traders were likely to bring themselves

grain laws, was a factor making for
caution. Prices compare as follows:

DEFINITION OF A KISS
Girl Scout Notes
WHAT MY MOTHER THINKS
ABOUT THE GIRL SCOUTS

Ny mother says that every girl who
has the opportunity to become Girl
Scout should seize the chance, for one
acquires much knowledge besides
having great sport
She learns to cook, practice first
aid, etc. Besides this there are the
various Scout activities. One Of them
the mention of which always brings a
thrill of plea sure to US girls. is camp
ing. When at camp there are many
sports which We enjoy besides gain
ing some knowledge. One for instance
Is hiking. On hike there is chance
to practice trailing, cooking in the
open and to study botany and natural
history.
Hikes such as these. tennis, basket
ball, golf and swimming. are all
healthy exercises and if not overdone
are of great benefit both mentally and
physically.
So my mother says that if every
girl in America could become a Girl
Scout and live up TO its principles.
that the self-improvement off individ-
uals in America would be assured in
the future.

Standards of Living

A standard of living is hard to define, for
many factors enter into an understanding of the
term and almost every person has his own inter-
,retation. Perhaps the following definition will
DE broad enough to satisfy every one: sens
IDLE standard of living is one that affords physi-
cal comforts, sufficient food, and time and oppor-
Unity for relaxation.
A foolish standard of living is one that ex-
ceeds the pay envelope and induces us to live be-
yond our means in foolish emulation of persons
whose income is greater than is ours.
Too many of US are hankering after STAN
dard which attain. Too many of
us spending money for luxures that ought
to be going into the savings banks and safe in
vestments. Too many of US are living up" the
money ought to store up" AS a result we
are dissatisfied and grumbling. And what is
still more important, we will not realize our folly
until a period of depression visits the country
and we will be vainly wishing we had the surplus
which we wasting.
We have more ready money than any people
on earth. Not all Of us are wasting it either.
The secretary Of the treasury announces that
within the last p months 81 1O7 900, 900 has been
invested in thrift stamps, savings stamps and
treasury certificates.
This might be taken as warning by per-

sons who setting up a false standard of
living that the thrifty and wise citizens of the
country are laying aside money for rainy day
and for old age 1t also proves that this class
is not listed with the foolish persons, afflicted
with the get-rich germ, who annually lose $780,
100000 in wild cat speculations, such worth
less mine oil, rubber and other alleged stocks.
Persons who save their money to invest it in
government securities and carefully selected
bonds and stocks, recommended by bankers will
re less inclined to wall about bad times and less
eager to grasp at untried theories that will upset
the world and give us something for nothing"

Theodore Roosevelt on Industrial Peace

'In our complex industrial civilization of to-
day, the peace of righteousness and justice, the
only kind of peace worth having, is at least as
necessary in the industrial world as it is among
nations"
Those words spoken by Theodore Roosevelt
IN 1910, showed the colonel's understanding of
the importance of problem which has come to
press the entire world for solution since the world
way Colonel Roosevelt used those words in a
speech in Christiana, Norway, in acknowledging
the Nobel peace prize of 1905. awarded to him for
his work in promoting the peace between Russia
and Japan. The prize consisted of gold medal
and $40 600 in cash. The medal Colonel Roose-
velt kept, but the $4,000 he used as a nucleus
for a foundation to forward the cause of in
dustrial peace"
Il think in most cases. Colonel Roosevelt
said in his speech, "it would be emnently just
and proper that the recipient of the prize should
keep for his own the prize in it's entirety.
But in this case while I did not act officially as
president of the United States, it was neverthe-
less only because l was president that I was en-
abled to act at all; and I felt that the money
must be considered as having been given me in
trust for the United States'

HILDA
OF splendid old Morse lineage is
Hilda The CHIEF OF the Ealkyrur was
Hildur and the names of Hid and
lIillia were given TO other war maid
ems. Hilda is said TO signify battle"
by a literal translation. which proba-
bly, means "war-like spirit" under
broader Interpretation.
The Teutonic world claims the
name and insists that it means Sup
port" giving it to one of their prin-
cipal war maidens. The real origin
seems difficult to settle upon, but It
is generally conceded that Hllda and
peace are not synonymous.
For a time Hilda was one of the
commonest examinations to feminine
names in the TeutOnic world and grad
ually the word came TO mean maid
en-" and was used interChangea bly,.
1t Was much used in the North of Eng
land also, where the Deiran princess,
Hildur, became the holy abess, Hilda
OF Whitby, succeeding St. Begga and
leaving a reputation for sanctity.
Though Clara de Glare could not see
It, . vision OF the holy abess can be
seen under certain conditions of light
in the Nhitby charc! today; the am
monte which are believed to have
been serpents turned TO stone at the
prayer Of the abess are also there.
Around Whitby Hilda is still the most
popular OF feminine names, in honor
of the holy woman who bore ii.
The mother of Rolf Ganger was the
NorWeg ian Hillr. Indeed the name
has confined itself largely to the PEG,
pies OF the North. 1t suggests the
splendid strength of the Nalkyries
the romance OF the land of the mid
night sun; the haunting melancholy
of the Gothic races. 1t is one Of the
few names without diminutives or de
rivativcs
Coral is the jewel assigned TO those
who bear the name OF Hilda. if they
would have health and prosperity
The deep pink stone has the raupeuuC
qualities; it shares the vitality Of the
wearer to such an extent that it is
supposed TO pale or grow more vivid
