One Mother Says ::

One Mother Says:
 My little son leases his sister and she comes running to me with com plaints. I believe that the teasing is as much her fault as his, for she is too easily angered. In a frank talk with her had her tell me exactly the sub- jects he leases her about. l explained to her that most of these things she ought to laugh about, and that when she showed no annoyance her brother would quit. There are certain things he ought not to tease her about, and he is not permitted to do so. Otherwise, she must defend herself and is not al- lowed to run to me to complain of his slightest teasing, as she once did.

 So Raggedy Andy and the wooden hob by horse jumped out of bed and ran to the little bath room to wash their faces. Of couse Raggedy Andy had to wash the hob by horses face, for the hobby horse did not have hands to do it himself, but Rag gedy Andy was very

New Features For Girl Scout
 C a mp

The Girl Scout camp will be held at Camp Winnataska on July 14-22 and July 23-31. Many new features have been added to the camp program which will add greatly to it. Among these are archery, folk dancing, storytelling handicraft, besides the regular scout first and second class work which will include map-making, first aid, signal ing, nature work and outdoor cooking. Both swimming pools are in fine shape q for the summer encampment.
 Vi Mrs. W. c. Bonham of the Girl Scout council will be in camp and several other members of the scout council are planning to go. Miss Mary Foster from the children's library will be in charge of storytelling and the campfire pro- gram.
 Mrs. Elwyn Ballard, who is promi- nent naturalist and is now on a scout camp in Georgia, will have charge of the nature work. This will include merit badge work for Star Gazer, Flower Finder, Bird Hunter, and second class nature work. The camp nurse will be Mrs. Bachelor and she will give in struction in first aid.
 One of the interesting features of the camp will be instruction in folk dancing by Mrs. Page Sloss, who has studied in New York and who is the Birmingham field captain. Signaling will be taught by Miss Catherine Wood and Miss Margaret Mcclure. Mrs. w. R. Hall will teach archery and this should add much to the enjoyment of camp as archery has never been taught : in the Birmingham camps before.
 Mrs. Asa Rountree, Jr., local direc- tor, who is now at Camp Andree, will teach map-making. Fire-making and outdoor cooking will be given by Mrs Crawford, assisted by Mrs. Rountree.
 Instruction in handicraft which will include work in basketry, will be given by Mrs. Crawford and Mrs. R. NJ. War ren will have charge of swimming Scouts may register at scout headquar- ters for either one or both of the camp periods. A registration fee of $2 is required and this may be brought or mailed to No. 12 Watts building.

Be careful. Turn off the electricity or remove the plug as soon as the iron ing is finished. Turn off the gas at the pipe. Keep gasoline and other in flammable liquids, also cloths, in places where there is no fire. Put pins, points upward, in bottles containing poisons. These precautions will pre- vent accidents.
 Be sanitary. Do not let foods re- main in the refrigerator until they spoil. Thoroughly clean refrigerator once a week. Always keep garbage can covered.

What Next in Britain I?

foday's cable advices from London
indicate diminishing prospects that
Ramsay Macdonald and the assorted
groups constituting his Labor party
will be given a mandate for continued
power at the parliamentary elections
to be held a fortnight hence. In half
q hundred constituencies which last
year returned Labor candidates as the
result Of triangular contests, there
has been accomplished an accommoda-
ton between Liberals and Conserva-
tives, one party or the other refrain
ing from advancing candidates, and
the struggle is square-cut between
Labor and anti-labor. The prospective
outcome is that Labor, which came
into Office only through Liberal toll
erance, will have it's ranks so reduced
in the new Parliament that the Con-
servatives will be called upon to take
up the burden Of government, also as
. minority party and at the mercy of
Liberal caprice.
What the effect Of this win be upon
British foreign policy and the rolA-

Words Worth Considering.

