A general at one of the big army
camps called upon the Y. w. G. A.
members Of the nearby town to
make a request concerning that
ubiquitous genus, flapper."
"These girls come round the
camps in droves," he said. eve
can't drive them out. Can't you
women lead them out?"
Evidently some of us elders, prin-
cipally mothers, have failed in our
duty\to our girls when they were
little. Anybody familiar with
Camp Lewis conditions knows that.
We ought to have done more lead
ing long ago, and then the general
wouldn't have had any such pitiful
problem to put to the Y. w. G. A.
workers.
1t isn't much trouble to train a
winsome little girl into a "woman-
ly' young woman. She will grow
up that way quite naturally-if she
is given a little of the right kind Of
attention. What she needs is not
discipline, it is an honest response
to the simple trust she puts in the
adults around her.
IF they provide her with whole
some amusements, she will never go
away from hime in search Of for
hidden excitement and adventure.
If ia too late to do much for the
genus which is complicating the
problem of army camps, but it is
just the right time to put all little
girls everywhere on the map with
the other important members Of
the family.

Everybody is being talked about
nowadays except the little girls.
Father attracts attention because
he is paying for Liberty Bonds.
Mother is applauded because she is
saving things. Big sister is knit
ting socks. Big brother is in the
army: Little brother is boy-scout-
ing. And the baby is being con-
served so that he will surely be on
hand when democracy is finally
saved.
Little sister is the only one in the
family who is being neglected. So
let us stop and mediate upon little
sister minute.
Look up and down the world and
where can be found another crea-
ture so trusting as little girlY
She puts her faith in everybody.
Her parents, her relatives, her
teacher, are all such "dear good
people,"
When we think of any special lit
tie girl we always picture her skip
ping gaily and lightly to meet us
with arms outstretched, making the
perfect symbol Of trustfulness.
And beholding any group Of
these winsome dancing fairy things,
we always wonder what Is going to
happen to this fine faith they have
in their elders.
Well, here is something which re-
veals what has happened to girls
who were innocence a few years
ago.

But Northcliffe Has to Be BUSY

Northcliffe is keeping all the guns of his
English newspapers blazing away for 5O-year
trade boycott Of Germany by the allied nations,
when peace comes It is not likely that North
cliffe's intelligent readers have much faith in it's
soaring Germany out Of the war, or of damaging
Germany after the war.
What Northcliffe cannot do to Germany, along
this line Germany is doing for herself. With
peace tomorrow, Germany would face an indebt-
edness of over 30 billion dollars Her mark is
quoted in nearby countries at As cents on the dol
lar, and is bound to go lower. She is financing
herself and some of her allies in a circle within
herself, regulating wages and values, paying her
men with their own paper promises, in fact. Her
reichstag is even now passing out another tire
mendous war loan, to be subscribed for by the
people whose receipts will again be their own
promises to pay.
What terror to such people in trade boy
colt? What sense or necessity in a boycott
against people issuing from war with finances
