Gen. John A. Logan's Daughter Urges Army Training to Instruct Women Education For Women In Use of Small Nursing of Wounded, and Course In Telegraphy In Camp on the Order of the Plattsburg Encampment Advocated by Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker as Additional Unit In the Formation of a Practical National Defense. By MABEL E.

A CAMP for women, following the general Idea of the business men's camp, may be a reality next year If the Navy League uses Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker's suggestion for thla additional unit of preparedness. Mrs. Tucker, who Is a daughter of Gen. John A Logan, is serving on the nationar committee of the Navy League.

She Is most enthusiastic over the work that such a camp for women as sho advocates could accomplish, even though the ones in attendance were unable to stay longer than a month. "Women'B efforts to aid the Government should be said Mrs. Tucker when asked to explain her plan. "In a camp under Government Instruction much along this line of concentration could be accomplished. This does not mean that the camp would need to be conducted at Government expense, for those attending would pay for It, just as at the Plattsburg camp.

Ail Should Co-operate. "I do nott know of any relief society under 'which this camp could be managed a special organisation may be necessary but It Is Imperative that all women's patriotic societies should co-operate, "Perhaps tho work could be under the control of tho Surgeon General of tho Navy Department, with special skilled instructors In the uso of small arms, signaling, telegraphy, and first aid. "Tho camp must be conducted seriously to be successful, making the women of he country a practical help In time of war or other emergency. Women then will be equipped to render service In case of trouble. There will not be the delay In getting tho mechanism of relief ready, as -vas the cuso, for example, with the English women.

There we noted the situation of many relief societies, all well-organized and willing to do any amount of work, but- lacking general cooperation. A large body of American women trained in a summer camp would mean an absence of that loss of effort that always marks training after the emergency has come. "Much training takes too long a time to be practical for the women with household Interests. Only young women go Into nursing careers, as a usual thing. Hence, a camp could be intensely practical to the older women of the conutry those who can't give much time to It, yet wlBh to be prepared.

Would Give Valuable Aid. "During the civil war, as you know, men were Invalided soldiers Incapacitated from service by Be Your Own Efficiency Expert Attack the Bete Noir of Your Household Task, Study It Well and Smooth Out the Causes Which Make It Unpleasant. YEAR In and year out we hear somij housekeeper "Oh. I don't mind cooking, but I never flnlih cleaning that's mv hardest work." And perhaps we hear some other equally faithful housekeeper say, "Oh, IJtke to dust and' clean and make tho rooms immaculate, but I hate standing over a hot stove." A third woman may be heard to declare, "I don't mind anything but the washingbut thut Is the most hateful and disagreeable of all my work." And so It goes, each woman having a particular bete noir. as it were, or a kind of evil household genii which holds her In hlB grip and from which she seems unable to escape, or conquer.

When a similar situation arises in business, tho head of the firm sets to work to solvo that one particular problem, spending all his energy to thut effect, studying. Investigating, and taking tho advice of others. If ho has monev enough, he may call In some efficiency engineer to assist him in solving his problem, but any way. he gets It solved. Whv does not the woman In the home follow the same practical plan? If there Is ono particular task of housework that Is more difficult, more drudelfylng, why not sit down and studv that task untU It has been solved so that It no longer presents the difficulties.

Suppose It Is cooking. Are there not different fuels or utensils or methods of cooking which will make It less burdensome, and require less tlmo standing over the stove? If It Is cleanliiB, is there no more efficient method, no improved tool, that will here too lessen both time and effort? Suppose it Is the same old task of washing dishes. Can it not bo None In a better, easier way? Has any one of the women who complained about Its drudgery sat down and studied Just how she did It, what steps sho took, what motions she mode, what tools sho used? I venture to say that tho woman who has thus analyzed her tasK will be doing It better than before. For Instance, she might nnd out a number of things, as did the writer when sho washed dishes three months In succession by every variety of method and mechanical dishwasher. She found out, for Instance, that the hclghth and depth of the sink, the position of the dralnboard, all Influenced either for or ngalnst dishwashing efficiency.

By stacking the dishes to the right, by using an Improved plate-scraper, and by having the draining shelf to the left, a great deal of tlmo wag saved. By placing the laylng-away shelves adjacent to the sink, Jt was found unnecessary to carry a tray-load of dishes. Hy pouring scalding water on the dishes they did not need to be dried hy hand. Other interesting tacts were brought out which resulted in an entire change In method of washing WINSLOW. hm- The Government honi.niU.8 reJT'ev" their care In nospitals.

Now in case of war nSStlH0 hav5 a wurwTri one. of th8 summer camps would be valuable In caring; for these Invalided men. "Hero Is still another way in which the women could be useful.

Dur-ing the civil war my mothAr sked two teachers to come to the homo VJ. her tt' companions. These two women and my mother had almost daily practice with the pistol, and though they never had any occasion to uso It, their reputation as good shots was protection In itself.

