Statements that home entertainments and recreation provided for soldiers and sailors In cities and towns near Army and Navy camps are impairing the ef flciency of the men are emphatically denied by Raymond J3. Fosdica, cnair man of the War and Navy Departments' commissions on training camp activi ties. In a statement received by Charles Lloyd. Portland representative of the commission, he characterized as a direct contradiction of the Govern ment's policy the admonition that "the time has come for the public to 'keen hands ofr our men In service. "That time has no more come," Mr. Fosdick declared, "than the time has come to stop conserving wheat or sup porting Government loans. Indeed, the preservation of normal social relation ships between the public and the men in training is an essential part of our military programme. The statements calling forth Mr. Fosdlck's denial were made In an edi torial published in the May Issue of a prominent magazine. The editorial declared that the entertainment of sol diers and sailors In private homes of war camp communities Is proving det rlmental to the men In service and that over 90 per cent of the social functions provided for the men outside oft the camps have taken the form of dances, which, kept up till all hours, sent them back to camp impaired in physical vitality. It concluded with the injunction that the time had come for the public to keep its hands off the men in service. It is not true that the entertain ment of the men in service in private homes has resulted to the detriment of the men instead of to their bene fit,' " Mr. Fosdick asserted. "There has been no change in the attitude at the Government "toward home hospitality. In fact, with hundreds of thousands of men pouring into the training camps. trie Government desires more than ever that the people of America continue to offer to them the wholesome Influ ences of their homes. "Naturally, in the entertainment of thousands of men in private homes, there have been some instances of hos pitality overdone or taken advantage of. Some women, unwisely, have flooded soldiers vith sweets and un necessary 'comforts' and have written doleful letters to their boys These things and the 'godmother' idea are justifiably discouraged. But a sharp distinction should be drawn between pink-tea sentimentality toward the soldier and the organized hospitality which is supervised by the Government "The recreation provided in camp communities Is not a hit-or-miss af fair. Known all over as the war camp community service, it was long ago established by the Recreation Assocla tlon of America, at the request of the War and Navy departments. This town hospitality for the men In service is mobilized by nearly 200 trained work ers. It is supervised by the War and Navy departments through the Com mission on Training Camp Activities, which is just as responsible for the activities outside of the camps as for those of the Y. M. C. A-. Knights of Columbus and other agencies inside the camps." ROAD FUNDS ARE LACKING Work on Olyrapia Highway Sus pended Until Next Year. HOQUIAM, Wash.. May 12. (Spe cial.) Lack of funds has made it im possible to complete the McCleary cut off section of the Oylmpic Highway this year, according to announcement by the State Highway Commission. The link in the highway between Olympia and McCleary Is complete except for a section of about two miles just east of McCleary. It was thought by state officials that the money available from the state, ap propriation would be sufficient to com plete the connecting link, but heavy rock work increased the cost. Wage Increases and other costs of road work added their part toward exhausting the available funds. for the year 1918. The commencement exercises will be held Friday evening. May 31.

Fifty graduates will complete their work at the Chehalis High School WATCH NERVOUS CHILDREN St. Vitus' dance Is a disease easier to prevent than to cure. Nervous chil dren should therefore be carefully watched for symptoms of the approach of this disease. Long before the child becomes awk ward and begins dropping things there Is a period in which the appetite is fickle and the patient is tired and list less. The jerking movements charac teristic of the disease come much later. In the early stages a good tonlo for ths blood and nerves will go far toward preventing the development of the dis ease. But the tonic must be free from alcohol and opiates, for these make the nervous condition much worse.
