~IRI, SCOUTS who have been work
" ing in Philadelphia hospitals to re-
lieye the labor shortage have become so
enthusiastic over the success Of their
efforts that they will continue the volun-
tary. service until conditions again are
normal. This was made known today
by Mrs. Victor i. Lavell. director OF the
local organisation.
At the headaua rters' OF the scouts. ~
South Seventeenth street, requests are
coming in daily for permission to join
the hospital workers corps. The girls
first offered their services during the
height of the influenza epidemic. No
work was too difficult or menial for them
to do. They scrubbed floors. acted as
porters, washed dishes. made beds.
served as messengers and nurses aids
and performed willingly any task as
signed to them.
Hospital authorities throughout Phila-
delphia have been generous in their
praise of the work Of the scouts "They
labored with a cheerfulness that was all
but inspired" said the matron or one OF
the larger hospitals in the northeast sec
tion OF the city. 1t was In this part OF
town that most of the scouts were en-
ployed. They were stationed at the
Northeast, Stetson. st. Mary's. Roose-
Welt and Frankford Hospitals. They
also served at the Methodist Hospital,
Broad and Wolf streets.
When the labor situation at various
medical institutions throughout Phila-
delphia was some time ago explained
10 the scouts in a letter from headauar-
ters more than fifty girls applied for
service. Many Of these have brothers
ana fathers in the army or navy. They
said because of this it was their desire
to do all they could to take the places in
city hospitals of those who had been
called for active duty in the military or
had gone to nurse Americas wounded
at base and field hospitals In France.
Hospital authorities in Philadelphia
at that time were glad of assistance

l. Now one feature of the community
service has been to build up a girls
section. This is what I would like
to interest you in. The girls are
banded together and kept busy with
various kinds OF war work. And in
many cases they are used TO help en-
tertain the boys. The boys the girls
meet are those known to the chape-
rones at various affairs given to the
boys, so IL is just as though your
mother introduced you to some one.
The war community service can be
found all over the United States.
Last winter in many Of the towns
there were community dances and
community sings, and everybody had
very good time. The girls returned
from the dances with their chaperones
but in a great many cases the boys
became acquainted with their mothers
and fathers So in the end the boys
and girls felt very rich in new found
friendships.
THIS doesn't mean TO say that the
i object OF the girls section of the
war camp community service is to
have the girls meet boys. The girls
are given purpose--that is to do
war work that will help the boys.
But they do meet the boys often and
