VETERANS SOCIETY.
TAKES NOVEL NAME

Adopting for their name "The Men
Who Never Wanted to Be Soldiers" a
new veterans organization was
formed yesterday when former mem
bers of Troop A, District National
Guard. met at the New Ebbitt Hotel
and discussed plans for continuing in
civilian life the organization which
became famous in military history.
or the eighty-three members of the
organization at the beginning of the
war, seyenty-eight were commissioned
officers and seven were killed in ac-
ton. The five enlisted men served as
first sergeants during the war.
Much discussion of a name for the
new organization, which expects to
exist as civilian association, resulted
in the name of THE Men Who Never
Wanted to Be Soldiers" The name
does not fit with their record, how
ever, for of the total number who
went to war, twenty won the d. S. c..
FIVE the French CroiX de Guerre, and
forty were cited.
The principle of additional COM
pensation for ex-service men, advo-
Gated in the weekly veterans news
paper, the Stars and Stripes. was
heartily indorsed by the members Of
the eX-soldier body last night.

MERIT PLAN

Senate Body to Recommend
Rigid Examinations for All
Applicants.

Injection of new life into the Wash
ington police force by substituting
the merit system for the present
r'-thod OF appointment and promo
tien. Is the proposal to be considered
by the senate District Comittee along
with increases in pay.
The new plan will be preented to
the full committee either tomorrow
os Tuesday by Senator Calder of New
York, chairman OF the subcommittee
that was appointed to inquire into

Q1ired 10, pass a rigid civil service ex-
animation under the proposals OF the
subcommittee. while examinations
likewise will be required for all pro-
motions. BY this method. Senator
Calder believes. II will be possible to
maintain the department in the high
est state OF efficiency by drawing in
teliigent reliable men to the service.
While the members OF the police
force failed to convince the subcom-
nittee OF the necessity OF requiring
mat the Superintendent of Police be
apotnted from the ranks, the sub
eonimitee. took cognizance of the prin-
ciple involved by recommending that
the assistant superintendent and In
spectors be chosen from the captains
now on, the force as required. SEN
ator Calder did not believe it the best
policy at this time TO subject the ap-
pointment of the superintendent to
civil service examination.
A number OF changes in the salary
basis a sapproyed by the House were
recommended by the subcommittee.
The subcommittee recommended a
new provision that would include the

Mabel, First" "CIcul uldting
Baby IN World, Is Only3,
But, Say-She's Some Girl

Mary's residence, and thus she
shifted from home to home. just like
a book in a circulating library. ard
everywhere she went she was Ijoke,i
upon as sort of toy or pet, to lie
played with, and humored, and ten
passed on to someone else.
So II went until Mabel, in turn,
landed at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. B. Pain, of the lexington Apart
ments. Mrs. Pain is captain of Troop
D, and from the start she had taken
a keen interest in the baby. Mr..
Pain also fell in love with Mabel.
And thus it came that Mabel ceased
to be circulating baby" for the
Pains decided they would like to keep
the baby for good and all. and little
Mabel was formally adopted. The
Pains are English people of culture
and refinement, and as a resuJ: it's
all pretty soft now for Mabel Mr..
Pain is an artist. and Mrs. Pain is a
trained instructor of children, and be-
tween the two they are making a
wonder out of Mabel.
She's Not q "BrOwnie."
girl cannot become a full fiedged
member of the scouts until she is
ten years old. and the girls under
ten are formed into an organiza
tion known as the Brownies. But il
wouldn't be quite safe for anyone to
accuse Mabel of being a Brownie. For
she surely would begin to pout and
in her grown-up way resentfully an
nounce:
I'm not an old Brownie, l want YOU
to understand. I'm a regular Cir
Scout"
And Mabel would be right in say
ing so. For although technically she
is not scout, she attends all of the
scout meetings, goes on all the scout
hikes. and does whatever the rest OF
the, Scouts do. She gets around the
ten-year age limit because of the
fact that she is the mascot OF the
troop. Mascots. you know. are al
ways admitted; for most OF them are
cats. and dogs, and rabbits, and
birds-and they aren't supposed to
know what's going on. But Mabel
you can bet, knows everything that's
taking place.
The Washington times., 1919-10-26

