By Navy Dept.

WASHINGTON. Nov. lUP) -
The navy departments attack up

cies was expected today to have
far-reaching effects upon congress
sional consideration of the Wages
and Hours bill
Clauds A. Swanson, secretary of
navy. and Admiral William D.
Leahv. chief of naval operations,
in their annual reports, warned
that increased restrictive legisla-
tion on the naval building program
would be a menace to the national
defense.
SC forceful was Swanson's state
ment that many Observer believed
a different set of rules may be es-
tablished in the proposed Wages
and Hours bill to apply to manu-
facturers of materials in the army
and navy defense programs.
= recommended that the ut
most care" be taken in future Ia
Dor legislation to guard against
"inordinate delays" in completion
of the defense program.
Swanson apparently referred to
the Walsh-Healy Act, which esta-
blishes labor standards for private
firms engaged on government con-
tracts and which presumably
would be perpetuated by the Wages
and Hours bill.
Further apprehension over SLOW
ing I'D of the treaty navy" pro-

CAMP
GIVES HELP
TO CHILDREN

Editors Note: This is the Sec
ond in a series of articles describ-
ing activities of the Character
Building agencies.)
Located in the mountains, ST
miles west of El Centre, is Hipass
Health Camp, camp sponsored
by the American Legions and auxi-
liaries. s ct 40 and 40 ct OF
Imperial county, for underprivileg-
ed children.
The camp site consists of forty
acres located just north of the
Hipass store and postoffice, with
the grounds studded with live oak
trees. A creek runs through the
property and the creek bed is
shaded by willows, manzanita and
red shank.
The purposes of 1ipasS health
camp are:
l. To care for a group of under
privileged children between the
ages of six and twelve years.
2. To give these children the ad-
vantages of preventative measures
as follows: ca Regular hours of
sleep during the night and rest
during the day.
(b) A scientifically balanced
diet and daily check on general
health.
Co Proper exercises recommend
ed by known authorities to develop
posture and good health.
(dD Interesting training in ma
ture study, arts and crafts.
(e) Social adjustment.
8. To give each child knowledge
of Americanism and the funda-
mentals of citizenship.
The buildings at the camp are
somewhat run down and it is alb
solutaiy necessary that sanitary
improvements be made before the
camp opens next summer. AS the
camp was overcrowded during the
1897 season it is essential that more
dormitories be built and hospital
facilities improved if the camp
continues to grow as more facilities
will be needed to accommodate
more children.
The HipaSS Health camp was
operated in 1881 by the Tubercu-
losis association in cooperation
with the American Legion. In
1882 the veterans organizations
took full charge and cared for
total of 43 children at cost of
$1661, the camp being operated
for the regular eight weeks period.
In 1885, 54 children were cared for
at an expense of $2025.
In 1887 SO children were cared
for during the camp season for
344 child weeks at a cost of about
1890 The cost was reduced from
$5.75 a child week to $480 largely
through the efficiency of Legion
naire Fred Riddle who acted as
purchasing agent for the camp.
The staff consisted of a trained
corps of workers interested in child
health work and the children have
weekly check-ups on their health.
Before entering the camp, each
child is required to have the diph-
iberia toxoid and smallpox vac
cination as we'll as a physical ex-
animation. This is to insure that
the child is free from any commu-
nicable disease.
