" Defects in System of Hardening Recruits By WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D. One of the logical results of the lack of adequate training in camp hygiene and physical condition among the men, and the insufficient power given to the sanitary and the medical corps , in the selection and the. equipmcnt'of' .camp sites, is the group of accidents and fatilities which invariably . occur when new troops are being ".broken in'' to camp life. Already the .papers ar 'busy with reports of. deaths, from pneumonia, from', heat prostration, from heart failure-on ambitions hikes and of at tacks of intestinal disturbance from unsuitable or tainted food, or from scanty or polluted water. ' Of course; a certain . amount of friction is inevitable in assemEling and transporting Such large bodies of .men, and. the total fatalities and sicknesses do not bulk very large in proportion to the mass. Indeed, the army officers, who, spurred by the' popular" outcry, , have been in specting . aiid publicly reporting the results of their own efficiency, quite plume themselves upon the fact that The Great Wall of China m " V; ' 'r " " larrjry '""""?'

Hut the point and the pity of it is that these dis tressing, fatalities were practically all preventable if proper care and intel ligence had been used, and, more over,. . 2, per cent represents just about "the average morbidity for the entire .'working population, men, women rand children, and is . nearly double what it should be (or a care fully, picked and' selected body of strong and vigorous men in the prime of life.

Already philanthropic organizations in -the border - states arc tending out re quests for funds to supply facilities for the soldiers, and to supplement their rations, while the . New York troops are reported to . have raised $15,000 among themselves by private subscription to- provide their camp with a resnectable hospital,, their present hospital accommodations (?) consisting of a couple of unscreened tents about a hundred and titty yards from the camp: stables, which is simply an invitation . to the plague Of fliea. - , ' These heat prostration and phys ical breakdown! of various sorts ap pear to.be chiefly, due to two pauses. One Is the inadequate and injudicious chlracter of the training which is given to the militia in times of peace. Though battlea! are usually fought outdoors - "and campaigns .conducted chiefly '- in the open country, . .nine- tenths ot tne training ot our citizen soldiers is given indobrs. Four-fifths of the ideal military training, which would also be-ideal for -health-and eflicieney in times of peace, should consist of short hikes, in small squads, which could be carried out on week ends and holidays at intervals all through, the spring, summer and autumn months. .These could be made sometimes carrying shelter. and cooking kit, sometimes to perma nent camps and route stations, some times by train, sometimes by motor, sometimes' by boat. In "this way the' men ' would not only greatly improve their health, but become Tfartiiliar with ' the eountfy, learrr how to take advantage ,of various'- forms' of transportation under military conditions, how fto feed, shelter and take care of them selves in the open, and how to pick tent sites and protect their beds from flood water. Most important of all, they would be kept' perpetually in reasonably , fit and ready physical condition, their feet hard, their wind good, their muscles springy, n So that wheh they went into the annual camp or were suddenly called out 'for-active service, they would be able to stand a reasonable amount of, forced - marching, or trench dig. ging, or roughing -it in' bad weather. without' tailing Jy the .wayside. Perhaps the most impressive work of human hands in all the world . is the Great Wall of China. It is a thing to dream about. It is a kind of dream in itself, for until one has seen it one, has only a half belief in its reality. It seems like an invention of the imagination rather .than an actual achievement of man. It belongs to Aladdin's world, in which impossible things were done by supernatural persons coming to the aid of the, favored human beings. The pyramids of Egypt are only piles of stone a few hundred feet square at the - base, but the great Chinese wall is- a fortification of masonry 1,500 miles