South's hand contained four quick
tricks and . five-card rebiddable suit:
therefore, even though his side u vul-
nerable. be Is justified In making an
original bid Of one heart. East and
West are also vulnerable.
West finds himself with three quick
tricks, . biddable 1our-card suit and
= weak five-card major suit. AZ he
can oyercall with one bid II he elects
to name the major, he decides that
there u no grave danger and bids one
spade. North passes, q does East.
South should be warned, as his
partner has passed after eouths
original bid. West, who Is vulner-
able. has put In an overcall.
Il Is true that South holds the ace
and king Of the suit that West bid.
but this should be IN additional
warning that undoubtedly Vests high
card strength lies In clubs and dia-
monds. South, however, re.bid his
hearts, and West passed.
North has normal trump support,
and he has q doubleton which has
come value. Partner has elected to
keep the bidding open vulnerable,
therefore North has . perfect right
to feel that his partner has oonsid-
erable reserve strength. North now
Did three hearts. South did not make
the second mistake Of bidding four
hearts. but passed.
The Play

Of clubs followed by the ace, South

The queen Of hearts picked up

It is rather difficult for the average

To overcall with less strength when

coming week, win Join With thousand.
Of other scouts throughout the m.

scout movement, whose official birth
day = March II. During the past
week members d the local council
have visited the troop meetings q {
part Of the anniversary Observance.
When Juliette Low came home from
England to Georgia In the spring Of
1912. armed with handbook on Eng
lish Girl Guiding, even her friends
smiled ct her enthusiasm and won
dered how she could be sure that Z
program appealing to British girla
would also appeal to Americans. Yet
In q few months six troops Of savan-
nah girls, dressed In dark blue duck
uniforms were hiking into the coun-
try with their bird-books and playing
their own version Of the Enslish Girl
Guide games.
In 1918 there were 400 girl scouts
In Savannah alone. and Mrs. Low
opened . national office In Washing
ton. D. G. In January, 1914. the girl
scouts were incorporated g . na-
tional organization.
Movement Spreads
New York heard Of the new move
ment and eagerly welcomed Mrs
Low. Boston and Cincinnati were
next to Join. In 1916 Mrs. Low de.
cided that the headquarters must Be
moved to New York. It was q better
place from which to direct IN Or
ganiSation that was spreading "a
every state.
When America entered the World
War there were 5000 girl scouts. BY
1924 there were 1854 In 1870 II
was found necessary TO train leaders
adequately and continuously Improve
the program, while keeping up with
the increasing demand for girl scout
ing among American girls. In jan
uary, 1881, tho registered membership
was 2o6.el0.
/. Perhaps the most remarkable A.
pect Of girl. scout growth Is the sud
den squirt which It always seems IA
take during q national emergency.
The World War was . spur to girl
scouting and 90 was the world de-
preston. Since January, 1850, the
membership has increased 1854.
AID In Times Of Stress
In 1918 the girl scouts were knitting
for the Red Cross and acting q mos
sengers and ushers ct meetings. In
1857 the girl scouts were sewing for
the Red Cross and distributing food
and clothes to tho needy. In 1918 the
girl scouts were cooperating with the
food administration. canning fruits
and vegetables and sometimes even
growing them. In 1857 the girl scouts
grew and canned fruits and veget-
ables for distribution to tho destitute.
Both In war and peace times they
played feminine roles. In neither did
they drop their regular program, for
helping . nation Or q neighbor Is just
community service which girl scouts
do Ill the time.
Girl scouting exists now In every
state Of the union and every
American territorial dependency, and,
though the program was founded BY
IN Enslishwoman, Lady Baden.Pow.
ell, under the title Of Girl Guiding.
It has become American girl scouting
and IN integral part Of American
life.
