S. B. Holabird
Camp Cavalcade
CHADOWY figures in a cavalcad*
^ of American history—such as th«
men behind the names of the great
army cantonments scattered ali
over the United States, where young
Americans are learning to be sol
diers in order to defend their coun
try when the need arises.
If, for many years. Uncle Sam’s
soldiers have been the best cared-
for of any in the
world, much oi
the credit for that
fact belongs tc
the man for
whom Camp Hol
abird, near Bal
timore, Md., is
named. Samuel
B. Holabird, a na
tive of Connecti
cut, was graduat
ed from West
Point in 1849 and
after several
years’ service on the frontier was
appointed captain and assistant
quartermaster soon after the out
break of the Civil war. Much oi
his service during that conflict was
in Maryland and West Virginia as
chief quartermaster in various di
visions and corps of the Union army.
After the war he was chief quarter
master of the military departments
of Dakota, Texas and California and
in 1883 he was appointed quarter
master-general of the United States
army, a position which he held until
he was retired as a brigadier-gen
eral in 1890. At that time it was
said of him: “General Holabird was
ever alert to the needs of the army
and while occupying the position of
quartermaster-general he intro
duced many reforms to improve the
condition of the enlisted men, supply
ing them with comforts and conven
iences which soldiers could scarcely
have dreamed of 25 years earlier.’’
Camp Guild near Wakefield, Mass.,
is named for a journalist and sol
dier, Curtis Guild, (1860-1915) who
was born in Boston and succeeded
his father in the ownership of the
Boston Commercial Bulletin. He
was brigadier-general of the Massa
chusetts militia at the outbreak of
the Spanish-American war and aft
er being mustered into the volun
teer service was inspector-general
of the department of Havana in
Cuba. General Guild was elected
lieutenant-governor of Massachu
setts in 1902 and served two terms.
Camp Michie at Del Rio, Texas,
honors the memory of Virginia-born
Robert E. Lee Michie (1864-1918),
who was graduated from West Point
in 1885 and served in the cavalry at
various posts in the West. During
the Spanish-American war he was
adjutant-general of the department
of Havana in Cuba and served in the
Philippines in 1903-04. At the out
break of the World war he was
made a brigadier-general of the na
tional army and was commander of
the Fifty-third infantry brigade at
Camp Wadsworth, S. C.
Camp Callan, near San Diego,
Calif., bears the name of Maj. Gen.
Robert Emmet Callan, born in
Maryland in 1874 and now retired.
He saw his first active service in
the Puerto Rican campaign in 1898.
As chief of staff of the army artil
lery of the First army of the A.E.F.,
he won the D.S.M. for having “de
veloped the heavy artillery regi
ments under his command into com
bat units of remarkable efficiency
which proved to be of the utmost
value during the St. Mihiel and
Meuse-Argonne offensives.”
Heroes of World War I, both offi
cers and enlisted men, have pro
vided names for
numerous train
ing camps. There
is Camp Sibert
near Boulder
City, Nev., which
recalls the serv
ices of Maj. Gen.
William Luther
Sibert (1860-1935)
the Alabama en
gineer who bui^t
the Gatun locks
and dam in the
Panama canal, for which he re
ceived the thanks of congress, and
who commanded the First division
of the A.E.F. in France under Gen
eral Pershing.
There is Camp Edwards near For-
estdale. Mass., named for Maj. Gen.
Clarence E. Edwards (1860-1931),
commander of the Twenty-Sixth
(“Yankee”) division of the A.E.F.
who was awarded the Distinguished
Service Medal for having organized
that division and commanding it
with distinction during all but 18
days of its active service at the
front from February 4 to November
11, 1918.
W. L. Sibert
National Army Spirit
“A visit ta one of the canton
ments is unforgettable. The great
ness of this superb effort to raise an
army that will be truly national
floods the heart with fire and pride.
These molten pools of manhood have
been poured into the crucible. The
dross is being purged, the harden
ing metal tempered and welded, I
think it will be the finest army the
world has ever seen, because It is a
true cross section of a nation.”—
Christopher Morley, writing from
Camp Dix, October 24, 1917.
MINERAL AND VITAMIN RICHES FOR HEALTH
(See Recipes Below)
YOUR DEFENSE: HEALTH
Help yourself to your share of
health by giving your meals plenty
of health-giving foods and ward off
the lack of resistance to disease that
comes from not getting enough of
properly balanced foods.
Economy and health will be the
key words this season and through
out the country
you homemakers
will have to take
your part and
build the back
bone of the coun
try by feeding
your families food
that builds strong
bodies, steady
nerves and high
morale. Fortunately, good, health
building food is not just achieved
through more buying power, but
through wise buying. You can use
canned vegetables or low-priced
fresh vegetables, cheaper cuts of
meat, milk and canned fruits.
You’ve been hearing lots about vi
tamins, so check yourself on them:
Vitamin A is for resistance to in
fection, for growth and general well
being. You’ll need it for your eyes,
too, for poor vision and night blind
ness are common symptoms of the
body’s lack of this vitamin. You’ll
find it aplenty in milk, butter, vege
tables green and yellow, fruits and
eggs. It’s also the one vitamin
which you can store in the body.
Vitamin Bl, sometimes called thi
amin, is for appetite and good diges
tion. This vita
min’s for good
morale. If you’re
lazy, grouchy or
nervous look into
the matter. The
chances are that
you’ve been neg
lecting pork, liv
er, meat, en-
riched cereals and enriched bread
and bread flour, nuts, and peas.
Vitamin B2 is sometimes called
vitamin G also and also goes undzr
the name riboflavin. If your nails
have been brittle and grow slowly
and break off easily or your hair
and skin are generally in poor con
dition, add some of these good
sources of vitamin B2 to your diet:
milk, liver, eggs, cheese, lean meats
and leafy vegetables.
Gums bleeding? Teeth decay eas
ily? Perhaps you’re missing out on
vitamin C, for this is the vitamin
that goes right into your system and
helps you have good teeth and bones.
If your diet contains plenty of citrus
fruits (lemons, oranges, grapefruit),
tomatoes, fresh fruits and vegeta
bles, you won’t have trouble with
teeth, bones, or wounds not healing.
Vitamin D boosts vitamin C and
calcium into action, makes them
utilize the other vitamins and min
erals. Vitamin D i»n’t easy to find
in foods, although eggs, salmon,
sardines and herring contain some
of it. Milk can be fortified with this
vitamin and then it is called “ir
radiated.” Most common way of
getting the vitamin is either through
milk of this type or by taking cod
liver oil in winter, sunbaths in the
summer, for it is formed in the skin
LYNN SAYS:
Here’s your guide for meal
planning for health:
Milk: % to 1 quart a day for
each child and nursing mothers.
1 pint a day for everyone else.
Vegetables: 1 or more servings
a day of the leafy green or yel
low vegetables; 1 serving of po
tatoes or sweet potatoes.
Fruits: 1 serving of tomatoes,
grapefruit, or oranges a day; 1
serving of another fruit.
Eggs: 1 a day or 4 to 5 a week.
Lean meat, fish, poultry: 1 or
more servings a day. About %
of a pound of meat or fish is the
day’s quota.
Cereals: 1 serving daily of en
riched cereal.
Bread and Butter: At every
meal.
Sweets: some sweets occasion
ally to satisfy the, appetite. This
may be included in the dessert or
an occasional piece of candy.

