"We strongly oppose soaring a

through useless drills. he said.
However, If the world situation
becomes serious enough. camps
will provide an excellent training
ground for civil defense"
There are basically four types of
camps. according to S. John

and Child Services of Washington.
There is the agency camp, such as
Camps Good Will and Pleasant,
supported by the committee and

"are necessary to our democratic

When you send a child to camp
you help to make him independent
in the self-reliant, democratic
sense his forefathers were, Wayne
C. Sommer, general chairman OF
the American Camping Associa-
ton convention, said yesterday.
That's why more than 300
counselors and other camp per-
sonnel are meeting this week in
the Wardman Park Hotel. They
are helping each other with ideas
to develop the minds and bodies
Of the Nations children.
The convention is almost like
a camp itself. Members have been
attending classes and lectures and
have been working at crafts, just
as they would at summer camp
Get New Ideas.
"We do that" said Mr.. Som
mer. so we can learn new ideas
and crafts with which to teach
children how to better develop
their minds and bodies"
The American Camping Asso-
citation was formed some 40 years
ago to encourage the spread of
camps, public and private. and to
"restimulate citizenship" among
children.
The group attempts TO develop
independence in children through
the practical application Of their
minds and bodies.
Although the draft. will take
many of the young men used by
camps as counselors, you cannot
let the camping program bog
down." Col. Campbell C. Johnson
assistant director, National Selec-
tive Service, told a meeting yes
terday. The Nations camps are
vital in the development of the
child's health, he said. He pointed
out that 1 million out of the first
3 million men registered under
the Selective Service Act were de-
ferred for reasons of health.

Music
Pogonini Quartet
Presents Two
Novelties
By Elena de Soyn

Two novelties, Vivaldi's "Con-
certo No. 5" and Jean Francaix's s
Quartet" constituted a part OF
the program given by the Pag-
anini Quartet in the Library OF
Congress last night. The concert
was sponsored by the Gertrude
Clarke. Whittall Foundation.
While vivaldi's 18th century
violin concertos and his Concert
Grossi" for orchestra are popular,
his chamber music is practically
unknown. The quartet, entitled
a Concerto" heard last night is
taken from his "L'Estro Armon-
ico," or Work of Harmonic In
spiration." Is is actually what the
composer intended 1t to be, lovely
for the concordant sounds pro-
duced by two. three or four instru-
ments. Robust and melodious. 1t
is vigorous rhythmically, giving
the first violin precedence over
the other strings. The Largo
resembling a church aria, Is car
ried almost exclusively by the
leader of the quartet to the &C
compartment of the viola and
second violin, the cello remaining
silent.
Francaix's quartet is unlike any
thing modernists have produced,
especially those of the Nadia Bou-
langer's school. to which he be-
longs. In four movements. the
composition is full of frolic and
mirth, charming for its dainty ex-
preston and winsomeness. There
| is something of Prokofieff's and
Mendelssohn's spirit in it, just a
suggestion here and there in the
rhythm. Yet, the silvery simmer
which hangs over the entire work
and the sound of it are Francaix's
very own. The composer was in
his early twenties when he wrote
it. His youthful exuberance, love
of pranks and innocent merri-
ment are all there. mirrored in
music which leases and laughs.
The Paganini Quartet-Henri
Temianka and Gustave Rosseels,
violins; Charles Foidart, viola.
and Adolphe Frezin, cello-are
noted for their fine ensemble and
tone. The artists made a highly
successful debut in the Library of
Congress in 1916 and have been
constantly before the public since.
The type of music presented in
the first part of the program gave
Mr.. Temianka a fine opportunity
to show the sweet qauilty of his
tone. The ensemble was notable
for its usual polish and smooth
ness.

the life story Of his sons would have

He died after reaching California.
The young widow married a

OF all the bandits who have
roamed the U. s. A., the one who
stands first in the public mind is
Jesse James. Most persons have few
facts about his life story, but in a
sketchy way he is known to have
robbed railway trains, banks and
lstagecoaches.
Jesse was born in the family VI
a minister Of the gospel, the Rev.
Robert James. His mother had
been educated in a convent.
Thinking of the family back
ground, we should hardly expect
son to become an outlaw. The
fact, however, is that both sons in
the family Frank and Jesse -
broke the law so many times that
they must have lost count.
The James family lived in Mis-

of Kearney. The father eked out
his income by farming, in addition
to his preaching.

Opening lead, six of hearts.
The orthodox manner of shat
tering communications between the
enemy hands is by the old-fashioned
holdup play, which consists of re-
fusing to win your trick until such
time as one of them has been eX-
hausted of the suit. But there is
another method. rarer, but con-
siderably more colorful. 1t con-
sists of winning the first trick with
the intention of deliberately Great
ing block of the suit. Observe
how it worked in today's hand.
South, having balanced hand
with three suits stopped and a
point count of 18, naturally opened
with one no-trump, and North's
hcld with II points was ample for
the raise to three.
West led the six of hearts, and
stl, fate of the hand hinges upon
ode ;larer's play to trick one A
sfoutine duck will result in the loss
sof the contract, for the suit will
sbe returned and established while
sWest still retains the king of spades
for entry. Declarer paused for a
moment to ask himself the pointed
euestion-"What is it that I fear?"
FK The answer was, 81 fear that
West has five hearts and that the
spade finesse will lose. If West
has only four hearts, I have noth-
Ing to fear. If he has five, there's
a good chance the suit will be
blocked if go right up with the
ace"
The reasoning is neat. If West
has five hearts, East will have only
two, but the significant fact is that
one of those two must be an honor.
Application of the rule of II makes
1t clear that East has one card that
can beat the six. It must be either
the king. queen or ten, for if
West had all three of them, he
would have led the king rather
than the six If East's high heart
is the ten, the winning play is toI
duck in dummy. But if it is the
king or queen, the suit can be
! blocked by going up with the ace.
The latter seemed to offer declarer
the better chance two combina-
tions rather than one), so he won
the first trick and tried the spade
fnesse. West won with the king,
but was unable to cause declarer
any annoyance, for the heart suit
could not run and declarer had
