IT have already read another copy
of your report, so that might know
something more of its detail before we
met here for these few minutes of for

emphatic satisfaction-and it is just

followed of our laws Is that a Girl
Scouts duty is to be useful and to help
other people at times Girl Scouts try,
always, to find out what is the greatest
need around them, and then, to take
their full share of responsibility in over
coming that difficulty or improving
those adverse conditions. And may I

WOmen's Aid Praised.
Because Of a devastating drought
that has fallen upon the just and the
industrious almost as hardly as upon
the unjust and the lazy, there is great
want of these necessities over larger
areas in our country. And over nearly
all of our country there is consider
able sprinkling Of our population, even
of the very friends nearby whom we
know, and Of our Girl Scout sisters, or
perhaps of the very sisters of our own
blood, who are suffering because there
is not enough work wanted done in the
world just now to keep busy all who
want to work. In the actual drought
relief there was little that the Girl
Scouts could do. That is where their
fathers, and some of the mothers, could
and do still act, in helping the farmers
through the coming year until another
crop IS in. And the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture was empowered
to furnish special help for this purpose.
THE great band OF 100000 active
Girl Scouts, with the other 100000 or
more who have been Girl Scouts, but
who have now grown beyond the age
of active membership, shows a typical
cross-section of the women and girls of
the United States. For there are Girl

terpsichorean goddess, before whom
most dance mantles these days are
dotted, said "as soon as the dance
can break away from the theater-
and have life of its own-only then
will it be able to obtain perfection"
Who would care TO admit that as
soon as the T'heater Guild incorpor-
ates ballet dancing for its subscribers
season. or Jed Harris plants dancing
feet among his theatric treasures.
or even Mae West trips the light
classic phantastic, that then the
theater will rise from its swan song
and once more fly happily through
the clouds?
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Martin
said not so much about all this as
he did about the importance of the
return of the dance in its freest
emotional form-one, it would seem,
without the bands of intellect. While
he ragged at the so-called academi-
clans" and warned his listeners (who
included many of the most noted
dancers in the city, that they must
dance as they themselves see fit,
not as Mr.. So-and-so said in 1850,
or the other Mr.. So-and-so said in
1880, he pointed O finger of praise ut
Isadore Duncan and Fokine and his
Russian Ballet, and at Pavlova, who
has stood longer on her toes than
any one on this earth.
Most pleasant was 1t to hear, from
one so versed in his art as is Mr..
Martin, of the importance of "our
own" Martha Graham in the dancing
world of the present. Miss Graham
and Doris Humphreys, ETC., were
fixed permanently among the positive
dancing stars Of all times-and this
because without benefit of Mary
Wigman, or Of Fokine, or CT the an
gered italian ballet masters, who
chortle over the sometime f1at-footed
Gas in her whilring dance Frau
Wigman, these American ladies land
also, pardon, Ruth ST. Denis) have
invented a dance method of their
own which Is quite as perfect ex-
pressionism as Is the dancing Of their
foreign sisters.
To one non-skilled in the intrica-
cies of the dance form-the title of
Mr.. Martins talk was "The Forms
Change"-this seemed a most en-
tightening discussion of an art that
is progressing by leaps and bounds in
this country. The audience approved
mostly of what Mr. Martin said
with great joy. and afterward ques-
toned and answered him and found
out more things which it hadn't
known before.

Mrs. Turley has recently come to

did radio and concert work. Her
contfalto voice is very full and has
an unusually clear resonance. It's
power would lead one to suspect
that dramatic songs and operate

clinations seem otherwise, and the

dynamics wide, ranging, from the
soft Maria Wiegenlied" to the

Some Effects of the Crisis in
Chicago

Emergencies" in 1890 1t says:
Homes will be lost in the buying; money will
be borrowed on disastrous terms: household eff
fectS gathered slowly will be scattered; occu-
pants of separate homes will move into furnished
rooms; jewellers in decent neighborhoods will be
driven into meaner Streets a lower moral tone
will follow upon the loss of privacy dodgers will
be taken in who are unfit companions for small
children; large families will be insufficiently fed
on the two days in the week earnings of one
member; children will be taken from school pre-
maturely"
Translated into terms OF working class misery
in Chicago, this means a growing number of
evictions, child "delinquencies," and suicides
Take first the number of evctions Reports
OF the number of rent cases-"Forcible Entry
and Detainer and Distress for Rent" is the way
the law describes them-in the First District of
the Municipal Court of Chicago The number
of cases more than doubled between September,
1929, and September, 1881, rising from 1889 to
1885, and the second figure being less than the
actual number, for the record of one day is
missing from the total.
The figures of the Illinois Health Department
show that 1880 witnessed the highest suicide
rate ever recorded in that state, the rate per
100000 being ID as compared with 144 in 1929
The latest figures obtainable for Chicago itself
covering the months from January to November
1880, show 585 suicides during that period an
increase of 129 over the corresponding period
in 1929. The figure will certainly show an in
crease again in 1881
The Illinois Health Messenger, issued by the
Illinois health department, reports in its issue
Of August Is, 1884, that 1.-THE mortality from
intestinal disturbances increased sharply in
Illinois during 1880 while the general death rate
fell . ;" This was due the article continues
to dietary deficiencies: 1.-THE economic depres-
sion reduced very significantly the money avail
able for food in many families"
At the same time the Illinois state department
of public welfare points out that on July / of
this year there we're 2,376 more patients in state
institutions than year ago, or an increase of
per cent
The applications made TO the Cook County
Hospital during the first II months of 1880 also
show the rising curve of misery of the working
class. Some 13l485 applications we're handled
as compared with 11e,O45 during the same per-
od in 1929 But due to lack of funds the num-
Der Of actual admissions rose only by about 1000
AS the President Of the Board of Commissioners
of Cook County reported Owing to the lack
of funds during the year many things which
could have been taken care of have been left
undone"
The number Of juvenile court delinquency
cases has also showed a sharp rise since the de-
preston, rejecting the disntegration Of fam
lily life" under capitalism. The number OF de-
linquent children brought before the court in
1880 was 20 per cent over 1929 The fact that
the number OF dependent and neglected children
banded by ti,9 court did not increase eroatly
in 1880 opcr 1929 was simply because lack of
