HEAT AT CAMPS |
NOW SUPPLIED
Thousands of Stoves Are
Installed Till Plants
Are Completed.

Every one of the sixteen national
army cantonments will have complete
heating apparatus by November !. ac-
cording TO statement issued by the
War Department yesterday. The
statement was made by Brig. Gen.
Isaac W. Lttell. in charge OF canton
ment construction. with the approval
of Secretary Baker.
It was IN response to charges from
several quarters that the health of
selective men was being imperiiled by
the camps. From Camp Devcns, Aver,
Mass, especially came severe charges.
It was stated that the New England
winter was already setting in that
thousands of men were exposeS IN
fiimsy barracks and that the beating
rlant could not be completed much
before Christmas and even then would
not operate effectively as the plan
called for overhead steam pipes, run
ming from building to building and
that fully SIS per cent of the heat would
be lost in the cold outside air.
Gen. LittelPs statement declares that
four camps-those at Aver. Battle
Creek, Mich: Rockford, Ill. and Fort
Riley, Kans., are to be steam heated
throughout. Some delay has occurred,
he declares. in the installation Of the
steam heating facilities, mainly be-
cause of labor shortage and delay in
shipments of materials. To prevent
hardships the construction chiefs at
the camps have been directed to In

weaver TAKES
HIS OATH TODAY
Newly Appointed D. C
Fuel Administrator Is ST.
a Year Man.

John l. Weaver, prominent local
real estate broker, will be formally
sworn in this morning as Fuel Ad-
ministrator Of the District OF CO.
lumbia.
At the office building Of the United
States Fuel Administration, Weaver
will take the oath. There will be
no frills about the procedure. No
formal statements of future policy,
and in Weaver's own words. Just
like any government clerk"
There has. since Weaver's appoint
ment by the President. been many
questions as to the policy and the
prospective work of the future adj
ministrator. Perhaps Weaver. him
self, is in almost as much doubt
about that part of IL as the public
The one paramount thought in the
mind Of the public Is what will be
the price OF coal as fixed by the fu-
ture administrator? This Is also the
principal thought of Weaver. And in
addition to conducting his brokerage
business Weaver is directing all his
energies to this part of his new job.
When the Offices OF the District Fuel
Administrator are opened in the Wood
ward Building there will be a cer4
tain number OF advisory committees
to assist Weaver. Each COMMITTEES
will have a chief and under them
subordinates.
When interviewed yesterday after
noon Weaver could not speak def
initely as to the number of commit
tees that he will appoint to be under

negro Study Club
WORK IS outlined
Speakers Advise Race to Show
Courage in Industry.

Commercial Business Opportuni-
ties was the subject of an address
delivered by DIR. c. J. Woodson, be-
fore the colored Commercial Study
Club Of the District last night at
the Y. N. c. A. Building in Twelfth
street. before a large audience.
DR.. Woodson told of the opportu-
mites that presented themselves in
the commercial world for colored citi-
zens, provided they first realized that
the white man was the best friend
that the negro had, and also that
courage and perseverance we're the
! only means OF success. He also eau
toned his audience that before the
colored race could expect to take its
place in the commercial woSld along
side the white. it must be able to
produce as good results.
C. F. Mcfarland also spoke along
similar lines.
Robert Queen. chairman of the do
nestle committee. made an interest
ing report regarding the establishment
OF steam laundry in the District.
this being the first business enter
prise to be actually undertaken under
the direct supervision OF the club.
The Washington herald., 1917-10-19

his Jurisdiction. 1t is stated on good
authority, however, and also inferred
from Weaver that there will be three
advisory committees.
These committees will probably
consist of a body to investigate, de-
eide upon, and advise Weaver as to
the fairest price of coal to be fixed
in the District as compared with
other cities of the United States.
A second committee will conduct
and cooperate with DR.. Harry A,
Garfield. Of the National Fuel Ad-
ministration. in regard to the ship
ment of coal into Washington.
The other question that is con-
fronting Weaver-that of getting the
coal from the mines TO ship to Wash
ington-will be investigated anc
worked out by the third and last
committee of Mr.. Weaver's stan.

