SOMEWHERE IN AMERICA.
Girl Scouts Proving Ability to Render
Important Patriotic Service.

Mrs James : Storrow, commissioner
for the Girl Scouts OF Boston and member
of the executive board of the national
organization, thinks that girls as well Us
boys should he organized into q great
army for patriotic service. She says
that one of the greatest needs IN connec-
tion with the Girl Scout organization Is
for trained leaders young women who
Will devote themselves to the develop
ment of Girl Scout activities.
The activities of the Girl Scouts
should not be the same as those of the
Boy Scouts and their work should not
overlap. said Mrs. Storrow. But the
word Scout stands for certain ideals
common 10 both The girls must fit
themselves to become the assistants and
successors of the women of this country
Boston Girl Scouts have helped the
Red Cross to such an extent that they have
been gwen 4 room in the Red Cross Build
ing The girls serve as messengers and
act as ushers at Red Cross entertainments,
and they make simple articles such as
comfort kits. They have helped so much
that one Red Cross worker said she could
not possibly have carried her part in the
recent Red Cross flower show without
the assistance of the Girl Scouts.
"To those accustomed TO working with
girls it Is no new idea that their work can
be made of great value" said Mrs.
StorroW Girls are more eager for work
than for play, if the matter is presented
to them as part Of their patriotic duty
With their great organization extending
throughout the country, the Girl Scouts
are potentially equal 10 Boy Scouts, and
everyone knows what splendid service
the boys are rendering"
In referring to the need for Girl Scouts,
Mrs Storrow said that Boston will hold
its second encaInpment Of the First Ma
tional Training School for Girls leaders in
Boston during the first three weeks in
July Mrs. Storrow is commandant of
that encampment She expects to have
q hundred students in camp and is pre-
pairing to have them taught all forms of
Girl Scout activities.

MISTAKE OF TOO LITTLE SLEEP.
DIR. Clement Dukes, "A well-known
medical officer of Rugby School, said that
Insufficient sleep amounts to overwork.
| his Is very important to remember when
school children begin to do "home work. =
1t often means docking of their hours of
sleep-late sitting up and over-tIred
nerves. Don't forget that want of sleep
stunts growth.
MISTAKES IN NiGHToOwNs.
The mistake is sometimes made of
having children's nightgowns to open at
the back. This often exposes the back to
chills. Nightgowns should never opm at
the back, and should always be double
breasted. Then both spine and chest are
properly protected, and if child is rest
less at night nc cannot uncover back or
chest. Pyjamas are better for children 8

When will women of America give
their diamonds or their pearls to the
Red Cross? When they do it, it will be
a precious and glorious gift to the greatest
alleviating agency that man or woman
WAS ever inspired TO devise.
There was call for pearls all over
England, and they came great single
pearls, necklaces, brooches, rings, all
forms of adornment for women, and they
were marked 'In Memoriam;' "In

Guards" and so on, some with names,
some anonymous, but all of them gifts
