GIRL SCOUTS ENJOY 2-WEEK
 CAMP PERIOD
Fourth Annual Outing Held at Rocking Moon
 at Neva Point

The fourth annual camp period of the Sitka Girl Scouts has closed after a most successful two weeks in their new camp, Rocking Moon, D at Neva Point in the Tongass Ma tional Forest, it is reported by Mrs. Hugh Nicholson, camp chairman of the Sitka Girl Scouts. For the sec ond year the camp has met all requirements of standard Girl Scout camp as set forth by the Ma tional organization.
 Early in February log cabin or lodge 20 by 40 feet was started by the Forestry Service on the camp site Heavy snows, indictment wealth CT and influenza prevented it's com pletion in the number of hours al- lotted to the project. For a time it looked as though the hopes of the Girl Scout Council for per- manent camp must be abandoned. 0everal public spirited men, led by John Maurstad, gave their time and services over week ends to make the cabin habitable. Up to the present point it is well construct and is the nucleus of what can be- come one of the best permanent camps owned by Girl Scouts. While it still lacks inside doors, outside porches and few windows, it is the Scouts own and they took pos session with cheers of joy. Within the first week, in addition to camp schedules and duties. the grounds were greatly improved, gravel paths made and weeds cut by the girls.
 An unusually heavy rainfall of several days duration washed. out a small bridge leading across a stream to Tent City" where the scouts and their leaders slept. The girls decided they would build a bridge without delay as their gift to the camp. In consequence a solid struc- ture, eighteen feet long and four feet wide, floored with split logs and boasting handrail on either side, now spans the distance be- tween the east and west banks oi the stream, sway-proof and non- skid! Through this the girls learn ed great deal about axmanshir and the construction of articles from materials at hand.
 The most distinctive feature oj this years program was pioneer. ing. The girls, four at a time moved to an attractive camp sitt two or three hundred yards dowr the beach from the main camp each group spending two days there The equipment consisted of sleep. ing tent, leaders tent, a lean-tS cook shack and the bare necessi. ties for living. A few pieces of iror were constructed over a fire as z grill. There the girls cooked theil own breakfasts and suppers on tht campfire, planned their own menus gathered their wood from the drif wood available at that spot ant built trail. Each group had tt cook and serve one meal without
 utensils other than those the, could beachcomb. These meals were instructive and interesting and in.

cluded such palatable dishes as hot biscuits, baked potatoes, planked fish, bread twists and clam chow der.
 Handcraft Work
 Handcraft work was combined with a dramatic project. A great deal of time was spent on carving, modelling and dressing puppets. Two plays were worked on, Jack and the Beanstalk" and Treasure Island" These puppet plays will be presented to the public in Sitka during the month of September.
 In spite of the cold and wet weather, fairly good record was made in swimming Girls passed the twenty-five and fifty-yard tests, while four girls fell overboard' and undressed in the water as one of the requirements for a swim mer's badge One girl completed her requirements for sailors badge.
 The nature project this year was on birds. This was limited on &C., count of unfavorable weather.
 The usual stunt-night, dress-up night, treasure hunt and paper chase were held. The evening usual ly given over to something about table manners took the form of a mock trial with the leaders as members of the court. Each girl was indicted during the day by one of the other campers for any infraction of the rules of good eti- quette, and she was called upon to answer charges and make any de- fense she could. This proved to be a most entertaining and instructive device for putting across table manners.
 Emblem Awarded

 Louise Berg was chosen as the girl who had best lived up to her Girl Scout laws and is therefore en- titled to having her name put on the Girl Scout silver cup.

and then goes to the top of the hill
and repeats. If he does not crack it,
both children keep their own eggs
and change places.
For the past several years folk
dances in costume have been held
during the day by organizations such
as the Friendship House, Y. M. G. A.

MARITAL STATUS
ACT SCORED BY Z
Witnesses Are Unanimous
as House Committee
Opens Hearing.
BY ], A. FOX,

With an overflow audience COM
posed principally of women who ap-
plauded every speaker vigorously, the
House Civil Service Committee today
opened hearings on a bill by Repre-
sentative Celler. Democrat, of New
York, to repeal the marital status law,
an outstanding hangover of the econ
omy era.
Approximately a dozen witnesses
appeared at the hearing, the first on
the House side definitely directed
against the law which requires that.
where husband and wife are employed
by the Government, one must be dis
missed in necessary reductions Of
force.
Without exception. they adhered to
the note sounded by Celler in his
opening. statement, condemning the
law as discriminatory. in various re-
spects, and as subversive to sound
personnel principles.
Nepotism Is Attacked.
Linked with Celler's plea for his
bill, which would outlaw the marital
status clause by amendment to civil
service law, was an attack on nepo-
tism in Congress.
Another high light was colloquy
between Mrs. Caroline O'Day, New
York Representative for whom Mrs.
Roosevelt campaigned, and Represent
ative Jennings Randolph, Democrat,
OF West Virginia As Mrs. O'Day was
proceeding as a witness Randolph
quered: Mrs. O'Day, I get letters
from lot of people who think women
are invading the domain of man and
ought to retire to the home. What
do you think of that?"
"On the contrary, Mr.. Randolph.
you men have invaded our field" Mrs.
O'Day started, to be interrupted by
applause. Continuing, she explained
that various mechanical household
devices had taken the houseWifely
duties away from women.
Law Becomes Permanent.
At the start Celler said the marital
status law was adopted presumably as
temporary expedient to spread work.
but that now it had become per-
manent measure. He envisioned it as
an entering wedge to other employ
ment prescriptions.
Some departments are enforcing the
law and some are not, he continued,
adding: 1T is very strange. but wom-
en- whose husbands are in the service
and who get large salaries are unaf-
fected. If this law is going to apply
to all jobs let it apply to the legis-
lative service. too. Committee men,
bers know many members have their
wives on the pay roll. Let it also apply
to their nephews, brothers and sisters.
Not only will members of Congress be
involved, but even the President him
self would be involved. If we're going
to wipe out nepotism, let's 60 the
whole way"
Mrs. Harris T. Baldwin, first vice
president Of the VoteleSs League OF
Woman Voters, said that the law is
doing much ito undermine the merit
system" She said also that while
the law was designed to affect married
persons without regard to sex, "it
seems to affect principally married
women"
Because of the number of witnesses
still to be heard, the hearing recessed
at noon until 10 am. tomorrow.
