SCOUTING NEWS NOTES.

The various troops Of Scouts of the
city are showing great interest in the
coming inter-troop rally to be held on
the last Saturday in August. The
scout leaders in session at the city
hall last Monday evening decided to
make this benefit occasion to which
nominal fee would be charged for
admission. The proceeds which may
be derived from it will be used for
defraying the expenses to camp Of
boys who might otherwise not be
able to go to camp. Ten events have
already been announced for the oc-
casion, and others will be given out
to the troops during the present week.
Those already given out are 1nspec-
tion, First Aid, Signalling, Fire-by-
friction, Water boiling, Wall scaling,
Knot-tying, Tug-o-war, Pillow fight,
and Bird house display.
The committee appointed by the
scout leaders, with Mr.. Henry sau-
rage as chairman, will announce the
additional events during the present
week. And the majority of the troops

MUSICAL ATTRACTIONS.

The City Association of Clubs has
taken up the work of furnishing the
city with first class music during the
winter months. This is a worthy un.
dertaking, especially as there will be
no other musical attractions in the
city. The University had decided to
discontinue the lyceum courses and
the Community Club thought it would
be more useful in its original field.
The Association of City Clubs is CO.
operating with Mr.. Stopher and his
Philharmonic Orchestra because it
feels that it is far more important to
encourage our home talent, Mr.. Sto-
piers Philharmonic and Mr.. Snee's
Stanocola band, than to bring in out
side talent. However, variety is the
spice Of life," and so the Association
together with Mr.. Stopher, is bring
ing three outside musical attractions
to alternate with the three Philhar-
r1onic concerts. Mr.. Snee heartily
supports this movement. The first
concert will be the goth Of October
by the Chicago Opera Trio" (of the
Chicago Opera Co.. composed Of
Charles Lamont, tenor, Irene Paw

lowed by a Philharmonic and then

Power, leadership, service, gracious
ness: these were impressive at the
Biennial Of the Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs held in Chautauqua, the
last ten days of June. This great
meeting drew together more than
three thousand club women from
Maine to California, from Montreal
to Florida, and even from far off Ja-
pan.
Chautauqua, "beside the lake, be-
meath the trees" offered unique and
ideal spot for such a meeting, equip
ped as it is to entertain thousands of
visitors, yet with no city noises to
disturb, nor counter diversions to de-
tract.
To contemplate the program was
enough to make ones head swim.
There was no club interest but had
attention, and club interests are
legion. The Federation Of Women's
Clubs is not specialized organiza-
ton, but represents the rounded life

Mr.. Powell served through the Civil
war, becoming lieutenant in Com

Lake Charles, going into the saw mill
business. When he retired and came
to New Orleans he had developed the
mill into one of the largest in the
South.
He w.s married twice, his second

However, there was system: Each
greater interest was covered once in
mass meeting in a general way, US
ually by experts; and later. in con-
ference, it was discussed more in de-
tail.
From eight o'clock IN the morning,
when the ambitious began the study
of parliamentary law, until eleven at
night, the program might be describ-
ed by the vaudeville advertisement,
Continuous program, something do
ing constantly, no dull moments"
To tell in short article, the con-
tent Of these programs, would be like
bringing you handful of sand that
you might visualize the sea-shore. In
general the topic of study was: What
uoes the world need, and how may
we best meet its needs? 1t has al
ways been woman's instinct to help
better her environment. As her
sphere is broadening, reaching now
into community, national, and world
life, she is broadening her activities.
There is solidarity among wom-
IN, which was evident from the har-
stand they took on such
matters as the forming of legislative
lnions, child welfare problems, edu-
:ation and illiteracy, befriending the |
soldier, cultivating friendship among
he nations, conservation of resources,

cooperation on the part of all classes

in the work it will certainly be BEN

There is a division in congress
that bodies no good to the Republican
party, unless the breach can be heal
ed. Two distinct and diverse inter-
ests have each become solidified into
blocs, a word new to our political
vocabulary, and they are directly and
Numerically opposed to each other
on public policies; the one represents
or attempts to represent, the farmers
of the country, and the other most
certainly represents the financial in
terests and their viewpoints are ir-
reconcilable.
And it cannot be said that the Re-
publican party has achieved anything,
yet, for the people, giving that party
credit for everything It has accom-
plished, that has appealed to the

people as being constructive legisla-
ton in their interests and in their
behalf.
In the coming months the reaction
from postwar fiuxes and excitements
will have been complete and the peo-
pie will decide the question of party
supremacy more on economic lines
than any other.
The Democrats of the country have
a duty to perform in making Mr..
Wilson'S statement as true a prophecy
as it can be made. By having faith
in their party and it's principles they
may do much to reinstate themselves
and the party in the good graces Of
the people. The autumn elections
will be the gauge by which it will be
determined how far the people have

On the other hand-and we would
naturally look for such an opinion

Hope for the Party

1t is possible that when former
President Wilson told the Women's
Democratic Political League that the
present year is certain to show that
the people have regained complete
confidence in the Democratic party,
he really meant that the coming con-
gressional elections would show that
the Democratic party had made some
considerable advance in the hearts of
the people, to be reflected in the vote
in the autumn.
There are signs that the former
president was quite correct in his esti-
mate that the Democratic party is
bound to make positive gains in the
coming election. Even so staunch a
supporter of the administration as the
New York Herald voices its belief
that the Republicans are losing out
