 THRt,IC WEEKS AT CAMp

In the past few weeks various groups of girls have met at different places, all planning for August 20, when the Girl Scouts of this city and a large number from Wetumpka will go to Camp Rotary for three weeks camp. A number of the girls have been to camp before and know ail the thrills of camp life, which never grow dull, even if one goes camping every year, and some will be in the crowd who have never spent many days camping, and the pleasure that is in store for them is untold.
 Camp activities al Camp Rotary will be under the direction of Miss Lucy Durr, who Is now in New York taking special courses in camp and scout activities, and who will return from the east full of new ideas and methods for Girl Scouts in this city. All kinds of camp pleasures will be indulged in, filling every hour of the day with profitable study and recrea- tion. Nature study, handcraft, map making, star gazing and other scout craft will be studied, with swimming twice a day. A life-saver will be in attendance at the pool during the swimming hours to give instructions. Hiking, which is ever a pleasant pas time. will fill many an hour for the happy girls; visits to Wetumpka and nearby country homes will make the days pass all too quickly.
 Already a large number of scouts have registered for the camp, but still there is room for more, and to send application blank to Mrs. Warren Tyson on Fielder avenue at once, or else be disappointed at the last minute

NEIGHBORHOOD OF
 HALL HOUSE AGAIN LOSING IDENTITY

CHICAGO. August 11.-(By Asso- ciated Press )-The neighborhood of Hull House, for 30 years the center of Miss Jane Addams' work among the foreign population of Chicago, Is changing again, according to the staff at Hull House and officers of the Chicago Urban league. This time the new corners are negroes, thought to be moving from other sections of the city and southern states.
 The population of the South Hal stead street district has changed considerably since the establishment of the settlement by Jane Addams In 1889, workers there say. As one group becomes more prosperous, it moves into less crowded quarters of the city. Early canvasses made of the district show large numbers of Italians, Greeks and a sprinkling of Irish. Greeks and Italians are still in the majority, although Hull House has in the last decade been offering hospitality to large numbers of i'm migrant Jews and to a small colony of gypsies who are making their home there.
 When Hull House. one of tho pio- neer settlement houses in the United States, was established, Miss Addams threw open her doors to the com

A more attractive sight cannot be imagined than a pretty lawn over which large crowd of small girls and boys are playing, and those who were for tunate to get a glimpse in the yard while Samuel M. Betty's party was In progress, saw a sight that they will not soon forget.
 One feature of the afternoon that afforded no little pleasure to the young guests, as well as to the older ones, was the old-fashioned candy pulling. Each little girl received a small bottle of perfume as favor and boys got small suitcases filled with candy Rcd and white wind mills were also presented each guest. The prettily embossed birthday cake held six white candles, and the cake held the usual faTors which were cut for, in the course of the after noon.