stall wood burning stoves in all the
principal buildings and this has been
done. Only the sleeping quarters are
without such stoves.
Hot-Air Furnaces.
The twelve other camps will be
heated by large hot-alr furnaces, with
the exception of the hospitals and Of
ficers' quarters, which will have steam
heat.
Defending the steam-heating sys-
TEN. Gen. Littell says it IL the same
as used in many industrial plants
whose units are widely scattered and
that the question of loss of heat de-
ponds entirely upon insulation of the
pipes. Either underground or over
head heat would be lost through i'm
proper insulation, he asserts, and con-
, struction chiefs have been ordered
to take every precaution to see that
perfect insulation is installed.

tell declares there is every prospect
Of the plant at Camp Devens being

At Camp Custer. Battle Creek. nine
of the fifteen steam plants are al
ready completed and 800 stoves have
been installed pending the completion
Of the other six steam plants, which
should be ready by November l. Au-
thorization, meanwhile, has been
granted for 1000 additional stoves.
| At Camp Grant, Rockford. the
steam will be on by October q
Twelve of fifteen plants have been
completed.
| Camp Funston, Fort Riley. is In
the worst shape. Only three steam
Tiants out of the eighteen being con-
structed have been completed. Any
number of stoves necessary will be
supplied. however, pending the COM
pletion OF the furnaces.

OIL DEVELOPMENT.

Owing to the inclement wealth
er Of the past few days there has
not been the great activity in
the field there was some days
ago. The two wells being drilled
by the Gulf Company which is
nearing completion is expected to
be good producers. The two 9th
ers of the same Company are
now at a good depth and the for
nations are said to be very sat
isfactory.
The Sun Oil Co. in charge of
Mr.. Willie Delahoussaye after
shooting its drill stem is now
milling through the six inch cas-
ing in order to side track that
portion Of the drill stem which
was left in the hole. This well
is being watched with great
deal Of interest and producing
well is expected.
The Parafn- Petroleum Com
pany has resumed operations on
the Sumrall tract and are pre-
pairing to set their surface cas-
ing.
The producing well Of the Gulf
Company on the Bernard tract
continues to pump about one hun
dred and forty barrels per day
indicating that this well is
finished in a stratum Of oil sand
and not in a little pocket as many
of our citizens supposed. This
gives assurance that it will be
only a question Of time when the
Little Bayou Oil field will be rec
ognized as one Of the largest in
the South.

hearts who go to fight under the
standard of our Nation. another
band Of kindly generous hearts.
that go to serve under the holy
banner of the Red Cross; and
here let us solemnly charge those
responsible, to see that the ban
ner Of the Cross is kept holy at
home and across the seas. Nor
TO those who desecrate it, by pit
tiness, vanity OF dissension. Let
that standard be kept wherever
there is danger or suffering, and
there let it. represent all the
tenderness, all the purity Of the
love Of Christ for suffering hu-
manity. Thus far in our works,
we have all united to make these
words, of this good man possible.
Before closing let me ask the
members, who can sew, knit. and
learn to make bandages, not to
forget though the weather is
warm, the men who have crossed

Two week ago many Christian
mothers and their daughters,
from several adjoining points, ac-
cepted the splendid opportunity
offered to them by the ladies Of
the Sacred Heart at Grand Co.
teau, and enjoyed series of in
structions given in mastery
way by the scholarly Jesuit priest
Reverend Father James Brooks of
st. Charles College, Grand Co
teau. The lucky participants also
heard from Father Brooks that
the Grand Coteau Academy, for
the first time, this session, would
open its Normal School, giving
thus to our young girls the double
advantage of a highly ripened add

No doubt many wise mothers will
avail themselves of this unusual