Although the mass of the railway
brotherhoods are classed as support
ing the candidacy of Senator La Fol
lette, which involves the proposed ma.
tionaliZation of the railroads and other
public utilities, there are some of the
brotherhood leaders who do not sub
scribe to the La Toilette policies.
Among them is w. n. Doak, vice
president of the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen. Last night, over the
radio, he spoke to his fellow railroad
men-words broadcast over the ma
tionally interconnected stations. While
addressed specially to his fellow rail.
road employees, there was much in his
talk worthy Of the attention Of all
of US.
Warning the workers of the coun-
try that the two cardinal proposals
of the Socialist-Third Party-namely,
the naturalization of public utilities
and the Gripping Of the Supreme
Court-are essentially a step toward
communism and toward the over
throw of the American system of gov
ernment, he pointed out wherein
naturalization of the railroads would
not be for the best interests of the
railroad workers in the long run.
He said that railroad employees
would become Government workers
and would automatically revert to a
political status. The Government
would have it in it's power to put
them on a civil service status, which
would destroy the important privilege
of collective bargaining, gained after
a generation of effort. The power to
strike would be, in effect, gone, be-
cause of the generally accepted axiom
that the citizen cannot strike against
his Government.
He called attention to the fact that
there is nothing to cause public util-
ity employees to favor Government op-
GRAFTON when the comparison is made
between the present level Of their
wages and the present level Of Gov
ernment employees. The Government
does not guarantee work and does
not pay as high wages as private in
dustry. He contended that the eco-
nomic independence and social well
fare of all classes of workers would
be jeopardized by the naturalization
proposal.
1t would be well for public utility
workers to stop, look and listen before
rushing blindly on to the beckoning
signal of politicians with their spe-
cious and unwise theories.

self and would be deserving of the
best that the family garden and pan
try could provide.
When the Government offered to
give away buffalo it was straight and
honest enough to say that it would
not recommend a full grown buffalo
as a household pet or parlor orna-
ment, and that in some ways one Of
these creatures might Eot f1t well in
society where all the rules of etiquette
and old ld-fashioned conventions are OBJ
served. But the deer are recommend
ed for private use.
1t is said that though the Govern
ment offers to give these deer away
there is nothing wrong with them.
Some people are naturally suspicious,
and when the Government offers to
give anything away those Of us who
are not suspicious become so. But a
Government guarantee will go with
each deer, and it is hoped that kind
hearted and trusting citizens will
come to the aid of the Government
and the deer that the pretty little ami.
mails shall not suffer from hunger and

jectured. There is a tradition that
Britain's foreign policy is a continu-
Gus one, uninfluenced by changes in
the government at home, but in the
present contest this tradition Is being
knocked into a cooked hat. It Is true
that failure to prosecute a communist
editor on charges of sedition was made
the pretext for overthrow of the Mac
Donald government, but all the world
knows it was a pretext only. The real
issue in the campaign is the treaty
negotiated by Macdonald with Soviet
Russia, with the attending engage
ment that the British government
shall guarantee Russian loan.
The bars having thus been let down,
and parliamentary campaign being
fought squarely on an issue of for
eign policy, no man can tell what may
be loosened from Pandora's box. The
spirit Of accommodation displayed by
Macdonald, and which has made pos
sible remarkable progress toward set.
Elements in Europe, has not in the
servatives in British public life. If
the Conservatives come into power
without ajority of their own i'll the
Commons. dependent upon Liberal
votes for requisite majorities, there is
danger that much which has been
done in the past year will be undone.
Certainly the reaction, both in France
and Germany, will be to the disadvan-
tage of the Dawes plan and the pro-
gram for the adjustment of reara-
tions and the assuring Of peace by
treaties OF arbitration as contemplated
by the Geneva protocol. Forced to
deal with a Conservative British gov
ernment, plus the spirit of Lloyd
George, there is reason to doubt
whether either Herriot, in France, or
Marx, in Germany, will be able to
carry on.

Boys and Dynamite.

heads on young shoulders. The pub
lie school has proved a valuable insti-
tuition in instructing boys and girls
in arithmetic, history and, to some
extent, in physics, but it has not edu-
Gated boys to the point where they can
be trusted with giant firecrackers and
sticks of dynamite. A dispatch from
Pottsville, Pa, says that police found
three public school boys, each under
- years old, who confessed to using
sticks of dynamite as fuel for bon
fire. The boys said they used the
sticks because they made pretty blue
flames" The police took charge Of
the rest of the fuel. Congratulations
go to the boys and their relations
that the sticks of dynamite were used
on fire in the open instead Of being
put in stove or furnace.

The Campaign Is With Us.

