A group of Girl Scouts sat around a fire one evening.

A chafing dish ths-t had con tained fudge, but was wall scraped and guiItiess of fudge at the moment. There are kimonas, and hair brushes, and as they brushed and b>aided, or dreamed by the fire. the Scouts talked.

 Then. you know as well as 60, that the thing to do for acid burns is to neutralize them first with an alkan, and then to cover up the burn from the air. It's the exposure to the air that makes the pain so intense.

LEISURE TO
 GROW WISE

We are so eager for our children 10 know things we knew and all we didn't know at their age that we fail to provide the leisure to grow wise that must lie behind all who think with the heart as well as with the mind"
 This from the wisdom of Annie carroll Moore, in very enlighten- ing little volume. Roads to Child hood (Doran), which is. in its entire ty something of a plea for more metal browsing time for children.
 Annie Carol Moore is supervisor of work with children in the New York public library.
 Roads to Childhood frankly scores books crammed with moralizing, mock heroics and cheap optimism and deplores the tendency toward condescension evident in too many stories and books intended for chill dren. It convincingly explains that children get nothing but a distase for reading from such dull unreali ties.
 Books which are little more than thinly yelled encyclopedias or geog- raphies are also classed with those which do nothing more than bore the childish mind.
 Imaginative things. vital. glowing wiht color and adventure-there are the sort of books to give our boys and girls, says Miss Moore.
 Incidently. she gives some time to a discussion of the work of Hilds Conkling, the nine -year-old girl who has just issued her first books of poems.
 Roads to Childhood is ;-n illuminat- ing book for parents. school teachers and those aspiring to write for chill dren.

 "An acid is any thing like carbolic. or lemon juice or vinegar" Anne pro- ceeded, and an alkali is baking soda. or sodium bicarbol4ate. which is the same thing. or diluted ammonia water. or lime water, or even strong soap suds-"
 The other girls regarded Anne re- spectfully. There were times when it did seem that she should be a medical missionary when she grew up.
 Mother says said Margie, gently. that if you spill something over your hand. and it burns and you don't know what the neutralizing agent is, you can hold it under running water. and that will dilute fl, and wash it off enough to stop the violent pain"
 Her Mother Very Careful.
 Not that there is much danger of spilling poisons over ones hand in our house. smiled Mildred, mother keeps everything like that under lock and key"
 sThe chief thing about burns is to remove the cause. If there is 6 cause to remove, and then to apply a sooth- ing dressing that excludes the air. Congresses of baking soda and water are the best and the most obtainable." said Margie. dreamily. q remember the time burned my arm so badly, it was such a large. painful area And the doctor, instead of wrapping it ell in one huge dressing. covered it with small congresses which he took off and renewed one at a time so there was scarcely any exposure of the burned surface.

A peace petition, signed by 10.2O0 Japanese women who are against war. is brought to the Women's Press Club, New York, by Mrs. Keji Va jama- She is 90 years old. To cross the Pacific at that age, requires real faith in ones cause.
 Mrs. Yajama was the first woman permitted to teach in Japan. Talk about war between Japan and United States worried her. Expenses of her trip from Tokyo to New York were paid out of her meager saw ings. When she announced her mission, she was flooded with com mending letters from Japanese wo- men.
 What can we learn from this old woman's trip? A lot. Principally this: In thinking about Japanese militarists, we should also keep in mind that there are many pacifists in Japan. Their number is grow ing A great pity, that all Japanese young men of military age are not as wise as Mrs. Yajama-

 But the ordinary draft resulting from good ventilation is usually to be had through the windows It is advisable to keep windows open al most always in summer and often in winter.
 Whenever practicable, one should have an entrance for fresh air and an exit for stale air at opposite sides of the room. Where there cannot be a cross current of air such as this, circulation may be established by opening a window both at top and bottom.

Crime Waves A Mattes Of Mental Contaglon
 French Philosopher Says Lies in the Use of Contaslon or rear

To cure criminal contagion 1t is necessary to use the contagion Of fear. The duel disappeared from England the day 1t was known that the survivor of a contest would be hung as a murderer.
 Can humanity be preserved entire ly from mental contagion? Vain hope! Look at the tyranny fashion exercises upon the fair sex. All wo- men will tell you that their hat or their dress is uncomfortable, that their decollete can be fatal to health, and that their high heels are un- hygienic But they would not give them up for anything, so long as fashion decrees that they shall wear them.
