FREIGHT BUREAU
 FILES COMPLAINT
Asks Interstate Commerce Commission
 to Reduce Rates on Canned Goods.

A. R. Bragg, traffic manager of the Little Rock Merchants Freight Bu- reau, yesterday morning filed formal complaint with the Interstate Com merce Commission attacking the re- cent advance on canned goods in car loads from canning points in Iowa to Little Rock and Pine Bluff. Effective June 12 and 29, the lines entering Little Rock and Pine Bluff increased the rates on this commodity from 2 to 10 cents per hundred pounds, the average increase, according to MT. Bragg being almost ' cents per hun dred pounds.
 "The Merchants Freight Bureau applied to the Interstate Commerce. Commission to suspend this advance, said MT. Bragg, but the commission advised that it would be necessary tc file formal complaint. The only excuse that has been offered for this i increase on the part of the railroads
 
 the rate to Little Rock and Pine Bluff to prevent reduction to Fort Smith and Muskogee. Therefore, ir order to have the original rate re- stored it was necessary to file a for. nal complaint.
 ..It is most unjust action on tht part of the railroads entering Little Rock, and so far they have offered n- reasonable excuse for their action The inference is that the Little Rocl and Pine Bluff lines were coerced by the roads entering Fort Smith an( Muskogee, notably the Frisco. Kansas City Southern and the Missouri, Kan sas and Texas"

GIRLS MAKING HEAD BANDS AT THEIR BEAD LOOMS .

the weaving of the head bands which
they wear as part of their costumes and
which are all made according to their in
dividual ideas.
Small wooden looms such as-may be
bought in great many shops are used
for the weaving. The colors are selected
according to each girls taste, and as a
general thing the girl selects her own
Camp Fire name as the motive for her
head band. This is not obligatory, how
ever, but it is considered desirable thing
for each girl to work out some special
design which will make her head band
quite different from those of her friends.
Symbolism characterizes these designs,
and this is carried out in the color as well
as the design of the head band.
The girls of many of the Camp Fire
groups have each selected or have had
conferred upon them special names, which
obtain only in Camp Fire circles. Some
times the name is made up of the first
syllables or letters of several words, as
'Wohelo," the watchword of the Camp
Fire Girls of America, which is con-
structed from the words work, health
and love" This was originally the

The International School Farm League
is now engaged in assisting the starting
of gardens for city children in suitable
parks and vacant lots in connection with
schools and in connection with hospitals
and institutions for children. All of
these different sorts of gardens which are
started by the league it hopes to have
taken over in time by the various insti-
tutions concerned, but until these institu-
tions admit the value of these gardens
they are maintained by the league, which
is supported by private contributions
Mr.. Henry Griscom Parsons, who IS
the secretary of the league, is also the
instructor Of the training school for
teachers for farm gardens which is
conducted in connection with the New
York University. Mr.. Parsons is in
charge of the bureau of information
which the league maintains throughout
the winter in New York for the benefit
of teachers and all other persons inter
ested in the school farming for children
The league held during the last week of
October an exhibition of model gardens

that'G all It's easy to figure on what

the way the thing works.
If its new breakfast food that the

But with the women it's not so easy.
Why don't they stay to see the show?

Bead Head Bands Symbols of Rank

from the fame, added TO the Fire Makers
emblem.
Health in Camp Fire Girl lore is rep
resented by bright red. homecraft by
orange. nature lore by sky blue, camp
craft by wood brown. handcraft by green.
business by black and green. patriotism
by red, white ard blue. The designs for
the head bands are first thought out very
carefully and then discussed with the
Guardian of the Camp Fire, who possibly
suggests some notifications In the in
terest of practicabiiity. After this the
girl sets up her loom and starts to work.
OF course IL isn't the easiest thing in the
world to weave head band. Everybody
who has tried bead weaving knows that
it takes both skill and perseverance to
turn out good piece Of work. But the
result is very satisfactory and the ex-
pense not large. The girls have bead
weaving parties on the days when the
weather is too bad to go out Of doors or in
the summer time, when they are in camp.
While they weave there is much telling Of
camp stories, reciting of the original
poems which the girls compose to cele,
brate their camp fire adventures. and
comparing of notes on home craft and
the lore of the camp FIRE.
Some of the head bands are made long
enough to extend completely around the
head, while others 90 across the fore
head only and are held in at the sides by
leather ends or bands of velvet.
To make the bands more lasting they
are attached to a leather foundation or
one of velvet. But there is good deal of
latitude in the costuming of the members

plicity and strength. Either of these may
be used for the decoration, or If the name
is to be represented symbols may be
chosen from the sign language of the
American Indians or invented by the
weaver For purposes of decoration the
Ere symbol may be the rising sun instead
of the camp FIRE with its crossed logs.
Instead of representing her own name
or that which she bears in the Camp
Fire group upon her head band by the
use of Indian symbols, the girl, IL she
likes, may use some of the arbitrary sym
bols of the organization for the decoration
of her head band. There are three ranks
in the Camp Fire, those Of Wood
Gatherer, Fire Maker and Torch Bearer.
The girl who has attained to the rank
of Wood Gatherer is entitled to wear a
wood brown emblem representing the
crossed wood on her left arm. She may
also weave this emblem into her head
band if she wishes, but usually the Wood
Gatherer's emblem is not SO used, because
it is the lowest rank and girl hopes to
get promotion to higher grade, when
she would prefer to have her head band
show the symbol of her more advanced
rank in the organization.
