Supervised by expert kindergartnezs.
with trained nurses and medical men
in attendance, these Nursery Camps
appeal to more and more parents.
Some are on farms; some are in the
woods; but all are scaled to the
peculiar requirements and limitations
of their young guests.
Truly. camping has changed. Fancy
going to a camp in the Southwest
where high-school boys are part of an
honest-to- goodness expedition with
commissions from the American Mu-
scum of Natural History of New York
and the Indianapolis Children's Mu-
scum to investigate the fauna, fora
and geology" of territories far remote
from civilization.
Imagine the kick there is for boys
from 8 to Is in a Cruise Camp on
former submarine chasers under the
command of ex-Navy men or in
real cowboy camps on the Western
plains where every kid wears chaps
and spurs and sombrero and has his
own pony!
Indeed, adults who have lost con-
tact with camping are amazed at what
goes on today. There are Farm Camps
where youngsters live on genuine.

the craving for wandering so typical of
youth. Some of these carry their
groups to a given point by train and
then start on foot, bicycle or horse

may be the Canadian Rockies or the
mountains of Vermont (where so much
has been done in laying out bicycle

There is type of camp today for
every taste, juvenile or parental. for
camps now run all the way from the

In addition to these are the thou

All Clubs, and numerous other groups,

half million Boy Scouts alone
camped out. some 220.O of them in
council-supervised camps. When you
add to these the hundreds of thou

groups, it seems marvel that any
children at all are left at home during
July and August.
There are, naturally, and one reason
is the economic factor. Private camps
charge from $3.50 to $500 for the two
month season, averaging around $3.50
to $500. Organization camps range
from $40 to SIT a week, taking

of the constructive angles of this type
of camping is the initiative which
prompts thousands of boys and girls
to cut grass, rake leaves, shovel snow,
deliver groceries and otherwise earn
money for their summer adventures.

in a woman's club all winter to raise
$39 apiece for fortnight scruise camp.
A second reason why some children
stay home is the parental foreboding
about safety. But when you realize
that among the stay-athomes under

be safer in a good camp. And you
become convinced of it when you hear

Washington, March 23.-(AP)- Sen
ator Byrd, Democrat, Virginia, declar-
ed today the comptroller general had
earned the displeasure of the admin
istratiOn by stopping what the Vlr-
gilman called "illegal expenditures"
He urged the Senate not to destroy
the office "and give all the power to
rrevert ILLEGAL government expendi-
lures to the director of the budget, an
appointee of the President"
With a final Senate vote on the
pending executive reorganization bill
probable before nightfall, Byrd pro-
posed an amendment which would con
tinue the comptroller generals office,
established in 1921.
Byrd's amendment, and move to
shelve the bill by sending it back to
committee, were the major obstacles
to Senate disposition of the measure.
Before the reorganization bill de-
bate began, both Senate and House
received from President Roosevelt his
reasons for ousting Arthur Morgan
from the craftsmanship of the IVA.
In the Senate, Majority Leader Bark
ley blocked a move for Immediate con

declared bluntly that Georgia ana
