open DOOR" POLICY
STANDS, SAYS HUGHES

Washington, D. C.-Formal declara-
ton of the intention of the United
States to continue its support of the
principle of the open door was con
tanned in note from the state depart
ment to the Chinese minister here.
Secretary of State Hughes has de-
clared, in the note, that this govern
ment continues its whole hearted sup
port of the principle of the open door,
which it regards as essential to the
"free and peaceful development" of
commerce on the Pacific.
The immediate occasion for the note
was an inquiry as to whether the Unit
ed States intended to continue its sup
port of rights accruing to the Federal
Telegraph company under a contract
with the Chinese government Pro-
tests from Denmark, Great Britain and
Japan have been made against the con.
tract.
Secretary Hughes reply was looked
upon as Of wider significance than a
mere assurance that this government
would support the contract with the
telegraph company.
1t is regarded as an intimation that
the United States does not look with
favor on the Anglo-Japanese alliance,
renewal of which is now under discus
sion by the representatives OF Great
Britain and her colonies.

Camp Fire Girls
Stage Pageant
(By So.Heghts Correspondent

(by So.Heghts Correspondent
Yc scribe and spouse were
among the many hundred guests
entertained at Camp Scalth by
the Camp Fire Girls Sunday.
The Pagaent of Health given
by these girls on the green in
front Of Round Hall was as
pretty a thing as We ever expect
to see, and as impressive in its
imagery as it was dainty in its
presentation.
Troops of girls costumed as
flowers, butterflies and bluebirds
led by a dainty mite impersonat-
ing sunshine, danced like spirits
in and out of the shade of the
great trees, Following these
came nimble companies present
ing the sports Of the open air,
tennis, basket ball and archery.
Next the Spirit Of the Waters
was attended by waves, swim
mers, divers and rowcrs, all APP
propriately costumed and most
graceful in the trained motions
which presented each of these
water sports.
The Spirit Of the Mountains
and the Storm Spirit, the latter
in filmy ghstening black were
waited on by winds, clouds, snow
and Tightening and rain.
The attendant Spirits of the
Pines drapcd in the actual green
Of the woods were especially
facinating, and lastly the Camp
Fire Girls themselves presented
in pantomine and song the joys
of the open road and Of the
Pickering camp fires.
A lovely sight for the on-look-
ers; a maze of delicate and
charming movement between the
forest and the sound on a July
day memorable for its beauty.
And last, in spite Of the great
numbers, refreshments for all
ice cream and cake in the great
dining hall with the happy girls
chanting their melodies, and
even some guests contributing a
song.
We are glad that so worthy a
movement should have formed a
center on our island and 50
worth while a use have been
found for one of our many
beautiful beaches,

SCOUTS IN WINTER CAMPS.

Winter camping for the Boy Scouts
of America is ut last becoming more
popular than summer camping
Amongst the entire membership of
nearly 100000 boy scouts in the

already the national headquarters has

boys camp in the world, where nearly
10000 bGys camped throughout the
last summer season. This is the,

At the same time there were winter
holiday boy scout camps in Pawtucket,

what are known as 'snow camps" At
the same time there were many camps

THOUGHT FOR SCOUT PATROLS

There is a nature club for boys in
Ontario which encourages members to
take the names of native birds or an
imals, even fishes and reptiles, using
the Indian version of the name where,
possible. Fortunately it does not re-
quire the boys in every case to take.
on the characteristics of their animal
names. But ii might be good practice
in nature study to expect every mem
Der to be thoroughly informed upon
the species from which he takes his
club membership name. Each troop
of boy scouts is divided into patrols
each with a distinguishing name of
natural ObieCt, usually some Wild an
imal, and the editor of Scouting" in
commenting on the Ontario clubs idea,
says that this ,tSily leads to the sug-
gestion that patrol names might be
utilized far more thal they are as
starting point for Dc Unite lines Of ma
ture study, leading II to interesting
evenings when U",&orG of patrols
