GIRLS ARE MARCHING"-
iliatest Outburst of Feminine Patriotism Evi
& dences Itself in Plans for Establishment
M' of Woman's Military Camp
K ' -
iMirX'A.VE you ordered your uniform yet? Have you reserved your quarters In
f'$u. camp? Arc you coins to forward march, to learn to right about faco and
- dd'perhaps an Americanized version of the goose-step?
What, you haVen't heard anything about It? You don't know that plana
are under way for the establishment of a woman's I'lattsuurg? Well, It's truo.
Bhoiild the war Rod sound his devastating trumpet In this part of tho world,
ljve) too, are going to be sclfntlflcnlly prepared.
the woman's section of tho Kavy League, In co-operation with the Kod
Cross nnd the L'nlted States Army. Is planning a strictly feminine military
tamp, to bo established tho 1st of May outside of Washington In tho picturesque
jtreelnctfl of Chevy Chase, whero Presidents nnd Senators and others among
those famous have been wont to play golf and tonnlo.
Already hundreds of women are expressing their eagerness to demonstrate
their willingness to serve their country nnd to add to their lives tho new experi
ence of having been a pupil In tho first mllltniy school in tho world for women.
The school is to bo a camp conducted on strictly military lines. Signal
work, military drilling, dietetics, first-aid Instructions, "chauffeuslng," tho art of
BUrglcal dressing, food conservation in tlmo of war all this and moro will be
part of tho curriculum.
Eligibility Is confined to native-born women over 18 years of age. A
Uniform becoming, it Is to bo hoped is In tho prorcss of design nt present
and will lxs compulsory. Tho residents of the camp will sleep in tents. Those
women living near tho camp that Is
nearby cities are being requested to bo "day scholars" and to go homo nt
night in order to make room for tho women from far-away cities, who also,
patriotically, want to go down ami train.
The expenses arc almost negligible a dollar enrolment fee nnd n dollar u day
for maintenance and quarters. The charge for tho uniform will be low, it Is said.
A certificate of health will bo required from those desiring to reside In tho camp.
II is expected to bo under way by May 1, and, because tho courso only lasts
two weeks, a ronsldernblo army of women ought to bo trained "soldiers," or
reservists, nt any rate, by the time summer Is over.
If any of my readers 'desire further information, I will gladly on receipt of
a stamped, self-addressed envelope put them In the way of getting It.
Running the Gamut
With kissing and spooning bnrred from Simmons Collego and a course In
lovo and marriage having been established recently at Oouchcr, what Is a poor
ffirl to do, anyway?
A Change for the Better?
Tho modern girl, says a writer In a current magazine, Is not the crcaturo
of sugar and spire that she spneo was; Instead sho is "a melange of tho higher
criticism and the science of eugenics, and tho doctrlno of individualism and
BUffragism and trnnscendental philosophy, and social service and every new
theory baked or half-baked that trembles In tho nlr about us. Sho Is a living,
palpitating, feminine Fourth of July. Sho Is tho last word In modernity. Sho
Is the newest product of evolution. She's a phenomenon and a problem, and tho
most vital social question of today is not what wo ure golngto do with her,
but what she Is going to do to us." M'LISS.

Meaning of Sundog
"Referring to your cxpanatlon of tho
term 'sundog,' I think you are mistaken
as to what meaning Is attached to the
term generally in this country. I have
lived In several States, both north and
south, and hnvo never heard tho term
sundog" applied to the circles around tha
sun or moon caused by mist In tho upper
regions of the atmosphere. They are
usually called by country people simply
ring around tho sun or moon," as tha
caso may be, and aro called sometimes
lialus. I have heard tho term 'sundog'
generally applied to the bright spots that
Appear on one sido or on both Bides of the
sun at a distance from it before sunset
or" after sunrise In cold weather when
there Is a mist of fine particles of Ice
floating In theair These appearances are
common In the far north nnd are called
'nundogs' and sometimes aro called 'mock
suns,' as they look as if a second sun, or
sometimes several, were shining through
the frosty air at a distance from the real
sun. I am Informed by a Canadian friend
that they are also called 'sundogs' In
Canada. I observed the phenomena twice
during a recent cold snap here, once In
the arte, noon and once In the morning
They are caused. I believe, by refraction
pf the light of the sun through the
particles, of fine Ice at regular angles.
They are not Icicles, but bright spots. I
would not undertake to say that the term
'sundog is never used to mean circles
ground the sun or moon In any places or
by any peoples, but I do not believe that
the meaning generally attached to It.

