AFRICA NO LONGER IS DARK:
 EASILY TR4VELED WONAN SAYS

NEW YORK, June 20-White people no longer are strangers to the Africans and travelling in the Dark Continent has lost much of it's former discomforts. reports Miss Alice O'Brien of St. Paul, Minn.
 The picture of Africa as an uH- explored wilderness is hoax" !" she said here upon returning from an eight months tour of that con- tinent. Tt was the greatest SUI prise of our trip. l don't believe there IS a black man, woman or child in the country who hasn't [ talked to white people.
 "Airplane service, railroads, au- tomobiles and filling stations stand side by side with so-called 'cannibals' and elephant trails. IL is possible to travel straight across Africa without leaving commercial transportation.
 Even on the foot trails people travel in tapoys or chairs carried by four native boys"
 Miss O'Brien's party including Benjamin Burbridge, game hunt CT: Blair Flandrau, Mrs. Grace Flandrau, authoress, and c. E. Bell, photographer, toured Africa from west to east, entering at Matadi at the mouth of the Congo river and coming out at Mombasa Their purpose was to obtain mo tion pictures and to see the coun- try.
 The greatest danger came with the overturning of a canoe in the Aruwimi river when the party at tempted to shoot the rapids. The canoe was pressed against rock by the force of the water and the occupants perched on is sids for 25 minutes until they were rescued by 50 natives.
 Influenza, which attacked them in the Congo forest, ten days from a doctor, was another danger
 "The most difficult thing, how ever," said Miss O'Brien, was to keep up our morale and spirit in the terrific heat of the Ituri for est. Throughout the whole tripl we boiled our water for 20 min. utes daily and We took five grains of quinine every day for five months"

Forest Service officials that the Chamber of Commerce raised the money for the bath house. I'm provements to the Aux Village camp sites will be added to from year to year as they are needed and the money becomes available, MT. Smith said.
 Other camping places for the public to which improvements have been added by the Forest Service, during tue last week, ln- der the direction of MT. Smith, are Lena Cove, Montana Creek the Upper Merdenhall Bridge, Mendenhall Glacier and the Eagle River Bar. At Lena Cove Lang camp stove, two tables and a registration box were put in. At the Eagle River bar they placed two camp tables, and, with the cooperation of the Boy Scouts, piped the water from the hill to the camp site, distance of 600 feet. At Montana Creek, Tn addi- ton to the cabin. which has been there for some time, registra- ton box has been placed, at the Mendenhall bridge. three camp tables and a registration box and registration box at Mendenhall Glacier.
 The registration boxes have been placed at the different sites for the purpose of determining, as nearly as possible, the number of people who use the grounds, and which are most popular, MT. Smith said The information ac- quired in this way will De used by the Forest Service as an argu- ment to secure further money fer improvements of these grounds, and it is hoped by officials of the Forest Service that the using the camp sites will cooperate by registering in the books.

FOREST SERVICE
 IMPROVES CAMP
 SITES NEAR TOWN

The improvement work, which has been done by the U. s. For est Service on camp grounds in the vicinity of Juneau, which were set aside for the use of the pub lie by the Forest Service, about seven years ago, has progressed considerably during the last week. according to Harold Smith, forest ranger, who has been in charge of the work.
 Two camp sites have been es- tablished at the Aux Village beach, one at the first bridge and one at the farther bridge, MT Smith said. At the first bridge three camp tables, Lang park stove and registration box have been placed, and at the second bridge, six tables, a registration box and garbage container have been put in during the last week in addition to the concrete stove trails, and other Improvements made previous to this time. The approximate cost to the Forest Service for these improvements was $350.
 In addition to these improve
 ments, the bath house, for whicf
 lumber was purchased by the Ju neau Chamber of Commerce, and labor donated by the l.. F. Morri, | Construction company, is wei under way. Until this year nc attempt was made by the Pores Service to interest the public Il

SCOUTS HAVE BANNER CAMP
 THIS SEASON
Redlingshafer Tells Lions of Two-Week Outing
 on Eagle River Bar

