DEFENSE TEST DAY

In statement issued from the
headquarters of the Daughters of the
Amerieam Revolution, Washington,
Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, The Pre-
sident- General says: Defense Test
Day" is to the government what !
Sire Drill" is to public school sys-
tenn. No one would think Of ques-
tioning the latter as one of the
greatest safety measures introduced
within modern times. A clear think
ing Individual can scarcely fail to
look upon Defense Test Day" as a
similar safeguard. That it should
be construed as a menace and as a
military bugabpo by those who are
opposed to war under any and all
Conditions is not to be wondered al
ANY such forward looking step as
this wiz undoubtedly bring into the
open both its advocates and its enc
mics which is ID itself Of no neon
siderable virtue.
Surely il the World War taught US
anything, it brought home to even the
most peaee-loving and internationally
minded enc Of as, the terrible sac
rifiee that the young men of Ameri-
ia paid III blood upon tbe fields ~

France and Belgiam, because As g

Foolish indeed, is the nation 81 the

struetive way il going to check up

upon itself to see wherein it has

defense Of its national honor. That
no cloud or disaster threatens upoa

il which to do SO.
Firmly believing that this day :
to be Of benefit to the nation and to
its citizens, men and women equally
alike, it has seemed to me to be my
solemn duty as the President General
of the largest patriotic body Of wo-
men in America, to urge upon all
s4ate Regents, the desirability Of
having every Daughter Of the A.

the spirit and the letter Of Defense

TOURIST CAMP PROBLEM
GROWS


CHARLESTON West Virginia,
August Roadside camping Of au-
tomobile tourists is creating a health
problem of such magnitude that the
state health authorities and state
road commission are jointly planning
to provide standardized camps for
tourists in West Virginia, and bill
to that effect will probably be intro
duced in the next Legislature.
Promiscuous disposal Of body
wastes, garbage and debris, with the
resultant dangers Of typhoid feve
said to affect both the countryside
dweller and the tourist The pro-
Bile mis- not only confronting West
Virginia but other states, and was
made an important feature of dis
cussion at two recent national con-
ferences; one Of state health officers,
held in Chicago, the other of sanitary
engineers, held in Cincinnati.
"The rapidity with which roads
are being opened, creates situation
that will demand the joint attention
of tourists clubs, civic clubs, munich
pal and state organizations, the pro-
blem being zen mdre serious in
West Virginia than in states that
have had good roads and camp sites
for sometime" says State Health
Commissioner Henshaw
However, we have the advantage
Of their experience, and should lose
no time in establishing public camps,
not neglecting to provide for the fea
lures which will give full health pro-
lection to all concerned
"A pamphlet on the subject has
been printed and distributed by the
Stale Agricultural Extension Divis-
ION through cooperation with tie
State Department Of Health. Som
Il Of the salient points given regarding
camps are The site should be
/ healthful ard well drained The wa

THE kU KLUX KHAN
(By Rev. Castor r .Coynerl

10y hSN. 1aSUofl IL. .COyneft
This article is written by one who
firmly believes that the organization
known as the Ku Klux Khan or the
Knights of the Invisible Empire, is
oneone of the greatest menaces our
nation has. Il is not founded on
Christian principles, and therefore
no Christian has right to join +,
But some will tell you that they do
have Christian principles for they
claim to follow the Bible. Claiming
and doing are two entirely different
things. Gods Word teaches us that
not everey one that saith Lord, Lord,
shall enter into the Kingdom OF
Heaven, but he that doeth the wit
Of our Father which is Ia Heaven.
The Ku Klux Khan Is worldly or
ganizaton pure and simple and has
no right to set itself on basis with
the Church. Klansmen will tell yop
chat the obligation we take when we
