LEADERS, "GET TOGETHER"

A "Get-Together and Camp Chow"
was held recently under the auspices
of the Boy Scouts of America ut the
Hotel Commodore, New York city.
This was an affair entirely for men
who are devoting time aIM interest to
boy leadership. Approximately 1,5OO
were assembled at this meeting which
Is said To have been the largest and
most significant gathering of volun-
tcer workers in behalf Of boyhOod ever
brought together in any place in the
world.
The Get Together" was given I'M
der tile auspices Of the executive
board of the national council through
the courtesy of John McE. Bowman,
president of the Commodore, and in
dividual members Of the executive
board, who personally stood the
expense. The gathering was composed
Of all adult scout workers Of Greater
New York, which means members OF
the executive board, the Scoutmasters
of the five different bOroughS, scout
executives, the troop committeeman Of
each individual troop, and other vol
unteer workers. II was held in the in
terest of the Greater New York COM
mittee, OF which Hon. Franklin D..
Roosevelt is chairman, and was in the
nature Of an appreciation OH the part
of the executive board of the services
that are being rendered by these hun
dreds Of workers in Greater New York.
james L. West, the chief scout exec
utive stated that, "As result of this
gathering 1t was expected that there
would be q new consciousness on the
part of all concerned as to the value Of
our program for character building
and citizenship training; further. that

Add to these things the incidents OF
her American tour-her warm recep-
tion, her clever addresses, her call up
on congress, her visit to Mirador, her
smart sayings, her faultle,s playing or
her British role, and her successful
missionary work!

Chapman Catt-who Is pretty we'll

Baltimore Pan-American Conference
Of Women as the "best-known woman
in the world?
And isn't she the astonishing Lady
Astor2
And Lady Astor, with the intel
ligence of the well-born American
woman, realizes how astonishing she
is. She put it this way in one of her
public addresses:
~ am not a person but a symbol
sort Of connecting link between the
English-speaking people, a frail link
perhaps, but link that is stronger
than it looks. 1t is strange thing
that England's first woman member
of parliament should have come from
England's first colony. doubt If the
first English woman to land in Fir-
ginia was less expected on these
shores than the. first Virginia woman
to land in the house Of commons was
expected on that floor"
The story of Lady Astor reds like
a fairy tale.
When she and Lord Astor married
in 1906 she was the widow of Robert
Gould Shaw. He was the oldest son
of William Waldorf AStor, who was
born In New York City In 1913, be-
came a naturalized British subject in

the conquest of England by the Amer
ican heiress. But here was Young

A SCOUT Is HELPFUL

During ferocious blizzard in Mason
City, Iowa, last winter an old gentle
man was so unfortunate as to lose his
glasses in gust of wind which carried
them to the street. Nearly blinded BY
the storm and helpless without the
very equipment he sought, he fumbled
iM vain in the snow when boy scout
offered his aid. Seeing that the old
man was suffering from the cold the
boy insisted on his going into q build
ing to get warm while he continued
the search. II was nearly an hour be-
fore the scout found the glasses and
when he did he refused the pro!tered
tip. 1t was all in the days work for
him.

THE REAL UNKNOWN SOLDIER
Child Of Streets, Picked UP by Kind
hearted Brothers, Never Knew
Who He Was.

Tragic though the story Is Of a SOL
der whose identity was lost after his
life had gone out on the field OF battle
and whose cross in Flanders simply
saws, Unknown Soldier" his story Is
not shot through with such pathetic
glory as Is the story Of a lad VINO
never knew who he was and who gave
his life for a country in which he had
never known a mothers love or
fathers pride. Every mother who
does not know just where her son Is
buried, weeps over the grave OF the
unknown soldier, thinking that per
haps he is her son. Over the grave of
the boy who has always been un-
known there are no mourners.
A tiny bundle Of humanity was
picked up in a Baltimore street some
twenty years ago; 1t was n baby boy.
When after a thorough search no one
was found who would claim him, he
was taken to be reared by two broth
ers, who gave him the name OF Ed
ward John Evangelist Smith. When
he was old enough, they sent him
to Mount Saint Mary's school to be
educated. In 1917, before the boys
education was finished, a Marine re-
cruiting officer visited Mount Saint
Mary's. His story of the country's
need for men caused Smith," as he
had come to be known, to enlist. He
went overseas and took part in every
engagement in which the Fifth regi-
ment of marines participated. On the
morning on which the armistice was
signed, one of The last German bullets

by reason of her recent visit to her
native land.
While this clever and vivacious lady
member Of the British parliament was
fitting about the land where she was
born, enlightening our ignorance,
preaching Anglo American Hands
across the sea" and telling us we must
join the League of Nations to be saved,
we pretended we were being kidded by
an expert. We were content to get en-
joyment out of it-and let 1t go at
that. Now that this pleasing lady
Britisher has returned to the land OF
her adoption and conquest we are
Just beginning to realize how aston:
ishing was her visit.
In consequence American statesmen,
in and out of congress, are using the
astonishing Lady Astor as an object
lesson. And debate in congress over
the League of Nations and naturaliza-
tion legislation is enlivened by many
reference to Nancy, Lady Astor,
born Langhorne in 1879 at Mirador,
Greenwood, Virginia, U. S. A.
Take, for instance, the Shortridge
naturalization bill providing for the
registration and ed-cation and Ameri-
canizing of immigrants. One Of the
features Of this bill Is that 1t permits
an American woman marrying q for
eigner to retain her American citizen
ship. The idea is to equalize before
the law the position of the American
man and the American woman In this
respect.
Secretary Of L.bor Davis points
with pride" to this bill.
Spponents of the bill view with
alarm" the citizenship provision.
What's more, they point finger at
Lady Astor as horrible example OF
what happens when an American wom-
an marries q foreigner.
American women, the latter contend,
sentimentally adopt the lan9 fof their
husbands when they maN abroad.
Certainly this is the cas- th Lady
Astor. She admits it, a to the
extent of ffty-ffty. Al tier OF
fact, it is evident that s1S1fs wholly
English.
LADY AstOr is probably at this mo-
ment the most talked about woman
in the world. Here are some OF the
many reasons:
She was born an American citizen
and is now the wife of viScount in
the British peerage, a naturalized
Enclishman who vas born in New
York City of American parents and is
immensely wealthy.
She is sure of Immortality for she
will 60 down to history as the first
woman to take q seat In the British
parliament, where as a member OF
the house of commons she practically
outranks her husband, a member of
the house of lords.
AS d member Of the house of COM
mons she has introduced bill to re-
neal the "law OF coercion" which
dates back to 712 A. D., which as.
sumes that woman is obliged to do
whatever her husband directs and
which just now is a topic of discus
sion all over England.
Moreover, Lady AStor finds time
for family duties. A misguided and
uniformed opponent nj q political
meeting undertook to heckle hcr-as
