the late secretary of state, as he and
Mrs. Wilson propose remaining through
August in the White House; while in
certain quarters it is whispered The
president may call congress back in
extra session, if not in August, well
in advance of election day.
In the meantime, July has proved
only little less interesting than juno

several smart country clubs the scene
of continuous entertaining and smart

The secretary of war and Mrs. Baker,
the only cabinet members with a subur-
ban home, are naturally setting the
pace for summer parties with their
hospitality usually in compliment to dis
tinguished visitors or old friends. A
dinner last week was in compliment to
the governor of Porto Rico and Mrs.

CLUBDOM
Y. w. C. A. CAMPS DRAW MANY
VACATIONISTS FROM CITY.


The girls vacation camp Of the
Young Women's Christian association
at Hardy, Ark. continues to draw its
full quota Of vacationists from the heat
and CRIME of the city, to the blessed
relief of cool nights in the OZarks. Ev-
eryone who has visited the camp this
season reports that the conditions are
ideal. While there are still few re-
strictions, the girls are not bound fy
so many rules as in the past and the
food is the best to be found anywhere.
To Mrs. James S. Patteson, the girls
give the credit for the greater free
dom and thorough enjoyment of the
camp life at Hardy and are loud in
their praise Of her as the camp hostess
and chaperon.
These camps have been established
all over the country and during the
past month a girls vacation camp
was opened in CZecho- Slovakia under
auspices of the American Y. w. c. A.

built in 100, with moat drawbridge,

roasts, usually INDUCED in under the
trees here in American, will take place
around two huge fire-places in the
knights hall" which is still decorated
with armor and furnished in heavy
sized boars is said to detract somewhat
from the gentleness and femininity of
the place, but Is not expected to dull
the fun. The historic Elbe furnishes
the swimming hole and a huge garden
gives a place for all ut-door sports.
Seventy-five Czech girls are signed up
for the opening of this first girls camp
in Prague and the American diplomats
and visitors in the city are asking
that camp for American children be
started.
While the vacationists are enjoying
camp life in the mountains there are
many young business women who have
either returned or who have not yet had
their vacations and for the benefit of
these the cafeteria at the Young Wom-
ems club of the Y. w. c. A. is open
daily.
1t is estimated that in the past year
alone each Of the 225 cafeterias of the
country served from 800 to 5000 peo-
pie daily
A report Just issued at the National
headquarters of the Y. w. c. A. in New
York shows from 1915 to 1920 an in
crease of local associations in the Uni
ted States from 1914 to 1853 of centers

Are Onions and Garlic a
Sure Cure for Influenza?

Akron, O., Feb. 29.-"He will not
get the "hu" If he eats this"
This was the comment made by .
Slovak woman when she called at
the county Jail and left large pack
age for one of the prisoners. Be.
cause OF the epidemic of grip, "hu"
and hard colds among the prisoners
she was not permitted to see her i'm
pr1soned relative.
The package contained onions.
garlic and cooked meat, seasoned
with garlic.
This incident has recalled to mind
the claim that when an epidemic or
plague ragged throughout England
in the 10th century, thousands dy-
ing in every locality, the Jews as >
rule, escaped.
IT. developed that the disease was
warded off by the Jews using onions
and garlic freely.
1t is claimed that the juices Of the
onion and garlic stimulate the body
and aid digestion, enabling one to
ward off disease germs.
