Baker and DR.. Gorgas in the formers
Office at which the committee was
present this was done.
DENIES CRoWDING.
The committee, Mr.. Baker said,
agreed that it would be unwise to stop
building and the course adopted was
to add to the number of barrack build
ings and reduce the number of men
assigned to each.
In only one instance, at Camp
Eevens, Mass, he said, had the So
foot rule been exceeded. Most of our

uished from the cantonments, he
added
On a basis Of eight men to each
tent, there was tentage enough on
September % at Camp Bowie to house
26,O9S men, the secretary told the
committee After this time, however,
there were only 10000 men there
Testimony previously presented to the
committee had tended to show there
was great overcrowding there and
much sickness as result.
MEASLES, THEN PNEUMONIA.
What exactly happened Mr. Baker
said, was that we gathered men in
uniform who had come from sparsely
settled parts of the country and they
were not accustomed to community
living. They were attacked with
measles Of which one of the ordinary
results is pneumonia
The secretary admitted that illness
at that camp probably was caused by
too many men being housed in one
tent together with a shortage of cloth.

to say that no army ever assembled

in their respective Jurisdictions with
regard to healthfulness, freedom from
overflow or climatic conditions inter

and non-desirable considerations.
SAYS WOOD PICKED SITES.
THE principal places where camps
were selected we're in the southeast

stating that Major General Wood. Sc
nior major general of the army, was
then in charge of the southeastern de-
parment.
Praising General Woods expert
ence and qualifications to select
sites, Secretary Baker referred to the
fact that the general had been a
medical officer and also Originated
the training camp idea, carrying it to
demonstrated success at Platts-
burgh. General Wood, he added, was
recognized by common consent in the
camp sites and inaugurate training

In every instance Mr. Baker said
the DOdTUS, luCluuluS uleulCdl OAuCeiS >,

and that the surgeon general had been
notified when the final selection was
made.

In only one case-Camp Zachary

question and Surgeon General Gorgas
sent an expert sanitarian who ap-
proved it.

PROTEST AGAINST CLOSING.
1--WE protest, therefore, against the
easy suggestions already made, that
the conservation of fuel shall begin
with religion. We regard the minis

of the indispensable agencies for the
promotion Of patriotism. the hearten

ideals in the world work now set be-

er protracted effort, it would mean
only twenty-four hours each week Of
an open church, and also that union
meetings are impractical as they are
invitations to people to remain at
home in view of the lack of room in
any one church for two congregations.
WOULD CLOSE MOVIES SUNDAY.
eve therefore suggest the follow
ing:
LET the moving picturse houses
close at least upon the Sabbath, the
day upon which they should close reg
ularly under the laws of the state of
Iowa.
LET the billiard halls, the cigar
stores, the near beer resorts, close one
day each week, before the request
shall be made for the churches to de-
crease their activities, and let the
dance hall enterprises be prohibited
at least half Of the time they now &C.

SAYS CHURCHES HELP.
"In any event, let the churches be
encouraged to go with their inspira-
tional and loyalty producing work,
their meetings for Red Cross sewing,
their appeal to the public for right
eous ideal, and their enlistment of the
youth in the ranks of Loyal Legions
whose constant injunction from the
church shall be, BE Ready and who
shall thus help win the war If the long
struggle drags on until it shall draft
the youth now in their teens, before

change the American rifle, had the
utmost consent Of every man at the
conference"
After American entered the war, Mr..
Baker said, Major General Wood came
to his office and advocated the neces-
sity of calling out large army. Sec
rotary Baker said there were not the
clothes or arms, but General Wood
replied he knew that, but contended
the men needed to live together for

told General Wood he agreed that the
army should be assembled as rapidly
as possible. but it was the intention to
build up the regular army and the
national guard first and then the

CUTS OFF ARM; SAVES CHILD

Of Harding county was forced to the
alternative of amputating an arm Of
her little daughter, or allowing the
child to suffer with her arm crushed
In the machinery of a power washing
machine until the mother could go a
long distance for help.
She decided that the arm was so
badly mangled that 1t would have to
come off, and with the implements at
hand cut the suffering child loose and
getting a team ready took her to the
nearest physician, where the injured
stump was properly cared for.
The child had been left alone in the
shed where the power machine was
operating, and becoming frightened at
a dog, attempted to go around the ma
chine and caught her arm in the cogs.

NEED HELP ON MILK
lAW7 EXPERTS
ADVICE AVAILABLE.

A study of the milk ordinances
of many cities, large and small,
shows great diversity Of opin-
ion among lawmakers and their
advisers as to what constitutes
a proper milk ordinance. A
great lack of uniformity among
laws, some Of which are entire
ly out of date, has been noted.
Many of them seem to be tran
scripts of ordinances in force in
other cities, placed in the mu-
nicipal series Of laws without
regard to local conditions, and
some contain provisions which
are unnecessary and unreason-
able and cannot be enforced.
Bulletin 5S5 Of the department
Of agriculture suggests a form
Of ordinance which, it is be-
lieved, will prove to be a salts
factory framework upon which
the average town or city can
build finished, practicable law
that, properly enforced, will i'm
prove the average milk supply
and work toward q desired uni
formity Of food laws.