Really it sounds like old times, and
paign is on. A few weeks ago people
were talking Of apathy. Old General
Anathy was with us again, The peo-
pies candidates were Walter Johnson.
Eucky Harris, Earl McNeely, Roger
Peckinpaugh, Goose Goslin, Ossie
Bluege, Fred Marberry, George Mo-
gridge and the rest of the heroes, Peo
pie were not interested in politics.
Was there really going to be an cleo
tion in November? And so forth.
Again the old familiar sounds are
with us. La Toilette charges that the
radio is a monopoly, and will not pass
his speeches on to a suffering world.
Secretary Hoover denies that there is
radio monopoly. La Toilette and
Bainbridge Colby charge the Repub
lican national committee with collect
ing a slush fund to corrupt the voters
OF America and defeat the will of
the people. Chairman Shaver of
the Democratic national committee
CIhl 6eS cSluelll SOOlluSt Will ldlL-
ure to reduce the "abominable" sugar
tariff, and accuses the Department of
Justice with maliciously delaying the
prosecution of Charles Forbes. Candi-
date Davis says that Secretary
Hughes, in his New York speech did
not know what he was talking about,
and e-tracked the truth, or words
to that effect. George Lockwood. for
mer secretary Of the Republican ma
tional committee, telegraphs John w.
Davis an indignant denial that he
was involved in any scheme to frame
up" Senator Wheeler. and insinuates
that the Democratic candidate is no
gentleman. Young Theodore Roose-
welt says that Tammany is a wicked
institution, and that the Democratic
party never did anything but make
mistakes. Secretary Hughes calls out
that the Constitution is in danger, and
that the only way to save it is to vote
the Republican ticket. Democratic
headquarters in Chicago has negro
bureau" and says that hordes of col
ored people are going to vote the
Democratic ticket.
The political campaign is on all

Herman H. Kohlsaat,

Herman H. kohlsaat, to whom
death came suddenly at the home of
Herbert Hoover yesterday, occupied a
unique position in the life of the Amer
lean Nation. Starting at the foot of
the ladder his genius was first dedi-
Gated to journalism in Chicago. His
newspaper work proved the portal
through which he stepped to more
than 40 years of devoted and generally
unrecognized service to the Nation.
Other men have probably held more
intimate relationships with one or an
other of the leaders of the political,
literary and economic destinies of
America during those years. But no
man, it may be confidently asserted,
has ever more consistently played an
active, If silent, part in the drama
where others acted the more conspicu-
Gus roles.
During those years Mr.. Kohlsaat
sat in friendly conference at the side
Of nearly every public servant of
America. Presidents, governors, the
leaders of Congress, ambassadors,
editors, authors, without regard to
party, creed or other persuasion
sought his counsel and called him
friend. To those who did not know
him, his capacity for winning the con-
fidence and intimacy of those charged
with high public trust must almost
seem incredible. But it is different
with those who knew For it was
through the, hearts of men that Her
man Kohlsaat entered, to spread his
gifts of clear vision, ripe experience
and unprejudiced judgment before
them, in the service of the Nation he
loved.

But stronger than anything else,
the Indianapolis News believes, was
the wish that Walter Johnson might
crown his honorable career with vic
tory" In fact, the Minneapolis Tri
bune is certain "the country-all but
New York maybe-loves 'Bucky Har-
ris for giving the broken old man
his chance, and it loves Walter for
what he did in his come back"
While Earl McNeeley's hit was
worth not far from $1,000 to each
member of the Washington team, de-
clares the Kansas City Journal. ''it
was worth vastly more than that in
the eyes of the fans throughout the
country, because it not only brought
in the worlds championship run, but
it brought in Walter Johnson the win
ner and crowned with success the am
bition of a lifetime, apparently thwart-
ed forever when he lost his second
game" Thus, when Walter Johnson
came back, 'it wasn't Washington
fans alone who went Wild" accord
ing to the Birmingham News, for "the
passion of joy swept from the Cana
dian Rockies to the Florida Ever
glades, perhaps from Atlantic ships
to ships in the Eastern Sea. The come
back of Walter johnson. who had
been drinking the lees of bitter de-
feat, brought marching songs to the
lips of Americans
The most nearly dominant emotion
as the United States settles back to
business after seven days of hectic

gests, probably is Joy that Walter
Johnson came back with all the pitch
ing wizardy which has made him
justly famous to realize his ambition
and win world series game
The Cincinnati TimeS-Star says: IF
we had written the scenario of the

should have changed play. Dame
Fortune showed a keen sense of the
dramatic. And. best of all, she gave
the battle into the hands of d good,
clean crowd of young men. the kind
that make the sport the national
game of a great republic" The Port
land Express agrees that sit was a
splendid battle, perhaps the most
spectacular and dramatic that ever
has marked the sports yearly classic,
and among other good things will
help to make the game even more
popular than it previously has been"
For both teams, the Anaconda Stand
ard is sure played the finest kind
of ball at all times concluding with
