Rudisill of Ilenrv River, one of the best friends the Record has, returned Friday night from Camp Glenn, where his son, Mr. John A. Rudisill is a member ofj Company A. What Squire Rudisill I bserved he w as good enough to write i i or the Record His letter follows: Knowing many of your readers ue deeply concerned with the affairs f Camp Glenn, I thought a shorn ouer trom me might be of interest. On receipt of a letter from my son, stating he was very ill, I boarded the first train for the camp. Arriv- ng there at 8 o'clock p. m. July 4. I found the sickness due to the ef fects of the vaccine treatment, which was proving very distressing to some of the boys. I met a warm recep tion from the boys of Company A and was delighted with their hospi tality during my stay. I found the boys generally in good spirits and enjoying camp life, with t he exception of the almost unanimous longing to get away from Oamp Glenn. This I was sorry to see for I think the camp is a delighful one. The food is well cooked, well served, and of great abundance, but not much in excess of the boys' appetites. As a matter of course, they are de prived of many of the comforts and most of the luxuries to which they have been accustomed; but they have the consolation of feeling that they are giving a part of their lives for the good of their country. The boys expressed their keen ap preciation of the chicken and cakes sent them for the 4th of July, and I believe it is no more than just that this performance should be repeated on occasions by those of us who are left at home. If Co. A should stay at Camp Glenn for a good part of the sum mer, what about an excursion from Hickory, and a ten days' camping party ? Let us hear ft'om some one on this. BAD HOUSING. BAD HEALTH Three Times as Much Sickness in Bad Homes As In Good "The houses that people live in have so much to do with their health", says the state board of health, "that the housing question is coming to he a health problem which the average town will soon be called on to handle along with its milk and water supply and sewerage disposal. A recent investigation of living conditions in Cincinnati to determine the cause of the unusual high death rate from tu berculosis which was twice as high as that of her sister town, PittsTiurg, showed that it was not factory con ditions, overwork, etc., that was the cause, but that it was her bad rious ing, overcrowding and poor living conditions. It was found that rn the tenement district qf this crty that there was just three times as much sickness from tuberculosis and other diseases as where there were better houses and better living eon dit'ons. The home of the average wage earner was found to be ar less sanitary than the verage fac tory and workshop. Consequently, Cincinnati is now in the process ot home-building that takes Into consid eration the health and the comfort of the people who are to live in tlie homes. Not long ago Washington learned the same lesson that Cincinnati has recently learned that sanitary homes reduce sickness and death. Accord ingly, Washington is going to dem onstrate to the world the relation ship between good housing and good health. Congress has enacted a law to go into effect July 1, 1918, accord ing to which all the alley dwellings in the District of Columbia must cease to be used as dwelling purpo&es. ?Ieanwhile, there will be built "nous es that will not be only sanitary and provide an abundance of light ana air, but houses homelike and attrac tive architecturally." These are o be known as the Ellen Wilson memor ial homes.

MAY MARRY ITALIAN British Heir Seeks Hand of Princess Yolando. (By Associated Press.) Rome, July 10. Unconfirmed re ports that Prince Edward Albert of Wlales, heir apparent to the British throne, seeks th e hand of Princess Yolando, the eldest daughter of King Victor Emanuel of Italy, have excited widespread discussion here. Tlfa rumor is a surorise to Italians gen erally, for it had been supposed that the British prince would marry one of the daughters of Empo;;r Nichol as of Russia, but there are a number of incidents that have led the Ital ian people to believe that Prmc Ed ward will marry the Princess Yo lando. It is now stated that the reason of th visit of the Duke of Connaught to the Italian King in May was to present the formal request of the King and Queen of England for the hand of the Princess. Yolando. The Princess is only 15 years old, and the Prince is only 22. She received an English education from babyhood under the tutelage of an English eoverness. Miss Brown, and those who knew her intimately have spoken of her as one ot the best marriage able prospects in European royal families. She is said to be an ex tremely sensible and practical girl, having been- brought up in a lamiiy that is peculiarly domestic, and be ing the oldest girl in the family, her roylal intimates s,ay she Has bfeen regarded as the "boss" of the house hold. She has always acted as the protectoress of her younger sisters and her brother, Prince Humbert. Sometimes she has extended this role even to her mother, the Queen. The latter, on one occasion recently, when speaking to the American wife of an Italian journalist, said "I rarely attempt to speak English because Yolando insists on correcting my mis takes." The Princess jstrongly resembles her mother, having dark hair and eyes, an olive complexion, and the siow smile not unlike the famous one in the Mona Lisa paintings. She has been given even more of the modern outdoor education than many of the Italians girls who have fol lowed the English and American custom. She plays tennis well, swims and is an excellent pistol and rifle shot. Sine the war began she has been the constant companion and aid of her mother in the work among the poor families of soldiers and in the hospitals, particularly the latter. The Princess is a Catholic, and the English law does not allow of the occupancy -of the throne by a Catho lic, but among those who wish to see the marriage carried out, it is re called that in recent years certain princesses have changed their reli gion in order to become queens. The Queen of Spain became a Catholic on her marrige while the Queen of Greece adopted the religion of the country for the same reason. " Should the marriage not take place, the fact may some day develop that it was because the"princes3 so wrlllpd. The Italian royal family is known to be sufficiently converted to democratic ideas not to insist on a wedding which the princess fails to view with full approval. As the throne of Italy cannot be inherited by a woman, the marriage of a royal princess! has not thje far-readhrne-political importance that is true In the case of the Prince of Wales. The war having apparently eliminated both German and Austrian suitors, if the Princess Yolando marries In neither England nor Russia, she may after all marry in Italy, where many of the princely houses consider them selves quite as good as the House of Savoy. . The Italian royal family is far wealthier than the English royal f am rated onlv second as to that of Russia in wealth, and much of this wealth is in cold cash, not in undeveloped lands. RAN OUT FAKE DOCTORS Dr. A. W. Dula of Lenoir passed through the city today en route to High Point, where he will attend the convention of the North Carolina Op tometry Association.
