.** $3.50 s**"+ So

eve are here, and we are hav-
ing a wonderful time. We arrived
last Thursday about 6:30 p. m.
and after being assigned to our
rooms, we began preparations for
supper. Everyone did justice to
the meal, as all were too excited
to eat much dinner. We were all
so tired that we decided to go
right to bed, and leave the work
of initiating the new members un-
til the next night.
! Friday morning we discovered
six large yachts down at the dock.
1t was very interesting watching
the men catch the large tarpon
which are so bountiful in these
waters. Some of the girls tried
their luck, and caught quite a
number of smaller fish. Friday
night we gathered in a group down
on the dock, and played the ukes
and sang camp songs.
Saturday night all the new
members gathered in one room and
all the old ones in the next. Each
was waiting for the other to go to
sleep first. Finally the new girls
went to sleep then the others did
the dirty work. Shoe polish, ink,
or anything that could be used.
Ny what lot of beauties they
were lying all around with black
beauty spots on their faces, arms
and legs.
Sunday morning, we were or
dered not to forget the day. So all
was peace and quiet. Church was
held morning and evening by Mrs,
McInnis and Mrs. Sawyer.
Monday night big party was
held in. the dining room. A sing
ing contest was held, not for the
best singing but the loudest. Mrs.
Sawyer's table won so each was
required to. do stunt. We play
ed different games and danced the
Virginia Reel until a late hour.
Delicious refreshments were serv-
ed.
Tuesday five of the girls play
led hockey and walked the railroad
track up to Channel Hive. When
they returned, the officers held
court and sentenced them to two
days of hard labor in the kitchen.
Another big party is planned
for tonight in honor of six of the
girls who are leaving camp to at
tend summer schools.
zone of the most important
events of the day is the roll call
at breakfast. Each one has been
given a nickname. They are as
follows:
Thelma 0lsen--Rope Head.
Louise Jerman-Saukee.
Mary Lewis--Red Hot.
Lillian Russell-Lu-lumis.

prices surgcd upward today On heavy
buying accounts. Expansion of pub
lie interest was Indicated BY the
broadening demand for stocks, which
sent over three score issues up ono to

in number Of spccialtics. Bear

the advance except in the food and

confidence in the future Of business
by operators working on the side Of

German soeial-democratts and trade
union bureaucrats became the most
obedient and faithful servants of the
entente. Instead of putting their hopes
on the international proletariat and
doing everything towards bringing
about, with their help, the abrogation
of the Versailles peace and of the
burden Of reparations connected with
1t, they become the most ardent sup
porters of reparations and OF the
Dawes plan, sabotaging thereby the
struggle of the international proleta-
riat against the enslavement of the
German workers. The action OF the
British proletariat against the Dawes
plan is neutralized by the fact that
the German trade unions have their
blessing to this plan, considering 1t
the last word in political wisdom.
