Russia Has Girl
Scouts Since
February

Russia has Girl Scouts. An organi-
zation was formed in February and
class for training girls to be cap
tains and lieutenants of the organ
ization has just been graduated.
The Girl Scouts were organized in
Archangel by Y. w. c. A. secre-
taries who went into Archangel to
establish hostess house for Amer
lean soldiers and to do recreation
work for Russian girls.
Miss Edith Dickerson, formerly
physical director at the Seattle.
Wash, Y. w. c. A., was in charge
of the scouts. She had classes two
nights a week to teach the girls
scout law and customs, and each
Saturday morning had drill and
games. Meetings were held in the
offices of the food co-ODerative

committee of the Russian govern

committee of the Russian govern
ment.
Scout costumes were the great de-
sire of all of the girls, Miss DECKER
son says, and they made them cos
tunes as nearly resembling the Off
cial one as they could from the linn
tied amount and kinds of cloth
which could be purchased in Arch
angel stores.
On Saturday afternoons the scouts
usually took a hike out into the
country and stopped some place to
cook a supper over a hre-an entire
ly new recreation for the Russian
girls. The great difficulty, Miss
Dickerson says, was to keep the girls
from taking enough provisions for
several days and SO weighing them
selves down that they could not
walk easily, even though food was
so scarce in North Russia.

Worth Knowing.

Hardened soap lasts much longer
Natural foods are the most whole
some.
Oil of cinnamon will reduce warts
A fish salad is good summer
luncheon.
Relia bic rubbers save much loss in
canning.
All desserts should be of fruit on
hot days.
Place a piece of paper under lace
needing mending and stitch on the
machine till the hole is filled. Pick
out the paper.
Now is the time to have the kitch-
en- ceiling whitened and walls
reprinted.
Using. a biscuit dough, one can
make apple rolls that resemble Gin
namon buns.
The bristles of a hairbrush can be
stiffened by rinsing in strong salt
solution.

Good old Mother Nature, having

decides to give him an overwhelm-
ing dose of conceit in the way of
consolation prize.
Has it ever been your lot to be
concerned with amateur theatrlcals
and have you ever witnessed the
envy, jealousy, malice and all I'M
charita bleness on the part of every
one not playing leading roles? Have
you ever observed "the feeling" on
the part of the relatives of those
playing minor roles. and have you
ever witnessed such gross self-sat-
isfaction as exhibited by those play
ing leading roles? The sweet young

Household Hints
Canning Kinks.

Canning Kinks.
Test jars, covers, rubbers to see
if in good condition.
Never use rubbers a second time
Have jars stand in hot water while
packing to prevent breaking when
put into boiling water.
Be sure the water is boiling before
putting in the jars.
As soon as the product is pro-
cessed remove the frightened clamps
to exclude all air at once.
Jars must not stand close together
while cooling. They should cool as
quickly as possible.
Hot jars placed on cool metal may
break. Best to use a board. Avoid
draughts on hot jars.

POLICE CONTROL BRINGS END TO
 DAY OF RIOTS
(Continued from Page One.)


 Colored bathers from anotE AT beach al 18th Street, attracted by tte fighting, came in force, and soon stones and clubs were hurled in all directions, many people being in jured.
 After the fighting near the beach had been quelled, trouble broke out luther west near the center of the colored district. John O'Brien, a po- 1iceman was attacked by a mob at 29th and State streets after he had tried to rescue a fellow policeman from a crowd Of negroes. Several shots were fired. toward him and he was struck in the arm. He fired into the crowd, three cOlored men being hit, one of whom died later in hos pitaI.
 After the police reserves had dis persed the crowds along State street and other parts of the thickly popu- lated coIored district, whites from other parts of the city dragged sey- eral negroes from street cars and beat them severely, but according to the police records early today two fatalities resulted from the rioting
 The two colored men who were shot at 29th street, where one was killed, are said to be seriously though not fatally wounded Many stray shots were heard during the night and police answered two riot calls early today but their services were not required in either instance.
 It is estimated that there are close to t5O. 900 negroes in Chicago, nearly 5O,0OO of whom were drawn here during the last three or four years by the attractive wages in shops and factories engaged in manufacturing war materials Virtually all of the negroes live on the South Side of the city and many have acquired prop erty in desirable neighborhoods oc- cupied by the whites This has led to many minor clashes between the races and in a number of instances in recent months bombs have been exploded in buildings occupied by negroes

 One day I was taken i'll with a headache. It was the first I had had in years and was amazed. My stom- ach felt tired and out of sorts but I thought nothing of 1t and let It slip by. But more headaches came and finally I had pains in my back Now pains in your back when you are bending and stepping all day aren't very pleasant-in fact you just can't work.
 After bending over any length of time whom I straightened up every thing became black before my eyes. I knew that there was some thing wrong inside so I took all the advice that friends could give and stocked up with the greatest assortment of "sure fire'' remedies that I could get. They were a great help Yes! They made me worse.
 Finally I got wind of CINOT and 1t only took two bottles to put me on my feet and make me a well man. could hardly believe the change I just want to tell everyone that feels as I did that CINOT is the best rem edy in the world"

H0ME MADE ROOT
 BEER HELD NOT ALWAYSINN0CENT|'

Philadelphia, July 2S.-Root beer made at home may not always be as innocent as it's name. Professor Charles H. La Wall, dean of the Phil adelphia College of Pharmacy, eau tions the public to look out for the kick. The home brew, he finds, has an alcoholic content of TIT per cent.
 Ut will take gallons to produce the familiar dizziness" he said, but it may provide. some exhilaration.'
 ''I was surprised recently" declared Professor La Wall, "to notice a friend coughing a ilttle after drinking sev eral glasses of homemade root beer. I became interested and began an analysis of some of the beverage. The result was surprising. I found th1+ the alcoholic content was mucn greater than I had supposed.
 q discovered that after standing five days the beverage contained .52 per cent. of alcohol; after ten days the percentage jumped to 1-36 and a day or later had climber to TIT. The alcohol came from a natural ferm enta tion.''
