1o4o and received it's first con-
tingent of troops in the Spring OF
1911. By summer of that year it
was a training center for more than
20 600 men. This figure was boost
ed to approximately 10000 when
the training program reached its
peak during late 1912 and early
1913.
In addition to training anti-air-
craft troops, the camp also was
DESIGNATED as the Anti-Aircraft
command Officer Candi d e
school, and during 1943 and 1914
trained and commissioned thou
sands of AA officers.
It also was the Army's first anti
aircraft barrage balloon training
center.
When AA training requirements
dropped late in 1914, Camp Davis
was closed, only to be reopened
few months later as an Army
Air Forces convalescent center
for wounded airmen. That facility
existed less than six months, how
ever, and in the spring Of 1945
Camp Davis was taken over by the
Navy department, on loan from
the War department, as tenn
porary adjunct to Camp Lejeune
the Marine base north of it. Dur
ing the summer and autumn Of
last year more than 5000 Neither
lands Marines were trained at the
camp, under general supervision
Of U. S. Marines.
At the present time, the Marine
corps is maintaining a small guare
garrison on the reservation.

LObsters Are Fine Summer Fare

There's no better food in the world
than lobster. Call 1t that, crawf1sh,
langouste or rock lobster-it makes
no difference. The favor Is superb.
OF course, technically, there is a
difference. The true lobster, as we
know it, Is the "homarus ameri-
canus." found in Atlantic coastal
waters from Delaware to Labrador.
These are distinguished by their
enormous claws and by the fact
that their first three pairs of legs
are equipped with pincers

BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS.

From Mrs. B. r., AIeTdndrta.J
Won't some of you experienced
mothers help me get straight on the
finger-sucking problem once and for
ALP My 3-year-old son has this
habit to a marked degree. Not only
does he suck his fingers at bedtime
but off and on all through the day
This has been going on since baby
hood. I have tried every remedy
I've ever heard of, including adj
hesive tape, mittens, peppery medi-
cation-all without success. He has
a favorite finger, but If hindered
from sucking that one he will &c
to the neXt-and so on Mittens are
bitten off, as is any kind of band
age. He knows how to do a wide
variety of things with his hands
in fact, is unusually dexterous; he
has plenty of toys, nice play yard
and young companions. He is well
fed and in perfect health. His doc
tor has told me repeatedly that he
should be broken from the sucking
habit because it is running the shape
of his mouth and teeth. But how
to do it! Because he is getting to
be a big boy" now, I find this un-
slightly, babyish habit irritating me
more and more, and that isn't help
ing his disposition or mine. Can
some one suggest the reason for this
habit and the remedy? I'm sure a
good many mothers will be inter-
ested in the answer.

industry profits, for Holsters minus
a claw cannot be sold on the "hoof, -
so to speak, and therefore go cheap
to the Gamers.
You can broil Holsters very sue
cessfully on grill or outdoor barbe-
cue. II Is hard to do this in the
average kitchen broiler because the
meat tends to dry out, Split the
live Holsters down the stomach with
a sharp knife, sprinkle butter and
lemon juice over the meat and broil,
flesh side to the flame, until the
shell turns red and the meat is
done.
For boiled lobster, to eat cold,
either in or out of the shell, put the
lobster head first into boiling, salted
water, cover and boil five minutes
for l pound and three minutes for
each additional pound. Let the lob
ster cool In its water and then chill
until wanted.
Split 1t down the front from head
to tail, force the halves apart and
remove the intestinal vein. Lady
Holsters may have some red roe. or
coral" in the abdominal cavity.
This is much liked by epicures, as is
the greenish liver.

