WAR CAMP SERVICE
STAMDARD|zES CLUBS
War Camp Community Service Issues
Sag<estions For Homes of Army
and Navy Clubs.

Especial to The Richmond VirginianD
the war camp community service for
the war and navy departments com
missions on training camp activities in
esta blishing clubs for. our soldiers. SAIL
ors and marines in the various cities
and towns near our great training
camps environments and naval stations
has progressed so far that its national
headQua rters at ] Madison avenue has
been able to issue a series of sugges-
tions for standardizing these units.
The suggested minimum space for
the Hobbies which serve as information
and reception rooms is 1,2oo square
feet. The minimum space recommended
for the auditorium or large hall. TO
be used for meetings, games. dances
and lounging rooms is $500 square
feet The pool and game room should
be large enough to provide for from
three to ten pool and billiard tables.
The space recommended for the cam
teens or restaurants and for the read
ing and writing rooms is 1900 square
feet each
Where conditions permit (the In
struetions read). it is desirable to have
the above features in separate rooms,
but it is not essential In many clubs
all of these features are contained in
a single large hall. The instructions
GO on to recommend 1900 square feet
as the minimum space for the clothes
pressing sha wing, shoeshining and
dressing rooms.
The dormtories may he one or more
large halls. or may be small separate
rooms. In case of new construction IL
is generally advisable to have large
rooms containing several beds rather
than small single rooms. Not only
can more beds be provided in the
same space, but this is less expensive
construction and better ventilated. IN
the big unit No g. the old Hotel Earl
ington in New York, however, the
plan has been adopted OF putting all
the men who want to be called at the
same hour in the morning in the same
room and this has been most success
full and agreeable to the occupants.
The dormitory should, II possible. be
on separate floor from the social
features II is well to have it on the
same floor with the baths and lavatory
and dressing rooms, The space should
be sufficient to install from 100 to
] GOO cot beds and to provide AIDE
auate floor and air space to conform
10 health and fire regulations.

sunday Saving OF Gasoline.

Public opinion proved all potent In
seeing that the request of the United
States fuel admin tration, that
pleasure driving of automobiles be
discontinued on sundays. was gen
orally needed.
In several cities the boys made life
miserable for motorists who failed in
their duty. In some instances. where
autom obilists ignored the request and
displayed flags on their machines,
these cmblems were removed, with
the contention that any one who so
failed in their patriotic duty had no
right to display the flag.
In many places the police took a
hand by requiring all motorists TO ex-
plain their purpose for using cars on
Sunday. The newspapers led public
opinion by the manner with which,
without exception. they criticized
those who used their cars.
