Destroy Poisonous
Plants For Comfort

Many susceptible men and wo-
men are made miserable each year
by rash and irritation caused by
poisonous plants, notably poison
ivy, poison oak and poison sumac,
says Mrs. William N. Cam, vice
president for Home Safety CT the
Delaware Safety Council. The
plants contain certain chemicals to
which many people are very sensi-

the skin the typical rash results.
These plants should be uprooted

Girls Inspect West Point
AS Tradition Is Broken
By The Associcted Press

WEST POINT, N. Y, Dec. o.
A 147-year tradition at the Mill
tary Academy was broken yester-
day but nobody seemed to mind.
For the first time, girls were al
lowed to inspect the military post
during a typical working day.
The 26 girls were students from
civilian colleges, attending an un-
dergraduate conference on Amer
lean affairs. The four-day con-
ference, in itself a tradition
breaker, is under academy auspi-
ces.
The girls saw cadets at their
classes and in the gym. They
took part in round-table discus
sions with the future officers.
Women visitors always have been
welcome at the academy. espe-
cialiy during June Week, but their
tours have been restricted.
The feminine contingent was
welcomed everywhere yesterday
but two places-the cadet mess
hall and barracks.
