wise suggested material for the book.
The intention of the book was to pre-
pare a handbook that would be of
help to rural girls who were prepar-
ing Tor college. Later the scope of the
book was somewhat extended so that
some parts of the work became ap-
plicable to schools where there was
a lack of individual guidance.
Miss Hunters collaboration in the
work is just one of the many ac-
tivities in which she is interested and
which is claiming as much of her time
as she can afford to devote to the

IMAGINARY PAYROLL
Philadelphia Record )

Two weeks ago it was revealed .Aat a clerk in the Interior Depart ment had invented a whole eco camp with a full CCC corps of i'm agInary men whom he had shifted aDout, given sick leave, etc, all the while pocketing it's non-imaginary payroll, to the tune of S90,0O0
 Audacious as the scheme may seem, it isn't hard to believe it was carried out, red tape at Washington being what it is. Yet now we hear rom army officers that it just couldn't have been done" that the eIerK was merely embedding, that eIeatlon of an imaginary camp is too 1antastic.''
 Too fantastic? Well, has anybody actually checked up to see whether InIs camp exists, or ever existed? mas anybody checked up to see whether all the other CCC camps or record are in actual existence?
 It turns out that nobody has. Ac- cording to a story in the Baltimore Evening Sun, there never has be sn an audit of the CCC because it would take at least six auditors the better part of a year to make such an audit, ." ==-z z--zz=-zz
 This might seem as unbelievable as the imaginary CCC camp, but we're ready to believe anything nowadays.
 We do feel, however, that if Uncle Sam cant spare six out of the 819,- 00O people now working for him to make this audit, he might remember that by bis own count there are ov- CT 10 million jobless. And certainly among those 10 million there ought to be six qualified to find out whether the CCC camps are camps or castles in the air.
