! Because the prisoners naturally IA
vor the sports of their own coun-
tries, standard army athletic equip
ment kits have not proved generally
satisfactory.
National preferences and tastes
are taken into account in planning
the meals for the prisoners. These
menus, covering meals for a month,
are prepared in the office of the
quartermaster general. Substitu-
tions may be made from list of
foods indicated as approximately
equivalent in food value to any item
on the specified list. For instance,
the Italians at Camp Atterbury,
Ind, asked for more bread and
spaghetti instead of their meat al
lowance. The camp now gets more
flour and less meat. The menu for
typical day at that camp consists
of spaghetti, pork, potatoes, cole
slaw, canned pears, coffee and thick
crusted Italian bread. It is men
toned that the men leave their
plates clean.
The administration of each prison
camp follows well-established pat
tern. A typical prison camp, for ex-
ample, housing 5000 prisoners, re-
quires the services of SOC officers
and enlisted men of the United
States army. This detachment is
made up of three military police es-
cort companies, 81 additional Off
GERS, and three attached officers.
These companies usually are rotat-
ed, one being on actual guard, man.
ming towers and gates, while an
other is in alert and another is en-
gagged in tactical and other train
ing exercises or in supervising and
guarding work details.
The prisoners are organized into
companies of $50 men each, with
each company under an officer of
the army of the United States. In
turn, battalions are formed within
the camp, all under the camp COM
mander.
Although the company command
er is assisted in administering his
company by enlisted members of
the army of the United States, in
Guiding first sergeant, mess and
supply sergeant, clerk, an inter-
prefer and cook, the prisoners them
selves are permitted to organize and
administer their own affairs as
much as possible. From their own
ranks they may choose leaders to
serve as their spokesmen in MAX
ing requests or complaints to the
company or camp commander.
Cooks, BARRIERS, tailors, cobblers and
other essential personnel also are
chosen from among the prisoners.

from one enclosure to another.
Guards and administrative person
mel are housed outside the stockade
in nearby barracks and offices.
Will Work as Harvest Hands.
The office of the provost marshal
general has found that many of the
prisoners were tradeSmen, including
carpenters, stone maSons, house
painters, but the use to which their
skills may be put is restricted.
Many others were farmers. Their
use in farming will be confined to
those operations which require a
dozen or more men at one time, such
as cotton picking and harvesting.
Prisoners must be under guard at
all times. Being soldiers, they can
not be placed in the custody of a
civilian, and it is impracticable to
send guard out with small groups.
Other occupations which will en-
ploy large numbers of prisoners are
road building, irrigation develop
mentS, dam construction and prof.
ects of a similar nature.
All of the enlisted prisoners,
whether working or not, receive an
allowance of 10 cents day for the
purchase of toilet goods or other
articles from the stockade canteen.
Their pay when working, 30 cents a
day, is deposited in credit ac-
count. The prisoner may withdraw,
in the form of canteen coupons, one
half of each months credit up to a
maximum of $40 per month.
When working for a state or pri-
vate contractor, the rate of pay is
decided upon in advance between
the employer and the camp COM
mander. The rate, however, may
not be less than that of 80 cents a
day paid when the work is done for
the federal government.
Officer prisoners are not COM
PEELED to work. If they choose to
work, they are paid the same basis
as the enlisted man. Regardless of
whether or not the officers work,
under the Geneva convention they
are paid in accordance with their
grade and in line with specific ar
rangements between the enemy
powers. This pay for German and
Italian officer prisoners is the equiv
alent of $40 per month for warrant
officers and first and second lieu
tenants; $50 for captains, and $40
for those in the grade of major and
above.
Sports and Reading Rooms.
Facilities for recreation are pro-
vided at all of the camps. Equip
ment supplied by the war depart
ment is supplemented in many cases
by gifts from private organizations.

Prisoners of War Are Held in II States;
Some Work on Farms and Public Projects
Defeated Men Happy
About Hearty Food,
Humane Treatment

