Reason for Organization.
Girl Scouts were not organized
just for the sake of putting a new
organization into the field for girls"
Miss Neal explained.
The aims Of the organization are
best summed up in the three-foid
promise a girl scout makes. She
promises. on her honor.
TO do my duty TO God and my
country.
TO help other people at all times.
ITO obey the scout law"
And in that promise. Mss Neal
pointed out, lie two elements long
needed as a part of a girls edu-
cation. patriotism. and obedience.
Most girls are not patriotic"
she said. "and they have no sense
of that love Of country which is
Unborn in the normal boy. To a
girl. too often, her country means
little.
Girls are not noted for being obedl-
ent and for bending to discipline.
To teach them reverence for their
country and obedience to their su-
periors Is a great service. and
that service the Girl Scouts hope to
perform.
The scout law sheds more light
on the purpose Of this organization,
so new that it is not familiar to
most persons.
Most scouts have ten fingers"
the preamble reads, ''and they
should remember these ten laws,
one for each finger
Scout Principles.
In these laws it is set forth that
"a scouts honor is to be trusted;
a girl scout is loyal, a scouts duty
is TO be useful and to help others,
a scout is a friend to all. scout is

Nowhere in Georgia would Miss
Cora D. Neal need an introduction.
She is the young woman who
went out to visit the now famous
Martha Berry School at Rome.
that State. for q week. She stayed,
and stayed, until, as the noveIists
say, the weeks grew into months.
and the months into years. and. in
short. she stayed ten years.
During all that time she was the
right hand aide OF Miss Berry,
and during the last few years.
while Miss Berry was abroad. her
young shoulders bore the burden
OF the tremendous work done by
this school at Rome, until, in
Georgia, she became almost as
much a figure in the school work
as the founder whose name II
bears.
This explains why she now
makes her bow to Washington as
the newly appointed national sec
retary Of the Girl Scouts. When
Mrs. Juliet Low. president of the
organization. cast about for a
woman to take the reins of the
new scout project for girls It was
only natural that being a resident
of Savannah. Miss Meals work
at the Berry School should have
recommended that Young woman.
And since Miss Neal found her
self breaking down under the
strain of her arduoUs service there,
she accepted the new task, both
for the change of work IL afforded
and the wide opportunity for the
same sort of service TO young
women for which the Berry School
has become notable

Meetings of each Of these patrols
are held weekly, and rallies Of all
the troops are held once a month.
"An impressive feature of the
work" said Miss Neal, is the splen-
did enthusiasm Of girls Of every
type, teaching the true democratic
spirit. Honors can be taken for
everything from literature down to
such everyday matters as cooking
and laundry. Our primary aim Is
to furnish worth while occupation

NEW MACHINE FOR
 SAVING GOLD 4 SUCCESS

The marvellous result achieved last week with the Hydros;atic Am algamatiou machine, which has been introduced here by J. J. Kaighlin, of Detroit, Michigan, who repres- euts the owners of the rights to this machine, have created some thing of a sensation among the To- cal mining men.
 1Ir. Kaigbin has had ta.s machine installed at the GTpiu mil for the past few weeks, where $ made an additional saving of seven and one third per cent, and took up gold from the last drop of the shines. These results are proof lnat the mill men need no longer contribute gold to the bed of the creek, fur ther curtchtug the stream. This wonderful machine, which will take up gold from the shines, will climi- nate losses Of the precious metal in the future, and make possible say ings that heretofore have Heeu con- sidcred practically impossible. The success. Of the machine has been demonstrated beyond ali question, and it is expected that within the very near future, many more will be installed here. Not only does it do great work in the ni,ls, but it is invaluable iu placer mining, where it catches the sUaljer gold, which otherwise would be lost, it being loo fine for the carpets to hold, consequently passing off with the water.
 The principle Of the machine is automatic in it's action getting it's operation and value by gravity. The quicksilver in the bottom of the amalgamattug section is a heavy body which takes into direct con- tact everything which comes into the machine, eliminating the waste through the pressure of the hy- drosJatic column and saving values through gravity and ama!gamation.- Weekly Rcgister-Cau, Central City, Colorado, April IT, 1924.
