Because Increased Navy Force
Demands More

ors marines and reserves now stationed at
this port
The plan includes the construction Of an
additional supply pipe to the yard The
main sixty-inch supply pipe from the Tor

far south as oregon avenue, is at present
connected with the navy yard by one
twelve-inch main II is now proposed to
construct another twelve-nch main from
oregon avenue so that there will be two
Independent supply pipes from South PhilS

The Water Bureau has the pipe on hand
and the cost connected with the change
lies In the digging Of the necessary
trenches and the laying of the pipe

DURING these last few scorching days
- one thinks with envy of the various
camps which are filed with the coming
men and women of the country roughing
it for the summer It's quite the fad,
you know, to send your boy or girl to
camp for the summer. And they surely
do have wonderful times, though what
with boarding school in winter and camp
in summer one wonders il parents ever
see their children any more and If the
child will be able to recognize its own
father and mother after five or six years
of this sort OF thing.
However. the camp is good in itself,
especially when the little girls have such
delightful counsellors as Dos Dinsmore
and Betty Dallas, who are enjoying the
"chillsomeness" Of the White Mountains
this minute. They are counsellors with
DIR. George Orton's camp for girls near
Center Harbor. Betty has charge Of the
athletics and Dos holds up the musical
end Of the camp. The honors are about
even between the two girls, as Betty has
a sweet voice and Dos is quite good in
several kinds of athletics.
The camp Is directed by Dr. Ann Tom.
kins Gibson, daughter Of DR.. Floyd Tom.
kins, and many future buds of the Quaker
City are spending a glorious two months
under her supervision.
