Need For Scout Leaders Greater
 Than Last Year

A short training class in Girl Scout leadership is to. be held this week, the meeting to be held at the First Presby- tefian church. The first meeting will be this afternoon at 3 80 and others Wednesday, and Friday afternoons. >
 There is a decided need in Birming- ham for Girl Scout leaders as the num- Der of troops has increased so rapidly since last year and there are also num- bers of girls wanting to do scouting, who are not yet organized into troops.
 No technical knowledge is required for taking up leadership of troop, but from time to time training classes are given with an idea of giving new leaders assistance in methods of organzation and management of troop. The play method if instruction used in scouting is demonstrated by scout games |and so forth and the aims and ideal be- hind the scout movement are discussed. While, of course, theT training class to be given here is to be very brief and ele' mentary, the importance attached to leadership in scout work and the value of some training for it is shown by the fact that for the last years number of the leading colleges, such as Columbia university, Vassar, George Peabody and a number of others, have conducted their regular accredited courses in Girl Scout leadership as part of their social and educational departments.
 Anyone interested in Girl Scout work, whether or not they plan inn mediate active work with troop, will be welcomed at meetings and any infor- nation may be secured by phoning the Girl Scout headquarters, Main S3S3.

for a dress hat. There they said noth- ing at ali about my face or my switch, but they said am so extremely tall that must buy a large hat, and they aren't going to wear large hats this winter. But I got one.
 ~Then I went over to get my two pairs of shoes and l learned that my feet aren't mates and they are not ai all the fashionable shape, being tod short and too wide for any style at all They tried to make me bay shoes two sizes longer than wear in order te make them look narrow and smart, and the clerk almost shed tears when stuck to the short wide one. I fec quite ashamed to think Tswear a shoe instead of [, for he said all tht fashionable women are wearing now adays."
 "Nonsense," cried Mrs. Simmons sYou get that from Great-grandm0thei Fletcher and you can't help t. Your feet are all right"
 ''Then I went over Co get . sham. poo" sighed the youngest niece. And the hairdresser wanted to bob my hair, and when I wouldn't let him he said ought to have ten inches cut off my hair at once, as 1t is too long,"
 "I hope you had more sensep " ex. claimed Mrs. Simmons.
 T didn't let him touch the scissors to it." laughed the youngest neice. But he didn't make me feel any hap pier talking like that. ] went home feeling as. blne as indigo, with the wrong-shaped face, horrid hair, no hips too small waist, crazy feet, too much height, and all the rest of 1t. was really so upset over the whole day that was just ready to break down and cry like n small child"
 "You poor little thing" said her aunt sympathetically. You were tired 0ui trying to do so much in one busy day You seem to feel better this morning so I suppose you are beginningsto ge excited about going away. Do you g this week? 7"
 Well, that's what came over to ex plain about" said the youngest niec' with very pink cheeks. You see, Tn not going. I'm going to save tie thing to wear here later. You lsee-well Charley Davis was over last night, ana so I'm not going. don't make my self very clear, but anyhow, you see Charley thinks differently from all. those store people and can't see but what Tn all right. And that's what I came to tell you, and it's to be in about si1 weeks"

fight he put up, and how clever the strategy by which he out witted his foes. So it is no wonder that the man turns to her, rather than to his wife, for sympathy and comprehension.
 And on her part. the woman gives of her ability and service without stint. She becomes blind partisan. She makes hero of her employer and only too often she finds herself caring too greatly for the man who belongs to an- other woman.
 For that spells misery for all three of them, the man, the wife and herself.

So I advise you not to marry until you have come to yourself. until your tastes nre formed and you know what sort of a life part ner you really want; not to marry until you have had your playtime and are ready to settle downs not. to marry until you have enough in- come upon which to live.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-07

Certainly, a girl shouldn't blab her family secrets to any stranger. It is most dishonorable for her to do so. She is betraying her own blood. She is broadcasting things that should never be told. What q girls father and mother and sis- ters and brothers do does not con- cern her best beau.

 in self-control, and self-sacrifice is held up before them as the highest ideal of womanhood. They are-bfought up to reverence old age, to be generous and kindly to the poor, and to look upon

that binds them together, and which they hate.

Marriage is a serious business, for grown-ups, not q lark for children. It takes stiff neck to bear the, yoke of wedlock without breaking under it's weight, and this no boy or girl possesses.

DOROTHY DIX

Dear Miss Dix--I have been associat- ing with q Japenese girl who is wealthy and highly educated. I like her very much. Do you think 1t will hurt me to continue our friendship?
 UNKNOWN.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-07

Answer: On the contrary, I think 1t q very great privilege for you to have such n friend, and that almost every American girl could be greatly improved by associating with a highly bred Japanese girl.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-07

Surely, American girls need to be taught these things, and any Ameri- can girl is lucky who can learn them from flower-like Japanese playmate. DOROTHY DIX.

; As to women's helping man, that Is a curious problem, Bertha, and there are many angles to it. Undoubtedly, yoa help your employer by giving him efficient service and bearing part of his load for him. Perhaps his but. terfly wife helps him, too, just being . butterfly. You never can tell.
 Just as the tired business man pre-. fers idiotic musical comedy to Shakes peare, so many men find rest and re. taxation in playing with dol-baby wom. en when they are not at work. They want frills and frivols. instead of help. meets. And many an extravagant wife drives q man into being money-get. ter who ends up as a millionaire.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-07

Every efficient private secretary knows ten time as much about mar as his wife will ever find out. At home to his wife,. he is just the children'i father and the bill payer, and . mar who generally has to be cajoled into go ing out of an evening. His wife doesn't know anything about. his busi, ness. She doesn't know what his as, pirations are. She even knows only of his successes or failures in vague way. And she is generally not much inter. ested in any of these things except in so far as they bring in more money.
 But the secretary Is in the thick
 of the fight with the man, She
 stands shoulder to shoulder with
 him in the struggle, and If he is
 victorious 1t is largely through her
 help. She knows what the odds
 were against him how plucky the

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-07

Men are strange creatures,
 Bertha. No woman can guess the answer to one of them. But don't let yourself get to pitying your em- ployer because he hasn't got a help full wife. He may not prefer that kind. Where Is nothing in this day time wife fallacy except sorrow for the girl who puts her faith in 1t.

 I consider myself, for instance, . really vital asset to my boss in his struggle to get ahead The word wife in its true sense means helpmeet. There fore we girls who help our employers are often really more their wives---thai Is, helpmeets--than the women to whom they are married. BERTHA.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-07

Answer: Undoubtedly you, arc right, Bertha, and in that lies the danger of the relationship between a man and his woman secretary. It Is a situation compounded of all sorts of sentimental fire hazards-- propinquity, mutual helpfulness and $ dependence, understanding, sym pathy and the same interest and aim and ambitions.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-07

Answer: I think that early mar riages are almost invariably mis- take. Accidents will happen, and occasionally when q boy and girl get married they grow up together and continue to love each other, and live in peace and happiness. but this rarely happens. Generally, when two undeveloped youngsters ret married they grow away from each other instead of together. One stays put, and the other goes on, and by the time they reach mans and woman's estate, they have nothing in c0mon but the chain
