CAMPING.
(Continued from page 2, Col. 4.)
feet pitched in the following manner
will serve as a tent:
Cut a pole, or two poles, about ten
feet long and two and one half inches
to three inches in diameter at the
big end. Stick the big end into the
ground with the small end well raised
and with the base rigidly suported.
If you use two poles, plant the bases
two feet or more apart, but bring the
upper ends closer together.
Lay your duck sheet across the poles;
tie the middle of the lower ten-foot
edge to the pole, or poles, a foot or
less from the ground. Cut two small
poles about four feet long. Put one
of them about two feet from the low-
er edge of the sheet and underneath
it across the top of the poles, and
put the other across the poles near
the front or upper edge. Tie the two
upper corners of the sheet to conven-
ient trees or to stakes about three
feet high. Now turn in the two low-
er corners and lay your brush bed
with the head over them. That will
shut out all wind from the back of
your shelter, and the more of the
sheet you can tuck in along the sides
of your bed the better it will be. It
is well to tie the upper edge to the
upper end of the poles to keep it
from drawing downward and making
wrinkles.
FOR ALL-NIGHT FIRES
For all-night fires cut your wood
from as large trees as you can handle
and make the sticks about six feet
long. With a fire built of such logs
in front of your shelter you can be
warm when the mercury stands at
zero. You can feel the heat reflect-
ed downward from the roof of the
tent clear to the back end; and if you
had to make camp in a rain or a wet
snow, your bed will dry out in an hour
or two.
The pack harnesses that the Com-
panion has described in the past are
good on a trip of this kind, but bet-
ter still are the regular pack sacks
with harness attached that are sold
by outfitters for prospectors and hunt-
ers. Some have a head strap attach-
ed that relieves much of the strain
on the shoulders. Roll up your tent
and bedding, and any other soft
articles, and put them into the bot-
tom of the pack sack to form a soft
pad for your pack. The other articles
should be packed on top as snugly as
possible.
Do not attempt too long a walk the
first day. Rest frequently and camp
before you get too tired, even if it is
early.
If you are on a strange trail and
come to a good camp ground an hour
or even two hours before it is time
to camp, it is wiser to stop. You may
not sud another good place before
ark.

portant articles and will gladly send

Free Shade Trees for Beautifying
Town.
Free shade trees for planting along
the streets have been offered to every
municipality in the State by Gifford
Pinchot, the State’s chief Forester.
He urged the city authorities to ac-
cept the assistance of experts of the
Pennsylvania Department of Forestry
in the selection of new trees and in
the care of the trees they now have.
Forester Pinchot also advocated the
organization of shade tree commis-
sions. His letter to'clerks of councils
all over the State follows:
“The Pennsylvania Department of
Forestry is anxious to help you make
your town an even more pleasant
place in which to live. The value of
systematic planting and proper care
of shade trees along streets to this
end is very great. To get the best
results from your trees responsibility
for this work should be definitely
fixed.
“A live Shade Tree Commission has
greatly benefitted many cities and
boroughs. If you have not already
done so provisions of the Act of May
31, 1907, P. L. 349 might well be ac-
cepted by your Council and such a
Commission might be named.
“The Department of Forestry will
be glad to co-operate with the Shade
Tree Commission of your borough by
recommending the proper species,
time, and places for planting, correct
methods for pruning, treatment for
fungi and insect attacks, ete., as well
as furnish trees, free of charge, for
municipal and educational planting.
“If you think well of the above §
would appreciate it very much if you
would bring it to the attention of
your Council, and at your convenience
jet me know the results. This De-
partment wants to be of use.”
Fixing Hog Prices in Bushels.
Measuring the prices of a hog in
bushels of corn, instead of dollars,
is a form of applied mathematics us-
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture in keeping tab on pric-
es of farm products. Theoretically
100 pounds of live hogs should be
worth 13 bushels of corn. The ratio
varies. It is generally highest in the
corn belt and lowest in New England
the far South, and the far West. At
the pesent time the ratio is unusual-
ly narrow--that is, 100 pounds of hogs
is not worth as many bushels of corn
as usual. The department draws the
inference that during the next 12
months hogs will advance more than
corn or corn will decline more than
hogs. ’

