WOULD PROVIDE HOMES FOR ALL U. S. SENATORS

Agitation Started to Get Each State to Erect Twd Houses in Washington

STATE TO OWN THEM

Training Camps To Be Established

Sandstone Suggested as Suitable Ohio’s Homes and Marble for Vermont

Washington, April 7—An agitation has been started here looking toward the housing at state expense of the two United States senators from Ohio and each of the other states. The plan, in brief, is that each state in the union should erect in the city of Washington a home for each of its senators. Concretely applied, the suggestion does not mean that home should be built and presented to Senator Atlee Pomerene and Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio, but that a home should be erected for each of the two senators from Ohio which will always remain the property of the state and be occupied by the men honored by election to this great office by the state. Claim Pay Inadequate It is a matter of cold fact, advocates of the plan say, that it is absolutely impossible for a senator to live in Washington on the present salary of $7500 a year. Many senators have private incomes and this is considered desirable under existing conditions. Many who do not have private incomes add to their salaries by literary endeavours, by lecturing and sometimes by keeping in touch witji their former business. But it is contended that this should not be necessary and that if a senator lives up to the moral obligations to the state and nation his entire time must be given to his duties. Details of Plan A part of the plan—some may consider ic a dream, but the fact remains that it is being ppt forward for serious consideration—is that these 96 senatorial homes will be more than piles of marble, brick or wood, and will, represent all that is best in a state whether of history, tradition or resources. California, for instance, might erect for each of her senators a replica of the famous old California mission houses. Vermont would be expected to erect two residences of exquisite Vermont marble. Ohio might use Ohio sandstone in building her two senatorial homes and so on down the

line.

The detailed carrying out of the

Offering to the youth of the nation a month of military instruction and carefully supervised physical training the War Department has practically completed plans for the establishment ihis summer of a number of Citizens’ Military Training Camps. These camps, which are in furtherance of the policy of volunteer military training strongly endorsed by President Harding, will be so apportioned that any young man who is eligible to attend them may find one within reasonable distance of his home. The present plan allots at least one camp to each Corps Area. Special emphasis will be laid by the War Department this year on the enrollment of candidates for the Camps giving basic training which will be open to men up to thirty-five years of age who have, had little or no military training and desire practical instruc-

tion in the field.

Attendance will be without cost to the candidate. Upon being accepted for enrollment he will proceed to the camp designated and upon his arrival will be reimbursed for the amount of his traveling expenses. All instruction will be given at permanently established camps whehre the candidate will find selected Regular Army instructors prepared to train him in the elementary duties of a soldier. Physical training will occupy a permanent place in the program and Medical Officers, Chaplains and Hostesses will be in constant attendance. No education qualifications are required but the applicant’s intelligence must be such as will permit him to understand and obey commands. Applications for these camps should be made to the Corps Area Commander in which the camp is located. The Headquarters of the Nine Corps Areas and the states allotted to them are as follows: First Corps Area, Boston, Mass., Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut; Second Corps Area, Governors Island, N. Y., New Yoric, New Jersey and Delaware; Third Corps Area, Ft. Howard, Md., Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and District of Columbia; Fourth Corps Area, Ft. McPherson, Ga., North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana; Fifth Corps Area, Ft. Ben

The interior 1 jamin Harrison, Ind., Ohio, Indiana, fittings and furnishings of each home i West Virginia and Kentucky; Sixth would all harmonize with the intended t Corps Area, Ft. Sheridan, 111., Illinois, ideal and either by purchase or by I Michigan and Wisconsin; Seventh gift there would be collected items ‘ Corps Area, Ft.

In and Arkansas; Eighth Corps Area, short, the final result would repre- Presidio, San Francisco, Calif., Calisent, in every respect the ideals of fornia, Oregon, Washington, Montana,

the present, past and future of all the

people in the state.

Practically all the states in the union are represented in the names of streets and avenues in Washington. It is suggested that the senatorial homes for each state be erected on the street or avenue bearing the same name as that state, insofar as it is practicable to do ,so. Among the avenues and streets named after states are the following: Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Florida, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Georgia, Wyoming, Oregon, New Hampshire, California, Wisconsin, Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and many others.

