This account gives a general idea Of
the regular work day at the camp. In
struction and practice continue inten-
sively even on Sunday. although all
gather for religious exercises Sunday
evening in lieu of the usual conference.
Every one of the 10 days of school Is
crowded
An older person might naturally ex-

under-rate the energy and resiliency
of these young people, who not only
introduce songs and college yells into
supper time, but usually wind up with
a walk of couple of miles or so after
the last meeting is dismissed.
EAVORITE Of all the social stunts is
the water pageant. which calls for
many improvised costumes, some Of
them with startling effects. The spec
tacle this year was entitled "Neptune's
Realm" 1t opened after dark with the
arrival of Neptune, his wife and court,
on a barge. Then followed program
illustrating many forms of water work,
given in spectacle form. The evening
closed with a display of fireworks.
At $50 daily except for pageant
night, taps sound. Except for the
chorus Of frogs down by the water, the
camp is silent. AS we said before, the
discipline is self-enforced. The stu
dents are here to learn. They want
to sleep long so as to be fresh for the
next days work, and this means they
must let others sleep. So in the sud-
den quiet one senses the seriousness
and earnestness that represents the
essential spirit of the Red Cross Aqua
tic School wherever found.

where the United States Army Air
Corps has established recently medi-
cal laboratory these are now being
used to study the physiological effects
of flying.
For instance, rabbits are taken and
placed in sealed containers. Then,
into this chamber is pumped carbon
monoxide gas in varying quantities.
When the rabbit has been subjected
to the desired amount of this poison
gas it is removed from the container
and a sample Of its blood taken. The
idea is to learn just how much carbon
monoxide the blood can absorb before
knocking out the flyer, causing a
fatal crash.
Other experiments with carbon mon
oxide gas in which rabbits are used
are those which seek to determine the
effect of its frequent use, oxygen re-
quirements of sealed and super
charged cabins to combat its poisonous
fumes and the effect of carbon diox-
ide and oxygen mixtures at high al
titudeS
Another interesting experiment has
to do with the influence of oxygen
upon the teeth. This is where the
human skull comes in. The aban-
doned skull is fitted with human teeth.
Some of these are filled with gold:
some are filled with amalgan. The
skull with its various kind of teeth IS
now subjected to oxygen tests in both
forms. These tests are conducted un-
der varying temperatures.

Then, too. there is the question of
what to do when a canoe upsets, how
to use an overturned canoe as a life
raft, how to right it, the safe way of
padding in gales and heavy seas, and
the rescuing of swimmers in trouble.
OF COURSE. rowboats also have
their own special technique. A
small boat is very difficult to handle
in the surf. So the student must learn
something of seemanship, including
such rope work as modifying, splicing
and bitches. making fast, and so on
down the list.
Naturally, the canoe has the advan-
tage over the skiff in that it can be
carried by one man. And this means
a careful study of canoe packs and
blanket rolls, the slowing of duffie,
tracking, polling, portaging and max
ing canoe shelters.

GAY SCORES LEVY
ON CAPITAL GAINS
Reelected Exchange Chief
Sees Artificial Scarcity of
Securities as Result.
BY tho Associated Press.

BY tho Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 12.-Charles r.
Gay, president of the New York Stock
Exchange, said yesterday, "the tax on
capital gains is continuing to create
artificial scarcity Of securities"
Interviewed as he swept unopposed
into the presidency of the stock ex-
change for q second term, the 61-year-
old broker whose business career
started as a $3-a-week carrier Of dry
goods samples, expressed concern over
the effects Of capital gains tax on
stock trading.
This tax helped to produce higher
prices in 1929" he said. 1T is un-
scientific and tends to accentuate the
valleys and peaks Of stock prices"
"A great many stockholders" he
explained, "feel they are locked by
the tax into situation where they
are not free to realize. so they do not
SELL"
Asked whether he thought the
securities and exchange commission
and higher margin requirements would
lessen the chances of another 1929"
the veteran broker. who In the boom
days was said to have executed some
of the largest stock orders in Wall
Street history, declined to venture an
opinion.
II don't think the S. E. c. and the
present margin requirements will of
themselves prevent wide fluctuations,
he said. Prices reflect current opinion"
Questioned on whether he thought
trading activity would again run up
to the $500, ,00O-5, 600 900 share-a-day
brackets, he said, 81 wouldn't stay in
business If didn't think so.''
ANY undue restriction of stock ex-
change activity will result in a less
liquid stock market" he added.
Reviewing his last years term as
president of the exchange he said, "our
relations with S. e. c. have been ex-
tremely pleasant. Our Business Con.
duct Committee is constantly watch

WHOLESALE INDEX
DECLINES IN WEEK
Drop in Farm Products
Stressed in Fertilizer
Association Report.

Largely due to lower prices for farm
products the general level of whole
sale commodity prices declined o.
per cent in the week ended May 8,
according TO the weekly index COM
piled by the National Fertilizer Asso-
ciation.
This index last week stood at 75.a
per cent Of the l926-1928 average,
compared with 76.1 in the preceding
week, 1853 a month ago, and IT'S a
year ago.
The most important declines during
the week were in grains and live stock
prices, with particularly sharp breaks
in wheat, cattle and hogs The result
was that the index of farm products
prices fell to the lowest point reached
stree 1884.
Although 16 commodities included
in the foods group declined in price
during the week and only five ad-
vanced small increase occurred in
the group index, rejecting higher
quotations for such important COM
modities as butter, eggs and dressed
chickens.
Fats and oils prices continued the
downward trend which had been in
progress in the preceding month, with
a further decline taking place in the
price of cottonseed oil.
Price changes in commodity groups
other than farm products and foods
were relatively unimportant during
the week. A slight rise was registered
by the textiles index, the result Of
higher cotton prices more than off,
setting small declines in raw silk and
certain cotton materials.
Higher prices for sand and Southern
pine caused the building materials
index to reach a new high point for
the recovery period. A small decline
in the index of fertilizer materials
prices was brought about by falling
quotations for organic ammoniates,
tankage and cottonseed meal having
declined during the week.
Continued declines in the prices Of

sible for a downturn in the index

BALTIMORE, May 12.-Attorney
General Herbert r. O'Conor ruled yes
terday State banks and trust COM
panies having capital stock will be re-
quired to pay the franchise tax passed
by the 1886 Legislature.
The Legislature adopted the fran
chise levy as part of special relief
taxation program. The taxes, including
levies on beer, whisky. cosmetics, ad-
missions and franchises, are for 1886
only.
O'Conor wrote:
This tax is not limited to ordinary
business corporations and the only
corporations exempt from the tax are
building or homestead corporations, CO.
operative organizations and charitable,
benevolent and fraternal institutions.
1t therefore follows that State banks
and trust companies having capital
stock will be required to pay this fran
chise tax for the year 1886"
The ruling was given in response to
a request from John D. Hospelhorn,
deputy State bank commissioner.
