Y READ, not long ago, in an ex-
change, that nine Butte girls had
been raised to the rank of First
class Scouts. This was all Greek to
me; l was reasonably familiar with
the duties of boy scouts, but l had
not the slightest idea of the require
ments for a girl scout of any rank.
This certainly deserved investigation,
and l decided the result of the re-
search should find a place in any
newspaper column devoted to women.
/ learned that there was an immense
amount of preparatory work to go through,
before a girl can hope to become a first
class scout. She does not have to be an
expert marksman- do not know that girl
scouts carry guns; but it might not be
amiss If they did so, and could use them
effectively in self defense.
She must, it is stated, earn fifteen merit
badges in the following subjects: home
nursing, first-aid, and home-maker; she
must know how to sew, and to depend up
on herself in camp, for what's not stated.
Then there are swimming tests to pass.
When out on a hike, she is not to observe
merely the beauty of the country through
which she passes; but on her return, she
should be able to draw a map, including
the landmarks along the way, of the scene
Of her walk, and it must be accurate
enough to be used as a chart by others.
Then there is flag signalling to learn.

Thrift habits are to be gained through \

as guide for a company of girls. and
trained a, tenderfoOt scout. In addition ia
the above, it is necessary that she shouId
nave taken part in some kind of Ommun
" work outside of that demanded bv the
rules OF her organization. Two years. at
least OF hard work are required to qualify
for first class scout.
There are forty different badges awarded
FOR special service as journalist, cyclist,
photographer, Gamer, in citizenship, as
musician, neediewOman, hOmemaker. artist.
swimmer, ~laundresS, child nurse, pioneer
pathfinder, craftsman, star gazer, health
and flower binder.
These are about enough accomplishments
TO gain in two years, and even q smatter-
ing of them should entitle the winner to
the respect of the community. One thing is
certain, however: the girls engaging In
scout work, will have a healthful outlet for
their suplus vitality, and gain some knOWl-
edge that will prove of benefit through
life. Those who are fortunate enough to
meet any Of the nine first class scouts Of
Butte, and knowing the requirements which
have earned them this title, can say, with
the poet:
"And still they gazed, and still the
wonder grew,
That one small head could carry all she
knew"
At least that is my recollection Of what
the poet said.

ring, after his second losing battle with
Tunney, Jack expects to go cunning

body else" he said.

Rickard, the former champion said he
stood ready to do business with him

thing attractive to offer
Jack was in good spirits when called
from his hotel suite. The only appar-
ent mark of the Tunney battle was a
cut over one eye, but it had almost
healed.

and I'm ready to get started, Dempsey
told newspapermen.
when do you expect to fight?"
"Anytime, anywhere"
