EVENTFUL RETURN OF
SCOUTS FROM CAMP
Truck Breaks Down and Occupants
Forage for Dinner-Encampment is
Named "camp Steelman."
SOME JOLLY TIMES REPORTED

Mrs. Henrietta Steelman, guardian of
the Pleasantvil1e Camp Fire Girls, was
honored by having the encampment of
Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls from
this city at Alcyon Park, Pitman, NAM
ed Camp Steelman." Miss Anna L.
Boice was voted the handsomest and
most entertaining girl in the camp.
Miss Mary Ford was voted the best
sport in camp. Miss Elsie Gordon was
voted I he noisiest girl in camp. Carl
Whitman was voted the champion eat
err
On Monday night the girls raided the
boys tent, as a get even' proposition,
pulling over the tents and giving a
shower bath of water, paying especial
attention to the tent of Scout Commits
sioner Macmillan
The camp broke up on Wednesday
when the campers wended their way
homeward.
A start was made for home at 10 o.
clock. About three miles from Malaga,
in attempting to pass another machine,
the truck vas forced off the road, the
shaft pulled out of its socket ard the
driver started in upon repairing the
damage. After two hours hard work
hC saw up IN Ldoh d1iu d Cdl IL ii
by VIM. H. Brill of the well-known
tea firm of Brill Brothers, Philadel-
phia, coming along, played the part of
the Good Samaritan by taking in sever
al of the party and starting on towards
P~leasantville with instructions to
phone to a Pitman garage for assist
ance. During this wait Mrs. Steelman
started out on a foraging expedition
with the youngsters and was success
full in finding a charitable farmers
wife who at a nominal charge prepar-
ed a most delicious lunch. Soon after
this a man from a garage arrived and
went to work to get things into shape.
Another two hours work and the truck
once more started for the best city
on the map" At Richland a stop was
made long enough to procure a gener-
ous supply of pies and candy. Mention
should be made also of watermelons,
cantaloupes, apples, peppers, ETC., OBJ
tanned from farmers along the road.
Camp Director Roland Boyer remained
behind with Scouts Somers Smith,
Harold Frambes. Ralph Gordon and
Eugene Long, who will stay at Alcyon
Park for the Gloucester County Fair
and Labor Day celebration. The truck
load of Boy Scouts and Camp Fire
Girls, in charge of Mrs. Steelman,
guardian of the latter, and the local
scout commissioner, reached 228 North
Main street about 6 o'clock, where
they disembarked. bag and baggage,
and soon scattered for home. In con
clusion it may be said that the Camp
was a marked success in every way.

THE HIGHT COST OF LIVING.

Anyone who wants to live,
In this world to-day,
Even though it's against their wish,
They must give profiteers pay.
Sugar and flour, milk and meat,
Are some of the things that are higf
If prices don't stop raising,
They'll soon be reaching the sky.
Profiteers and H~oarders
Are the only ones that eat;
Things that are decent,
For our lives to keep.
Now the government is after them,
And threatens to put them in jail;
But it seems as though their plan,
Is beginning to fail.
For the High Cost of Living"
Has not decreased a bit,
And while we pay these prices,
The hoarders with diamonds sit.

That's the only way anyone will ever

the French races in May, was covered
with flowers and ostrich in alternating
clusters-yet It did not look large, so
cleverly were the petals of the flowers
and the tiny ostrich tips arranged on
the toque foundation. Lace IS very
favored trimming material; many of
the big picture hats of leghorn or chip
have huttering edges of lace flouncing
and sometimes this lace flouncing falls
quite over the eyes in most fascinating
effect. one of the hats pictured has

velvet ribbon trails through the flow
ers and over the brim and a wide lace
hounce covers the brim and falls two
inches over its edges. You will note
that the lace is gathered scarcely at
all; in fact it is put on so fatty that
the part that overhangs the brim-
edge is drawn down and slightly in
ward, giving the effect of a curtain.
Rose Petal Crowns \ Pretty Notion
one of the charming models for
summer time - perhaps the most
charming of all-is hat with flower
petals all over its crown. The pic
tured hat of this type has a brim of
very supple black straw veiled with
black silk net. The rounded, rather
low crown is completely hidden under
overlapping silk rose petals in shaded
pinks At the extreme top of the
crown snuggles fiat pink rose. The
final note of emphasis is given by q

of the crown, with long streamer ends

A Strong Believer in Thrift Stamps

~HERE are but few women in the
country doing an individual busi-
ness of more than 100000
~year, but Miss Maud NJ Freeman
is one of them. There are innumer-
able secrets of success" for women,
which are no longer secrets. and Miss
Freeman makes no secret of hers She
says that thrift is the great basis for
all progress. and she points to her own
career to prove it. Intelligent saving
of time. energy, and money is the
cardinal principle in Miss Freeman's
success gospel.
At the age of 70, Miss Freeman kept
house for her widowed father on
little farm near Peoria, Illinois. n Few
years later she undertook the study
of stenography. Today she is the
star insurance saleswoman of great
national insurance company and she
handles about $4,000 of insurance
annually. Miss Freeman's faith in
thrift as a means to success was
brought forward through her enthusi-
astic support of the Governments
campaign for intelligent savings
through the sale of Thrift Stamps and
War Savings Stamps. Miss Freeman
is convinced that the Governments
thrift campaign means success Tor
multitudes of women throughout the
country. and she is a persistent war
Savings Stamp purchaser. All of her
savings go into Government securities

hats are oh-soismart and originated
in Paris, where they were copied from
a head-dress worn by the women Of
Asace-Lorraine. The pictured hat Is
made of dotted null and the big

of organdy to give it crispness and
stand-up quality. The frame Is

the dotted null is softly draped. Some

study this pictured sport hat mo-
ment and you will be able to arrange
a new ribbon on your sport sailor IN
a perfectly new and most fetching
manner. Another sport hat pictured
has the favorite poke shape which
shades the eyes and face so admirably.
The hat is made of straw and wool
yarn braided together and printed
crepe in pink and white is laid over
the brim. A narrow, deep blue ribbon
is folded around the high crown near
its base and is made into a smart bow
in front.
