Miss George Ann Lillard. of Chi
cago, pioneer in the girl camp move
ment, makes this sad assertion.
Miss Lillard knows her girls She
has studied them for years in her
summer camp in Hebron. n. H., and
is here now preparing for another
summer out of-doors.
Ten years ago the girls who
could catch the natural, gypsy spirit
of camp life and enter into it best
were girls from IL to l6 years old, ,
she said Nov it takes much
younger girls-tots from s to 10. One
camp out of Chicago accepts chill
dren from . to years.
Lowering the Race
This shortening of childhood's
span is a step backward in civiliza-
ton" is the way Miss Lillard sums
up the tendency of the age. Bio
logically it lowers the race"
She cites the animal kingdom to
prove her statement. The length of
time from birth 10 maturity is one
sign of a higher form of life. Rep
tiles and fish take a short time to
mature. Kittens are full grown in
a few months. But their lives end
in nine years or so. Horses take
longer to reach maturity and live
often to 80 years. Man, the highest
form of life, enjoys a greater span
and needs more childhood to prepare
him for it.
This sophisticated age has made
little men and women of its chill
dren," she asserts. THE clothes of
boys and girls are an indication of
their thoughts and actions. Long
pants like papa's for the boys.
French frocks, hats, even purses just
like mama's for the girls. Children
are surfoited with life and blase be-
fore they are old enough to start to
live.
Artificial Lives
AT their parties paid entertainers
amuse them. Their whole lives are
artificial. Formerly little girls who
wanted to act 'grown-up' would
leHS lIleH SklIlS anu put up lIlelI
hair Now they rouge and smoke
cigarets."
Miss Lillard described some of the
innovations in the new models of
little S-year-old girls. She found
one child who was making a collec-
ton of face creams. A tot of 10
brought to camp at least a dozen
bottles of beauty lotions. A new.
cmer of nine remarked about the
lovely time she had on her last day
at home-she had had facial, a
shampoo, water wave and mani
cure.
Get back to the simple life if you
want to cut through the artificiality
of the age" is Miss LIZARDS advice.
Camp life is natural, simple-the
kind of life one cannot lead until
he has shed sophistication and arti-
ficiality. Therefore camp life prom
Uses a remedy for the blase lives of
today.

Agricultural Notes
Silo Filled By 5-Horse
Power Electric Motor

That a sharp reduction can be-
made in the cost of operating cleo
trio motors in filling silos has just
been demonstrated on the farm of
w. A. Cady on the experimental
power line out of Red Wing. Once
it was thought that a 20-horse pow
er motor was required for this
purpose. Then further expert
ments demonstrated that the work
could be done with Is and even
10-horse power.
But now on the Cady farm big
silo has been filled with power
furnished by a 5lhorse power mot
or at a cost of only about two
cents a ton for the electricity used
in cutting and elevating the corn.
Five to seven and a half tons of
corn, depending on its quality,
were put in the silo in an average
hours run. This means low cost
of filling.
"Three things made it possible
to fill the Cady silo with a 5-horse
power motor" says E. A. Stewart,
OulNSISlIy VI mlLllcSOCd pIOlSSSVI,
who is in charge of the Red Wing
line. "They were the low speed of
the cutter, sharp knives, and prop
er voltage on the motor. Only two
knives should be used on the cutter
and they should be sharpened ev-
cry half day. Preference is to
be given to the 16-inch cutter, the
large size, but it makes no partic-
ular difference whether the large
size or small size is used. The large
cutter was driven at the rate of
BAT revolutions a minute. Proper
voltage control can be obtained by
placing the transformer in the
farmyard and not by the side Of
the road as has been the practice.
81 have advices that results on
the Cady farm have been duplicat-
ed this fall on several other Min
nesota farms where electric power
is available. More than 5000 Min
nesota farmers who have electricity
from power company lines are in
position to make substantial saw
ings."
