personality, ability to meet people
easily. and aptness as genial hostess
are the qualifications required OF a
candidate. Skill in speaking a foreign
language Is also desirable requisite.
The conference will be dedicated, as
was the international conclave held
in the United States 10 years ago, by
lighting a world camp fire, on which
each delegate will lay a fagot. The
purpose of that camp was beautifully
expressed by one of the leaders, as the
fire was lighted: I'VE have come to-
gether tonight" she said, sin this
great hall that we may, by the very
pureness of our purpose and the
strength of our striving, enable each
one of us to go out, not only with
greater courage and hope and faith,
and perhaps with more light on our
path, but also with the full confidence
that in the end the message shall go
on and on, and all life be purer and
stronger because of the fagots that
tonight we cast into our fire."
X1HEN a girl joins the Scouts, she
wv promises: "On my honor, will
try: To do my duty to God and my
country, to help other people at all
times, to obey the Girl Scout laws" +"
In all emergencies, as in the recent
Red Cross flood relief, she proves her
devotion by keeping that promise.
Courteous and alert, attractively at
tired in her gray-green uniform, she
fills an enviable place in all COM
munity enterprises.
When the President of the United
States touches his finger to an elec-
trio button, brilliantly lighting the
community Christmas tree in Lafay-
5ette Square, the Girl Scouts are there

children gather on the White House

One Of the recent achievements OF
the Washington Girl Scouts was to
lift the mortgage on Camp May
.Flather, Washington's own Girl Scout
camp. The camp is in the George
Washington National Forest, $50 miles
from the Capital. Beautifully wooded
hills surround the log cabins, each of
which will house eight girls. The
spacious, rustic lodge Is used for in
sdoor recreation. The swimming pool,
sroofed by the sky Is fed by mountain
springs. Between 200 and 800 girls
sspend from two to eight weeks in this
delightful camp each Summer. They
learn to live happily with others as
they follow woodland trails in the
camaraderie Of friends, and study the
trees, flowers and birds.

~ OACHS RUN, near the Mount
Vernon highway just this side
II of Alexandria, is going to be
l. one Of the busiest spots in
Fairfax County these next few weeks.
1t is one of the hundreds OF wild life
sanctuaries owned ard maintained by
the Federal Government throughout
the United States. This particular
sanctuary is devoted to the preserva-
ton of wild ducks, and now that the
Pin Tails and Mallards have started
their annual Northern trek the con-
centration Of birds at Roachs Run has
become marked. 1t will continue SO
for the next 80 to 60 days.
The same thing is true Of the Black
water refuge in Dorchester County,
Nd, where 8,240 acres Of land and
water have been set aside. Here not
only ducks but quail and other upland
birds have sensed the safety that lies
within that area, and have chosen it
for feeding and nesting ground.
This Winter, for the first time in
history, the country has been able ade-
quately to feed and protect its wild
game Through work done by the
Civilian Conservation Corps under the
direction of the United States Biolog-
ical Survey, an effective conservation
program has been planned and carried
out. Millions of acres Of land and
water have been made available for all
types of game, and the c. c. c. has
devoted itself to lake and pond de-
yelopment work, food and cover plant
ing for birds, eradication of poisonous
weeds and development work to make
these areas more attractive to wild life.
The work has been an outstanding
contribution to the ideal Of conserva-
ton.
THE result, according to officials of
the Biological Survey, has been an
almost incalculable saving in wild
game life, and this will be even more
marked in years to come. Overshoot-
ing and destruction of habitat have
for years made serious inroads in the
wild game population, and while
efforts have been made to block these
evils it was not until recently that
the means to effectively combat them
were available.
During the past year, however, the
work has progressed rapidly along
the lines Of refuge restoration and
development. Throwing the man.
power of the c. c. c. into the job, fire
lanes have been cut through forests
roads improved, observation towers
| and service buildings erected, dikes
and spillways built. Twenty-eight
camps were active in 1886 on % bird

places along the four principal water
fowl fyways-the Atlantic, the Mis-
sissippi, the Central and the Pacific.
The story Of the country's wild life
and the conditions that have led up
to the necessity Of Government in
tervention to preserve the remaining
wild fowl and animal life, reaches
back to conditions that pertained
with the settlement of North America
and the traditions that have come
down from those early days.
At the time the first settlers came
to North America, the abundance and
diversity Of wild game was probably
unequaled anywhere else in the world.
Buffalo, elk, antelope, moose noun
tain sheep, caribou and bear fur
nished meat, and a great variety OF
fur-bearing animals soon became the
basis of a profitable industry. They
included beaver, otter, wolverine, mar
ten, mink, fox, raccoOn and muskrat.
There were an unbelievable number
of game birds-wild turkeys, grouse,
passenger pigeons and prairie chick
ens-and countless millions Of water
fowl-ducks, geese, swans and cranes.
A s CIVILIZATION advanced west
= ward, there came a great change
In the conditions affecting wild life.
Forests were cleared for farms and
the grasslands were devoted to agri-
cultural purposes or grazing. Dis
appearance Of game was inevitable.
Pressure of human occupation and the
unrestricted killing by hunters both
for domestic use and for market cut
down the wild game population and
resulted finally in the total disappear
ance or reduction to small numbers
of the larger game and the fur-bearing
animals Of the uplands as well as the
waterfowl.
Today, however, thanks to the fore
sight of the Federal Government in
providing protection, the country's
deer are increasing, and in some of
the national and State forests they
are over-abundant. Mountain sheep
are still found in some Of the noun
tains of the West, but show an in
crease. Antelope, like the deer, are
becoming too numerous in certain
areas There are thousands of elk
in the Rocky Mountain section. chiefly
in and in the vicinity of Yellowstone
National Park and in the mountains
near the Pacific Coast in Washington.
They represent but fraction. how
ever, of the great herds which once
roamed the western country. summer
ing in the mountains and in the Winter
making their way to the plains.
IN THE Midwest the ducks, geese
and other waterfowl have suffered
both from the inroads of agriculture
and from the vast drainage program
that has been carried on in the river
valleys, destroying both their feeding
and nesting places.
