the grandmothers and -grandfathers

The parlors are in the other house
on the other side of the wall. There
is no passageway. so we have to skip
across the yard when we go over
there. They are rooms similar to
these. with the same shadowy figures
peopling them. ...
After dinner the girls went over to
the parlors and danced. but we had

GIRL GUIDES OF ENGLAND.

In England, when the success of the
boy scout movement had completely
won the public to the program devel-
oped by Lieut.. Gen. $. 5. Baden-Pow-
ell. demand arose for similar or
ganization for the girls of the couIl-
try.
Calling Lady Baden-Powell TO the
leadership, those who We're Interested
began the development of a program
as distinctiyely feminine ms the boy
scout movement is masculine. Avoid
ing even the terminology used in the
boz scout movement, the leaders
adopted for the new organization the
name 1.-THE Girl Guides Of England.
The membership Of the organization
comes from all classes The largest
and most exclusive private schools IN
England were among the first to take
up guiding and from their ranks have
gone out girls who are now commits
sioners for large areas. The girl guides
are no less plucky than the boy scouts
and they are living up TO the highest
and hest principles too, The member
ship is now over seventy thousand and
is growing rapidly.
The main activities Of the guides
are those connected with building,
handicraft, service for others and
/ health.

Luminous Bacteria.

There Is Il striking article In knowl-
edge on luminous bacteria. Mr. Bar
nard, who writes the article, includes
careful directions rs to how the light
producing bacteria may be obtained
and grown. These bacteria emit light
that is produced entirely by themselves
altogether independently of any ex-
traneouS light source; in fact, they
grow and produce light better If kept
entirely In the dark. Their efficiency
as light producers Is extremely high,
and were 1t possible to carry out on
commercial scale the process of light
production as it occurs In bacteria a
tremendous step forward would be taxi
en-. The natural habitat of these or
ganisms seems to be almost exclusive
ly sea water, or at least water such
as Is found In estuaries where an ap-
probable quantity of saline matter is
present. The most easily produced
organisms Of this group Is the photo
bacterium phosphorescens. 1t may be
obtained from a dead herring or mack
erel.

polNes OF THE SCOUTS.

The scouts are good at salvaging.
The boys Of Troop No. III in the
Bronx, New York city, are collecting
tinfoil and lead and also fruit pits,
but best of all they are gathering all
the short pencils for the sick soldiers
in the base hospital there.
The boy scouts Of Auburn, wash,
are very proud to be given the honor
of belonging to the fire department,
and are anxious for some kind of a
conAagration to occur that they may
have a real tryout
Scout Executive J. u. Huchingson OF
Denver took advantage Of the closing
of the schools to arrange outdoor
drills and various scout exercises and
tests every day.
The scouts in Conyers, Ga, put a
war savings stamp display ad in the
naper and have sold several thousand
dollars worth.
Scout William Kress of Troop No. q,
Cleveland, saw man using an Ameri-
can flag to wash window with. Scout
Kress didn't think what he ought to
do. He knew and then he didsit. He
found policeman and the man Il

FRENCH BOY SCOUTS BUSY.

A letter from former Scoutmaster
Godfrey w. Talbot, now in France,
says:
81 was with the French army, ana
found that scouting in the largo
cities in France has big hold on the
people and that the French scouts are
very like our scouts. | went to
splendid scout rally in Paris, and must
confess they put on an entertainment
even better than any / have seen our
boys do.
every Sunday | used to see patrols
of scouts starting on hikes out in the
country near Paris, and they were a
fine looking lot Of boys. Practically
all the messenger boys Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross were French boy scouts,
and the only good messengers we hau
at the 'Y' headquarters were scouts,
so you see scouting does good to the
French boys as well as to ours"
