admiration for the President, said
that at the time of nomination he
did not believe the Chief Execu-

MUSSEL FARMS
UNDERSTUDY

The Bureau of Fisheries is COM
ing to the aid of the pearl button
industry through establishment of
mussel FARMS" from which it is
hoped to learn how mussel shells
may be produced commercially.
The natural supply is being de-
stroyed rapidly by erosion and
pollution in the rivers, and as the
pearl button industry requires
$5,0O0,00O worth of mussels an
nually, the need for a constant
supply is obvious.
The experimental farms" at
Fort Worth make it possible to
rear various species of mussels
under a wide range of conditions
as respects food, water tempera-
lures, mussel bed composition, etc.

B, E, F. LEADERS
ATFORT HUNT
MAP PLANS
Military Terms Avoided in
Khaki City of Vets; Rain
Lowers Morale

Huddled in a rain-drenched
Army tent, their feet resting on
fragments of board to escape the
mud and ooze which served as
floor, leaders of the Veterans
Rank and File Convention last
night laid plans for handling
5000 Bonus Army campers at
Fort Hunt.
Already 619 veterans subscrib-
ing to the Rank and Files three
point program had presented
their credentials, while 1000 more
were expected during the night.
Twenty company streets, each
with 40 tents with a total capa-
city of 320 men face the parade
ground. Running water supplies
wash stands and drinking foun-
tains at the head OF each street.
Electric lights illuminate every
tent.
Meeting Tent
On the parade ground a giant
"chaplain's tent" offers a meet
ing place under cover for the
entire encampment, while down
at the Potomac's edge, Scant
quarter of a mile way, carpenters
have thrown up bathhouse with
100 showers. A fire department,
furnished by the District, fully
equipped hospital, and mess
shack complete the physical
equipment.
Only the weather was unfavor-
able for an auspiciouS opening OF
the convention today.
All day yesterday drenching
show soaked the ground,
trickled down sides of tents, and
formed pools through which the
men sloshed in tattered shoes
from tent to tent. The chilly air
ate its way through flesh as well
as clothing, reducing courage to
detected indifference. A sorry
camp.
Military Avoided
Military terms will be avoided
in conducting the encampment,
according to Maurice E. Miller, of
Chicago, one of the leaders. The
company streets are called ave
nueS." Officers have no rank
other than leaders" and "com-
mitteemen."
Each tent will have eight dele
gates. These will elect a tent
leader" who will in turn elect
controlling committee" of five.
Controlling committees will elect
chairmen and these will comprise
the Liaison Committee, or brains
of the organization.
A bugle blowing first CALI will
rouse the camp each day at $50.
Breakfast comes at 7, dinner at
noon, supper at 6, and lights out"
at II. During the day the men
are entirely free to do as they
wish, enjoying free transportation
to Washington in Army trucks.
Camp Police
Camp discipline is enforced en-
tirely by safety committee made
up of one man from each tent
whose identity is revealed by a
blue and white armband display
ing the letters IS. c." Camp po-
lice carry no weapons, campers
being placed on their honor to
obey all rules.
Foot trouble promises to be the
most common malady reported in
camp, with three men requiring
treatment yesterday for blistered
and infected feet so swollen they
had to be carried on cots to the
hospital. Many others walked
about in stocking feet or worm
out rubberS.