Prisoners of war, principally
from North Africa, are being
shipped to the United States and
placed in camps, there to re-
main until peace returns. Some
36,688 men have arrived, of
whom %, ,110 are Germans, A.
Sic Italians and 62 Japanese, up
to the first week of June, the war
department announces. They
are confined in Fl camps, locat-
ed in II states.
These former enemy soldiers are
being treated according to the hui
name requirements of the Geneva
convention, of which both Germany
and Italy are signatories, as is the
United States. Japan has never ac-
cepted this agreement.
These men may be employed,
within rigid provisions, on farms and
public works construction, thereby
possibly relieving the labor short
age in some regions. Another ad-
vantage of having these prisoners
here, is that their presence here
keeps their friends and relatives in
the homelands anxious about their
welfare. This anxiety may help to
insure honorable treatment of
American prisoners in Axis camps.
On the other hand, the reports which
prisoners write home about the good
food and decent living and working
conditions here, should have a IA
vorable propaganda value.
Germans are housed in these II
camps. These are: Camp Breckin-
ridge, KY; Camp Chafee, Ark;
Crossville, Tenn; Camp Gruber,
Okla; Hereford, Texas; Huntsville,
Texas; Roswell, N. NJ; Stringtown,
Okla; Angel Island, Calf; Camp
Blanding, Fla; and Fort Meade,
Md. There are some Italians at
Crossville. Angel Island, Camp
Blanding, and Fort Meade are tenn
porary establishments.
There are 10 camps for Italians.
These are: Camp Atterbury, Ind;
Camp Carson, Colo; Camp Clark,
Mo-; Weingarten, Mo-; Crossville,
Tenn. (separate from Germans);
Florence, Ariz.; Fort Leonard Wood,
Mo-; Ogden, Utah; Camp Phillips,
Kan; and Camp Wheeler, Ga. All
these are permanent. The 81 Japa-
nese are confined at Camp Mccoy,
Wis. (See map.)
Room for $1,000 in Camps.
The present capacity of these
camps is stated as approximately
$1,000. Present camps will be ex-
panded, and new ones established
as needed, the war department
says. Most prison camps are locat-
ed within army camps.
The commanding officer of the
army installation is also the COM
manding officer of the prison estab-
lishment. Where the prison camp is
not within an army installation, the
commanding officer of the prison
camp is designated by the COM
manding general of the service COM
mand area.
The standard stockade at each of
the prison camps is an enclosure
within a double barbed wire fence,
with guard towers covering a mar
row alley between fences. This
stockade is divided into three COM
pounds, containing hut shelters, mess
halls, toilet facilities and other in
stallations to provide for 1000 men.
Within their respective compounds,
the prisoners may circulate freely,
but guarded gates restrict passage

Glass mats and woven glass rib
bon and cloth serve as separators to
insulate parts of storage batteries
and electrical machinery. Special
glass ribbon filters the dissolved
blood plasma in hospitals. Glass
sutures or thread for stitching or
sewing up wounds have been de-
veloped.
Glass cloth is noninfamrrah6e. It
may be waterproofed and used in,
tarpaulins to protect war equipment
against moisture, rain and snow.

Odors and Bacteria

Numerous wholesome odors that
emanate from various substances
or permeate the air of large areas
are produced by the present or
past action of bacteria, says Col
ier's. Among them are the bou-
auet of wines, the fragrances of
perfumes and the fiavors of fine
tobacco, butter and cheeses; also
the smells of the sea beach, a
wood in winter, a newly titled field
and the earth after a rain.

AMERICAN TAXI-DRIVERS

Some political prognOStlcatorS say
you can predict the outcome of U. S.
elections by the reaction of taxi
drivers. However, the character of
taxi-drivers may go even further
and be an index of the general hon.
esty and temperament of the Amer
lean people.
Owls Katherine c. Blackburn
struck a hopping mad taxi-driver in
New York the other day. He had
just found $1,000 in war savings
stamps which somebody had left in
his cab. When he traced the 'fare"
and returned the stamps, all he got
was congratulations on his honesty
and 25-cent tip.
"I'l never be honest again!" he
declared grimly.
This brought him and Miss Black
burn to the Ritz Carlton. She got
out, paid her fare, and tripped into
the hotel. While she was still in
the lobby, somebody tapped her on
the elbow.
Excuse me, miss" said a voice,
"but you left your furs in my taxi!"
q On the average of once a day,
somebody with a screw loose tries