Tuesday ended the most sue- cessful encampment the Juneau Boy Scouts have ever had, H. l.. Redlingshafer, Scoutmaster of Troop No. told the Lions Club today at the weekly meeting in the Forget -Me-Not Tea Room.
 A number of improvements about the camp site and added advantages of this years camp were named by MT Redling- shafer. Chief among these was the laying of 6SO feet of pipe, buried from one to four feet deep and with a drop of 40 feet, which enables the cook to have running water at all times. A full barrel of water is kept handy in case of fire.
 "The cook was not the can opener kind" Mir Redlingshafer declared. Most of the canned goods we took out at the begin ming of camp were brought back yesterday, for the cook was ex- cellent and was able to give the boys almost anything they de- sired
 Equipment Improved
 Living quarters at Eagle Riy- CT were better than ever before. Each boy had his own cot, plen- ty of blankets, and full length bed net to keep off mosquitoes. Plenty of tent space was anothe. matter of no little importance.
 People in town also helped Us a great deal. Many brought out supplies from time to time and were responsible for a number of treats s. Hellenthal placed his boat and outboard motor at our disposal, and with this we haul ed practically all our supplies and moved everything to the Eagle River Landing at the con clusion of the encampment. We made a trip to Sentinel Island lighthouse and were shown throughout the station.
 Learn to Swim
 "The boys had an excellent opportunity to learn how to swim, and many took advantage of this. Several swimming tests were passed among the long list of scouting work completed. Marksmanship tests were given too, and several of the Scouts made fine scores"
 E. P. Pond made a short talk to the Lions on his recent trip to Skagway and the White Pass, and told of several interesting occurrences on his journey. J. E. Johnson, City Tax Assessor, was a guest of the Lions.

WASHINGTON, June 20-Nation. wide researcnes by the United States Children's Bureau have convinced government experts that nearly one-third of the chil- dren ill the country are under nourished. They also point to parental ignorance or lack of con trol over children as the under lying cause of malnutrition.
 Although 1t is impossible to fix the exact number of such cases. the bureau reports a number of typical investigations are avail able, and says it is probably safe to conclude that from one-fourth to one-third of the children in the United States are definitely malnourished, and that the mum Der of children of really superior nutrition is. small.
 Of New York eity's million chil- dren, the report continues, more than 215,000 were found to be dis tinctly below the normal or safe level, and the results of numer- ous studies made in different parts of the country since 1918 show similar and even more seri- ous situations. In rural Kentucky, for example, 40 percent of the children were classed by the ex- amining physician as poor and 35 percent as only fair.
 Malnutrition n5t only causes "stunted growth, anemia, nervous instability, and diminished energy but increased susceptibility to dis ease and lack of resistanct to it." the report states. A large proportion of mortality among children, the report adds, lis due directly or indirectly to faulty nu- triton. Scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles, pneumonia, tuberculosis and intestinal diseases claim most of their victims from those who are too poorly nourished to resist them.
 "The relation between malnutri- tion and tuberculosis needs spe- cial emphasis. Tuberculosis may be an active cause of malnutrition but malnourished body is the best soil for tuberculosis"
 The most common cause of mal- nutrition found by the bureau is an insufficient supply of the prop CT protein and mineral supplying foods, such as vegetables. fruits, whole cereals, eggs and milk. IT, regular or too hurried meals, in- sufficient rest or exercise, ade- holds, and unhealthy teeth or ton sils are other contributing factors.
 But the underlying cause of all these, the report concludes, is parental ignorance or lack of con trol over the children.
 Many children are improperly fed" the report states, because their parents do not know what are the proper foods for children nor how to spend their money to get the best return in food values; because they do not know that children should have regular, unhurrfed meals-including espe- cially good breakfast, and be- cause they do not know that the habit of drinking tea and coffee and the habit of eating indiscrim- inately between meals are worse for children than for adults.
 "The problem of malnutrition in children will not be solved un-
