Girl Scout activities

The activities Of the Girl scouts may
be grouped under flve headings, cor
responding TO i've phases Of women's
life today: The hOme-maker, the pro-
ducer, the consumer, the citizens, the
human being.
Woman's most ancient way OF SER
vice Is the home-maker, the nurse and
the mother. The Girl Scouts program
provides incentives for practicing wo-
mans world-old arts by requiring an
elementary proficiency in cooking,
housekeeping, ilrst aid. and the rules Of
healthful living for any Girl Scout
passing beyond the tenderfOot stage.
or the forty-odd subjects for which
proficiency badges are given, more
than one-fourth are in subjects direct
ly related 10 the services OF woman in
the home. as mother, nurse or home
maker. Into this work. so often distaste-
ful because solitary. is brought the
sense OF cOmradeship. This is effected
partly by having much OF the actual
training done in groups. Another ele-
ment is the public recognition, and re-
warding OF skin in this, woman's most
elementary service to the world, US
ually taken for granted and ignored.
The spirit Of play infused into the
simplest and most repetitious OF house
hold tasks banishes drudgery. give
MS. Oh give us" says Carlyle, "a man
who sings at his work. He will do more
In the same time. he win do it better,
he viii preserve longer. Wondrous Is
the strength OF cheerfulness; altogeth-
er past comprehension It's power Of en-
durance."
Woman is Of service as a producer.
Handlcrafts OF many sorts enter into
the program Of the Girl Scouts. In
camping, girls must know how 70 SET
I'D tents. build lean-to's, and construct
freplaces. They must also know how
10 make knots Of various sorts to use
for bandaees. trying parcels, hitching
and so forth. Among the productive
occupation in which proficiency badges
are awarded are bee-keeping, dairy
ing and general farming, gardening,
weaving and needlework.
Again, woman Is OF service as a con-
sumer. One OF the features in mod
ern economies which Is only beginning
TO be recognized is the fact that women
form the. consuming public. There are

very few purchases, even for mems own
use, which women do not have a hand
IN selecting. Practically the entire
burden Of household buying In all de-
partments falls on the woman. I'm
France, this has long been recognized
and the woman Of the middle classes
are the buying partners and bookkeer-
ers in their husbands business. The
Girl Scouts encourage thrifty habrs
and learing economy Of buying in all
or It's activities. One OF the ten scout
laws Is that "a Girl Scout Is Thrifty Z"
No small part OF a woman's service
is that OF citizenship. The basic or
gsnization OF the Girl Scouts into the
self-governlng unit Of a patrol is in It.
self an excellent means Of political
training. Patrols and troops conduct
their own meetings and the scouts learn
the elements Of parliamentary law.
Working together in groups, they real
ize the necessity for democratic de-
cisions. They also come to have COM
munity interests OF an impersonal sort.
This Is perhaps the greatest single con-
tribution Of the Scouts toward the train
ing OF girls for citizenship. Boys, from
youth TO manhood, from the earliest
baseball experience to the casting Of the
FIRST ballot. have been held together by
common interests Of an impersonai
character. Girls have had. IN the past,
no such common interests. Their games
have been either solitary or in very
small groups In activities largely OF a
personal character. II women are TO
be effective IN modern political soci-
ETY., they must have, from very earli-
est youth, interest and occupations
which will bring them together.
All ora woman's activities depend up
on woman as a human being. The ac-
tivities OF the Girl Scouts have been
selected for their success in develop
ing real human beings. Real work may
be followed with a great deal OF en-
joyment provided 70 IS creative and
awakens the instinct OF workmanship.
But it is when at play that human be-
ing realizes his own nature the most
fully. So dancing, sports Of all kinds
hiking, camping. boating, athletics and
story telling are encouraged not only
as a means OF recreation ana for physi
cal development. but are made as a basic
part o. the Chr Scout prorsr

Topics Of the Time,

Senator Kenyon In following his
best Judgment Ia for Senator john
son and In so doing Ia being criti-
cized by some newspapers In his
home state. The state Is OF course
for Lowden but there is no reason
why Senator Kenyon should not
favor and assist the California man.
Johnson has corkihg fine record
in his own state and no criticism
should attach to the Iowa senator
who chooses to support him.