NATIONWIDE FIGHT
AGAINST DISEASE
American Red Cross Will Have
Health Centers in All Parts
of United States.
snsm—
The American Red Cross has launch.
ed upon a nation wide campaign of
fighting disease and physical defect
‘among the American people. A new
and unique health institution has come
into being as the result of several
months’ study by the Red Cross Health
Service Department at National Head-
quarters,
Officials in charge of the department
predict that before long this new health
activity will be in actual operation all
over the country, and that the sign—
“American Red Cross Health Center”
—will become as familiar to the peo-
ple everywhere as are now the signs of
the telegraph companies.
Busy Long Before War.
The interest of the American Red
Cross in the fight against disease is
not, however, of recent origin. Long
before the war the organization began
this health service through its medical
units in disaster relief work and its
department of Town and County Nurs-
ing.” During the war and following
the armistice thousands of American
Red Cross officials have been fighting
disease in the war-stricken countries.
At the same time tens of thousands of
local Red Cross officials have been en-
gaged at home fighting disease, nota-
bly during the influenza epidemics.
The American Ped Cross has de-
termined that all this valuable experi-
ence in health service abroad and at
home shall not go to waste. So long
as there are a half a million people
dying yearly in this country from pre-
ventable causes, and so long as more
than one-third of the American chil-
dren and young people are victims of
physical defects, the Red Cross recog-
nizes the urgent need for continued
Red Cross health service at home.
How Organization Works.
The Red Cross Health Center is
governed by. business principles, ap-
plies business methods, and, in its
more simple form, can be established
and conducted by lay people.
It proceeds upon the demonstrated
fact that health is a ~ommodity that
can be bought and sold like brooms
and soap. Therefore, it establishes it-
self in a storeroom in the principal
business section of the community. It
displays its goods in the form of at
tractive health exhibits in its show
windows. It advertises constantly and
axtensively. And It uses every busi-
ness and social device to attract cus
tomers.
The Red Cross Health Center Is of
service to the sick in that it gives out
relinble and complete Information
about existing clinics, hospitals. sana-
toria and other institutions for the sick
and the defective; about available
nurses. both trained and practical;
about when to consult a physician and
why to shun the quack and his nos-
trums.
Teaching Disease Prevention.
The Red Cross Health Center Is.
however, of even greater service to the
well. It teaches people how to pre-
vent sickness and disease. This is done
in many interesting and atfractive
ways—first of all, by the distribution
of popular health literature and
through health lectures illustrated with
lantern slides or with health motion
picture films. Then special exhibits are
given, one after the other, on various
health subjects. Practical demonstra-
tions are made; also health playlets by
children to interest and instruct them-
selves and their elders. Classes are
organized in personal hygiene, home
care of the sick, first aid and in food
selection and preparation. Health
clubs, both for younger and older peo-
ole, are formed; also Little Mothers’
Leagues. Nutrition and growth clinics
ere conducted for children,
Already more than a hundred of
these Red Cross Health Centers are In
actual operation throughout the coun-
try. Many of them also conduct med-
teal clinics, but the one chief, out-
standing feature of the American Red
Cross Health Center is its health edu-
cation service which teaches well peo-
ple how to keep well.
FRENCH PRAISE FOR
OUR RED CROSS WORK
Lauding the work accomplished by
American philanthropy for war-
stricken France, Andre Tardieu, form-
er high commissioner from that na-
tion to the United States, in a recent
article widely commented on through-
eut the French press, says:
“The American Red Cross has ac-
complished a work which calls for
the heartfelt gratitude of every true
=renchman. In 1918 this great relief
organization spent in behalf of France
nearly 87,000,000 francs, and in 1919
its expenditures on charitable projects
in our country attained the tremen-
sous total of 171,000,000. It has re-
zently turned over to th® French relief
organizations huge stocks of sup-
plies whose value must be counted in
she hundreds of thousands of francs.
“Pifteen milllon American boys and
zirls, banded together in the Junior
Red Cross of America, are back of a
yrovement to establish the closest ties
between themselves and France's
younger generation through the char-
sable works they have financed, and
are now carrying out among our little
var sufferers.
“The bonds of friendship between
‘rance and America is cemented with
qtual admiration, respect and grati-
de.”

One Gram Radium Valued at $120,000
For Cancer Research.
One gram of radium, valued at
$120,000, but sealed in a tiny lead
tube for vest pocket carriage, was
' delivered by the United States Bureau
of Standards to Arthur Roeder, a rep-
resentative of New York State In-
| stitute for Malignant Diseases.
Tested by the bureau which certi-
| fied to its exact weight, it is said to
represent the largest single sale of
the element, and was the largest
|amount ever broughtto Washington
ifor certification. It will be used for
‘cancer research at the state’s institute.
and is part of a total quantity of 2 1-4

The Fairy Tale Teller.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt said in
a debate on divorce:
“Too many marriages are like that
of your Mrs. Lushington.
“As Mrs. Lushington tossed to and
fro one night the clock struck three,
and the voice of a little child came
plaintively from a erib.
| “Mammal” it said.
“Yes, love.” .
“Mamma, I can’t sleep. Won’t you
please tell me a fairy story, Mamma,
dear?”
“Wait, my love,” said Mrs. Lushing-
ton, “your father will soon be home
now, and he will tell us both one.”’—