long, averaging twenty-two feet in height and twenty feet in- width, along whose summit, as on an elevated roadway, protected by battlements, armies could march, hurrying this way or that, to reach the point of danger. Thousands , of square towers, placed a hundred yards , apart, strengthened the wall and gave access to.it from the inner side. It runs in serpentine curves over hills and moun tains and across valleys and ravines, bridging streams, skirting precipices, and keeping on ridges where possible. It was a literal war wall between two nations, or peoples. It divided China from Mongolia,, the land of eastern Asiatic civilization from that of central Asiatic barbarism. China protected iHelf with this astonishing wall upon the same principle by which Babylon and other ancient cities con structed their defenses, only an entire country was walled in instead of a single town. . Photographs of the great wall, made by Mr. R. C. Andrews, of the American Museum of Natural His tory, show in what a surprising state of preservation the work remains, at least over large sections of its long course. In some places, where it was made of brick, it is now only a range of mounds. Passing through a moun tainous district, you see it running, like the coils of a huge serpent, over New Fruits from Abroad Of all the remarkable plants in troduced in this country from foreign climes within the last few years, the melon tree is the most astonishing. . The government plant bureau says the output of this melon, tree' it destined to be one of the most im portant of our agricultural crops. ;The melons, sometimes weighing twenty pounds,' are egg-shaped, of a beautU ful'yellow color, and borne inan odd way, in one huge bunch close to the single, brarichlest stem, or trunk. : Growing-like a cornstalk, as one miaht sav. the tree-trunk (though a foot thick) may be cut clear through with a single blow of a machete the sugar cane knife of the tropics. It is customarily disposed of in this simple way after two or three years of growth, in order to make room for newly planted melon tree slips. , It s large palm-like leaves are used in the tropics to wrap about tough meat to make it tender. They have a milky juice, which contains a sub stance called "paoain" a natural digestive agent employed nowadays to a considerable extent in medicine. The fruit is described as delicious. To make it available for cultivation in the United States, north of the frost line, it is being crossed with a hardy related specie that yields fruit of no particular value. Incidentally, the plant-breeders are developing a race of melon trees that will bear male and female flowers on the same tree. This in itself is a very curious mat ter. For it appears that, as or dinarily grown .in the tropics, the mclcm trees are mostly males, or "drones" (as they are called), bearing no fruit. But now and then one is found that combines the sexes. - No ! great difficulty is expected , in de veloping a race of such trees, every one of which will be productive, as is the case' with the apple and the pear. Another valuable fruit newly intro duced by the plant bureau is. the "chayofe" relative df the cucum ber. It grows on a. climbing vine, but is much more prolific than the cu cumber. The vine is suitable for cul tivation on arbors and fences as far north as-the Carolinas, and furnishes a delicate and most desirable winter vegetable. .The fruit has a more deli cate flavor and texture, than the sum mer squash, and makes an admirable salad tor use with mayonnaise dress ing. An acre of land will yield many thousands of the fruits, averaging a pound apiece. The plant bureau has brought from northern China the much-prized "ju jube" a plump, shiny-brown fruit, which may be eaten fresh, dried or reserved in sugar. Several varieties iave been secured, among them the "bottle jujube," oblong in shape, which is made ready for table use by soaking it for a couple of months in weak spirits. Another varfety, small in size, very sweet and delicious when boiled with rice, is called "seedless," its kernel being so soft that, dissolving in the mouth, it is practically unnoticeable. A consignment of this kind of jujube is sent every year to the court at Peking. Then there is the "honey jujube," which, as prepared for eating, is much like the Persian date in appearance.

