Arizona republican., 1922-02-28

Eminently fitting to the remark
able occasion was the wonderful Ari.
xona sunshine and the soft delightful
air of last Saturday when a few min.
utes before noon Gov. Thomas Z,
Campbell and moro than 90 members
of the Arizona legislature assembled
on the board lawn in front OF the
capitol and the First State Troop,
the initial organization Of it's kind IN
the United States. One hundred and
fifty Boy Scouts and more than 500
people assembled to witness this re-
rnarkable ceremony.
By this ceremony Governor Camp
bell and the legislators become Ten
derfoot Scouts Of the Roosevelt coun-
ell. In the picture Governor Camp
bell is seen taking the Scout oath,
beinu administered by Tom Murray,
Scout executive. At the right, by the
large American flag, stands Dwight
3. Heard, president Of Roosevelt
council. Governor Campbell is scout
master OF the First State troop. Sen
ator r. B, Wilkinson and p. c. keefe,
speaker Of the house, are his assist
ants.
The program, which was intensely
interesting, included an address by
Tom Murray, Scout executive, on
AThe Spirit Of Scouting" and an I'D. I.
dress by Dwight B. Heard, president
of Roosevelt council, on "The Ideals
Of Scouting" Following the admin
isterinu Of the Scout oath, the pro
oram was concluded with the singing

and went to her fathers palatial mansion
IN Chicago-and later with him to Paris
and the continent.
Helen Mccormick, who hadn't the sym.
pathy of any of her family at that time.
and who couldn't have gone to Chicago or
Parls or the continent any more than she
could have flown to Mars, simply hacked
up her belongings and went to live. openly
ana respectfully and properly chaperoned,
with her girl chum and the parents of her
fiance, in the Rousseau household,
Helen McCormick's family made a
frghtful row. 1t didn't get onto the front
pages OF all the newspapers in the world.
as the Mccormick Rockefeller Oser fam,
lily row did, but it caused Helen lust as
much unhappiness and just as MANY tears,
Helen's parents demanded of the Rous-
seaus that their daughter be returned to
them' Helen refused to go. Then thew
Wrote S, letter to Helen, saying that if she
dldnt return willingly they would have
the law on her and put her away in an
lhstitutlon until she was twenty-one,
She still refused and a legal sunmons
followed. Helen went into court and
raced her parents. There was no charge
against her character, and none against
mat or her tiance. Right in court she
gave her father sample of his own Irish
temper, and said she would never return
to his household so long as he forced her
to choose between her family and the
man she loved, The Judge took Helen's
SIDE against her parents. She is now liv-
ing in Catholic club, still self-supportine
and self-respecting, seeing her fiance as
OFTEN as she pleases, frequently spending
the evening at his home with him and his
parents and sister. She says she will
never go home unless her parents give
their consent to the marriage.
And this is the amazing paralIeI IN the
lives. Of the two Mccormick girls. The
one is immensely rich and wants to marry
a Swiss riding master The other works
with her hands for living and wants to
marry fellow-factory worker. But both
these girls confronted by the same prob
lem, meet it with exactly the same de-
ciSion:

no opposition--Pll marry the man love"
That's the problem old John d. Rookie
feller is worrying over in his palace, amid
his trees and flowers and Italian sunken
gardens, on Pocantico Hills.
Now listen to the amazingly parallel
problem which the family of the other
Mccormick girl is confronting in the Yon-
kers cottage.
But listen, first, to an astonishing ad-
ditonal detail by which the histories of
these two girls of the same name are
ilnked-and ponder on what a tiny world
this Is
Mathilde Mccormick Is the daughter of
Harold Mccormick and Edith Rockefeller
Mccormick. Some time ago Harold Me
Cormick and his wife were divorced, and
Mccormick subsequently married Gamma
Walska, the opera singer, Gamma Walska,
IN order to marry Mccormick, was di-
vorced from the rich Alexander Cochrane
and Cochrane is the owner of the car
pet factory In Yonkers where Helen Me
Cormick's sweetheart worksl
Not only have these two girls the same
family name, but in this additional strange
way are the complicated affairs of the
two families linkedi
But now listen to the real parallel in
the love story OF the girl in the cottage
with that Of the girl in the mansion.
Helen Mccormick, seventeen years old
and pretty, is an expert sewing machine
operative in an overall company in Yon.
kers. Until recently she lived In a small
factory community on its outskirts, with
her parents and younger sisters. Her
father is an engineer, very Irish. stern
and old-fashioned in his views and her
mother is from the "old country"
Helen's parents both had the old-fash-
ioned idea of parental discipline Despite
the fact that Helen was American horn
and self-supporting, they felt that she
should defer to their wishes and Judgment
in, everything. Working in hot factory
all day, she felt that she was entitled To
some Of the happiness of life and some of
ITS innocent amusements. She felt, too,
that at seventeen she was old enough 10
have beauS-old enough 10 be thinking of
her future, and perhaps of marriage.
She wanted, at least, to go occasionally
TO the movies and theatres of the neigh
66orhood, and to have young men as
friends.
=. With these ideas her parents entirely
disagreed OF course, they believed She
would marry some day, but she was too
young 10 be thinking Of It yet, and when

at NfSt Slgnt,
At any rate, Adolph, Sc
rious minded and with declared intentions,
openly deied Helen's parents. He came
of an evening to sit with Helen on the
front porch of the Mccormick cottage
he invited Helen to the movies and the
theatres, and she accepted his invitations.
Helen's life was made miserable at
home. Just as the Rockefeller and other
Mccormick girls family had told Mathilde
in the case of Max Oser, now this Nc
Cormick girls family told her:
1--WE will not consent to this marriage.
You are much too young This man Is
not suitable for you. You should wait
until you are older and know your own
mind better. And then you should marry
some one of whom your family approves"
And just as Mathilde Mccormick defied
her family, Helen Mccormick defied hers,
and said:
Family or no family-obj lection or no
objeetion--Ill marry the man | lovep'
And just as Mathilde Mccormick had
fled from her grandfather and mother, SO
now Helen Mccormick fled from her fam
lily until the matter could be adjusted.
Naturally, the manner of flight was not
the same. Mathilde, who had managed to
obtain the sympathy if not the approval
of one member of her family at least
her father-left her mother and grand
