HAZELDEN TO BE A RECREATION CAMP

George Ade was in Chicago on Saturday and found Dr. Frank Billings, who has charge of the Physical Recreation Department of the army and is next in authority to Surgeon General Gorgas, in that city. The Doctor suggested at once that Hazelden be made a recreation camp for invalided soldiers, a place where they can have a perfect rest an<j the kind of sports that Hazelden is adapted to. This matter is being taken up with the Red Cross and will likely be taken charge of by them. With the golf links, the golf ball grounds, the beauifud shade, the swimming pool, tubs and shower baths, and club house, pavilion and pleasant summer home, this will make an ideal place for a recreation camp.—Brook Reporter.