Baby's Milk
Don't make ue of the vacuum bottle to
keep the baby's milk warm until ready to
use In the night. It Is a makeshift way
to Uo and results are dangerous. In tho
first place, the milk will sour, because
your doctor will tell you that at a warm
temperature the souring bacilli aro ready
to generate or the milk will be Indigest
ible, for the heat hardens tho casein ele
ment In tho milk.
Do You Know This?
Place tho milk or cream In the cereal
bowl and pour tho cereal In this, Instead
of tho usual way. You will find that the
food will remain flaky and won't become
soggy.

IT IS A CRYING SHAME TO KEEP
YOUR BABY UP AFTER DARK
By WILLIAM
Till aver.igo healthy adult should bo
ablo to hold his breath 40 seconds by
the watch. If ho can't, his heart or his
metabolism Is at fault. Any ono can hold
the breath two minutes by first breathing
a little moro deeply, not forcibly, and nt
tho ordinary rate of in or 18 times a min
ute for two minutes nnd then timing with
tho watch.
A good, solid, llfcllko young baby can
Just about frighten his mother to death
holding his breath. Generally ho is mad
about something and ho proceeds to show
her what blue blood there Is In his noIiih
lie holds his brenth till ho turns lilue. be
comes limp, nearly unconscious. Then tho
spasm of tho larynx relaxes, breathing be
gins, and though a little done up by tho
test, the youngster Is all right until some
thing happens again to rouse his Indig
nation. But It Is no Joke for tho young mother
when the baby cuts this alarming caper.
Sho wants to know what to do.
If such attacks nro frequent or severe,
there may be somo underlying disturb
ance of health accountable. Thus, rickets
develops In a good many babies who have
fits of crying themselves bluo In tho face.
Tho food Is wrong.
If the baby holds his breath an un
reasonable length of time say n minute,
slap his faco with a cold, wet towel, or
dash cold water upon tho faco from a
glass. If you are afraid he Is going to
have a convulsion, place him .In a hot
bath very hot, but not hot enough to
burn and continue sprinkling tho faco
with cold water or apply n cloth wet
with cold water to thu forehead.
If the baby cries from temper that Is,
if the breath-holding stunt is enacted
under circumstances which show It Is a
case of temper, dlsolpllne Is tho remedy.
You must train him to do ns you wish,
when you wish, and when It should be
dono for a normal baby, as In feeding,
bedtime and other regular habits. If you
allow the baby to make tho rules for you,
then you must expect to suffer for your
lack of discipline.
It Is nothing less than a crying shame,
literally as well as figuratively, that to
many babies under four years of age are
permitted to be up after dark. Parents
who keep babies awake until late in the
evening ought to be taught by tho law
what a baby'a rights aro. One of the
cruelest spectacles Imaginable Is a poor
little babe-ln-arms at a movie show at
night. Such a baby usually receives
soothing syrup or whisky on slight provo
cation, and grows up to be a neurotic or
moron what else could you expect?

