Almost every kind of blanket was in the collection, which numbered nearly 4,000. Army blankets, white woolly blankets, rugs, coverlets, native blankets from Chile, and oadded blankets from Japan lay in closely folded piles. The socks, many of them hand knitted, number nearly 12,000 pairs, and in cluded beautifully made bed socks.

The wonderfully cool weather for the many weeks in Jun and July gave the strangers a wrong impres sion of the climate, and as many of them as could hnd accommodations. took comfortable houses or apart ments, settled down to housekeeping and brought the families on. The most of these have been busy getting away this month, tor even the weath er bureau disclaims any knowledge of previous heat equal to it, so it is little matter what the oldest inhabi tant says about it.
