July 27.-After witnessing several

mander, had the 1900 boys attending

assembled Tuesday morning and
told them why the government
maintained these camps for from 30
to 40 thousand boys throughout the
United States.
YOU" said General LaSSiter to
the boys, 'arc to carry on our gov
ernncnt and everything depends
upon what you are like when the
time comes to carry on. The major
part OF your training must of course
come in the homes, the churches
and the schools, but in your month
here, the government has three
things to develop.
The result of your physical train
ing are amazing and make you bet
ter fitted for life's battles.
The discipline you receive is
necessary. You learn to be pune
tual, to be exact in the performance
OF duties and you learn to work with
others so as to avoid confusion in
our social life. You learn to obey
and you learn to command
The thing we teach in this in
vestment in citizenship is defense of
your country if necessary. We hope
you will never have to meet an
emergency. but every nation must
be prepared in this troubled world.
II is tremendous asset to the ma
ton to be ready.
Il trust that your parents and
relatives will come here TO this
camp and see what is being done.
We want them to come and TO know.
50 that they will understand what
the camp means to you. to them, to
the country"

Trip to Noon Better
BE Made While 1t Is
Near the Earth

Persons wishing to visit the moor
would do well to start now while
the trip is comparatively short
Only 45 days of travelling in an air
plane speeding at 200 miles an hour
would be required for the Journey
now but every hundred thousand
years the moon and earth grow far.
ther apart and ultimately, when they
will travel at the same rate OF speed
days and nights will be three OF
four ordinary days long.
These unusual conclusions are
among the many new facts that have
been placed at the disposal Of
science by Professor William H
Pickering, noted astronomer of the
Harvard, the Arequipa. Peru, and
Jamaica Observatories and simpli-
fled into a lunar guide book in the
American Magazine. 81
The atmosphere on the moon,
says Professor Pickering, telling how
it would feel to be living on the
neighboring planet, lis so thin that
an imaginary man, transported
there, would find himself in a world
of silence. If mountain should
tumble he could not hear the crash
because there is not enough air 10
convey audible sound waves. The
force of gravity is SO light that a
man weighing 1870 pounds on earth
would weigh but 80 pounds on the
moon.
"Thc lunar traveller would also be
surprised by the appearance of the
sky from the moon. Even at noon
day he would see the stars more
clearly than we see them at mid
night from the earth. The sun would
glow as a great spot of light in Q
dark sky and the earth would ap-
pear as an enormous moon.
THE line between light and dark
ness on the moon is sharply marked.
From the blackncSS of night TO the
full glare of MONDAY is but the turn
of a second. Shadowed places are
like bOttOmlcSS pits and only where
the direct rays of light fall is there
any possibility of seeing. Nearly
the whole surface of the moon is a
dercst, but ! am convinced there is
plant life there Also, certain NOV
ing black spots may be enormous
herds of animals, though this is dan
gcrouS to state"
Another interesting comment of
Professor Pickering is that were il
not for the cOSmic catastrophe that
made the moon from the earth, hu-
mans might be whales or fishes to-
day. When the moon was torn off
of the carth'S crust and went whirl-
ing through space, the mutual force
cxcrtcd by the two bodies caused de-
prcSSions which became oceans and
confined the waters resulting from
evaporation which otherwise would
be spread all over the carth's sur
| face.
The tides, which are influenced
directly by the moon, says Proffes-
Sor Pickering, act as a brake on the
rotation of the earth with a force
of twenty thousand million horse
power.