"The course would be too short to give mufh more than a first a'd Instruction in nursln.T. Anyway, other organizations specialize In it. and they could fill the demand for ox-pcrlenced nurses In case of war. The idea Is to give a certain amount of preparednr to every woman In the country Instead of an extensive training to only a few. I suggested thft month of October as one most suitable for the wom-ftn camp.

That is tho month whn one feel most like living out-of-doors. The warm weather over and tho nights are cool and pleasant. The placo for the camp would have to bp determined by those In charge. Vou will notice that merely said 'lorao central and convenient This might be Chicago or somo place on the Atlantic coast. If the camp idea were adopted it might be necessary to have more than one.

"The routine of tho Plattsburg camp should bo followed as closely as possible. This alone would be beneficial to tho women. Thoy would gain Invaluable lessons In system. In thoroughness. In sanitation.

If they had tho same rations aa men they would be taught something of tne relative value of foods and how to obtain the greatest amount of nutriment in the most concentrated lorm. Thejr would learn to discard unnecessary foods from the diet. This training alone would repay tho housewife f6r the course. een though the country never takes part in another war.

"In place of so much handicraft In girls' school camps, why not have courses in signaling and telegraphy? Why not make rifle and pistol shooting a required study in the high schools? These all would serve as preparatory training' for the woman's camp, which would do more intensive work along the same Bnes.

It Is Imperatlvo that all courses be conducted under the same- system. If national officers of patriotic organizations and teachers who would have charge of such courses In the schools attend the first sessions of the camp, the some system could be adopted universally. "After all. the chief justification for the Woman's Camp is that all American women want to do. They are all patriotic t.y nature.

Have you ever heard a woman speak against th nation? "Granted that women ore naturally patriotic, and willing to help In a crisis, one cones to face tho fact that they lick training practical training at such a time. To be sure, women of means arc ready to offer everything they have for their country, but we don't want service and money wasted In an effort of no value.

What They Say About Us Pertinent Interests of Women As Viewed By Editorial Writers of the Newspapers. Drill In School.

Now that Mayor Mltchel has spoken In favor of the Idea of having schoolboys drilled, It may be pointed out that a systematic course of military drill in the public schools would not only lay the foundation for future military efficiency among citizens, but would also be of benefit to the scholars themselves. Soldier material trained to military discipline, to the routine motions and tasks, of the fighting man, is lacking. Months of drill would bo necessary In order to give nn army raised among us the ability to perform rapidly and reliaDly the simplest necessary operations. If tho citizens of today destined to compose a volunteer army In case of emergency had been drilled In boyhood, months of preliminary trulnlng under the drill sergeant could be cut down to a few days. At the same time the habit of obelng orders promptly and witnout grumbling, as drill requires, would be a blessing to the ordinary boy, who does not nowadays learn very thoroughly from his teachers the bitter and wholesome lesson when to obey.

For learning that lesson he would be a happier and more useful person throughout his life. The reason for drilling citizens young Is, therefore, a double one. New York Evening Sun. Berlin Fashions. A dispatch from Berlin to our neighbor the Times casts an interesting sidelight on the isolation of that community, to say nothing of the iron hand w-hlch regulates there what In England, for instance, is left to moral suasion.

For the past year I have been troubled with dreams of an unusual-nature; such as being tried for murder, reaching the gallowB and experiencing death. I have a very clear conscience, and yet these escape the argus-eyed government, which Is taking steps to prevent the resultant squandering of cloth, particularly cotton material. As a first step all the papers are printing an inrptred warning against wide skirts by a "highly placed personage," which Is circulated by the semi-official Wolff Agency. This inspired warning, to sugar coat Its message to the sartorially interested, begins with congratulations on the fact that "our fashion Is successfully striving to freo Itself from French and English leading strings and pave its own Even the "highly placed personage" is unaware, apparently, that wide skirts were decreed by the dressmakers of Paris almost simultaneously with the outbreak of' the war, a year ago; that Just a year ago the controversy over tho change to th more ample garment now disturbing Berlin raged through London, ri-oduced Innumerable letters to the Times and resulted finally In a national wave of economy which has but recently driven Worth ncross the Channel. Is it possible that the Berlin public was purposely and officially deprived of the news of tho new fashion In skirts nnd of the moral struggle, lasting over the better part of a year which It oc-ciflcnd In London? If so, it might help the government If Its censors should now publicly confess to the suppression and warn the patriotic "Berliner Damen" that their dressmakers are grossly deceiving them regarding the origin and novelty of this "purely German" style.

But then It is much easier, in Germany, to forbid than to reason. "The wholesale suit trade." says tho Inspired warning, "would do well, particularly so far as cotton goods are concerned, to come to an understanding with the governmental authorities before the government finds Itself compelled, through a suitable warning, or. If necessary, by regulation, to see to it that Its measures are not set nt naught." Clearly the dread "verboten" Is foreshadowed. Evening Sun, N. Y.
