No-Bug|e CampSe Up

To House 100 More

A soldiers dream camp with no
taps at night and no bugle in the
morning and a smaller barracks
with the same lack of rules, have
been set up for use beginning tonight
by weekend service visitors TO
Washington.
The tent camp Is on the Mall near
the Tidal Basin. where approx
mately 288 weary visitors may be
accommodated. If the visitor thinks
he would like to sleep under roof
instead, he may go to the George
Washington University gymnasium
between Twentieth and Twenty-frst
streets on H street NV, providing
he is among the first 100 who apply
there. The whole thing is part of
a nation wide program to provide
inexpensive lodgings for service men
when they are off the reservation.

Washington and turn up at one OF
the temporary camps when he gets
good and ready. For so cents he will
get a steel cot, a pillow and pillow
case, and two blankets. At least,
nell get two at the Tidal Basin camp,
and will probably need them.
And it doesn't matter what time
he gets up. But the traditional
military police-M. P. to soldiers
everywhere-will be on hand to see
that late arrivals don't come in
singing too loudly and awaken the
more sedate weekenders who may
be sleeping. s.r..r ....f
Forty-eight tents with approx
mately six cots each were set up
on the outdoor site and will be
fitted with furnishings from the
Welfare and Recreational Associa-
ton, a nom profit organization. With
exception of the disciplining, the
Welfare and Recreational Associa-
ton will operate the temporary shell
ters.
A Slight Mixup.
The tents belong to the Agricul-
ture Department which uses them
for the annual encampments OF the
All Clubs on the same Tidal Basin
site. In fact, the soldiers will have
to stay away for one week end this
summer when the club members
come.
There's a slight mixup about
just when the camp on the Mall will
close. Original correspondence be-
tween an Assistant Secretary of War
and the Secretary of the Interior
said the spot would be vacated by
May IS, but Robert J. Mccarthy
assistant to the general manager of
the Welfare and Recreational As
sociation, says he doesn't know of
any other space for use after that.
But he is looking.
One hundred officers and men
from the 18th Infantry at Arlington
Cantonment and Sd Cavalry at Fort
Myer set up the tents.

Surfeited with antiques and auc-
tioneering after yesterdays nine
hour session at North Wales Club,
Warrenton sought respite today at
the Gold Cup races. but with the
resolve to return 10 the club Mon
day. wnen the remainder of its fur
nishings and the land and build
ings themselves will be put on the
block
From 10 am. until nightfall yes
terday an iron-lunged auctloneer,
Latham Shumate, whipped crowd
of nearly 1000 persons with his
voice, yet when the shadows length
ened less than half of the 1900
odd furnishing items had been
sold. Everything put under the
hammer was disposed of as quickly
as possible, often at ridiculous
prices, but there just wasn't time
enough.
S475 Is Top Price.
Now and then spirited bidding
developed, but usually even the most
valuable articles went for a song.
The highest price paid for an ar
ticle was $475 Mrs. Philip C. Kauff-
mann of Washington gave for a
mahogany Sheraton settee assessed
at ST 500.
L. E. deS. Hoover of Rockingham,
near Warrenton, became the owner
of 7-foot mahogany grandfathers
clock, which had reposed at North
Wales since 1921, by bidding $400.
The assessors had priced the clock
at 1890. For $500 F. D. Thomas,
Washington lawyer. got mahog-
any-encased harpsichord brought to
North Wales from Fredericksburg
by ox-cart.
Hepplewhite tables supposedly
worth five time as much went for
$75 or 500. A 18th century English
oak chest brought $40. 1t was ap-
praised at $3.50. Somebody got an
early American corner cabinet of
cherry wood for $3.50.
Many States Represented.
People from all over Fauquier
County, from Washington, New
York. Pennsylvania, Maryland and
several other States were there,
and for the most part they got
the bargains they were looking for.
Every now and then the tables
were turned-somebody paid 81 for
rickety lawn mower ano another
81 for an iron door-stop-but not
often.
| Around noon Auctioneer Shumate
gave the countrymen their innings,
knocking down truck in running
order for $40, a station wagon for
500 and a tractor for twice that
much. Of three work horses, the
most costly. handsome Percheron,
sold for $50.
Among the articles to be sold
Monday will be the dining room fur
niture, mostly Hepplewhite, Duncan
Phyfe and Adams. The assessor
says IL is worth $25