DRY CLEANER
The Home Garden for
Pleasure and Profit
By JOHN BARTRAM
The homo vegetable garden can be ft,
help ns well as a hobby. If you Just
like the great outdoors, there Is no more
satisfying way of expressing yourself In
the terms of nnturo than running a gar
den flower or vegetable. It docs not mat
ter, for each has Its fascination nnd In
struction, If you hnvo the modern Idea
of efficiency, which Is defined ns reduc
tion of wnste, either of motion or
of production, to a minimum, you
can translate your efforts Into terms
of profit. Tho fruits of even a tiny plot
of ground, well worked, planned and
tilled, will materially reduce the bill at
tho green grocer's during tho spring nnd
summer months. If you have more than
a pocket handkerchief of back yard to
work In; If you nre a suburbanlto with
nn available area of 100 square feel, you
can havo crops that wilt keep a family
of four or flvo In nil ogetablcs, except
potatoes, throughout the cycle of tho
year.
This is not theory. It Is not the Iri
descent vision of the book gardeners. It
is not a restatement of tho glowing ad
vertisements of somo of the seed dealers
nnd nurserymen. It Is cold, hard fact
Ask any commuter who haH even n half
way tolerable garden, and ho will tell
you that his garden Is worth white from
the standpoint of commercial calculation
Tho vegetables, fresh with tho morning
dow and flavored with a savor that Is
never found In those tbnt como from the
huckster's wngou or the nearby grocery
store, cost money because they aro first
uunllty. Tho (lowers feed tho spiritual
sido of man's nnturo. Without the vision
tho spirit pcrlshcth.
Tho garden Is ono of tho compensa
tions of commutation. Tho man who has
to walk half a mllo to a mile, rising ex
tra early to get tho 7:20, when ho might
just bo considering how hard it Is to
got out of bed at that tlmo If he lived In
town, would not mako tho exchange
from town to country unless It was a
least n fail- ono. Tho man In tho out
lying sections of tho city who has n porch
or a small front lawn or a falr-slzcd city
backyard would not uso tlmo nnd cnorgy
In raising his flowers and, maybe, garden
"sass" If ho did not find tho tlmo well
spont. Evon undor urban conditions It is
posslblo to hnvo flowers of many va
rieties throughout tho house and to have
certain vegetables fresh from the vines
for tho tablo.
If you Uvo In tho suburbs, then you
should hnvo a garden, for two reasons.
One Is thnt you can rcduco tho high cost
of living very definitely. The other Is
that you will havo a health-giving. Inter
esting hobby for your sparo tlmo. You
will becomo economically self-sufficient so
far as tho extent of your ground nnd
lolsuro nltow. You will have prlmo prod
ucts nt no cost beyond tho expenditure of
your surplus energy.
If you havo any sort of backyard at
all, you can have an abundance of flow
ers,, or, If you elect, you enn havo such
products as peas, lima beans, tomatoes,
wax beans, string beans, herbs for all
purposes and a few other fresh green
thlngti. And, properly tilled, even a small
patch will yield onougji to keep nn aver
ago family plentifully supplied over the
fresh vegetable season. This In tho city,
mind you!
Tho recreation and exercise, of courso,
go with city ns well as suburban garden
ing And tho backyard will bloom with
llnwers or bear "truck" instead of bolng
unsightly from rcglcct or uninteresting
with a little grass.

The entire edition of Pictorial Review for April
has already been exhausted!
This is mainly due to two things: First, the
unprecedented demand for the next-to-the-last
instalment of Kathleen Morris's sensational success
"The Heart of Rachael." And second, the
superb pages in color showing the cream of the
advance Easter styles.
The wonderful reception our Easter Fashion
number has met with is, naturally, much appreci
ated and we sincerely hope that all of our good
friends may be able to secure copies. This is by
no means certain however. The only April copies
to be obtained anywhere are a scattering few in the
hands of the newsdealers throughout the country.
We must especially request you not to send us
subscriptions to Pictorial Review to begin with the
April issue, as we are not in a position to supply
them. The May number will be the first we can
send you. i
If the first newsdealer you go to can't supply
you with an April issue, please try another. It is
well worth while.