This little story will introduce Miss
Mabel Pain, three years old, the
youngest and tiniest Girl Scout in the
world. Mabel lives right here in
Washington, at the lexington Apart
ments, and she is the mascot of Girl
Scout Troop No. 3, composed of little
lexington girls.
Although only three years of age,
Mabel has had a varied and romantic
career, and if the remainder of her
life holds for her as much excitement
as she has experienced during her
baby years. she will be quite a wonder
long before she grows gray-headeo.
Indeed, Mabel already is a little won
der. for she can swim, hike three
miles without getting tired, say grace
as solemnly as a bishop, recite her A.
B, Cs backward. repeat the Girl
Scouts oath of allegiance to the flag,
say all of the ten Girl Scout laws,
salute with the snap of a West Point
cadet. and do many other things that
the average child of six or seven
would have great difficulty in doing.
Once Was Little Waif.
And all this is the more remarkab BILE
because Mabel once was a little wd;f,
without parents ana "1tNOul nome.
Her origin remains a mystery. and
little Mabel herself has no recol-
lection of her mamma and papa.
Mabel was discovered when the girls
of Troop decided that they wanted
to adopt d baby, real live baby that
would coo, and cry, and kick and
laugh, and all that. 1t was a big
Job for a group of little girls TO adopt
baby as a substitute for their
dollies. And their troop leader prob
ably would have put the quietus on
the whole fine plan had the little
girls not plead with their mothers and
fathers and persuaded them to ap-
prove the project.
So a search was made for a baby
to adopt and little Mabel eventually
was found. All the little girls clap
ped their hands and danced in glee.
They had a baby, and they were
ticlSled. But the question arose:
Now that the girls had the baby,
what in the world were they COINS
to do with it? And thus it was that
Mabel became the worlds first "cir-
| cuIating baby" for the girls decided
| that they would keep the baby sue
cessively, for a couple of weeks at
| a time at their various homes, the
mothers first giving their approval
| OF course.
SO Mabel lived one week with

Pauline's home, still another week al

j. S. PAYS ONE HOUR
BACK TO old SOL
Washingtonians Cop Off Un-
earned Increment In Way
of Extra Sleep.

The United States is square with
the world today. Having borrowed
an extra hour of daylight last spring.
the sixty minutes of Old Soils time
were paid back this morning with
out interest
From now it will be o'clock in
the morning when IL used to be s
o'clock, and instead of rising In the
dark the early light of daybreak will
flood the land when the bread winner
rises to elnhark on hls quest of bring
fng home the bacon.
The city clocks are still one hour
behind time. They win be corrected
within few days, probably, although
IL is not necessary. The Washington
city clocks are ornaments and not
timepieces and only strangers abide
by their verdicts. The postoffice
clock, for the first time since IL
started-about the time George Wash
ington was cutting down his cherry
tree-was found to register the cor,
rect time this morning. Whether II
was a freak of fortune which brought
the universe back to the postoffice
clocks idea of time, or whether the
postoffice clock was set anew with
hopes IL would turn over a new leaf
and quit it's Ananiss-like career has
not been determined. The former
supposition is given weight
Frow now on daylight saving will
go the way of whiskey and gin.
Washington had it's closing spree this
morning in the one hour of extra
sleep. 1t is thought the extra hour OF
day will be forgotten before the de-
mise OF whiskey and gin ceases to be
a sad and constantly recurring mem
ory, however.

WARMOTHERS
LAUNCH DRIVE
FOR MEMBERS
Two Weeks Campaign Is
Opened Here BY American
Women's Legion.

Enrolment Of more than 10000
members in Washington during the
next two weeks is the goal of the
campaign launched today by the
American Women's Legion, as the
first step toward the Organization Of
a national association of war moth
ers, war wives, and war daughters.
According to figures compiled from
the War Department records, there
are more than 10000 gold-star and
blue-star women in Washington, and
join the legion during the next two
weeks. Officers of the legion are ex-
,eedingly optimistic, and already de-
clare the campaign will be an un-
qualified success. Every woman en-
titled to wear a blue star or a-gold
star is eligible to membership. The
dues are 81 per year.
The purposes of the organization
and the legion itself have been un-
qualifiedly indorsed by Mrs. Mary s.
Lockwood, the moving spirit in the
organization of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. "Godspeed to
the American women's Legion in it's
great undertaking; you will succeed
as we have succeeded" is the mes
sage of Mrs. Lockwood to officers of
the legion.
Purpose of Legion.
'The purpose of the American wom-
ems Legion" Mrs. William Corcoran

cussing the campaign, sis to enable
the women who shared together the
anxiety and sorrows of war to main
tain their bonds of friendship and mu-
tual help, and to continue ready in
times of peace to serve the nation
they sought to serve in war.
THE response we have already re-
.ceived convinces us that the war
women of this country desire to unite
in a permanent organization. Those
who endured the tragic losses of war
may And in 1t the consolation of re-
newed service, and those who escaped
the supreme sacrifice will find an op-
portunity to aid the less fortunate.
We are encouraged by the histor-
les OF similar organizations formed
after other wars to believe that the
American Women's Legion may find a
lasting place and valuable work in
the life of the nation"
Loyalty Dominant Chord.

Legion, expressed her conviction that
its objects would strongly appeal to
all patriotic women.

100 per cent Americanism; for love
of country; for service of country; for
the teaching of these things to the
children of the country; for the
friendly cooperation of the women
whose men served in the great war:
for the ever-present remembrance of
the chrippled soldier; for the banding
together of the women whose men
have served, into one. great national
organization"
