 Camp Roosevelt, Near Luray, Va, --Many a mothers son who march es into the wilderness with the re- fofestation army won't be recogniz- able when he getes back home.
 Pine-scented mountain air, tam fing suns and regular hours have Worked their magic on cheeks sfrown sallow in city tenements and muscles weakened by long likeness.
 sHere is a glimpse of the routine which we follow in Camp No l. uhofficially Camp Roosevelt - of the Civilian Conservation corps:
 At 5:30 a. m., the reveille. The men rush to q creek for a wash. At e o'clock, breakfast. Sausages. pbtatoes, scrambled eggs, stewed prunes. apricots. coffee, all have had their part in starting the day off right.
 < sAfter q short rest, the shrill Whistles of the army regulars in charge call us to work. The work consists of clearing the area of stumps, trees, underbrush, debris, rocks. The ground then is cov- cred with heavy coating of shale rock hauled from a nearby hill- side and tamped down by the men with sledges. Carpenters - all members of the camps personnel -Aare busy from morning until night. They are erecting mess halls, kitchen buildings, a recrea- ton hall and supply store.
 Many of the men have no par i ticular calling. and are used for general work about the camp, car rying lumber. loading trucks, dis tributing shale, and policing the camp grounds. None are idle, ex- cept the few who may be i'll, and all are ready for the chow line. Rest, Then Mess Kits
 Good Chow and Lots of It
 At 11:30 the whistle blows for rest. At 12 we are served a large hot meal. Food is wholesome and plentiful. The cooks include an army sergeant in charge of sup plies. a regular army cook, and stu dent cooks from the camps per- sonnel. Tho cook shack contains heavy iron stoves over which the cooks start laboring at 3 o'clock each morning, remaining there un-, til late at night. They work in shifts of one day on and one day # Staple food is served hot as we file past in line. holding our mess kits and coffee cups. Another building houses tables and bench-

Night-fall Brings Thoughts
 Of Home-And Lusty Songs.
 Night fall and the long twilight are the most difficult times of the day for the men to be occupied. Sadness creeps into the eyes and hearts of the men, isolated, work ing and hoping that their families are we'll fed and cared for.

Hundreds Fail
 in Beer Permits
tContiuued from Page ll

(GOnLluueQ ISOm rugs closed yesterday afternoon only 4S such records had been filed in the entire state. There was a rush this morning, to comply with the regu- lation.
 Breweries had plenty of beer on hand, but because of the delay in the obtaining of permits, deliveries were tagging, and the rush of business was not up to expectations. It was believed 1t would be another week before the distribution and sale of beer was. on Q smoothly functioning basis.
 There were no public celebra- tions. The day itself was cold and wet, and not one calculated to ex- cite a beer thirst. Also, the interest in the return of legal beer, widely manifest in April, when many states returned to the beverage standard. gradually dimmed in Connecticut while the legislature debated plans for its control. Any one who really wanted to sample the new S.2 brew had it brought in from over the New York line, or tried 1t in his favorite speakeasy. The liquor commission offices in the state capitol were busy today rushing out additional permits to the 10000 who have applied. More
 than 1000 applications have been returned because of the failure of
 the applicant to fill them out prop
 erly. The commission also worked
 late last night. trying to catch up
 with the work that has piled in on
 it since it was organised last week.
 One large chain store late last
 nigth managed to obtain more than
 200 permits for as many stores in
 the southern part of the state. The
 stores expected to have the beer on
 sale by noon today.
 The $l.00O bond, required of all
 permittees, was causing consider able trouble for some would-be re-
 tailers of beer. Because of the strictness of the control law, the
 bonding companies are demanding exceptionally good collateral to se- cure the bonds.
 The return of beer brought with it flood of advertising for the newspapers of the state. Brewers of the state vied with distributors of foreign" beverages for the cus- toners favor. No prices were quoted, however. and many retail CTS were uncertain what price would be charged. Indications were the prices in package stores would run from $2.40 to $3.50 a> case. Bottled beer in taverns, cafes, ho- tels and restaurants probably would go at from IS cents a bottle up. Draught beer in taverns will be 10 cents glass.

creased operating time to handle additional orders.

Binghamton. N. Y.. May 10 - (UP)-Full time work flor the better part of the summer" has been assured for 14,000 employees because of a flood of orders, o!n- cials of the Endicott Johnson Shoe Corporation announced t"- day.
 The announcement said that ca.- pacity production was assured for all the company's factories.
 The large increase in orders was attributed to the expectation or rising prices.
 Philadelphia, May 1o-(UFl The Biberman Brothers Inc, dress manufacturers, today announced 5 per cent increase in the pay or 500 employees, effective immedia- tely,

to send his men to Fort Hunt along with the others.
 Foulkrod has been disowned by the Iiason committed. He in turn denounced the latter group as "communistic.p Others charged that the march was of communist origin, Q factor viewed with ap- prehension by those in charge of quartering the veterans. Last year the bonus expeditionary force on numerous occasions beat and forcibly elected those suspected or being Reds"
 By selecting Fort Hunt as the camp site, the government hoped to preclude any dangerous mass gatherings in the Capital.
