Camp Andrews May Continue
 Indefinitely This Summer

During last week the last regular sched- uled week of the camp, the scouts have leen enjoying themselves to the fullest extreme There were about 140 boys at tending the camp, and where there are 1io boys on the same camp, there is sure tc be plenty of fun stirring around. There were ball games, special nights, swim ming races and contests of every descrip- ton held at Camp Andrews last week.
 "Mis-fft or "tit-miss" night is a new cieation in the line of special nights On this night everything is done back wards, and every command is interpreted in the reverse order of which it is de- lvered. the scout who appears dressed in proper fashion is considered as a breaker of the camp rules. He must be dressed with his clothes on backward, and frequently wrong side out. Some queer costumes may be seen on fit miss" night
 MT. Wester lined the boys up before the camp and began giving them or ders in military style Right about face ' Of course, the interpretation was Left about face.

In this fashion the time allotted to play wore away quickly, and the scouts were hur- ried off to bed. There was no wrong in depreciation of this last order. The scouts are always ready to Init the hay,' as ihe scout expression has it, when it is time to do the same.

There were some spirited contests held on the baseball dia- ,nond at the foot of the hill below camp last week. The Whangdoodles proved the worst bali players of the crowd, and were beaten by all. The Doodle Bugs were next. and the Wampus Cats and Who d d-Have-Thunk-Its were tied for first place. Although not of the highest order of professionalism, the ball playing at Camp Andrews was surely as hot and as

 T didn't. either; but what if I did? That did not give you any right to hit at me-" this accompanied with some more glaring.
 Someone spies an official advancing to the scene of activities. Kangaroo! Let's have a kangaroo court.'' he yells. This cry is also taken up from all sides. The two principals are taken aside and placed on log or elsewhere to await trial. A Judge is speedily found. and a prescott ing attorney is appointed Then the at- torney for the defense shows up and the trial is on.
 Accused, stand up. Did you or did you not take said sandwich of plaintiff. Johnny Millse asks the judge in sol emn voice.
 No. sir, haven't touched Johns old sandwich. and he knows it, too. See here,'
 Silence in the court. Counsel for the plaintiff, what have you to say?"
 My client was fixin' to eat a meat sandwich, which the cook had given him, when he heard some one call his name. He looked around to see who it was. and when he turned back around his sandwich was gone. Herb over there was standing near him. and he looked Ike he had been eating something hur- riedly. He laughed when he saw John. and then my client went for him.
 You'd have laughed. too, if you saw what I did, said Herb. Just then the camp mascot came around the corner of tent licking his jaws and wagging his tail. Herb shouts: That's what I was laughing at. There's where your old sand wich went.' The court is adjurned for the day.
 The above is a typical manner in which quarrels between the scouts are settled. There is no dissension and hard feeling at Camp Andrews grudge is never heard of. and good fea'ins raisus su- preme. se 7.

SCOUT OFFICIALS MAKE
 CHANGE IN THEIR PLANS

It was the original plan of the scout officials to run the camp for just three weeks, but in lieu of the fact that there have been many requests for a longer camping season, this plan has been al tered.
 The camp fee has been $5 This includ- ed all expenses. The scout officials were well aware of the fact that this fee would not cover the expenses of each boy, but they had made preparations for fund to care for the extra expense money eeded. This preparation was for three W eeks only. In order to enable Camp Andrews to be run longer the following plan has been adopted:
 The camp will remain open as long as 25 boys attend, each paying fee of BIO A careful account of the expenses in cured will be kept, and if the fee proves will be returned to the scout at the end of his stay at camp. This is the present plan of the scout council, but it is sub ject to change at any time. Below is given the official statement, given out by F. IT. Andrews, Birmingham scout commissioner:
 The executive committee, Birmingham council. Boy Scouts of America, original ly provided in their budget for a three weeks camp. with the knowledge that the fee of s5 per week which was to be paid by the scout attending the camp would not be sufficient to pay the full expense incurred, the budget provision being drawn upon for the balance
 The camp has been so successful, and there are so many who have requested that it be continued indefinitely during the summer. the executive committee has

TROOPS NEWS

The scouts of Troop 1s have taken pledge upon themselves to be- come troop of first class scouts by Sep tember l. That is, every scout in the troop will be a first-class scout at the end of the time between now and Sep tember. Of course, this cannot be ac- complished without study and hard work Consequently. the troop has set aside Wednesday nights as special night for study. Each scout will meet at the reg ular meeting place, the Southside Baptist church, and will receive instructions and aid on the different tests through which a second-class scout must pass to become first class.
 ! Recently the tnoop was divided. All the scouts IA years of age and under formed a new troop, Troop 36.

WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING
FOR SOLDIERS IN FRANCE
Fight in the Ranks of the Red Cross Against
Pain, Disease and Death.

They have known very well the risks
they were taking-the two thousand
and more women who have gone to
France for varied services under the
American Red Cross, and the more
than nine thousand nurses whom the
American Red Cross has assigned to
foreign duty under the United States
Army and Navy Nurse Corps.
They went under orders, as soldiers
do; prepared for any emegencies, as
soldiers do; they assumed many
strange and unforeseen tasks, as SOL
diers do. Literally, they went as
fighters, against pain, disease and
death.
A mobile surgical unit" of nurses
those words don't mean very much,
perhaps, the first time we hear them.
But see such an unit follow an army
up to an advanced post; see how the
nurses work with steady hands beside
the surgeons as the Stretchers with the
newly wounded are brought in See
thousands of them in evacuation hos
pitfalls, base hospitals, conyalescent
hospitals, tuberculosis hospitals; some
of them in French military hospitals
where sometimes our men are sent:
see them with their specialized skill
in head surgery, or fracture work, or
psyehiatry all these women who
keep head and hand cool and steady.
when the ambulances unload great
harvests of wounded Then we say
the words Our Nurses as we say
Our Soldiers" "Our Sailors" "Our
Marines"
On the night Of March 25th, when
the Germans were fast advancing, and
already within six kilometers of
Annel, an outpost of Compiegne, two
American doctors remained, who un-
Ger order of the French government,
had sent the patients and personnel
of their hospital farther back the
night before The artillery was deaf
ening, but the American Ambulance
sections kept bringing their wounded
to Annel. These doctors said that as
long as the American boys brought
them wounded they would operate.
Two nurses volunteered from Com
piegne, and so in the deserted chateau
the two surgeons, the two nurses and
the ten drivers worked calmly on,
while the buzz of aeroplanes shook
the air, and the blasting CONS shook
the earth.

The girl with the Sylphlike figure
can wear the collarless, straight-line
dress, incomparably well, with its
easy, casual sash or girdle-if she is
graceful. Therefore, dresses on these
simple lines always compel attention
and many times the heartiest admira-
zion. But it is their province to mere
ly follow the lines of figure that
needs no flattering. The brisk autumn
weather, with it's balmy middays has

where acknowledgement women fore
gather. Floating panels, tunics of va
rious lengths and hues, clever draper

and neck finishings and much latitude
