STEPS TO SHIELD GIRLS
. NEAR MILITARY CENTERS

What steps the government is taking
to supervise an important problem
the protection of young girls in mill
tary centers-is explained at length
in statement issued by the commits
sion on training camp activities of the
War Department. This service is per-
formed under tho direction of a COM
mittee on protective work for girls. of
which Miss Maude E. Miner of New
York fs chairman.
Mrs. James S. Cushman of New York,
Mrs. William F. Drummer OF Chicago,
Mrs. Martha P. Falconer Of Philadel-
phia and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller. jr..
of New York.
Esta adjustment of bureaus at each of
the training camp centers. where girls
will be looked after by women of the
community. is one of the plans devised
by the committee to shield girls from
possible harmful influences.
Cities and towns near the camps are
first visited by members Of the commit
tee. who hold interviews with social
workers. public officials and others who
have an interest in welfare and social
work. The program also includes the
establishment Of protective bureaus in
cities and towns adjacent to military
camps; securing a house of detention
for girls or other place where they
may be detained temporarily; securing
woman probation officer to deal with
girls arrested by the civil or military
authorities and brought to the courts:
official control and supervision OF
amusement resorts. and the securing
of improved laws for the protection OF
girls.
In preface, the statement says: More
than q million and a half men are con-
centrated in about eighty military
training camps in this country. The
problem created by the presence OF
young girls in the neighborhood OF
these camps is one which must be
squarely faced by the American peo-
pie. Just as 1t has been faced by the
people OF other countries in war time
The lure Of the uniform is moro than
phrase: 1t is an actually. Girls often
lose their heads in whirl of emotion
brought about by these unusual condi-
uons-and therein lies the problem"

Uses of Chinese Wood Oil.

From, Oriental News and Comment.
T"ung-yu, or wood oil, is widely used
throughout China as paint Oil for out
side purposes. AS a drying oil it excels
even linseed oil. One of its greatest local
markets is found among the boatmen, who
never paint their boats but coat them with
the cruder grades of wood oil. which not
only gives the woodwork bright. lustrous
finish, but also acts as an excellent pre-
sentative When certain mineral SUBJ
stances known as futzu and t'o-shen are
added to the wood oil and the resulting
snass is heated for about two hours,

a waterproofing substance for silks, pom
gees. etc. and also as an ornamental var
nisr when coloring materials are added.
Wood oil has many uses. It is used as
an illuninant, an ingredient in concrete,
an aduiterant in the manufacture Of lac
ouar varnish. and when mixed with lime
and bamboo shavings 1t is used by the
Chinese in calking their boats. Chinese OF
Indian ink is made from the SCOT resulting
from the burning of the oil or the fruit
huslSs. The produce Is also used as
dessing for leather, in tho manufacture of
soap. and a var1ish for fine furniture.
In foreign countries wood oil is chiefly
used for the manufacture of yarnish from
cheap gums. Other oils require a higher
and more expensive quality of gum in

the rapidity with which wood oil varnish
dries. has caused the demand for the
product to increase steadily.
Tho growing Importance OF wood oil has
led countries other than China to look
into the possibilities for the culture of the
tree within their own domains. The United
States. in particular, has made rather ex-
