the request of Surgeon General Rupert
Blue of the U. S. Public Health Serv-
ice, has agreed to provide supple

The arrangement is primarily in the
interest of discharged soldiers, sailors

Water Damage to Flour.

1t is a well-known fact among sail
ors that flour will not only float after
immersion in sea water, but suffers
very little damage. To ascertain the
actual damage, says the Northwestern
Miller, a baker in New South Wales
submerged a bag Of flour in the ocean
and left it in the water 81 hours. A
9S-pound weight was necessary to sink
a 15O-pound bag, which would have
supported rs pounds on top of the wa
ter, it is estimated, or half its own
weight. When lifted and weighed the
bag scaled 155 pounds. 1t was dried
for four days and yielded 100 pounds
Of perfectly dry flour, the bag and
waste weighing % pounds. Baked into
bread, it gave perfect results.

CAMPS FOR GIRLS
Being Developed tY Y. w. c. A. in
Vermont. First Camp at st.
Albans Bay

The idea of having small camps,
for the girls of certain county or dis
trict, is one on which much of the
camp planning of the Y w. G.. A. in
Vermont is to be built. This week
saw the very first of these Y. w. C.
A. centers opened at St. Albans Bay,
with Miss Grace Brooks of St. AL
bans as director. Twelve girls are
there from five or six small towns of
Franklin county, girls to whom big
ger and more distant camps are alb
solutely inaccessible, and girls to
whom a vacation is a very real and
new experience. They call their lit
tie colony "Camp Worth While" and
the days schedule looks as though
it were well named. The day begins
at 7.15 with personal inspection and
flag raising; breakfast is at 7.30; this
is followed in due time by tent in
spection and classes; then comes
recreation and swimming; dinner at
1900; rest from 1 to 200; recreation

The state recreation leader, Miss
Edith Inskeep, is spending some time
at this camp, and classes are conduct
ed by leaders from St. Albans, in
struction being given in first aid, die
tetics, canning, hygiene, etc. Practi-
cally none of the girls are from towns
located directly on the railroad. and
the opportunity for two or three
weeks camp life with other girls the
same age, is one that the girls are

delighted with. Each girl pays a

attract girls who could not otherwise

must be cared for in some other way