have my hands full fighting that
battle in my own family. Marriage
should be a partnership, but get
ting that idea through Freddy's
Cro-Magnon head is as futile as
trying to pierce the Great Wall OF
China with an icepick.
freely admit Freddy Is wiser
than I in many ways, but will he
concede that in others I excel? No!
He pirates constantly of women's
inferiority and he even applauded
the Nazis' putting women back In
the kitchen where they belong"
Since women will never return to
their shackles, the alternative Is to
enlighten men, but if Freddy Is a
fair sample, the present crop OF
husbands is past redemption. And
already he has left his mark upon
our l2-year-old son.
If a man driver and woman
driver are in an automobile COLI
sion, Bruno needs no jury to place
the blame: he knows the woman
was wrong. He was plenty sore
when the War Department recog-
nized the WASPS; q woman, he
said, couldn't possibly fly fast

Black Widow to nearby field, he

served, She's the exception that
proves the rule" A news story
about woman testing parachutes
brought this comment: mo use

If that kid marries woman who
is a match for him, all the mother
in-law rules are going by the
boards. I'll be right in there cheer
ing for his wife.

have added, ain my opinion In.
telligent people don't make fat as
sertions: They concede that others
might hold opposing views which
are equally sound.
Some of the happiest marriages
don't operate on the partnership
basis. The wife doesn't defy her
husband up and down the line, but
she does show faith in his judgment
and maybe even humors him a
little. AS a result, he is more toll
Grant of her faults, more devoted
to her welfare and more sincerely
anxious to please. It isn't a ques.
ton OF shackles for the wife, al
Foxy sarcastically calls 1t; It's
merely that woman's intuition can
get her a lot more Of life,s happi-
ness than her intellect can. And
all the advanced thinking in the
world isn't going to alter the fact
I'm not appealing for dumb
wives or favoring curtailment OF
women's education. Girls have a
right to all the academic learning
they can absorb. But when they
faunt their brilliant brains in mar
riage, they are the losers.
A husband may be proud of his
wife's high 10, he may even brag
about it at the club, but II she
struts it around his home, he's not
going to respond with the personal
warmth of romantic devotion which
all wives seem to lap up-at times
So take your choice, girls. You
can't have both. And don't be
fooled by the feminine intellectual
giants you read about. They may
be missing lot of the things you
want out of life.

What, we asked. is this fatal at
traction that African violets hold
for women? Mrs. Lester X. Shakel-
| ton Of Westhaven, who has raised
rs plants, and has 100 leaves sprout-
| ing roots In flats, declared that
they are "just so pretty" and went
on to explain how all OF this started
She bought one plant about eight
years ago, had grand luck with It
and has proven to have a green
thumb" with her family Of violets
ever since. This original blue plant
a Blue Boy" is actually the only
one she has ever purchased. 1t nov
reigns in dignity as "granddad" In
her collection-since 1t has nearly
a hundred blossoms.
Seeing her luck, friends brought
flowers to her to be doctored; she
got slips from them, and, like Topsy
her collection "just grew" Mrs
Shakelton has violets Of five varie-
ties-her favorite dark blue blue
Boy, pink pink Lady,, white and
two tones Of amethyst. One of the
amethyst variety, orchid in hue, has
blossoms sometimes an inch and a
half in diameter. The other orchid
variety is q quite small, dainty one
with shiny leaves. When In bloom,
blues and whites average from so
to IS blossoms each.
And the secret OF Mrs. Shakelton's
success? AS the lady pointed out
opinions as to the care of African
violets vary as much as opinions on
the care of babies. Here are some of
her rules:
The essential thing. according to
her, Is to make the plant bloom In
light. with a north light declared
by her to be best. She allows very
little Sunshine to fall on the plants
Also, she considers oxygen essential,
declaring the plants must have
fresh air. She waters them with
warm water on top of the soil--in
average weather, every four or five
days. A coffee percolator is often an
asset In getting under the leaves
And occasionally they are watered
with leftover tea. She plants the
violets in a potting mixture of oak
leaf mold. well-rotted manure, and
sandy soil, potting them every two
to four years. She never uses COM
mercial fertilizer.
Mrs. Shakelton has 20 plants
blooming outdoors, and S. indoors

the plants begin to bloom, she
