VOTE ON SNOWDENS
MEASURE DELAYED
Further Debate on Socialism Su-
perseding Capitalism

London, March 21.--(By Associat-
ed Press )--The test between labor
and the government over Philip
Snowden's motion for legislation de-
signed to supersede the capitalist sys-
tenn by a socialist order has been
postponed to allow another day OF
debate after the Easter recess.
Last evenings discussion found the
government solidly supported by all
parties in the house except the labor
ties. The debate was largely aca-
demic and there was no unusual Incl
dent. Many of the most prominent
labor leaders were unable to take part
having gone to Paris as delegates to
the socialists conference on the Ruhr
situation.
Mr.. Snowden, asserting that cap
italism and not socialism was called
to account, said that the existing or
der had failed to make the most of
productive power and natural resour-
ces. He suggested that the condition
of the people could hardly be expect
ed to improve in view of the fact that
between 1874 and 1905 the income
from capital had increased IL fold.
whereas labor had been rewarded
only by a ten per cent increase in
wages.
He asked how a system could be
defended which, while claiming a
monopoly Of the function of finding
employment Is unable to find work for
a million and half unemployed"
Mr.. Snowden reminded the house
that the labor party in parliament had
grown from four members to at least
40 members. He added the labor
ties would continue their efforts.
An independent liberal resolution
offered by Sir Alfred Mond asserted
that although Mr.. Snowden had reas-
oned carefully he had failed to show
that the socialist system would not be
the victim of such ills as were alleged
to have befallen the people under the
capitalist regime. Sir Alfred declared
that 1t was impossible to carry on in
dustry through a government depart
ment and that socialism meant con-
scription of labor.

Girl Scout Work
Not SO long ago there was fire
In store on Main street. It was In
the evening and large crowd saw
the fire start. Yet it remained for a
Girl Scout to have the presence Of
mind to turn in the alarm. So quiet
iy and quickly did she do this task
that it took some time afterward to
determine just who turned in he
alarm. Here is only one illustration
OF the instruction given to Girl
Scout. for one phase of her training
provides that. she must know how to
turn in a fire alarm
1t is the emphasis on the home
side of things which demonstrates the
worth of teaching a girl to be Scout.
instruction in home operations takes
in every aspect of household man.
agement The result is that the girl
is taught responsibility; she develops
initiative and self-restraint.
A concrete case in point is that of
a home where the mother suddenly
became i'll and was forced to undergo
an operation. Little did she dream
of the effective way in which her
home would be managed by her
daughter in her absence. When she
returned home she found out what
an excellent start in life her daughter
had made-and scouting had been the
cause
In this city there are about $50
Girl Scouts. between the ages of 10
and IS. There are 10 active troops,
and two more are in process of or
ganization. Just now So Girl Scouts
are meeting weekly as members of
the New Britain Scout Fife, Drum and
Bugle corps. BY Memorial Day they
will be ready to make an effective