NEW FAR EASTERN DRIVE

NEW FAR EASTERN DRIVE
It now seems certain that we will
concentrate on the Far East to a
much greater degree than most peo-
pie expected.
U. S. naval officials had been pri-
vately skeptical of British co-opera-
ton in the Far East and never ex-
pected Churchill to come through.
However, he and Roosevelt both
agreed that the time had arrived
for vigorous operations to stop the
Japs before they dug in so deeply
on the Pacific islands that it would
take years to dislodge them.
The British have now given def
mite commitments regarding GER
tain operations. This is important.
1t so happens that the British do not
promise easily. Our own top strate-
gists are inclined to make promises
quickly, but sometimes have to ex-
plain them away when conditions
change and it is obvious they cannot
be kept But the British, though
awfully hard to pin down, have alb
solutely kept their agreements when
once made.
What these commitments are re-
main a military secret. However,
certain moves which are known to
all, including the Japs, should give
Tokyo plenty to worry about. For
it is no accident that Admiral MINI
itz, commander in the Pacific, has
been recalled for conferences; or
that the Unsuitable Australian prime
minister has now said he was salts
fed; or that Attu was taken.
All these straws in the wind point
to hitting Japan from many different
directions-Alaska, Australia, Bur-
ma and the Central Pacific.
This offensive in the Far East may
be one substitute for a second front
in western Europe. 1t may not
knock Hitler out of the war quite
so soon, but it may make the two
wars-in Europe and Asia-finish at
more nearly the same time.
SAVING UNCLE SANS SHEKELS
Here is a simple suggestion which
would save the government millions:
AS the law stands, man coming
into the government cannot be hired
for the figure of $4,000 or $4,000, but
must get one or another of the fixed
government ratings, such as 81, 800
or $500 or $6,5OO.
Many man has come to Washing
ton from the business world in the
last few years, willing to work for
$4,000. But there is no government
rating at that figure, so he is Of
fered $4,000, and if he won't take
that, he must be paid $4,000.
Likewise, if he is a $1,000 man,
willing to work for that figure but
not for less, he must be given $4,000.
Literally hundreds of men have
come into the War Production at
salaries $500 or $1,000 more than
they would have accepted, simply
because the Redistribution Act of
1923 establishes the figures of 81 600,
900 and Sc, 500 with no elasticity.
The same waste results in the field
of promotion. To keep good men
these days, government agencies
are obliged to give promotions with
out waiting for the 21a year period
required by Civil Service.
So the agencies resort to eva
sion. They reclassify the employe
by writing up a new job for him
at higher salary level. He might
be satisfied with $500 raise, but
reclassifcation means that he gets
at least 5000 more, or even ST, 500
more.
A simple change in the law would
save hundreds of dollars in thou
sands of cases.

Teachers Must Endure Laxity.
'The truth is" this letter goes on,
''the school teacher has no redress
against the rudeness and ignorance
of children. If they have had no
home training, and the family stand
ard of character is low, it is the
teacher who pays. Often woman
who is socially acceptable, who is
apparently gentlewoman in all 9TH
er relationships, will be exacting
and ill-tempered when anything goes
wrong at school, and to her anyone
except her precious child is to
blame.
''For example. A girl of nine had
not been taught to put her coat, hat
and rubbers into her own locker and
be responsible for them at school.
She scatters them about the play
yard or the halls, and later the busy
teacher has to go all over the place,
up and downstairs, hunting for
them. Or a smaller girl brings to
school. the ring, or the five dollar bill,
that she got for her birthday and
presently it is missing. The moth
er telephones in great agitation; will
Miss Wilson please find out instant
ly who took it?
Today" continues this harassed
Arkansas teacher, ga woman tele-
phoned me in my lunch hour, keep
ing me exactly IL minutes, while
she told me not to let Betty-Lou
take off her hair-ribbons. Betty-Lou
is nine. 4 want her to learn to pre-
serve her things the mother said.
Every day some mother telephones
that her small boy is learning to
swear; a situation with which no
school has ever been able to deal;
the only place in which that can be
handled is home. Yesterday one of
the teachers from upstairs came
down to report that mother had
telephoned to say that for some
weeks she would have to leave her
girls at the school until six o'clock,
would Miss Raymond mind keep
ing an eye on them? Grandma was
quite i'll, and Mama had to be with
her every day. Just why two girls,
of IA and Is, couldn't be with Mama
and Grandma Miss Raymond could
not see; This is about the worst
yet,' she said.

Mother Ordered Shampoo.

; ''But the worst yet was when two
children, eight and nine, got into
the habit of coming to school really
dirty, with unwashed hands and un-
combed hair. Mama isn't up when
we start was their explanation. The
teacher took them into the wash
room and cleaned them, for several
days, meanwhile determining that
she would go and see Mama. But
before her crowded schedule left
time for that she had a note from
Mama, written incidentally on pref
tily monogrammed paper: If you
have time at noon recess wrote
Mama, will you give Emily's hair
good shampooing. Many thanks
in advance
Well, this may give the mothers of
certain young children few ideas.
My own addition to these letters is
a hint to the effect that it isn't al
ways a good idea to let children
realize that Mama is against Teach
er, that Teacher is wrong and in
effectual and unimportant and even
ridiculous. Children need politeness
and discipline and certain amount
of humble obedience. It doesn't hurt
children to learn that sometimes in
justices and thefts and losses are
due to their own carelessness and
boastfulness, and cannot be righted
by Mama's sharp reproof to Teach
er.
