REMINDED HER OF SALMON
American Traveller in Europe Con-
!, fesses She Would Have Welcomed
Dish Once Despised.

Elisabeth Fraser, traveller and
writer, was talking at a diplomatic re-
ception in Paris about her recent ex-
periences in Vienna.
"It is difficult, said Miss Fraser, "to
satisfy ones hunger there. even, at
hotels that cost S15 day.
Eating my unappetizing dish Of
hashed turnips, which frequently COM
posed the principal dish of the menu,
I thought regretfully of the salmon l

Miss Fraser laughed.e

try Of Canada, where Salmon-boiled.

What Yves Did.

Yves Whittle, q teamster down fn
Lowell, Ark, was SO patriotic during
the fall Of 1918, before the Hun was
finally vanquished, that he put a
mortgage on his team and wagon for
$50 and bought War Savings Stamps
in his desire to do his duty by the
government. Some thought Yves was
doing more than his financial strength
warranted. But he just went down
into the woods, cut up fuel and sold
it and the mortgage was soon lifted.
Now Wes is buying more stamps, be-
cause ha reaiizes their value and finds
ho can save.

SEE VALUE OF MOTOR TRUCK
French Business Men Realize That
Their System of Freight Transpor-
tation Is Obsolete.

That the war brought to France an
object lesson In the utility of the
motortruck as means of freight
transportation appears in plans now
under way to develop a long haul
system. 1t Is hoped thereby to quicken
the movement of goods and lessen
the impatience Of various business
interests with the Slowness of rail-
way and waterway traffic. The prac-
ticability Of the motortruck as
freight carrier was revelation to
Frenchmen of business who had de-
pended in normal times on what would
be held an abnormally slow service.
From Havre to Paris by boat means
often journey Of at least three
months, and at the quickest, which
requires special arrangement with the
government, takes about four weeks.
Commenting on railroad tranSporta-
ton between Paris and the seaports,
Paris business man is reported as
saying that from Havre one must e1-
pect delay of one or two months,
from Bordeaux delay of two or
three months, and that "when goods
fol Paris reach Marseilles they stay
there" The humorous exaggeration
illustrates the condition which is
turning Frenchmen to the hopeful
project of long hauls by motortrucks,
a solution which will probably de-
velop because the nation is already
provided with excellent roads.

GIRL SCOUTS BATTLE
TO MAKE PRICES DROP
Many Troops In This State Are Inter.
ested In Deferred Spending Plan
Outlined by National Director.

More than seventy thousand Cir
Scouts, according to an announce.
ment made recently at National Girl
Scout headquarters, 1S9 Lexington
Avenue, New York, have adopted the
principle of deferred spending as 8
means of combating hysterical prices
Of the present day and "doing their
bit" to help put the nation on a sta
bic economic basis. Instead Of spend
ing all of the money that they earn
or get from parents as gifts or allow
anees, hundreds of these patriotic
girls in each Of the eighty-three local
councils throughout the United States
are investing in Treasury Savings
Certificates and War Savings Stamps,
obtainable at the majority of banks
and trust companies, or at local post
Offices.
South Carolina Girl Scout Troops
interested in this announcement are
as follows: Andrews, Miss Frances
Pegram, captain; Columbia, Miss
Adele Minahan, Miss Neal Thain,
Mrs. A. T. Gibbs, captains; Troop 1,
Estille, Mrs. D. Lewis Husbands, cap
tain; Graniteville, Miss Attic Phillips,
captain; Troop l, Greer, Mrs. j. Por-
ter Bales, captain; Hardeeville, Miss
Dreka Wilder, captain; Heath
Springs, Miss Alma Van Landingham,
captain; Mewberry, Miss Blanche Da-
wilson, captain; Troop l, Pickens,

Spring, Mrs. Jerrold Watson, captain;
Troop l, Rock Hill, Miss Sara Mar
cum, captain; Saluda, Mrs. Colon
Wise, captain; Spartanburg, Miss
Marjorie Potwin, captain; Trenton,
Mrs. Lola Edison, captain.
"One Of the ten Scout laws is that
Ra Girl Scout must be thrifty" says
Mrs. Jane Deeter Rippin, national di-
rector of Girl Scouts. "This means
that a Scout must avoid all useless
waste Of every kind, must be careful
when spending her money and must
always remember that she should
save every penny that she can invest
in safe manner. This habit of saw
ing, if practiced regularly in youth,
will make for better womanhood and
will also give to the Girl Scout sur
plus in time Of need.
reports coming into National Girl
Scout headquarters show that the
idea behind the governments "work
and save" movement appeals to Girl
Scouts. They like the Treasury Saw
ings Certificates, for they are forward
looking girls. That the investment
now Of $500 means the return ia
anuary, 1925, of 800, with the
aoney meanwhile absolutely safe
.uarded from loss through accident
r theft, shows them that the certifi-
ate is sound. And where are the
iris of America who do not have
reama Of the days in the near fu-
ure? Some want to give present
. their mothers; some wish to save
or a trip; others desire to start q
und for educational purposes. These
re only a few of the many reasons
girls to save and to invest
ow in government securities"
