$4,000 Girls Are
Camping in Outdoors

More than fifty thousand Camp
Fire Girls will have spent a week
or more in camp by the end of this
summer season. Last year 45,502
girls out of membership of approx
mately 10000 went camping on money
they had earned themselves. The
average monthly gain in membership
for the nine months previous to the
declaration of war was 1850. After
that event the monthly gain jumped
to 3347, and on July 1st the total
membership was approximately
100000.
These girls gain pleasure and health
from these outings. but they gain
other things equally important. They
learn self-reliance. team work and the
spirit of cooperation in household
work. They undertake the care of
their camps, the cooking and clean
ing up, turn and turn about, and alb
sorb as much household craft as they
do woodcraft on these excursions.
The camps vary infinitely. Some
are in tents, some in old cabins. some
in improvlsed shacks. some even in
their own back yards. President. Will
son is honorary president of this
movement which is giving to the girls
health. happiness and self-reliance
and to the nation capable, healthy
women, fit to be the Mothers of the
Nations sons. More than half of all
the Camp Fires started since the
movement began in 1912 are still in
existence.

An "Orderly" Election,
in Mexican Style

People who read about Mexico
know by name that bright star of
Mexican politics. General Candido
Aguilar. 1 was in Puerto Mexico on
election day when Aguilar was run
ming for Governor of Vera Cruz
against General Gavira. You would
have thought he had at least a good
running start by being the Primero
Jefe's (Carranza's) candidate and en-
gagged to his daughter, but Candido
never takes any chances. He had two
freight trains of decanted Constitu-
tionalist soldiers, armed beyond the
teeth, in that town bivouacked around
the polls and the telegraph and cable
offices. You had to cross yourself and
step over sleeping arsenals to send
a telegram. The simple job of that
soldiery was to insure a constitutional
and orderly election by keeping the
Gaviristas from exercising a suffrage
called by the new Constitution uni
versal. I don't know first-hand Just
how matters stood in the other towns
of the State of Vera Cruz, but on
reaching Mexico City several days
later 1 read in the capital papers that
General Aguilar had been elected
Governor by substantial majorities
after very orderly" election

Why the German
Was Roughly Handled

The following Is an extract from
the journal OF Hugh S. Gibson. first
secretary of the American Legation
in Brussels at the outbreak of the
war:
Germans here are having an un-
happy time, and l shall be happier
when they are across the border
Nothing much seems to have hap
pened to them beyond having few
shops wrecked in Antwerp and one
or two people beaten up in Brussels
One case that came to my knowledge
was an outraged man who had been
roughly handled and could not un-
derstand why. All he had done was
to stand in front of cafe where the
little tables are on the sidewalk and
remark: Talk all the French you can
You'll soon have to talk German -

In addition we are financing a 3-bil-

this will increase our debt from ap-

Yet after all that increase. our per

that of any other leading nation ex-
cept Russia; and IL our loans to our
allies, for which the Government will
hold their securities, are excepted, our

Yesterday was Don Day and the
Canadians had a big celebration. In
the afternoon they had sports on the
golt links. 1t was quite an affair.
Ofticers, nurses and men all took
part in such things as egg and spoon
races, needle and thread races, walk
ing. running and jumping contests,
climbing creased poles, etc. 1t was
very amusing and the day was beau
uful. Later tea was served under
awnings. The Canadian Sisters had
baked all the cakes and they were
delicious. We also had sandwiches,
fruit salad and tea. In the evening
they gave a concert in the Y. NJ.

ball game between the Canadians
and us had to be postponed. but in
the afternoon we gave tea in our
mess to our officers and the officers

with the matrons, assistants and few
nurses. We did not have room for

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious. as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use it just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most ex-
pensive soaps or anything else all

drug store, and a few ounces with
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teasoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff.

HOW AIRPLANEs SAVED FRANCE

Had 1t not been for the French

in the Worlds Work" France would
have been destroyed in the first few
weeks of the war. For years the
French General Staff had expected an
attack through Belgium-the strate-
gle railroads which the Germans were
so painstakingly building up to the
Belgian frontier could convey no
other meaning. Yet the Frenchmen
still believed that the main onslaught
would come across the French from
tier, and had made their plans for
their greatest resistance in this reg
ion. France entered this war with
only about one hundred army air
planes. but Germany, which had fore
seen the part this new instrument
was to play. had a much larger equip
ment. Yet, a few days after the Bel

ECONOMIC PRESSURE
TO END THE WAR

TO END THE WAR
One OF the chief means for main
tanning justice in the world after
we get the Germans beaten, as pro-
posed by the League to Enforce Peace
was economic pressure. Economic
pressure is nothing more or less than
a boycott. But no one until this wans
demonstration realized how complete
and effective such a boycott could be.
With only the United States and Eng
land Operating a licensing system
against country, even without hos
tile military acts, it's overseas trade
would almost inevitably collapse.
Shipping that could not touch at an
American port. or get American coal
nor touch at British ports or use
British coal (the British control most
of the merchant coaling stations
around the world), or'carry American
or British goods-to such shipping
there would t'be poor cargoes and
worse profits. Without either British
or American coal, merchant shipping
could not cross either the Atlantic or
Pacific and return, for in North Amer
lea we or the British control the coal,
and in South America the coal is
chiefly brought out from England.
The war is teaching us many things
about the possibilities of cooperation
with other nations, and one of the
most interesting possibilities is the
power of economic persuasion as a
part of this war and as a preventive
or part of future wars.-The Worlds

there are any two persons who hate

and American military men.
AT the beginning Of the story, the
senorita, Juanity is in love with gal
liant Captain Arthur Boyce. He does
not love her, but she contrives to
make his flancee, Clare Nelson,
(Frances Burnham think that he
does. The result is that Clare breaks
off her engagement.
When Juanita finds that she cannot
make Boyce love her, her passion
turns to hatred and in fit Of rage,
she arranges a scheme by which the
officer is accused Of having murdered
woman. In the trial that follows,

raids an American town near the bor-
der. In the place are Glare and her
uncle, Nelson (Willard Louis), who
has been secretly furnishing the greas-
ers with munitions. Costa takes Glare

Juanita finds the girl with her
uncle and Costa in a rude shack She
sees her way to get revenge on Clare,
she will force her to marry Lopez,
(Charles Edhler) one of the bandits in
her employ. While she is thinking
over this plan, Arthur Boyce Is
brought into the hut.
Boyce had been exoneratsd of his
crime when the real murderer, stirred
by pangs of conscience, confessed. Re-
suming his command, he had rushed
to the rescue of the captured party,
only to be defeated by the greasers
and taken prisoner himself.
Clare and Boyce are left with Lo-
PEE in the shack. BY a skillful piece
of maneuvering the girl succeeds in
outwitting their guard and she and
Boyce escape from the building.
Rescue is fast arriving from a near
by American army post. The bandits
are pursuing Glare and Boyce and
Juanita rides frantically at their
head. But she is too late. A stray
shot brings her from her horse ana
she dies with curse on her lips for

could not have.
