give them to her as part of the routine
of home life. In the scout work we have
been able to get young girlSt to do house
work, dishwashing and the drudgery that
every woman should learn, and without
a whimper from the girls. We try to
supply every activity which they desire
and give them the training to make them

Mrs. Bacon says that tie effect of
camp life among the foreign-born girls

to make the girls go back to their homes

of American life and teach the younger
children how to live as American citizens.
Professor Felix Adler, chairman of
the Committee on Education of the New

said yesterday at the offices of the COM
mission that the three objects Of citizen
ship training are physical development,
discipline and democratic habit of mind
and that girls as well as boys ought to
have the benefit of this training.

of citizenship training for boys only"
said Professor Adler. Il have recon-
mended a plan with the following OBJ
jects in view: Out door lite, setting
up exercises, hikes, pitching camp and
orderly provision for sanitation of camp.
These all make for physical upbuilding.
"After this confidence must be estab-
lished in leaders, respect and Difference
must be built up and these should be
followed, not preceded, by implicit
obedience. This makes for discipline.
Living together with all sorts and
conditions in good fellowship is the next
step and makes the democratic habit Of
mind. These three qualities are as
necessary to young girls as to young
boys.

Domestic Service a
Wartime Non-essential

During the war the employment SER
vice did not consider domestic service
one of the essentials and consequently
did not begin placing it in that line until
late in November.
There is always demand for house
hold servants. Since the armistice was
signed the demand has increased, and
SO many women are out of work that
the employment service branches are at
tempting to remedy the situation bv
placing the jobless women in household
work
In the few cases where women re-
leased from Jobs held during the war
were forced from actual need to enter
domestic service, they have stipulated
that they must have jobs in another
line as soon as possible. Even the
women who were servants before the
war do not want to resume their old
jobs. They may take such places tempo
rarily but are on the lookout for some
thing in the industrial world
A larger number of women workers
were released from munition factories
and other war jobs in and near New
York than any place else in the country,
The war workers almost as body re-
fused to take domestic service. To
a solve the problem confronting house
wives the Young Womens Christian
Association established brief courses in
housekeeping that would be in the
nature of trade test, to give the girls
who enrolled an idea of whether they
wanted to follow the work and also fur
MIS- a means of grading their efficiency
in order that wage scale could be estb-
lishad.
The Board of Education in New York
has approved a similar course to be
given in night schools

An "industrialized domestic" is the

Domestic workers in England have
learned much about organization from
their experience in war work, and it is
the general opinion that they will or
game IN some way to handle their
problems Their social status is one of
the main points in their objection to
domestic service. In a recent report
OF meeting OF English women it was
brought out that the women workers
objected to wearing caps and BEING
called by their first names. 1t was
further asserted that the press in it's
humorous moments made illusions to
domestic servants that ridiculed and
behttled their work. Caricatures of
servants on the stage are also resented
by the workers.

the last drop of water will have been
absorbed into the earth's crust, its
surface will be a desert and all life
will become extinct.
The age of the ocean has been es-
timated by leading authority, Prof.
Frank Clarke, of the United States
geological survey, at about 100000
600 years. This, of course, is only an
approximation, but is based on care
fully studied scientific data.
All the water was once contained
in the vapor that surrounded the
glowing, slowly cooling mass which
is now the earth. After the gases
combined to form water the process
of making the ocean salt began. This
was the work of the rivers. Mineral
salts were extracted from the rocks
over which they flow and deposited
in the sea.
Each year the action of the streams
is said to make the ocean slightly
more salty and this is the basis on
which its age is calculated. The
amount of salt carried by the rivers
of the world is computed by the
scientists and compared with the to-
tai quantity in the ocean. After evap-
GRAFTON and the velocity of currents
have been considered it is possible
to calculate how long it has taken to
make the sea water as salty as it is
today.
About three and half per cent. of
mineral salts and ninety-six and a
half per cent. fresh water make up
the oceans. Three-fourths of the SOL
id matter is common salt, other in
gradients being chloride, sulphate
and bromide of magnesium; sulphate
and carbonate of lime and sulphate
of potash, besides traces of various
other minerals and metals, including
gold and siler.

THE DRY DEFICIT.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The white
light restauranteur has found a way
of making up the deficit that came
with prohibition.
BY multiplying the prices of soft
drinks by three, four and even five,
and ornamenting them with tinkling
names, they agreed that they were
doing nicely.
Food prices, too, have scared. The
boosts have been applied to salads
vegetables, pastries and other Incl
dentals, rather than to meat orders
This method of raising the size OF
a dinner check, one waiter explained
left the patron with the idea that he
ordered more generous meal than
usual, rather than that his favorite
cut of beef or fowl had gone up with
the increased cost of living.
Prices Go Skyward.
Prices taken at random from
Broadway restaurant checks show
these increases due to the coming of
prohibition.
