and she showed them where different
arts and crafts were studied, the
sleeping quarters for the different
ages and the trail to the beach where
the boats were high and dry
The assembly bell rang at 10 o'clock.
Girls began coming from all quarters,
forming semi-circle by the porch
where piano is convenient for out

songs generally used by Scouts. 1t

at the Hoshi home A return party,
as a courteous gesture to the Sunday

Of the Methodist church, party given
by the Japanese Young Peoples Club,
and the immediate return party the
same evening to this group.
There were fifty guests present, in
Guiding the club and the Sunday
school classes of high school boys and
girls. Miss Hoshi was given many
going-away gifts of perfume, handker-
chiefs, hosiery and money. Games
were played, and twenty minute
period during which the young people
wrote steamer letter for Yuri. Mrs. T.

Each girl from Vashon has the
plaque she made as decoration for
her room at home. The star charts
are to be the property Of the troop fcr

used ties on which patrol insignia had
been block printed. The compass repre-

the leader were presented with tie.
All were delighted with the day
spent visiting and hope Tacoma Girl
Scouts have their summer camp at
Burton next year. To see the note
books on birds, flowers and grasses
was an incentive to get at Scouting
seriously.
The girls we're very glad they had

Conservation

battle is In the open and the people
OF this state must get behind and push
for the initiative which Is being drawn
up to be voted on at the next election.
The commercial interests have not
killed the last salmon yet; so they WIZ
obstruct any movement to curtail the
desire to kill the last fish so they can
put 1t In the book on the right side
of the ledger, This isn't political
issue. But money speaks any political
language, so you can bet your neck"
there will be plenty OF money spent
by the fish trap men, purse seiners
and all other commercial iSh' interests
to defeat the initiative which is de-
signed to close the state to all traps
and fish wheels and allow purse
seiners only to certain waters. Now
hope you can see our idea of COIL

them enjoy their heritage Of not only
fishing but catching a fish once in

No Shock to Denmark

Some foreign governments might have been shocked at having lady ambassador sent them by the United States. Denmark is likely to accept the fact oheerfully and without sStonishment. That competent little nation has made SO many innovations of it's own that it will not worry about this American innovation. In fact. she will probably welcome Mrs Ruth Bryan Owen with open arms. Certainly in this country the announcement of the appointment of the first woman ambassador was hailed both with polite astonishment by the sceptical and with real enthusiasm by those who know Mrs Owen and her many attainments.
 Denmark pioneered in equal suffrage. It has gone farther than most of its sister na- tions in social legislation. It abolished it's own army and navy last year for two sound reasons - love of peace and sincere desire for economy. We do not hear much about Denmark. It minds it's own business so effectively and behaves so well towards the rest of the world that it does not break into the news which in these days is over burdened with troubles alarms, fears, and misbehavior of peoples. Modern Denmark will know how to welcome and work wltha modern ambassadress
 As to Mrs Owens ability to aequit her self and her country nobly in her new. ca pacity. there is little doubt. She is well known and favorably liked in Denmark. She toured the country some years ago and made careful study of Danish methods in the treatment of its social legislation. Her experience as a representative from Florida will stand her in good stead While she is not the counterpart of her famous father. William Jennings Bryan, she possesses some of his traits. She speaks well and has thorough knowledge of the workings of governmental machinery. In word she IS as fully competent to hold down the post of ambassador as many a man who has been given such an honor.

