FROM PREPAREDNESS CAMP
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
COMPTON LAKE, X. J., June 23.
—Thirty young women of New \ork
society started home from here today
after three weeks learning the ins and
outs of soldiering so that in time of
need they may be a help to their
country. They were under the com
mand of Miss Candace Hewitt,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward R.
Hewitt and were instructed by di
rectors supervised by General E. Z.
Steever, C. S. A., retired.
The Emergency Service Corps is
the official title of Captain Hewitt’s
girls, and in their three weeks’ camp
they covered a course of intensive in
struction. embracing everything from
messenger service to cooking and |
from peeling potatoes to bareback
riding.
Misti Hewitt and her sister, Miss
Lucy Hewitt, were the organizers of
the camp. They took their idea be
fore a committee of prominent men
and women and after careful study
the training course was worked out.
The purposes of the corps art' to
lead girls who have had opportunities
in life to recognize their responsibili
ties.
The course included making camp,
cooking, riding, swimming, first aid
ami sanitation, lectures will be given
in military law so that the girls may
realize fully in what relation they will
stand to their own ami to enemy
troops in time of war.
Miss Hewitt laid down a list of
equipment with which each young
woman most provide herself. This
included two pairs of waterproof
shoes, three pairs of thick stockings,
one pair of woollen socks, one pair of
sneakers, three changes of under
clothing, one set of waist garters, one
pair of leather puttees, three olive
drab shirts, otto campaign hat, one
pair of service gaunties, one belt,
two red ties, one uniform coat, two
pairs of pajamas, one sweater coat
and one bathing suit. Skirts are
taboo.
The girls learned how to wig-wag
with the general service code anti
semaphore code, and the mysteries of
j lighting beacon fires and making
signal smokes -which is no mean art
in itself.

RUSSIAN CAME NORTH
TO AID COUSIN AND
FORCED TO REMAIN
Tom GagofT, a Russian who came
north to aid his cousin, Alex GagolV,
who was executed at Whitehorse
March 10 for the murdering of four
! men near that place several months
previously, is now compelled to re
main at Whitehorse because United
States immigration inspectors will
not permit him to enter the United
States. It was suspected by the
police that Tom GagofT desired to aid
his cousin to defeat justice by giving
him an opportunity to commit suicide.
He was arrested and searched and a
fully loaded, brand new revolver was
found on his person. He was sentenc
ed to three months in jail, and last
week was discharged from the bas
tile. In the meantime justice had
been met through the hanging of his
cousin.
Gagoflf left Whitehorse for Skag
way, but was taken into custody by
the immigration inspectors, who de
cided that he must return to White
horse. He is still in the city at the
head of Yukon navigation.—Ex.
