effect. That was by climbing
three tiers of fire escape and en-
tering a window. This was the
plan chosen as there was no
dressing room in connection with
the hall and no place where
Santa and his party could be
detained in comfort throughout
rthe first half of a lengthy program
without being observed by all.
To climb three stories of fire
escape on a winters night with
ever so small bundle is difficult
enough, but to ascend the cold iron
stairway each with large basket
or bag filled with oranges and
candy, and to have to replenish
their supply through this same dan-
gerous way was almost more than
they bargained for or were, indeed,
able to do. 1t was work, and Cap
tain and Mrs. Pickering never de-

When Santa poked his bewhis

and dragged his numbering bundle

All the time they were distribut-
ing candy and fruit they were be-

crowd, and replied with as much
spirit and gaiety as the place and
the condition of the assembled
audience would allow. 1t is but
fair to say that Santa and Mrs.
Santa both enjoyed their visit to
that unusual place, and that they
fingered longer than their usual
custom on holiday visits.
Christmas is always day of JOY

look squarely into the faces of the

night. In spite of the clouds and

quilted them his visit during that
holiday season seemed to have

They became conscious that there
is no soil so dark that it will not
respond promptly to the sunshine
and gladneSs of Christmas. The
almost instantaneous change in the

come, and again it had impressed

REJECT FRENCH
/. PROPOSALS
ON DEBTS
Mellon Sees President, but
Says Plan Is Not
Submitted.

WASHINGTON, Oct. @-
Frances proposals to date for settle
Inent of her war debt to the United
States have been found unacceptable,
and today, the last day of the sched-
nlcd stay in the United States of the
French financial mission feverish eff
forts were put forth in an effort to
find common ground for agreement.
The width of the gap separating the
offers of French Finance Minister
Caillaux and proposals of the Ameri-
can debt commission is a matter OF
pure conjecture. The two missions
were called into joint session today to
once more 60 over the situation.
Prior to this meeting, however,
members of the American commission
went to the White House and laid the
whole situation before President Cool
'idge. Secretary Mellon then issued II
statement declaring all French prepa-
rations had proved unacceptable but
not indicating whether any American
proposal had found favor with the
French. ~
Z The statement said:
The representation in the press on
the supposed authority of a member
VI tHt Ithtu tOiiinisSioH thdt uSite-
ment has been reached and purporting
to give the terms is entirely incorrect.
Such a statement obviously did not
come from NJ. Caillaux because before
the adjournment Of the subcommittee
last evening the French members were
informed by the American members
that their proposals were not likely
to be accepted.
There have been no differences of
opinion whatever amongst the Ameri-
can commission. The visit TO the
President this morning was to inform
him of the position of negotiations.
No proposal has been made acceptable
to the American commission and none
has been submitted to the President
for his approval or disapprovai."
The American commissioners held
a meeting after leaving the White
House. and their talk with the French
mission lasted perhaps ID minutes,
after which the latter returned to their
hotel

NATIONAL SCOUT
OFFICERS HERE
Girl Scouts at Bonner Lake
Visited by Distinguish
ed Executives.
ENJOY CAMP FIRES

Girl Scout camp at Bonner lake, has
entertained several very distinguished
visitors recently. Among them was
DR.. Bertha Chapman Cady, Of nation
al scout headquarters, who is scout
naturalist. DR.. Cady made an unot-
fetal visit to Kenosha several months
ago, but this is the first time she has
seen a scout camp in action.
She explained the new nature study
program to the scouts, and compli-
mented them upon the way the camp
study is carried on. She narrated TO
an interested circle Of scouts, her life
in the West, and her adventures while
journeying through forests.
Regional Director Here.
Anne Hynes, director of this region
of Girl Scouts was another visitor
! last week. She reported very favor
able impressions of the Bonner lake
regime, and said that she no longer
classes Kenosha camp, with her "sm Ill
scout camps" but among the very
! largest and most progressive in the
region.
! She was especially impressed by
/ the interesting campfire programs,
which form a large part of the life
tat camp. Charades are popular, and
are played frequently, after the sun
thas set, and the fire has been lighted.
{ A recent stunt which proved most
popular was a story pantomimed in
shadow pictures by the dramatic class
! of the camp. The story as we'll as
the pantomime was strictly original,
and pointed the most serious Of morals
in the most amusing way.
Troop Stunts Popular.
Athletic stunts around the camp
fire are also popular, and competition
between patrols is energetic. One
night each week, each patrol prepares
an original Scout song, and vote
IDS taken for the best Stunt night is
also on a competitive basis, to de-
termine the cleverest and most orig
Iinal stunt.
+ The program is carried out in spite
of any unfayorable weather which may
occur. The recreation tent is used
instead of the open-air campfire, and
the lanterns which cast weird shad-
ows over the room, make almost as
| pleasing an effect as the campfire
light insef.
