 1 While we are not carving as i strong a program as We should for 1 the social life of our young people. 1 through lack of leadership, the fol-
 lowing will give some idea Of what we are doing:
 Girl Scouts-The Girl Scout troop met during the early part of the year under the enthusiastic leadership of Miss Mildred Barrows. but who was later obliged to give ii up. Since summer the troop has been kept to- 2 ther by some of the older girls. but still lack an adult leader Several of the older scouts took the summer training course at the Normal school. and several are in the fife and drum corps. At Christmas the troop flied d stocking with gifts for a little girl.
 Boy Scouts-This troop consists of g scouts in patrols in two general divisions The first division meo's Tuesday nights in charge of Mir Fay. and the second division on Monday nights in charge Of Assistant Scout master 1itchincr. Commcndablc progress in scouting has been made. one boy attaining the rank or Eagle Scout--the highest degree in the movement. and several became Merit Badge scouts. Sixteen boys went to the summer camp al Cobalt. The troop has cooperated with local head quarters in community service as called upon. In the drive for Red Cross cnrollments they secured the largest number Of any troop in the city. They have taken membership iG tho Red Cross and contributed to the Salvation Army Drive A basket t&N team has been formed in each division.
 Rifle Club--A group of younger boys meet weekly for rife practice in the newly equipped rifle range. This range was built in th" basement Of the church last summer through the joint efforts of the South church and the Corbin- -Russwin small Arms club, who use the range twice a week.

SENATE BASES QUOTA
ON THE 1890 CENSUS
Adopts 2 Per Cent Rate After
Long WrangIe-WouId Let in
10000 a Year.

Washington.-Two per cent of the
aliens in the United States. as shown
by the 1890 census. would be ad
mitted annually for the next three
years. or about $4,000 a year under
decision reached by the Senate
after a long and complicated wrangle
The 1890 census was chosen by
vote Of AZ to 80. There was no roll
call on the per cent ratio. but it
passed by heavy majority
Four roll calls were required recen,
ly to reach the final decision. On the
amendment of Senator Willis. Repub
lican. of Ohio. to fix the quota at
PEI cent, there were two votes. Much
confusion ensued as Senators under
took to keep themselves informed of
What was taking place.
AS tn, bill was reported from the
committee to the Senate ii provided
70: 2 per cent of the 1910 census
Senator Willis moved to make this I
per cent. and his motion carried. 50
to Is.
Then Senator Harrison moved to
change the year from 1910 to 1890. and
hi. motion carried, Al to 80.
The Senate then found that it had
voted for l per cent of 1890 which
many Of the Senators did not wish to
do. Notwithstanding an agreement
beforehand that opportunity would b.
had to vote on the Willis and Harri
son amendments. the best parliamen
tarians were employed in getting the
situation Strengthened out. Finally. 1t
was decided to reconsider the vote on
the Wills amendment, and reconsid
Grafton was ordered by vote of so
10 Is. Thereupon. It was lost by %
to Sc. which left the bill as it finally
emerged from the tangle-2 per cent
of 1890.