BERLIN SECRET CAFES

Berlin—Huge profits are being made in Berlin by people who run secret restaurants. Two of them were discovered by the police the other night. One was kept by a shoemaker and the other by a bank clerk, who were each found to be providing a small party of merry-makers with champagne at a fabulous price.

BIG GAME HUNTERS ARE PLANNING FOR THE LONG TRAIL THAT LEADS TO YUKON’S UNSPOILED HUNTING FIELDS

DEAR*? LIKE THIS HUNTERS TO THE YUKON

Are you planning to hunt big game in the Yukon this season? If so, have you engaged your guides? If you have not, lose no more time in doing so. Guides are none too plentiful in the far north and both guides and transportation are being booked by what promises to be the biggest bunch of hunters that have gone to the Yukon. A report has just come out from one of Yukon’s best known guides, to the effect that caribou are more plentiful than heretofore known and are ranging in great droves. The two principal districts are the Kluane-White River and the McMillan River sections, the start for either is made from White Horse. McMillan district is reached by an all-water route, the White

River wholly by land. Outfitting may be done at White Horse. Some hunters bring along their own ammunition and bedding, but this is unnecessary as Yukon outfitters know to a “T” just what is needed and are ready to furnish it. Both districts are governed by the same laws, and licenses, costing $100, are

obtainable at White Horse. From fifty to sixty days must be

allowed for the hunting trip. Anything under fifty days demands a pace that precludes choice of heads. In addition to caribou, moose, bear and sheep, goats may be gotten by making short side trips to the particular haunts they favor'. Plenty of good fishing may be enjoyed on

either trip.

Yukon guides have no superiors, but like other choice things, their

number is limited, intending parties should contract for services as early as possible. Hunting in the Yukon is an expensive sport, but this makes it all the more attractive to the sportsmen who can afford it. The limited number of hunters who visit this vast, rich country are sure to get good bags. Head guides command from $12 to $15 per day, while second guides, cooks, canoe men and helpers get from $7 to $10 per day. The cost of a Yukon hunting trip will total from $3,500 to $5,000 for a fifty day trip. This sum is, of course, e v clusive of cost of transportation in reaching the Yukon, which includes a three and one-half days’ voyage by way of the Inside Passage along the coast of British Columbia.

FIVE POINTS

COLE WANTS DATA ON 37TH DIVISION

Columbus, Ohio, April 6—Ralph D. Cole, Historian of the 37th Division, today issued an appeal to all former members of the Division to immediately get. in touch with their unit historians or former unit commanders with a view to furnishing them all data and information that could possibly be of use to the preparation of the History of the Division. Colonel Cole emphasized the fact that the success of the history would depend upon the ability of the historians in charge of preparing the work to get the material facts that will enable them to prepare a complete and comprehensive account of the activities of the Buckeye Division during the World War. The contract for publishing the volume has been awarded to Wynkeep Hallenbeck Crawford' Company of New Y"ork City, and the book is expected to come from the press about October 1st, 1921. Plans for preparation -of the history of the Thirty-Seventh or Buckeye Division during the World War have been definitely formulated. About thirty members of the divisional association, including the executive council, the unit historians and former unit commanders, attended the meeting at which the contract for publishing the volume was signed. It was also agreed that the 166th Infantry, Ohio’s contribution to the famous Rainbow Division, should be included in the history. This regiment was the old Fourth infantry and was represented here by Adjutant

General George Florence, who served with the unit hs second in command to Benson W. Hough, now a member of the Supreme Court of Ohio. Work of gathering the data and material has been in progress for some time under the direction of Col. Ralph D. Cole of Findley, the division historian. Col. Cole will continue to remain in charge of the work, while Captain W. C. Howells, Columbus correspondent of the Cleveland Plain Dealer was chosen Assistant historian and charged with the responsibility of writing the history. Howells served with the Division as a Captain from the time of its formation until detailed to the Army School of the Line ! after graduation he was assigned to general staff duty. Col. Cole was appointed to his present duty by Maj. Gen. Charles Farnsworth, the former division commander while the Ohio troops were still on the firing line. Since that time he has been engaged in collection of photo-