That’s the round-up of vitamins.
Now, how about minerals?
You’ve probably heard that you
need calcium to build good bones
and teeth, but did
you know that
you need it to
help your blood
to clot when you
have a wound
and that you need
it also to regulate
your muscle contraction? No food
keeps people from getting old in
definitely but if you’ve good calcium
deposits, you’ll at least postpone old
age for awhile. Milk and green
vegetables burst with calcium so use
them every day. Don’t forget the
salads: carrots, cabbage, and cel
ery aren’t too expensive in winter
and they’re calcium-rich.
Phosphorus works together with
calcium in building bones and
nerves. Milk, cereals, meat, cheese,
eggs, nuts—all these have a good
phosphorus content.
Iron’s a marvelous pep-you-upper.
Not only does it guard against lag
ging energy but also digestive dis
turbances and general irritability.
Iron goes to work and makes red,
red blood cells that are just about
the hardest working cells you’ll ever
find. The red blood cell shuttles
between your lungs and your 7,000-
mile-long circulatory system drop
ping off the oxygen and carrying
out the carbon dioxide.
You need lots of iron so don’t miss
a day on iron foods. That means
you’ll be eating plenty of liver, mo
lasses, oatmeal, dried apricots,
eggs, whole wheat, lean beef, cab
bage, oysters and raisins from now
on.
Iron by itself is apt to be a bit
lazy. It needs copper to make it
get to work, so be sure to have
prunes often, whole-grain cereals,
oatmeal, dried fruits, liver and oy
sters at some one of your three
meals.
Iodine spells power. It is released
to your system by the thyroid gland
which is near the Adam’s apple.
Sluggishness, mental and physical,
are the result of lack of iodine or thy
roid deficiency.
Seafood contains iodine as well
as garden vegetables. Salt has been
iodized to help out general deficien
cy, and cranberries if raised in low-
lying lands near the sea are a popu
lar source of iodine.
Magnesium balances calcium, and
as you’re getting your milk you’ll
be getting magnesium, too. Other
sources are green leafy vegetables.
That’s the line-up. You’ll notice
that many foods contain both 'or sev
eral kinds of essential minerals and
vitamins. Of course that should
make the job you have to do easier.

