PLAN CAMP
FOR GIRL
SCOUTS
Mrs. Thomas P. Garvan Seeks
to Promote Short Vacation
Spots at Convention.
BY GEORGE FRANKLIN.

Girl Scout daily camps, new
idea being carried out by Mrs.
Thomas F. Caravan, of Hartford,
Conn, will be one of the innova-
tions advocated during the Girl
Scout convention here this week.
Recognizing that many girl
scouts cannot afford to spend va
cation periods at the regularly
established State camps, Mrs.
Caravan conceived the plan of
opening a day camp within trolley
distance of the girl scouts home
to which she could run out with
out incuring heavy travelling ex-
penses.
Backs Up Ideas.
Having conceived the idea, Mrs.
Caravan promptly bought tract of
twenty acres sEirting q lake above
Hartford, on which she had a bum
galow clubhouse erected. Then she
developed the camp along recrea-
tional and athletic lines. Baseball
diamonds were laid out, tennis courts
spaced, tenting grounds set aside
and bathing beach developed.
The camp was financed by Mrs.
Garvan with her private funds. Hav-
ing established the camp, sho threw
1t open to the Girl Scouts. More
than seventy girls attend the camp
each week.
"Of course it has proved popular, :"
said Mrs. GarVan, when seen at the
Wardman Park Hotel today.
at met q want, and met 1t in the
only practical way / could think Of.
I believe Girl Scout daily camps
should be established in the vicinity
of all OF the larger population CEN
ters. Grounds should be close enough
in, so the girls can reach them with
out great expense in time or money.
You know there are hundreds OF
Girl Scouts who cannot afford a va
cation in the State camps. They
cannot spend the money necessary
for railroad fare.

Or. Abernethy Says It Will
Take Death to Put Stop
to Idiocy.
BY REV. w. S. ABERNETHY,

\ written Expressly for COsmOpOlitan

News Service.)
It would be a decided under
statement of the case to say that
we Americans are extremists. We
are faddists. We go the limit,
It matters not where that limit
lies.
If somebody in some other
quarter of the globe sets rec
ord, we are not content until we
have shattered it. If it is win
ming a war, we go to our task
with amazing abandon and prodi-
gality, and accomplish what we
20 after. If it is athletic SUI
premacy, we spare no effort to
attain our ambition.
Go to Extremes.
All this is very commendable, If
the end in view is a worthy one.
But the trouble is, we go to the
same extremes when petty aims are
sought We are extremists no
doubt about that.
Just now, it seems to be the jazz
dance craze that is setting the
country wild, and, as usual, we do
not know when or where to stop.
The idiotic attempts to break the
nonstop dance record reflect but
one phase of the whole silly bust
ness. Before long, somebody will
drop dead while engaged in this
J fool pastime, and then steps will be
taken to outlaw it.
IrTeparabIe Injuries.
In the meantime, some Madeline
In Cleveland and some Madge in
Washington will do themselves ir-
reparable injury by trying to out
distance each other. And when the
record has been broken, what has
been accomplished?
- The night hours are being made
hideous by the jazz din. From pub
Tic dance halls, apartment house
cafes, hotel dining rooms, the fiend-

night air in one Undesirable bed

bears not the slightest resemblance
to music. 1t is barbaric uproar-
with apologies to the barbariaus.
.4-a Damage to Morals.
And keeping time to this hideous
combination of unearthly sounds,
move the feet of the dancers in a
sort of snake-like glide. Half the
might they keep it up, and go to
work the next morning jaded and
worn. Most of the girls who par
ticipate in these animal glides APP
pear to be in their teens.
The late hours, the excitement, the
drain on their physical resources,
not to speak of the effect upon their
morals-all this cannot fail to have
damaging results.
And the whole country seems to
be dance mad. Some day we will
come to our senses. When that
day arrives, we will wonder how in
the world we could have ever toll.
Grated jazz; when that day comes.

Historically correct are the settings
used in Pioneer Trails" a Vitagraph
special production, which will be ex-
hibited at the Weir theater on Mon
day. For many weeks before produc-
ton was begun, the research depart
ment Of Vitagraph was busy checking
scenes in the film and obtaining in
formation and descriptions of build
ings and towns of the gold rush Pc
Rod of 80 for use in Pioneer Trails"
The Burnt Boot Saloon in the pic
ture is an exact replica of the famous
''El Dorado" a saloon and gambling
den of the days of the early fifties.
The bar and dance hall are exact
copies Of this famous place.
The street scenes were made In a
town built to duplicate in every de-
tail the manner of construction of
those days. The NANCY road with it's
pine-board dwellings caused many old
timers to marvel at the exactness of
reproduction.
David Smith, who directed Pioneer
Trails" insisted that every detail be
correct before he began filming the
picture. He required the town and
sets to reflect the spirit and life of
the West thoroughly so that there
would be no need for subtitles to car
ray over the impression of the early
days which should be shown in actual
scenes.
He spared no expense in the build
ing of the city and furnishing of the
interiors of the structures with fur
niture and knick-knaclcs in vogue dur
ing the period portrayed. Consider
able difficulty was met with in OBJ
tanning these relics of the past and
many items used had to be purchased
at almost prohibitive prices because
of their rarity.
| Actors and actresses used in the
scenes were chosen because of their
resemblance to type commonly found
in that period. The casting director
put in several days studying photo
graphs Of persons figuring in early
Western days to enable correct selec-
ton Of types needed. Historical mu-
seu,ms furnished much of the infor-
nation necessary in this work.

criminatory legislation as a means of
indirect aid. the board held, would
seem to leave as the sole way out the
assumption by the government of the
excess cost of operation.
This in turn can be accomplished
by either Of two methods" continued
the report. First, by subventions to
American vessels while engaged in
carrying cargoes to and from the
United States sufficient to enable
them to compete with foreign ships,
or second by the complete assumption
by the taxpayers of the entire cost of
operation, the resulting loss being the
countFy's contribution toward a ma

BERNHARDT has removed the
greatest exponent since Rachel
of the French traditional drama 1t
is impossible to compare the French
genius with an exponent of the Anglo
Saxon as typified by Ellen Terry be-
cause Bernhardt's art was more
highly wrought and artiflcially finished
and had not the same spontaneity and
natural vitality of the English ira
dition.
Nevertheless, it was very wonderful
and made upon my mind most pro
found impression. I was privileged
to see her play a number of parts
while she was still in full enjoyment
of her powers. The first play saw
her in was "Izeyl" and after that I
saw her in Hamlet, Ia Tosea'
with Coquelin and "Phedre-L' Aiglon, -
Camille" and "Cyrano.' the last also
with the great COquelin.
I liked her best as La Tosca, Phedre
and Camille In La Tosca" her COM
edy and light touches in the first
scene were most delightful and her
latest scenes of jealousy and passion
were extraordinary in their intensity

little opportunity as RoXane, but
nevertheless was most charming. Her