graphs and material for the book. The legislature has appropriated money to cover office expenses, transp artation, —and clerica 1 work; which will Constitute virtually the only expenses to the association of preparing the volume. Aside from the executive force all the v/ork on the book will be done by volunteers. Cen. William V. McMaken, Toledo, President of the Association, has announced that the Work will go forward immediately and urged that all who served with the division in any capacity and at any time co-operate with those who are gathering the facts. He particularly urged that those who are in possession of notes, diaries or of interesting letters to give the historians the benefit of them. ‘“We are engaged in a great and laudable enterprize,” Col. Cole declared in discussing the project. And the importance of the work is evidenced by the fact that members of the association came from all parts of the state to attend the conference at which the plan for writing the history was agreed upon.” “We are going to make this history faithful and complete record of the ecomulishments of the division; it is to be a monumental work in the true sense of the.word, and is a big, dignified undertaking that will be carried out in this spirit.” When the work is finally done, we shall have a book that will be an addition to the historical lore of this state. The legislature has been generous in furnishing slight financial aid that we have asked, and those who are devoting their time and efforts to working out our program will be proud to make the contribution.” Those Who Attended the Conference Gen. Charles X. Zimerman, Col. Dudley J. Hard, Colonel L. S. Conelly, Col John R. McQuigg and Lieut. Robert Izant, all of Cleveland; Col. F. S. Van Gordon, Warren; Major Wade C. Christy, Youngstown; Col. Gilson D. Light, Toledo; Col. Frank C. Gerlach, Wooster; Lt. Col. John A. Harley, Lima; Major Paul Meek, Col. H. M. Bush, Gen. John C. Speaks, Congressman-elect; Lt. Col. Chalmers R. Wilson, Major E. P. Lawior. Major A. W. Reynolds, Lieut. Arthur McArthur,. Columbus and Col P. Lincoln Mitchell, Cincinnati. Historial Association headquarters have been established at the State House, Columbus, Ohio, where a clerical force is now engaged in assembling the material for the publication.

Ohioans Form Society to Keep Green Memory of Old School Days

FAMOUS CANADIAN AVIATOR IS KILLED

Captain Leroyer Blazed Trail for American Army Airplanes to Alaska

Ottawa, April 6—Captain J. A. Leroyer, who blazed the trail through the northwest for the American army airplanes that flew to Alaska last year was killed in an airplane accident at Camp Borden, according to reports received here. Captain Leroyer made an enviable reebrd in the Canadian air force in the war and was officially credited with crashing seven enemy planes. He leaves a wife and two children.

Columbus, O., April 7—Men and women, some middle aged and some old, who years ago in country and city school houses read in childish voices from McGuffey’s Reader famous old classics of the school room, have formed an unusual society here. They call it the “McGuffey’s Reader Society,” and members of it are bound together by one common tie—love and reverence for the old time school readers. As there are Shakespeare societies and Browning societies, and organizations of men and women who seriously attempt to study the works of the great poets and dramatists, so is the McGuffey society, a band of men and women who study their old school readers with the intentness and seriousness one might give to reading the Bible. To have been a student of the readers in childhood days is not necessary for membership. There are persons in the society-who did not read from McGuffey’s readers when they went to school, and are members because they admire the compiler and writer. Four years ago, the society was started by a few men and women. The roll soon grew to 109 or more where it stands now. The success of the association, members say, is due in a great measure to the efforts of John F. Carlisle, Columbus attorney, president and one of the founders. Many members of the society are McGuffey reader collectors, and have “first editions,” in which they take as much pride as a wealthy art collector would in a Corot or a Titian. Every meeting is recitation day, and the men and women who still keep green the memory, of their childhood school days glavely recite or read passages from their readers. “The Wreck of the Hesperus” or “Excelsior”_or any of the other school room classics are read with proper elocutionary shadings of the voice and agitations of the arms of the “scholars.” One of the favorite pastimes at a meeting is to compare each other’s books. Frequently editions vary some what in the matter of composition, and there is profound interest taken by all when anything of that nature is uncovered. Members of the society come trooping into the meeting room, wherever it may happen to be, with their books under their arms, laughing and talking. The late Col. E. S. Wilson, editor of the Ohio State Journal, was one of the founders of the organization and one of its most enthusiastic supporters. Many of the members have passed ( the three score and ten mark, but they rarely miss a meeting.
