THAT girls are braver than boys is the
observation made by Or. Edward f
= Bigelow, nature study guide of the
Camp Fire Girls of America and formerly
scout naturalist of the Boy Scouts Associa-
lion. DR.. Bigelow includes in this category
girls from 10 to Is. After that age he says
they acquire the fears and inconsistencies
Of women.
"The average woman does not understand
girls" This is another Of DIR. Bigelow's
unique statements and a discovery he mas
made in his quarter of a century of expert
ence as an educator of girls. He has dis
covered that not only do they not understand
them but also that they are unsympathetc
toward them.
DR. Bigelow for the last twenty-five years
has been associated with select private
schools for girls a nature lecturer and
guide. He is we'll known as a naturalist
guide in girls camps. also as president of
the Agassiz Association at Sound Beach
Conn. "And-I am of age-60 my last BIRTH
day." he says laughingly. 80 wise enough
10 speak only Of what know.
Girls are not only braver than boys.
They are the bravest of the four sexes
namely, men, boys, women and girls" says
DIR. Bigelow.
DR.. Bgelow illustrates this by instancing
his experiences with parties who come to
visit his apiaries at Arcadia, Sound Beach,
Conn.-the home of the Agassiz Association.
DIR. Bigelow knows that bees will not sting
II they are handed with gentleness and
understanding. And he proves this by taking
the combs from the hives while the bees are
actively working on them.
DR.. Bigelcw encourages his visitors to
handle the combs. Roll up your sleeves
and come along" he says jocularly as he
leads his party TO the beehives But all do
not come along, and all do not roll up their
sleeves. The women run 20 the furthest part
Of the field. The men are stolid, shrug their
shoulders. say that II is nothing to handle
bees but do not go too near them. Tho boys

faces and sheepishly shrink away, protesting,
"Nawl don't want to touch them"
But-the girlsi Invariably, says Dr.
Bigelow, they rush eagerly forward. crying
out. "Oh, Daddy Blgelow. let me do it" And
absolutely unafraid they reach into tho hives
and take out the combs.

The achievement he is proudest of is

always watchful Democratic enemy He
was president of the State Roads Commis-
sion for several years and won credit for
making every dollar of the $16,0O0,OOO do
an honest dollars work. He was in politics
off and on before he came to the Senate,
but he was beaten for Governor in close
race six years ago.
In 1916 he managed John w. Weekss
campaign for the Republican Presidential
nomination. Last year he gave former
Senator John Walter Smith the only de
feat that statesman ever suffered in thir-
ty-two years.

highly respected by the solid men of the
Senate. He is especially interested In
naval affairs and in the we'll being of the
Naval Academy. from which he was gradu-
ated in 1881, the small navy days when
there was no future in the service for

pectedly running my fingers through his hair
and saying brusquey. DO you want your
hair cut off? a boy will always shrink back
and pull away. A girl never does. She
simply laughs and remains still. Yet it is
TO be supposed that a girl values her hair
much more than a boy values his. OF course
the reason for the girls lack of fear may b.
that she intuitivey reads character better

The men and women who have kept Nor

years without vacation say that he is a
man they can tie to. In the last election
the Non-Partisan League people assailed
Norbeck savagely. They had reason to dis

being overrun with them, as North Dakota,

they sought to capture his State.

years ago, and has grown up with his