Well. what's the matter with the

age presidential aspirants Of any
campaign.
II Hoover could pick UP q nice
bunch of delegates to both conven-
tons while he wouldn't stand much

might be able TO name the candidate

pleasing, and perhaps a profitable,
proposition for the managers.

THE MICHIGAN sENATORsHIP,

The conviction OF Senator New
berry and sentence 10 penal servitude
for violation of the election laws
leaves the Michigan senatorship in
the air. Certainly the convicted
senator should not sit and act in the
senatorial office while under convic-
ton and sentence whatever later
conclusion the higher courts may or
may not arrive at The evidence
brought out in the trial OF the sem
ator indicates that the methods used
| by the opposition TO him in that
| election require investigation by the
courts. The mere fact that one can
didate was successful in landing an
office by Irregular and illegal
methods would naturally make him a
shining target for prosecution. But
failure to land does not relieve the
opposition from similar prosecution.
Michigan should now proceed 10
the election laws as were indicated
by the testimony In the Newberry
| case. II methods similar to those on
| which Newberry was convicted were
! in use by the other side the prosecu-
lions should be as severe and the
sentence upon conviction run equal
with that of the Newberry de-
| PENDANTS.
II 1t shall be found upon proof that
illegal conditions existed on the Ford
| side as in the Newberry case then
the candidate opposed TO Newberry
should be sent along with Newberry
to similar period of seclusion ard
meditation.
If the senate may and should See
fit to declare the Michigan senator
ship vacant on the evidence said to
have been brought out in the New
berry trial it would be the better way
out of the tangle. Mr.. Newberry,
whatever the upper courts may de-
| eide can not be useful man in that
| office. Mr.. Ford, aside from any
methods that may have been used in
his behalf in the election convinced
the public of his unfitness for the
office thru his own mouth upon the
witness stand. Michigan politics and
Michigan and the senate of the
United States would be the better for
the elimination of both Newberry
and Ford and the appointment of u
useful man 70 All the place.

THE WILSON TREATY FAILS.

An impossible treaty has been sent
back to the president by the senate
II was Mr.. Wilson's treaty that was
sent back. He refused to compro-
mise upon it. The covenant-treaty
must be accepted as Mr. Wilson de-
sired without reservation by the
bodv constitutionally created to pre-
won't the absolutism which was pre-
ciseIv what the president had at
tempted and which the senate has
defeated. 1t was Mr.. Wilson's docu-
ment. Great Britain and France
and the nations most interested had
agreed to the reservations which the
senate desired to make. In fact
those nations saw and accepted the
necessity of the reservations. When
this was made clear by the Grey
letter the treaty became Mr.. VIII
sons and the responsibility for Its
defeat or acceptance devolved upon
him alone. He preferred personal
defeat to agreement with the senate
and the nations involved IN 1t. SO
the treaty went back to the White
House as it should have gone under
the circumstances. Whether Mr..
Wilson'S refusal to listen to the SEN
ate was rooted in egotism and OBJ
stinacy or an attempt to create
campaign issue, hold his own power
over his party councils or a conse-
ouence of physical incompetence
which might be naturally expected to
follow severe paralytic seizure is
a matter to be guessed at.
The fact remains that the settle
ment which should have Immediately
followed the armistice is still to be
made and that we are no nearer a
settlement than before; that seri-
ously sick man is in the executive
chair and that the office held by
Jim Blaine is vacant ana 10 De 1llieo
bv a person who is little known and
entirely untried and in whom there
seems little or no popular conf
dence.
The congress of the United States
should set about seeking a settle
ment which will protect the United
States and content, if not satisfy. the
allied nations. Such settlement
would be easy to make II the presi-
dent would permit it to be made.
. The first thing the congress should
do is to recall it's own constitutional
powers transferred in a fit of en-
thusiasm and bad judgment
