WOMAN'S POSITION
 IN GERMANY

Before the war German men, and. many German women, laughed at the idea of women having voice in the affairs of the government. At that time the voice that the people in gem era1, that is, the men, had, was Ht- tie enough, and the thought that the weaker sex'' was entitled to it's say simply preposterous to the majority of Germans. The three Ks, Kinder, Kuoche and Kochen (Children, Church and cooking) that was sup posed to be their proper sphere and they accepted the dictum without pro test. Today it is vastly different. As soon as the war broke out German | women became active, not for the vote, but in war work, as all women ] in various other occupations ordinar- fly filled by men. From those who have lived in Germany during. the war and who have returned since the Uni ted States entered upon hostilities, it l is learned that the influence of the German Frau is growing day by day and that 8 return to the old condi- tions is Impossible when the war is over There have been agitators for women's rights in Germany where they were so few that they were not even molested by the unusually se- severe German government. And if no other riots occur when peace has once more been declared it is safe to bet 1 that the German women will do a lit-
 tie rioting if there is any attempt to reIegate them to the rear and deprive them of say in what the government shall and shall not do

MOTHERS WHO WON'T SEE

l"How many a friend whose careless Now wanders OCT that starry sky, Did smile upon the orb, to meet
 Tn recollection, kind and sweet;
 The reveries of fond regret

 If there are any people who are will fully blind, it is the average mothers of daughters. If a thoughtless young girl encourages fellows who make eyes at her on the street. or. even goes a step further, holding conversa- tions with youths to whom she has not been introduced, well-meaning friend may have her trouble for her pains if she attempts to enlighten the mother, as to what is going on. 1n- stead of being grateful for the tip, ten to one such mother turns on the 1n- former, whom she dtlbs a scandal breeder, and mischief maker. Every mother thinks her own girl the smart est going. If the girl denies the ac- cusation, that settles the matter. The girls word will be believed, though her accuser swore on a stack of Bibles to the contrary. Such a parent does not take the trouble to investigate the girls different stories, as to how, and where she met this young fellow, and that one. She takes for granted the truth of the girls many excuses, for not lbringing them to her home. Nor does she inquire into it when her daughter tells her she is going to this girl-friend's home, or tha ones. Yet well disposed nefghbors inform her, she was seen at the movies with a hashily dressed sporty fellow. If the girl simply shakes her head, when the mother speaks to- her about 1t, no power on earth could make the wo- man believe but what the neighbors, eyes were at fault. It wasn't her daughter who had been seen, but some one else. who bore a slight resem- blance to her, Girls have little or no not dominate them strictly. A mother as matter of course, loves her girl. But love should not blind her to friv- olity and faults. 38l
 Faults in a young girl can be easily uprooted if wisely taken in time. The longer they are allowed to go un- checked, the more hardened the girl becomes. Many girl has actually laid her straying. from the straight and narrow path, to the 1axity of her mother.
 Had she been strict with me, I would have turned out a different girl" is an old cry but there is a world of truth in it, in many in- stances. What young girl does not know of the ways of the world her mother should teach her. The girl who has no secrets from her mother, usually attracts good lover, marries well, passing through very few or deals ere she is led to the altar. The one who keeps all her affairs hidden from mother-does not tell her, whom she meets or where-gets in wrong at

TRAINING CAMPS
 FOR WOMEN WILL.
 SOON BE OPENED
Camp Fire Guardian's s Train ing Camp To Be In New
 Jersey Expect 30, 900.

Arrangementss are being completed for the opening of new series of training camps for war preparedness training camps for women, but without khaki uniforms. guns, aero planes, automobiles, or any of the concomitants of war except simple course of first aid. Yet they are camps intended to meet some of the greatest war needs today-the need of food conservation, the need of good, strong, healthy, efficient girls-girls that know how to take care of their health and help others to do the same; girls who are not afraid of work and who know how to save food, care for children, and work economically in
 the home. The uniforms worn at these camps will be the blue skirts,
 white ,blouses, white navy caps and red |ties of the Camp Fire Minute Girls" The camp beginning on July 2d, is the first Guardians Training Camp of the Camp Fire Girls. It is situated
 on the ten thousand acre estate of C. e. Worthington in New Jersey just [across the Delaware from Shawnee, Pa, from which it derives it's name EShawnequa. The Camp Fire Guard
 ians7 who will gather there from a dozen. different states will learn how to carry out efficiently the Camp Fire tGirls' preparedness in the home pro- gramme so strongly endorsed by Pres ident Wilson. When one realizes that more than 33,000 Camp Fire Girls went into camp last summer, the irn- portance of the work for which these women are preparing is obvious.
 The Guardians will learn how to jtk -1-a T. T Nf'----
 craft, home craft and nature love- The details of teaching them how to carry out the programme of preparedness in the. home twill be concrete in the extreme. The Department of Agricul- ture at Washington has promised it's full cooperation, and demonstrations in outdoor canning, for instance, fol- lowing the latest government instruc- tions will oe given. The government wants all the perishable fruits and
 produce possible canned this year, and
 contemplates restricting the use of cans for such products as beans and soup on account of the scarcity of tin.
 The first camp will be held from
 July 2d to July 9th, the second from
 July 18th to. August 1st, the third
 from Aug. Sd to Aug. IS, and the
 fourth from Aug. 18tT4 to Sept. 1st.
 The emphasis in each will be on
 health and conservation and the num-
 Der of Guardians or prospective Guardians who can be accommodated is limited. The camps will be under the
 direction of Miss Edith Kenpthorne, fieid secretary of the Camp Fire Girls, who is at present at Camp Fire Head
 quarters, 461 Fourth Ave. New York

the love-game.. There is no one to
 draw her back, when she edges too
 near danger, or warn her that men do
 not mean all they say; that there are those who can smile, talk love and yet
 be villains, meaning not one word of it. These wonder in their own hearts how any girl with an ounce of sense in her head, can be so silly as to be- heve them. It goes without saying that every daughter is the smartest ever born; but at the same time it be- hooves mothers to see in which chan nel their "smartness'' is being direct ed. All girls are human. The best of them is liable to err. Therefore it is
 up to each parent to see that her girl doesn't get a chance to do any side stepping. No girl is too clever. or too
 good to need guidance.
