Missouri, Iowa and Illin ois. The camp is held for one month each summer un'cr lh? auspices of the War Department. The variou' cruises of instiuction have among their objectives the physic al, moral, and mental development of the American youth; the stim ulation of interest in Military Training as a benefit to the in dividual and as a vital asset to National D fen e; and the .teach ing of Americanism in its true sense including the privileges dut ies, and responsibilities of an Am erican Citizen. The trainees’ day is a busy one. | He sleeps in a tent—.Army fash- | ion, and must roll out at the break of dawn for 16 minutes of milit ary callisthenics.

Graduation from cne course with recommendation for further train ing qualifies the trainee to re turn the following year to the next higher course. fti addition to mental requirements the applicant must show evidence of good moral character and must F"*ss a phys.e al fitness examination.

His final speech before a large NAACP gathering was in Detroit, Mich., in 1937 when he spoke on the “Youth Night” of the association. In f that speech, he reviewed the record of militant action which had taken by the NAACP in years past, told of the difficulties and prejudices in the early days of the movement, and exhorted the youth councils of the NAACP to take up the battle and fight a good fierht. Mr. Spingarn was a life member of the association, having paid in many years ago the $500 membership fee. He did not, however regard this as a truly life membership which relieved him of all other contributions and throughout his life, he was a steady and substan tial contributor to the association’s ^ budget. Mrs. Amy Spingarn, his widow is also a life member of the NAACP. From his earliest days, Colonel Spingarn was a liberal on all public questions. Aside from his deep interest in the Negro, he was talented in many fields of endeavor. He was a distin guished critic and poet; the author of four volumes of critism and one vol ume of poems. He was a graduate of Columbia and Harvard universities, receiving his Ph.D. from the latter. He was head of the Department of Comparative Literature at Columbia university, resigning his post in 1911 by request after he had led a spirited f revolt involving the issue of academic freedom in behalf of a fellow profes sor. He was a contributor to encyclope dias and dictionaries and was an au thority in horticulture, especially on the flower cleinatic. He was recogniz ed as one of the leading, if not the leading authority on clematis in the world and possessed on his estate at Amenia the largest collection of cle matic in the world, 250 species. The Garden Clubs of America gave him a gold medal, the National Horticultural society awarded him the Jackson Daw son Medal. He was a member of the board of managers of the New Bota nical Garden. He lectured before many garden clubs in America and his standard fee for such services was a contribution to the NAACP by the garden club which engaged him to lecture. Tribute to Mrs. Spingarn’s militant and uncomprising leadership was paid by Walter White, secretary, as soon as news of his death was made public: “Mr. Spingarn was a leader ideally suited to the presidency of the N.A.A C.P.”, said Mr. White, “because deep in his heart he believed passionately in equal rights for all citizens irres pective of race, color or creed and nev er in all the twenty-one years it was my privilege to work with him did he deviate from that high principle.” Funeral services were private and were held in Dutchess county on July 27. Mr. Spingarn is survived by his widow; two sons, Stephen J. and Ed ward D. W.; two daughters, the Misses Hope and Honor; his mother and three brothers, one of whom, Arthur B., is chairman of the NAACP national leg al committee and a member of the board of directors. “Barley Queen” MISg KATHERINE CALLAWAY Miss Katherine Callaway, 21 ,< winner of the title, “Omaha’s Bar ley Queen ” ———0O0 Miss Katherine Callaway, 21, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.
