WHERE HOOSIER BOYS WILL PLAY SOLDIER Times Womah Writer Tells History of Camp Knox, 33,000 Acre Tract in Kentucky,

By DOROTHY STANHOPE [Times special corresDondent at Camp Knox, who will tell the home folk of activities of Indianapolis and Indiana men who are to take the citizens’ military training camp this summer.] CAMP KNOX, Ky., June 27 Before September between 15,000 and 20,000 men will have come and gone from Camp Knox. High school boys, college students, reserve officers. National Guardsmen of many ages and from many walks of life. Missouri, lowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana all will send goodly numbers. There undoubtedly is in the minds of many more than a passing interest as to just what manner of place this is. It is a tract of 33,000 acres, lying thirty miles south of Louisville on the Illinois Central Railroad. That is, the occupied area is that far distant; the reservation itself begins much nearer the city. Population Scattered It was chosen for the long range possible for artillery fire, as the population through the hills was very scattered. However, the range obtainable is not as great as that at Camp Bragg, North Carolina, so when the Government, in its retrenchment campaign last year, was considering which camp should be kept, the larger one was decided upon. In consequence Camp Knox was abandoned last fall as a permanent station for troops and only a small caretaking guard was left during the winter. The guard did not prove adequate for protection of the occupied area and vandals looted many of the quarters. The land is not particularly valuable. It is a collection of joint farms which the Government bought, in many cases from owners most unwilling to part with their possessions. Fruit Trees Killed Excellent apples were raised, I am told, and there are thousands of trees in the deserted orchards. Crabapples, plums, pears, peaches and grapes also were raised in considerable quantities. Although some slight effort has been made to care for the trees in the immediate vicinity of the camp, many have died or are ceasing to bear. Some of the farm houses have been used as targets in artillery firing and shot to pieces. Others have fallen into decay through neglect. The whole reservation is very beautiful, with deep ravines into which the sun never penetrates, trickling springs and miniatures waterfalls, giant trees that date back to Kentucky’s earliest days, and caves to which stories of daring bandits cling.

Jesse James sought refuge in one of these, and many a boy makes a pilgrimage there. The least of the camp site Is the little village of Stithton. Its name still remains. Bewildered relatives may wonder that letters from here all bear that postmark. The village was brought In Its entirety—houses, shops, churches, school house, everything. Although the owners were paid what was considered a fair price for their property, many of them will always consider that they were dispossessed. Woman Hurt In Fall As the result of a fall down a cellar stairway, Mrs. Frankie Wilson, 76, of 44f N. Davidson St., was In the Methodist Hospital today, suffering from a deep cut across her forehead.

Jumping Seeds Are Just Bugs

The mysterious and infinitesimal urge that has kept a bottleful of “mustard seeds” on the jump since early last week has been solved by Frank Wallace, State entomologist. The mustard seeds, persistent in their jumping propensities, have literally jumped their way from obscurity to identity. Wallace has scanned thousands of pages of biology since the mustard seeds were received at his office from a Hope, Ind., citizen, who asked their name. To the scientist they are known as cynips quercussalatrix, which means little to the man who scratches when bitten by an insect and doesn’t give a hang about his tormentor’s name. The “nips,” short for cynips, is a member of the jumping gall family and alternates his abode between the oak leaf and the root of the tree. When he gets down to earth, encased in a panoply of toughened skin, he looks like a mustard seed. The restlessness of the enclosed larva causes him to jump, sometimes a quarter of an inch high. Next year he will imbed himself in the tissues of an oak leaf, where he will look somewhat like a tiny blister. ‘WATER WINGS’ BURST Boy, 12, Is First Victim of Swimmng Lesson at Jasper.