UNITED WOMEN
One night, Mayor LaGuardia flew
down to Washington, had dinner
with us, and spoke before a meet
ing of the United Women’s Organiza
tions in the District of Columbia.
This group of women’s organizations
is composed today of 57 women’s
groups, ranging from labor groups
to political organizations.
They started with a meeting ol
12 and stated that they would come
together in a united organization to
work for civilian defense. I think
this is a fine achievement and hope
there will be co-ordination and unity
all over the country at this time in
the interests of greater efficiency in
community defense work.
The next morning, Mrs. Kermit
Roosevelt arrived in time to have
breakfast with me at eight o’clock
on the south portico. Then I met
my daughter and son-in-law on their
arrival from Seattle, Wash. It gives
a lift to my spirits just to see these
two young people, even though I am
so busy that I think most of our
talking will be done in the middle
of the night!
At 10 o’clock, I was at the Office
of Civilian Defense, and returned be
fore lunch in time for two appoint
ments at the White House. Then,
three representatives of the Ameri
can Women’s Volunteer and some
of our Civilian Defense Office staff,
came to lunch. We talked over the
co-operation between the American
Women’s Volunteer association
workers already in the field, and the
Civilian Defense people, working
through our voluntary information
and placement bureaus.
I hope this will develop in every
part of the country and am anxious
that we should use all the work that
has been done. We must keep in
mind the objectives before all of
us, which are to do good work to
meet emergency situations and to
improve the communities in which
we live.

PLANNING AHEAD
One afternoon I again had the
pleasure of meeting with the re
gional directors of the social securi
ty board. This time I heard them
discuss some of the problems which
are facing them, not only today,
but in the future. Very wisely, they
are thinking not only of such things
as they may have to meet now,
but of what may come when the
present emergency is at an end and
another period of readjustment is
before us.
It is a great satisfaction to me to
find so many groups looking for
ward and planning ahead, so that
we shall not be caught unawares. I
find this one of the most encourag
ing signs, for it shows that some of
us, at least, are able to profit by
experiences in the past.

POSTCARD REQUESTS
I have received several post cards
which interested me very much.
Suddenly people seem to have the
urge to put their innermost secrets
on post cards! One person asks me
kindly to arrest three other people,
asserting that they are guilty of
slander. It never seems to occur to
the gentleman that the power of ar
rest lies in the hands of certain spe
cial individuals, authorized by the
government, and if I started usurp
ing their rights, they might be some
what indignant.
I also have a post card which di
rects that I shall bring certain prac
tices of a local draft board to the
attention of the President, and to
no one else. The writers. are ap
parently not at all interested in ask
ing the proper people at the head of
the draft service in their difficulties.
In fact, they tell me, that if the
President, himself, can not take a
hand in this matter, under no cir
cumstances am I to give the post
card to anyone else!
However, these two cards show a
confidence in the fact that the White
House will take an interest in pri
vate matters which are brought to
its attention. I think this is very
flattering and am very grateful to
both of these writers, though I am
afraid I can not do anything about
either request which meets their
desires.

FREEDOM’S PEOPLE
On another night, Dr. John Stude-
baker and Dr. Ambrose Caliver, and
several of their assistants, brought
over the transcription of their radio
program, “Freedom’s People.” The
secretary of the treasury and Mrs.
Morgenthau, and Lord and Lady
Mountbatten were with us. We all
sat and listened with great pleasure
to this program, which will be
followed by others, all of which I
hope will be equally interesting and
well carried out.
These programs should bring be
fore the whole people, the contribu
tion of the Negro race to the nation.
After we listened to this program,
Lord Mountbatten brought in the
records of two songs by Noel Cow
ard, which have been a great suc
cess in London lately. One is called
“London Pride,” and is charming.
The other has to be approached
with a sense of humor. It was writ
ten to stimulate the British govern
ment to giving proper consideration
and equipment to the Home Guard.
It is fairly satirical, but they tell
me it achieved its object.

Alien Officers
For many years in the British
army, says Collier’s, King Haakon
of Norway has held the rank of
colonel, Kings Christian of Den
mark and Leopold of the Bel
gians have been colonels-in-chief
and Emperor Hirohito of Japan
nas been a field marshal, a rank
higher than that of a full general.
Use any material you have on
hand (though woolen is best) and
as for colors—the more the mer
rier! Lovely together are rose,
