CONVENTION PLANS UNCERTAIN D. C. Commander Tells City Heads Local Unit Did Not Press for Fund From Congress. Whether next year's annual en- eampment of the Grand Army of the Republic will be held here remained uncertain today after a conference by the Commissioners yesterday with local officers of the G. A. R. Congress has appropriated $16,000 for public order purposes for an en- campment of the G. A. R. here in September, 1936, but this was done without the advice of John M. Kline, commander of the District depart- ment. 5 He told the Commissioners yester- éay the G. A. R. members here are too few and too feeble to handle the arrangements for a pational encamp- ment. The Commissioners will withhold any action until they have consulted by letter with national officers of the G. A. R, in which they will outline the views of the District department.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST RAINFALL DISRUPTS DRILLING OF TROOPS Virginia Artillerymen at Pow- ells Fort Pay Visit to Winchester. By the Associated Press. STRASBURG, Va., August 21.— Back in the Powells Fort Valley biv- ousc after a frolic in Winchester, the 111th Feld Artillery and the 54th Fleld Artillery Brigade Headquarters Battery, Virginia National Guard, continued such of their fleld training as the weather permitted today. ‘The program was dissrranged yes- terday by heavy downpours, which soaked the camp and caused consid- erable discomfort. Last night the artillerymen were the guests of the city of Winchester, repaying the hospitality with a band ooncert. Nightly visits to the city, 30 miles away, will be made this week. A change in the itinerary will bring a cancellation of the return visit to Alexandria for the week end. In lieu of this the citizens of Winchester will give a big dance for the enlisted men Saturday night and excursions to val- ley points will be made on Sunday.

They don't get my wind or-up- set my nerves. I've smoked Camels for years, and I never tire of their smooth, rich taste!
