Holding that no forest camp is com- plete without its log cabin, boys of Camp Good Will, in Rock Creek Park, have undertaken to build one, it was disclosed last night in the weekly summary of activities at the camp, which is conducted by the Associated Charitles. § The cabin, begun several days ago, will be large enough to play, in. With the camp instructors, the boys have cut logs, shaped them, laid them in place and carried out other incidental structural tasks as their forefathers did in pioneer days, until the house has neared the stage of outward com- pletion. The present group of youthful engi- neers soon will end their two-week so- journ at the camp, and their places | will be taken by a new consignment of cabin builders.

By the Associated Press. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., August 7.—An “allinclusive” journalism, with its power for international peace and for the spread of public welfare, was described in an address today by Kent Cooper, general manager of the Assoclated Press, at the Institute of Politics. Mr. Cooper declared that the history of today is found in newspapers and that it is upon the facts presented by the Assoclated Press dispatches that the judgments of 80,000,000 readers toward individuals and natlons are swayed. He related how the impressive pic- The march impressed him, he said, with the thought that merely the change of a uniform would have fitted the soldier of one nation ipto the ranks of any other nation, lead- Ing to the belief that men throughout the world who had fought each other believed they had nothing in common with their enemies only because there was no “day by day information to newspapers, broadly, that told them of the simple happenings among the miilions.” “And so today,” said the speaker, “when you read a brief little cable from some Associated Press man in a byway of Europe—some little happen- ing that you think of trifling impor- tance to you, interested as you are in the views of statesmeh—remember this: That unfortunately there are millions of newspaper readers who have not vet the degree of interest that you have in foreign af who_will not read of what s are doing, but will read, easily enough, of some picturesque happening in actors are in the same id to me the ‘You women see what othe the theater Extract Helps Bone ganization under the pro of the Air Commerce Act of 1926, According to Lieut.
