who take to the forest today for their
first actual conservation work. are the
only men in camp who ever have had
any experience in the woods,
Almost all of the others are in the
forests for the first time and most of
them have not yet actually delved into
woodland lore. They have been too
busy building camp. Now that they
are to be sent into the timber stands
to start President Roosevelt's conserva-

Decision to send them into the woods

its commander, Capt. Leo Donovan, as
signed to this duty from Fort Wash
ington.
Slice to Direct Work
Work on the forestry projects is to
be under the direction of w. c. Slee of
Washington. who arrived in camp to-
day to take charge of the Districts
contingent of tenderfeet.
These would-be woodSmen represent.
altogether. a cross-section Of American
life. There are college men and labor
erS, construction engineers and butchers.
office managers and blacksmiths, skilled
professional workers and truck drivers.
painters and mechanics, upholsterers
and electricians, Stenographers and sheet
metal workers, clerks and cooks.
To them the sudden back to the
land" movement is strange. They are
awed by the swift transition and a lit
tie afraid of the eerie stiffness Of the
woods at night.
Somebody Cries Wolf"
A group was lying around in
tent on one of the first nights, when
suddenly the quiet darkness was
ahou-u-u-u!"
Say, did you hear that?" whispered
one boy still in his teens.
What was it?" another asked, his
voice trembling.
Wolves" responded a third voice,
older and more authoritative.
Quickly the word was spread around
that VOLTS cry had been heard. The
corpsmen gathered in excited groups
and passed the word from tent to tent.
In few moments the whole camp had
been aroused and the story had grown
by such leaps and bounds of imaglna-
ton. that by the time it got back to its
source, band of wolves was supposed
to be lurking ominously outside the
camp. ready to attack.
No opposing force could be mustered
for the kill, however and the mystery
of the cry remained unsolved.
At night the lure for the city and
bright lights is the strongest Huddled
around camphres. or lying around in
their tents, the men talk about home
and city life. yearning to be back.
Many of the sturdiest even walk 10
miles to the little town of Edinburg, just
to see electric lights. One youngster
has made the long trek over the Massa-
nutten Mountains every night since he
arrived at camp.
He met a girl in Edinburg the first
night and has been going regular

ever since. Capt Leo Donovan, camp
commander noticed him on the road
coming back to camp two nights straight
at about midnight, then the boy told
him Of making the 20-mile jaunt every
night.
Well" observed the officer. II don't
But want it understood right now, that
I expect you to be on the job every
morning on time and to do a days
work."
81 Can Take It."
yes, sir, captain. I haven't missed
a morning yet and work hard all day"
the youth replied, then added as an
afterthought:
Il can take it, can't I, captain?"
You sure can," agreed Donovan.
Anybody that can work all day swing
ing pick, then spend the night see
ing a girl, can take it plenty"
To many Of these ex-city youths,
however, the woods hold fascination
beyond anything they have ever expert
enced. AS one New York boy. who
ioined the conservation army in Wash
ington after tramping Capital streets
in a vain search for work, expressed 1t:
Gee, amt these trees wonderful. I
have never saw so many OF them I'm
my life before Where I was raised in
N'Yawk they don't have trees like this.
Oh, boy! Am I glad to be here? Ill
say I am"
Another city-bred boy, who has spent
most OF his later years as seaman
on tramp steamers between New York
Evening star., 1933-05-02

and Alexandria. Egypt, was glad to be
overawed by the mountains towering
above the camp.
"Shucks," said he, "they can't COM
pare with the Alps"
He had seen the Alps from his ship,
he explained. but had never been in
the mountains. In the brief years since
he had left school he had touched at
virtually every trading port in Europe
and Africa and delighted in spinning
yarns about his worldly experiences.
A 2l-year-old washington youth,
who said he was a printer. also re-
fused to be awed by the beauty Of the
Massanuttens.
Once I got stranded in the Rockies
when l was bumming across to Cali
fornia. Four days l spent In them

these here are just ant-hills."
The youth then launched into the
story of his experiences In searching
for work after Washington printing

gan, 'and haven't had q steady job

|RKS STEEL MEN
Analysts Say Cost Per Tor
Raised-Price Maximum
Set by Eastman.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. October 6.-While Off
cials OF the big steel producing COM
panies declined to comment. it was
current In usually well informed circles
today that great dissatisfaction prevails
over the S35-a-ton limit set by Joseph
B. Eastman, Federal co-ordinator, OF
transportation, in calling for bids on
900 tons Of steel rails.
Steel analysts insist the cost of rails
ip 1882 ranged from s35 to s37 a ton
aec point out that since then more
exacting specifications and N. r. A.
provisions have increased the burden.
Before the World War rails sold for
many years at $28 ton, but increased
costs during the war saw the price
shoot up to $97 ton before it declined
to SAB in 1923. Late in that year the
price declined to $40, at which level it
has been maintained since. So far as
could be learned the steel men will en-
deavor to maintain that price.
The railroads consented to the sub
stantial purchase of rails at this time
provided the price was reduced and the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
would loan funds to pay for them at a
low rate Of interest.
It was in furtherance Of this agree
ment that Eastman called for the bids
for 100000 tons Of rails and necessary
accessories and stipulated the price Of
$35. The co-ordinator's letter said II
there were those inclined to challenge
this figure, the Government should be
allowed to send its accountants to look
over the books Of the producer in order
to ascertain the facts concerning costs

Democrats have accused of not giving
sufficient weight to their recommenda-

Pittman was reported to have written
President Roosevelt recently suggesting
that it was necessary for Democratic
stalwarts to get Republican inderse-
ments for their job candidates.
Addressing an American Federation
of Labor banquet last night, with the
two cabinet officers present, Pittman
said:
with Congress out Of session, We
haven't anything to do but write back
to our constituents, thoSe good Demo-
Gratis, not what kind of Jobs We can get
them, but to tell them that we can't get

even this is not acceptable to the
workers.
