He described the life in the train- 
ing camp, spoke highly of the sani- 
tary conditions, food and the benefits 
of the training. The stereopticon 
was used to illustrate the talk. Dur- 
ing the question period Mr. Kennedy 
was asked if he did not believe that 
any suitable preparedness program 
was hopeless under the present ad- 
ministration. Mr. Kennedy said that 
the trouble was not with the Admin- 
istration, but was due to the lack of 
support by Congress and the public. 
He asked how many had _ written 
their Congressman asking him to sup- 
port preparedness measures and the 
President in international relations. 
Refreshments of crackers and 
cheese and cocoa were served at the 
conclusion of the discussion. -

Raymond, the two-year-old son of

narrowly escaped serious injury to 
his eye Sunday, when a dog belong-

was playing in the yard of Mr.

fellow by the nose, severely lacerat-

the eye by a fraction of an inch. Al- 
though probably not of a serious na-

HEARING ‘TopDaAy. 
The Interstate Commerce Com- 
mission is to hold a hearing at New 
York, at the Assembly Room of the 
Merchants’ association in the Wooi- 
worth building, today, for the purpose 
of giving shippers and carriers an- 
other opportunity to discuss the 
changes that should be made in the 
present forms of bills of lading. 
This matter has been before the 
Commission for several years and 
during the early part of April there 
was a meeting in Washington ai 
which a great many of the differences 
between the shippers and the carriers 
were ironed out. There remain, 
however, several sections in the bull 
of lading upon which there seems <9 
be a wide difference of opinion; the 
carriers’ proposition not meeting with 
the approval of the shippers, or being 
too drastic in some cases to suit them.
