The Camp Fire Girls is to fill the place
for girls which the Boy Scouts do for their
brothers. Any group of girl friends in
any neighborhood can become Camp Fire
Girls. There is great big national or
ganization to which these local groups
belong and which has its headquarters in
New York city. Each camp fire, as
these local groups are called, includes
from six to twenty girls, who should be
somewhat near the same age. There is
a guardian foT each camp fire, an older
woman, who is familiar with all the
activities of the camp. In one neighbor-
hood the local groups are organized into
groups which are presided over by q
chief guardian. In large cities, where
there are a great number of camp fires,
there is an advisory board, which de-
cides all the questions presented by the
groups or camp fires.

but the cat was so small that two Of his
size could easily have been placed in the
basket.
His name Is Bug. / know you viii thinh
that is a very peculiar name for a cat,
but when he was a kitten he was 50 like
a caterpillar that we named him Bug. He
is very intelligent, and though father never
had any particular liking for cats this one
is great pet of his. When he was quite
young Bug was taught by father to sit
up for food. A little while later be was
taught to raise his left paw when he sat
up, thus making the voting sign Of q
Mason Ever since then be sits at fathers
right hand during the meal, and If father
forgets to feed him Bug taps him on the
arm with his paw.
One time we moved from one house IA
another a few blocks away. We sue
ceeded in getting Bug to the house and
then shut him up in the kitchen The
next day he went out and we could not
find him. About noon father was walking
past our old home and he saw Bug mewinE
at the door to befet in. Father took hip
home and Bug did not run away again.
A year or two ago we had dog, and
Bug disiked having any Of the attentions
he had received divided with the dog Ths

he got the idea that he wouldn't 60 to bed

If when yoI are wandering in the
NSods next summer you chance to
witness an encounter between two In
dian maidens, hear them whisper the
magic word ''wohelo" and see them
make a strange sign in the palms of
their hands, don't think you are dreaming
or that time has waited you back several
centuries to the days when Indian maid
ems roamed at large all over the land.
If you look again you viii see that these
passing forest nymphs, brown and hardy
though they are, are really not Indian
maidens at all, but girls exactly like
yourself, who look particularly happy and
eare free.
Then, what is the strange password,
you ask, and what is the sign and why
do these girls wear the clothes of Indian
maidens and long chains of bright beads
around their necks?
The strange word is "wohelo," whose
syIlables stand for work, health, love, and
IT is the watchword of the Camp Fire
Girls throughout the world.
And the strange sign which you saw
pass between the two girls is made by
fattening the fingers of the right hand
against those of the left. It is from the
sign language of the American Indians,
and it indicates crossed wood. This is
the hand sign of the Camp Fire Girls.

SOUzA PAID
STIFF FINE

J. J. Souza, arrested by Liquor In
spector Fennell, and convicted upon
a charge of running a blind pig in
Kakaako district, contributed one
hundred dollars to the maintenance
Of municipal government, following
the hearing of his case before Police
Judge MOnsarrat this morning.
After five years endeavOr upon the
part of Fennell and his sleuths, Sou
"a was caught with the goods yester-
day. Two jugs of evidence" were
confiscated, and repose in the stOr-
age tanks at the central station.
The allegation is made by the
police that for a number of years
Souza has conducted a place of bust
ness where liquor was sold in large
and small quantities. 1t was discOv-
cred that while the booze came from
the premises, none could be found in
the store owned by SouZa. Through
the efforts of an infOrmer. the SOuZa
residence near by was spotted and
liquor was supplied the man at a
time when Fennell and Officer Bel
mont appeared on the scene. The
arrest Of SouZa then followed.
