when baby grows up, he will take to

T.B. SKIN TEST
 HAS LIMITATIONS
That Is Consensus Of Opinion
 Among Doctors

Mantle, Dec. 19.--At a conference of the physicians of the state tuber- culosis sanatoria, held today at the Seaside. the state sanatorium for children suffering from bone and glan- dular tuberculosis, there was a spirit cd discussion of the value of the skin test for tuberculosis known as the Von Pirquet reaction and named after it's discoverer, the eminent scientist who has just finished the silliman course of lectures at Yale.
 The superintendent of the Seaside, pr, John F. O'Brien, reported the re- suit Of the test on children at the in stitution and showed eight cases which, according to the symptoms and X-ray findings. were tuberculosis but which, according to the Von Pirquet test, were not tuberculous.
 It seemed to be the opinion of a majority of the doctors present that while the test was very valuable, its reliability had very distinct linlita- lions
 pr. O'Brien. however, expressed himself of the opinion that, in some of the cases, the negative Von Pirquet test expressed the truth relative to the patients condition in spite of the K ray findings and clinical history.
 Another paper by Dr. O'Brien re lated to the new Waica test which hitherto had not been tried on cases of bone tuberculosis. The results, however, as reported by pr. OBrien, were very similar to those found in cases of lung tuberculosis.
 The visiting physicians were fasci- mated at the sight of the naked, brown children playing joyfully on the beach, almost within reach of the angry win ter waves that rolled in from the At lantic.

TRAINING CAMPS
 WELL ATTENDED
Youth and Enthusiasm Stand
 Out Well Is Report

New York, Dec. 1e.-The National Executive Committee of the Military Training Camps Association of the United States in reporting on the sue cess this year of the Citizens Train ing Camps says that youth and en- thusiasm stood out prominently In all camps and that the spirit of the camps was excellent. One striking feature was the whole hearted way in which the army had taken up these camps and was determined to make them succeed, the report adds.
 The boys attending averaged lit- tie under IS.
 Showing the spirit of national serv- ice is still possible in peace time pro vided you begin with men while they are still young enough,' says the re- port.
 Athletics and recreation varied with each camp but uniform satisfac- ton cannot be reported. All the camps had both athletic and morale officers. In none could a failure be reported but the local conditions and training schedules made this matter to be considered separately. All the camps had canteens and service clubs.
 Discipline varied according to the camps. Instruction and training var jed markedly in the different camps. The war department had tried to get the best personnel they could, but the known qualified instructors were sim ply not to be had in sufficient num- bers. The Professors of Military Science and Tactics at the colleges were uniformly excellent. All the camps had large numbers of young officers, the great majority being ex- cellent but very few of them having practical teaching experience.
 'No radical wrong. not any serious complaint was found in any of the camps and as a whole they were noted for the extraordinary lack of serious complaints
 The report contiues: we take pleasure In quoting the following pert tnent remarks about these camps made by General Pershing, as pub lished in the Army Recruiting News
 Tn two respects General Persh- ing said, the Citizens Military Train ing Camps serve as foundation for our military policy thoroughly con- sistent with Americas national tra- ditions.'
 First, they are -militaristic , he added, and second, they are demo- cratic to the core.
 " It is no longer to be doubted that with world conditions as they are, preparations for war, as Lincoln said, is insurance for peace.
 To train a man to defend his conO4ry is no more developing a mill tArist of him than 1t is making a pugilist of a boy to teach him how to use his fists in self-defense.
 That, we can quickly dispose of. What do want to impress, however, Is the value to democracy of these camps and the army we hope to build up through them. We have never had a military autocracy in this country, thank God, and we never will.
 The man who attends, learns that all men are actually on an equality, and that the rich mans son and the poor mans son alike owes an obli- gation to the Government"
