish Consul Gustavus Swan said,
in discussing the war:
THE exposures from Buenos Aires
show that Germany believes all's fair
In love and war. Germany duped my
own government no less than the Ar
gentine government.
Germany, it is clear, believes alps
fair in love and war as blindly as
scientists believe in facts. Hence she
goes horribly wrong, like the eminent
New England scientist wrote to Tenny-
son one day:
Dear Sir: l find in recent poem
of yours, entitled "The Vision of SIM"
the following unwarranted statement ::
Every moment dies man and every
moment one is BORN" I need hardly
point out that this calculation, if cor
rect, would tend to keep the sum total
Of the worlds population in state of
perpetual equipoise, whereas it is an
established fact that the said pOpula-
ton is constantly on the increase. I
would, therefore, suggest that in the
next edition Of this poem the errone-
Gus calculation to which / refer should
be corrected as follows: "Eyery mo-
ment dies a man and one and a six
teenth is born" I may add that the
exact figures are 1.167, but something
must, of course, be conceded to the
laws of rhythm"

Chestnuts to AideWar.

British children ali over the country
wherever the chestnut tree grows are
gathering horse chestnuts as told in
the Christian Science Monitor. 1t is
their particular contribution to the
winning of the war, for ripe horse
chestnuts have been discovered to pro-
vide a good substitute for the grain
which is used in the making of NUM-
tons. 1t will be quite valuable serv-
ice, for the computation is that every
ton of chestnuts will save half a ton
of grain. The gathering is organized
by committees in connection with the
schools. and woods and lanes see
bands of young patriots enjoying their
"war work" hugely.

Vermont Increases Food.

The hope that the appeal for the
production of more food might result
in some increase of wheatgrowing in
the East has been justified in Vermont.
It is estimated that $1,000 bushels Of
wheat were grown this year, against
$4,000 bushels last year. The YER
monters have also done well along 9TH
er lines. for thee estimated yield Of
corn, wheat, OATS barley and potatoes

RUINED CITIES OF FRANCE
Many Of Them Fsve Taken on
Character of Permanently, So End
less Does War Seem to People.

There is new kind of city on earth
today, strange, nightmare kind of
city that has taken on for the people
of northern France almost a character
of permaneney, so endless is this war.
People have lived through so much
SHINE August, 1914, that they seem to
themselves to have been always at
war and, looking forward, they see
nothing but long years of warfare. The
ruined cities such as Arras have be-
come part of the natural order of
things, and the strange life in them has
come to seem natural sort of life.
Towns like this are found by the score
where the slow pressure of the allies
Is forcing the Prussian back, says a
war correspondent
They are the towns that have been
bOmbarded and bombarded again,
taken and retaken, assaulted and cap
tured, and cannonaded by those who
held them the day before, until it is a
marvel that one brick remains on an
other. They are full of ruined houses
and shattered quarters of all degrees
of destruction, and, stranger than all,
they have blocks and sections that by
some miracle escaped.
Here is a row of houses that might
be in the far South, 200 miles from the
battle front. The shutters are up and
the streets are deserted, as though the
people We're late in rising. Here is a
public, square pitted with shellholes,
one side fronted by row of buildings,
whole save for broken windows, the
other bounded only by shapeless
masses of brick and stone. Here and
there slow smoke curls upward from
some gnawing fire. A hundred yards
away there may be stubborn family
still occupying It's old home, but no.
body puts out the fire. The civilians
are too hopeless and the soldiers are
too busy.
And here is house with the front
sliced Off by shell and the rooms still
all in Order-a strange spectacle-with
beds and bureaus and chairs and tables
all in order, as though. some enterpriS-
ing furniture dealer had undertaken
new and ambitious form of window
display. For the most part the noblest
buildings, the churches and public halls
and the lowered relics of the Gothic
period are gOne-they furnish too easy
mark for the rangefinder. And ever
and again dull crash tells of another
shell carrying on the barbarous work.

Wisconsin Teams Lose
Interstate Games

In the Interstate Leagues open
ing games last Sunday the three
Minnesota teams were victorious,
but in every contest high class base
ball was played.
At Ellsworth the Shermans were
booted into 5 to l victory, each OF
their scores resulting from costly
errors. Shirley pitched good game
for the County Seat outfit for seven
innings, but misplays behind him
had already lost the game. The old
time stars of the Ellsworth lineup
proved rather a Disappointment, both
IN fielding and batting, while the
rockies" or home talent, more
than made good in all departments.
New Richmond lost to The Cars
at South St. Paul, to l. Sorensen
pitched great game, but the Windy
City willow wavers were unable to
hit when hits meant runs.
The Stillwater-Hudson game at
the Prison City drew the leagues
largest attendance for the day, over
1000 buying admission tickets, be-
sides the couple of hundred young
sters who were guests of the man
agement. This game proved to be a
great pitchers duel between Klein
holtz and Bertch. but with sufficient
base running and clever fielding to
keep the excitement at fever pitch
throughout the entire nine innings.
In the last Of the eighth an error
and overthrow placed runner on
second and Drechler brought him in
for the only score of the game with
a neat single through the pitchers

Boosters Lose to 4-Bards and
CaterpiIlars Play Tonight.

Capt. Wiger & Co. gave the Boost
ers a lesson in scientific "inside" base
ball Tuesday evening and started out
the season just where they left off
last year, in the lead. The cautain
proved a true leader, heading his bat
ting list and, with two screening
singles, paved the way for his teams
victory. His pitchers we're working
in mid-season for and allowed Capt.
Anderson's batters but three hits. One
Of these was "homer," by Harry
johnson.
The feature Of the game was the
work of Prof. Hunt behind the bat for
the Crests. 1t was a startling reve-
lation to Capts. Anderson, Lusk and
Fortune, who had figured themselves
the more fortunate in backstops, but
it now looks certain that Wiger pulled
off another foxy stunt in securing the
best material in the league.
