THE GIRL SCOUTS.
BY i. W. NJ.


chimes.
This same thing was found
true with women in the Bocr war,
who volunteered as nurses and
otherwise to help Baden-PoweIl' s
forces. They were full Of pluck
and energy, but unfortunately
they had never been trained to do
anything and all the good will III
the world they were of no use.
Baden-Powell could not help
help but feel how splendid it
would be if one could only train
them in peace time in the same
way one trained the young sold
iers, that is through scoutcraft.
I[e started training boys in that
way, but before very long the
girls came along and asked to take
up scouting also. They did not
laercly want to be mitators Of
the boys. they wanted a line of
their own. Baden-Powell gave
them IA smart blue uniform and
gave them the name Of Guides
His sister wrote the outline of the
scheme.
Guides appealed to the English
Girls for the word Guides comes
from the famous corps Of soldiers
on the frontier force in India call
ed corps of guides. They were a
Iskilful lot Of men, brave and en-
during, always ready to sacrifice
themselves, if necessary, in order
that peace might reign throughout
their country.
Girl Guides is sisterhood,
which besides being handy and
ready for any kind of duty, is also
a jolly, happy family and likely
10 be good, CHEEKY comrades to
their mankind.
1t was Mrs. Juliette Low of Sa-
vannah, Georgia, who brought the
idea of scouting to America. She
was a personal friend of Baden
| Powell and while she was visiting
in England she realized the ire
Imendous future of the movement
TO her own country. With the
help of Baden-Powell troop
was started in March, 1912, in Sa-
Savannah, Georgia, with national
headquarters at Washington, d.
c. The name Guides was changed
TO Scouts.
The word scout in America
means a body of picked men sent
out ahead to gain information
from unknown sources in the
quickest way. Girls who can do
things are always looked up to by
others and are the ones chosen to
90 nadvance to do the more diff
icult tasks.
National headquarters were
changed in 1916 to New York
City and the methods and stand
ards Of what was plainly to be a
nation wide organization became
established on a broad, practical
base National conventions are
held yearly in mhich there is a
large increase in number of en-
thusiaStic delegates Interested in
the steadily growing army of
girls who are learning in the hap
piest way, high standards of com
Irnunity service through team work
and fair play.
Prominent citizens are interest
! ing themselves with local councils
in an advisory and helpful capac-
| ity. Schools and churches every
where are cooperating eagerly
for they realize that the move
adds something TO the life of a
growing girl that they have not
been able to supply. Colleges and
universities are Offering courses in
scouting to would-bc captains.
Today there are 1884 captains,
5,722 troops with 115,32S Girl
Scouts.
At the head Of all the Girl
Scouts stands Mrs. Warren G,
Harding as president, Mrs. Herb,
ert Hoover as vice president and
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, as second
vice president.

SAFE AT LAST

SAFE AT LAST
 Safety is q blessing that few nppreci- Until In time of danger alas! it seems
 too late.
 -Whitefoot the Wood Mouse.
 Never since the Great World was begun had there been more fright ened small person than was the ruE- away little son of Whitefoot the Wood Mouse as he dodged around a tall, dead stub in the Green Forest with Sharpshin the Hawk trying to catch him. As he lodged he kept climbing higher and higher. Already he had had two dreaful adventures, one with Buster Bear and one with Reddy Fox. When he had escaped from Reddy by climbing that tall. dead stub he had thought himself safe. You see he knew so little of the Great World that 1t hadn't en- tered his little head that he could be in danger up there.
 There was nothing to do but to keep on lodging and climbing. His only hope was that Sharpshin would become tired and give up trying to catch him. Every time Sharpshin dashed at him and he dodged 1t SctmcQ tO nm tldL ms ncdTt W0uiu jump right out of his mouth. He knew he couldn't keep up lodging for very long. He was growing tired already. Soon he would be just too slow and then those terrible claws of Sharpshin's would catch him.
 Higher and higher the little Mouse climbed. and round and round that stub he lodged. What should he do when he reached the top? The little Mouse didn't know. The truth is he didn't give a thought to it. He didn't think at all. He had to give every bit of attention to just lodging. Sharpshin wheeled in the afr sud- denly and made an unexpected dash at him. With a faint little squeak the little Mouse lodged around to the other side of tho stub just barely in time.
 Perhaps you can guess. though I don't believe you can, how he felt when there right in front of him was little round hole! The little Mouse didn't stop to find out If any one was inside. He just popped right in. He knew that inside there would be nothing worse than this terrible winged hunter outside. Sharpssfa screamed. It was a scream of anger and disappointment. Never had the little Mouse heard such a dreadful sound clear to the tip of his long tall.
 After that scream all was quiAt. You see Sharpshin had flown away.

He knew that he had to look somewhere else for dinner. The little Mouse crept down inside that hollow and there he found a soft, comfortable bed. It was just such bed as he had had. in the home he had so foolishly run away from. There was no one In that hollow. lie was safe at last. At least he was owner of that home might come and drive him out. But he didn't intend to worry about that until 1t hap pened.
 "Oh" sobbed the little Mouse. What . terrible place the Great World Is! Had I known how terrible it is, I never, never would have left home. And now don't know where home is. can't go back there be- cause I don't know the way. I walt my mother. Yes, sir, l want my mother"
 But after he had rested a bti the little Mouse felt better. He examined the inside of that hollow from top 10 bottom. It seemed to him the finest house that could be. He wondered who owned 1t. He began to hope that nobody did. If nobody did he would make 1t his home. He curled up in the soft bed and went to sleep. You see he was completely tired out. He had no fear in going to sleep for he was safe at last"