Tim great wall was begurt three centuries before the Christian era, but the parts which remain in fairly good condition were erected in the four teenth century A. D. In its time it seems to have been a satisfactory means of defense ajainst the. inva sions of the savage Tartars, and if its builders had been a people fond ofi ceieDrating tneir deeds ot arms n ballads and epic poems we might find in ancient Chinese literature thrilling stories of the defense of the great wall, when hordes of wild-riders as sailed it in vain. But Chinese literature is mostly de voted to the discussion and illustra tion of moral virtues, Jhe celebration of peaceful triumphs, and the lyrics of unambitious life. The wall was begun two or three centuries after the time oi Confucius, but this great na tional 'work did not change the cur rent of literary tradition from the channels in which he and other mor alists had set it flowing. Sometimes the emperors of China erected hunting lodges outside the wall, and, protected by strong military escorts, spent weeks beyond the fron tiers. Readers of De Quincey's ro mantic history of the flight of the Torgote Tartars from the borders of Russian back to their old mother, China, will recall the exciting experi ence of the Emperor Kien Leng when he had ventured several hundred miles beyond the wall, and by his lucky presence was the means of preserving his "returning children" from the avenging pursuit of their fierce ene mies, who had followed them thou sands of miles with unabated fury. But at last "the ancient children of the wilderness rested from their la bors and from great afflictions under the shadow of the Chinese Wall." The New Girl BY ADA PATTERSON. A woman who visits colleges and lectures to- girls told me about her the new type of girl. "She was a western girl, of course," said the lecturer. "Everything big and new and fine seems to come trom that quarter. She strode into my offict. Strode is the word. She was one of the biggest, newest, finest things I ever saw. She seemed all. white teeth and glowing eyes and shining hair and long, straight limbs. It was advice hour after the lecture and she had come to me for advice. 'I came to ask you how I can be of use in the world,' she said. "Just let the world look at you and admire your young strength and draw inspiration from it," the lecturer was stirred to answer, but didn't. Mid dle aged and prudent, she moved with caution. "And when 1 had finished my talk with the girl I found that she had done about the li.'f work of one woman, and was ready to under take another," she said. The girl had, helped her widowed mother to bring up the younger chil dren. She had. taken a claim and put out the crops and built the house with her own hands. She had helped put her brother through college. Things were going well at home. The chance had come, or she had made it, to go to college. The first year that question had risen in her heart and mind and reached her lips; "How can t be ot use to the world.' Not, Mow j can I advance myself?" Not, "What can I turn to make the most money?" Not, "How can I have a good time j the rest of my life?" Not, "How can i I hook a husband?" But, "How caul I be of use in the world?" I The girl, and the girls like her, are ! heralds of a new age. Ihe age of the broadening souls and quickening brains and deepening hearts of women. The era of the old-fashioned mother is departing. To the sweet faced, self-sacrificing, a little lower-than-the-angels mother, our greet ings and reverence and adieus. She is going. There will follow her a more spirited type, one of broader and wider vision anjl larger sympa thies. The woman whose life is bounded b.y her own doorstep on the north and her own backyard on the south and on the east and west by the pal ing fence is vanishing. And it is well. Many an epitaph might be truth full graven: "She was a good wife, and a good mother; and a stranger and enemy to the rest of mankind." She meant well, no doubt, Everyone does, more or less. But she peeped over the rim of her little world with eyes of distrust at all the rest of the world. She' harrowed life for herself and her family. She would have been greatly surprised had anyone told' her she was selfish, but she was selfish for her family. Family selfish ness is only a little less blame worthy than personal selfishness. It was never a beautiful thing. It made life small and mean. It sent the children of such a mother into the world mentally cross-eyed from looking' 'so' sharply ' after their own interests. They acquired near-sighted minds. : For-the devotion of such as she to the family' collectively and individ ually,, thanks and respect. But to the new mother, who gives thought also to the welfare of the town, the State, the nation greeting, for she shall mother the world. Tips on Fashion's Fancies The high Spanish coiffure is coming into fashion. Green and silver is a favorite color scheme for evening. Children are wearing little round hats of black velvet. Linen bags are embroidered with bright-colored beads. A belt of jet gives snap to some of the new coats for fall. Stripes and spots are everywhere used as dress trimmings. Wide frills are still good . on the blouse of crepe de chine. ' . Picot-edged collars are too pretty to be banished altogether. Black velvjt skirts are accompanied by blue velvet jackets. "Trotter" suits are often trimmed with nothing but "stitchery. A great deal of fur trimming will be, used on motor garments. New autumn hats have crowns ot velvet and transparent brims. Silver trimmings are in excellent taste for this season's black and white hats. , A fashion which has originated in England instead of in Paris, where most fashions hail from is that of tasseled handkerchiefs. The pancake veil suggests its own name very cleverly. It is a big, square veil of rather coarse, open silk mesh, the corners rounded rather than sharply right-angled, and a graceful leaf pattern runs all around the edge. Tn the exact center of the big square is the "pancake," a circle of finer mesh, with the border design in miniature, forming a wreath around the circle. The "pancake" rests upon the crown of a sailor-shaped sport hat, and the veil drapes itself grace fully in all directions, dropping to the shoulders.