Thomas Jefferson

Although Thursday was the anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson. there was little or no recognition of the day throughout the nation other than the cus- tomary observance in such places where his name is perpetuated. It would have been a, signal honor for Congress to have called attention to the fact. Jefferson was not so much the founder of the democratic party as he was one of the great builders of this nation. Jefferson was partisan in politics but he was more than that. He was lover of true democracy. That's why he fought so hard for his principles.
 When he was inaugurated president Of the United States on March 4, 1901, Thomas Jefferson sounded such principles as free and equal justice for all men, econ- omy in government, etc. They were prlnci- ples upon which he governed his entire life ana he never swerved from them throughout his many vieisstudeS. But we must not think of Thomas Jefferson merely as a statesman He was much more than that He was brilliant lawyer, an 1n- yentor, an architect. and founder of our modern education system
 As mere youth of Is, he attracted at tenton by his surprising knowledge. not merely book knowledge. but that of a prac- tieal nature too. He was fluent writer, too. and convincing one. Although it has been stated on many occasions that Jefferson was author of many important public docu- ments this has often been discounted How ever, it is reasonably certain that he did in truth draft considerable portion of the Declaration of Independence. In attalnments our third president was rich. In faults, he likewise displayed number. What man of high standing hasn't them' But the United States was the richer for Thomas Jefersons s wise counsel and wise ruling Tn its carly days. It's a pity that more honor cannot be accorded him today not merely as founder os national political party, but as one of tl.e fathers of our country.

Neat Streets

Cities which have prided themselves on good-looking business sections and attractive residential neighborhoods have real prob lem on their hands to maintain their appear ance these days. An ugly mess of For Rent signs advertising posters and rubbish col lects rapidly in windows and on the prem- ises of vacant stores and houses. Getting rid of all these evidences of decay should be d part of spring cleanup campaigns this year. The hodge e-podge of ,untidy signs and placards should be weedcd out carefully. and such legitimate signs as remain should be neat clean and attractive.
 A"good deal of improvement could be achieved without undue expense to the own CTS, simply by removing some of the signs and yielding a scrubbing brush. Communl- ties owe this sprucng up to themselves, not alone for the esthetic and spiritual value. Without it they suffer depreciation of prop erty values and loss of business. A good store in dlapidated neighborhood is badly handicapped.

Law Needs Reconditioning

If there is still time it might be well for the legislative committee on motor vehicles to raise in committee bill amending the present automobile junk yard law which was passed two years ago by the General As senby. The Connecticut Supreme Court has just found that it is unconstitutional in part in finding written by Justice George E. Hnman and concurred in by all other members of the court. Under the oonsttu- ton it is not permissible to give judicial powers to the commissioner of motor ve hices states the court, and in the present statute governing the issuance of licenses for automobile junk yards these powers are allotted.
 The office of the motor vehicle commIs- sioncr IS regarded as an administrative rather than a judicial one. Therefore it certainly behooves the Legislature to correct the statute so that the law may be properly ad ministercd throughout the state. lnasmuch as the opinion was written as the result of demurrer filed after d New Haven junk yard proprietor had been found guilty and con victed of violating this particular statute in the lNeW f1dVcH tOuTl or Common l'IedS, IL is safe 10 assume that similar exceptions could be found in the future and perhaps, if the accused cared to take the trouble. in past convictions.
 There is need for sound law to govern the operation and establishment of automo- bile junk yards in this state For time they were springing up in unrestricted numbers. Highways were defaced by cars that were al- lowed to rust away their lives in blssful rest. Cities. where there were no regional planning or zoning ordinances, could not prevent their intrusion into sections where their presence spelled retrogression rather than progress It was this knowledge that impclled the Legislature to take action two years ago. But evidently it's advisers on con- stitutional law did not do their job thor oughly. If it isn't too late the mistake should be rectified at this session.

Economic Barbarism

Denmark is killing cattle just to get rid of them, and burning the car:asses. In two weeks cattle-owners and slaughter houses killed 10000 for "non-commercial' pur- poses. and it is expected that 50.0OO more will be sacrificed. This is done to raise the price of meat on glutted market. The cat tie destroyed are paid for, at a moderate rate, by taxes on those slaughtered for sale. There are hundreds of millions in the world hungry for that meat
 It sounds crazy. and it is. But it is merely the application to food animals of the same policy that has often been applied to inanimate foodstuffs. Brazil has burned coffee. Our producers have got rid of sur plus production by burning corn. dumping apple crops into gulches. throwing fish back into the sea We are now planning to pay farmers for not raising so much food. At the same time cities borrow money to buy food for their hungry, With all our indi- vidual science and skill. collectively we hardly seem yet to know the a. b, of pro- duetion and distribution. Posterty will look back to this as a period of economic barbarian.
