As One Girl Learned It.

Japanese girls love to study, but
as yet, they have not learned to
think for themselves. They devour
all stories they can get their hands
on concerning the people of the
western world, and try to become
just like them.
Miss Regan illustrated this point
by telling the girls story of GER
tain Chinese girl she knew in school,
who dressed herself UP in her best
clothes one day, stuck a cigaret in
her mouth and then planted herself
at the front gate, at which post she
smiled pleasantly. and spoke to every
man who passed by.
When asked why she did it, she
replied that that was the way Amer
lean girls did when they wanted to
catch a man."
Miss Regan's presence at the camp
and her store of interesting expert
ences in the orient about which she
is telling the girls, makes the Lake
view campers very eager to see the
real Japanese girls who are expected
to arrive at their camp soon.

CITIES HAVE
PERSONALITY
French Government So Decides In
Rewa riding Town For Its srav-
cry During the
War.
[By Carl A. Randau, United Press
Staff Correspondent

Staff Correspondent
PARIS, (By Mail)-Has a city a
personality? Can a town be brave
The French government has answered
these questions in the affirmative.
France has rewarded a number OF
towns and cities for their bravery dur
ing the present and former wars.
Paris, itself, has recently been granted
the Croix de Guerre. Now the town OF
Bitche, out in Alsace-Lorraine, has
been added to the list of the brave by
being cited for the Cross of the Legion
of Honor, the present reward oeins
made for the towns service nearly
fifty years ago before 1t was torn
away from France.
The first recognition Of the bravery
of cities was recorded in 1915 when
Napoleon, during the hundred days, is
sued a decree authorizing the cities OF
Chalons-sur-Soane, Tournus, and st.
Jean-de-Losne to place the Eagle OF
the Legion of Honor on the coat-of-
arms of the three communities for
their brave conduct during the cam
paigns of 1914.
Until 1864 no more cities were &C
corded war honors. Then in that year
Roanne was decorated. After 1870
the list became longer and included
successfully Chateaudun, Belfort,
Rambervillers, st. Quentin, Dion,
Paris, Bazellies, Lille, Vallenciennes,
Landreche, ST. Dizier and Peronne. In
1916 the historic city Of Verdun was
added to the list Of Legion of Honor
recipients.
Bitche, the latest recipient, has for
FORTY wears been under German domf-
nation. The sacrifice and bravery of
the town in the dark days of the
frussian invasion Of 1870 won the
coveted honor.

Miss Ruth Regain of New York
City. who has been Y. W. c. A.
worker in Japan for number of
years, is guest of the camp this
weekend. Friday afternoon she
talked to the girls about women OF
other countries and Especially about
the Y. w. G. A. work in the orient
She taught them some oriental games
during the play hour, and told the
girls Japanese stories.
The Girls Of Japan.
Miss Regan's work in Japan is
located at Toxic where the only as
sociation building in that country Is
built There are twelve secretaries
from the western world and thirty
native helpers doing the work In
Japan. The Y. w. c. A. building at
Toxic has become famous even in
America William Adams Brown,
professor in the Union Theological
college, New York, says that it Is
the most appropriate building in the
world, of any he has seen. for Its
work. 1t is combination of oriental
and western architecture.
There are only few opportunities
for girls to obtain an education above
that offered by the government high
schools said Miss Regan Friday
afternoon. There is one English
school, conducted by Japanese
woman sixty years old, where girls
may receive higher education. The
head Of this school, Miss Tshda, was
one Of the first FIVE Japanese girls
to come to America to be educated.
She came to the United States when
she was nine years old to go to
school. Her training covered num-
Der of years, the last ones being
spent at Bryn Mawr and Vassar,"
Miss Regan told the girls.
