BOYS GET FIVE
HONOR M ED AIS
AT KANSAS CAMP

Five medals were brought home
from Camp Fernand, Kan, by boys
who have spent the last three

pervisicn of La Velle F. Hicks, for
merly boys secretary at the local
Y. NJ. C. A

He was assisted by Toland.
The camp was attended by more
than three hundred boys who were
given recreation by Mr.. Hicks for
the three months. Entertainments
were given at various times by the
boys and the proceeds used to de-
fray the expenses of the camp.
The boys lived similar to soldiers
in training camps and had regular
duties TO perform each day. Hours
were arranged each day for games
and recreation.

When one says sIbrts clothes
nowadays one does not always
mean clothes for the golf links
and the tennis courts. In
deed, one may mean something
quite different Every design
er seems to have her own
idea of just what correct sports
clothes are and seldom do these
coincide. Some call light colored
silk crepe tailored suits and
frocks sports apparel. Others
call heavy, knockabout, tweeds and
jerseys the correct sports outfit.
All of these, of course, are right.
Here, for instance, is the Pari-
sian idea of sports suit 1t is
safe guess, however, that it will
more often grace the matinee or
afternoon tea than it will any
sporting event The coat is made
on Russian blouse lines with sill
yer buttons at the fastening in the
front. The material is orange du-
vetyn hand-em broidered in orange
stripes at intervals Of about eight
inches. The collar and cuffs on the
Jacket are made of the same ma
teriaI as the skirt. The effect Is
very striking and much too lovely
for a mere sports outfit.

He has repeatedly declared his love

Can you advise me? ANIL
/ think you are placing too much
importance on the fact that your
fiance smokes. The habit will never
do him any good, but if it does not
hurt him any more than II does
most men, you have no cause to

To insist upon his giving up
something which gives him so much
pleasure would be Infringing on
his personal rights, it seems to me.
Judge his will power in othcrsways
as well as by the fact that he says
it is impossible to give up smoking.
If he is weak-willed in many re-
spects, you certainly have cause to
worry.

After a week of hard study and
work in scoutcraft and outdoor
life, interspersed with games,
sports and scout meetings, troop

Starved Rock, camp was pitched
and a Sunday evening bible school
held. The boys were up for reveille
! at o'clock the next morning and
explored the park. By means of
ropes, some of the high lodges were
scaled, furnishing much interest to
park visitors who followed the boys
from canyon to canyon. During
the afternoon rain a short study
period was. held. Football, swim
ming and hike across the Illinois
river to Utica, ended the day.
All tenderfeet and second class
tests were renewed on Tuesday
with an hours drill. In the after
noon the Foxes defeated the Eagles
in game of baseball, to 5.
A hike was taken to Deer Park.
Thursday was washday
One of the features of the scouts
outing was the joint meeting with
a girls Campfire circle. The meet
ing was held around the troops
campfire. The boys and the girls
participated in singing, readings,
ceremonies and yells.. At the con-
clusion, a flashlight picture was
taken of the group around the fire.
Camp was broken Friday after
noon after the boys had drilled.
The truck was loaded and the night
spent near Princeton. The balance
of the journey was made Saturday.
The numerous visitors and camp
ers at the park were very interested
in the various scout formations
such as reveille, devotionaIs and
retreat. Each evening the scouts
would take a swim, hold a camp
fire meeting, tell stories with yelIs
and war dances.

mustache for the part of D'Artag-

a false one and non-skid blue he
grew his own. 1t is really quite
becoming 10 him and it seems a
shame that he must shave it of
right away for his next picture. He
will make THE Virginian@ next
and so his carefully cultivated and
most becoming harisute adornment
must be sacrificed for art just as
it was grown for the same purpose.
