More than 4oo, 900, girls are sharing
In the benefits to be obtained by
membership in the Girl Scouts OF
America, Miss Alice Mulkey, member
Of the Girl Scouts National staff, told
Bismarck Rotarians at their weekly
luncheon meeting Wednesday noon.
Miss Mulkey was in Bismarck to take
part In the Girl Scout conference
which ends here tonight.
Added to. this figure, said Miss
Mulkey, are some $4,000 women who
are registered in Girl Scout work as
adult leaders. This year, 1887, she
said, should be a particularly auspic-
iouS year for the organization since
it marks the 25th anniversary Of its
founding.
Miss Mulkey explained the basic
teaching in character building and
letsure-time programs Of the Girl
Scouts, and pointed out that the
things learned as Girl Scouts are ap-
preciated more and more as the girls
grow older and apply the knowledge
in everyday life.
Last year, she stated, 600 camps for
Girl Scouts were operated in the
United States, and 100000 girls regis
tered at these camps.
She complimented the Rotary clubs
ct the country upon their pronounced
interest IN and support of the Girl
Scout program, saying that in many
places Rotary clubs have established
camps and turned them over to the
Scouts.
Burt Finney was program chair
man and introduced Miss Mulkey.

RESERVOIR WATER
P0URS into mouse
River Bed at Minot Will Be
Flushed Out; Ranchers to
Benefit by Flood

Approximately 1,l00 acre feet Of
water, released Monday from the Up
per Souris reservoir, known as Lake
Darling, is expected to reach the
Eaton reservoir, southwest Of Towner
in McHenry county Thursday, State
Engineer E. j. Thomas said Wednes-
day.
Release Of the water by the U. s.
bureau OF biological survey was or
dered by Thomas to provide flood ir-
rigation for approximately 1000 acres
of land on the Eaton project.
The water travelling approximately
100 miles down the Mouse river loop
Is expected to Flush out" The river
bed through the City Of Minot.
Thomas said. 1t was estimated
it would require about Is hours TO
reach the Eaton dam.
Thomas asserted that the water
was all that would be released from
the Foxholm dam this year for flood
irrigation. During the remainder Of
the summer the water viii be released
gradually as it enters the reservoir.
Capacity of the Upper souris reser-
vor is approximately $4,000 acre
feet. Between 5000 and 1000 acre
feet had been stored up by the spring
runoff, Thomas stated.
M. D. Graham of Burlington, who
has prior rights on the water, will
get . share for irrigation purposes.
Thomas asserted.

monds, which declarer's K won.
East led back the K of clubs, CIV
ing defenders their second and last
trick, but of course declarer scored
only 100 points for five tricks won,
plus 100 points for honors held. He
failed to score the all important
premium for the game which he
had not bid.
Had the hands been bid properly
East would have played a contract
of 4-Hearts and made an overtrick.
The heart contract would have
been somewhat more difficult to
play than the club contract, but
any fair player would have made
an overtrick. as detailed below.
Nortfs Ace of diamonds would
win the first trick. Probably de-
clarer's K of that suit would win
the second trick, clearing North's
suit. Declarer would take two
rounds of winning hearts with his
Ace and K, then he would have to
lead clubs, to clear that suit before
pulling trumps. If East first
pulled trumps. North could run off
diamonds, when in with his Ace of
clubs. and put down the heart con-
tract. Suppose that North did not
win the first club trick. That
would do him no good, because
dummy, as we'll as South, could
ruff third lead of the suit, still
giving East one overtrick.
With good partner it is no
longer considered necessary to re-
bid 6-card suit, before showing a
4-card suit of higher value. Bid

ranking suit is the longer or it

to improve the general physical
condition of the child, and see that
it does not go to bed within two
and a half hours after it has eaten
supper.
Bed-wetting is another cause of
mental anguish. It also is purely
habit, not due to a diseased condi-
ton of the kidneys but only to a
lack of normal control Of the
bladder.
Treatment is not Of much value
until children are at the age Of six
or seven years, when they are able
to understand what the physician
and parents are trying to do. Two
mistakes in the treatment are,
first, to punish the child, and Sec
ond, to wake it up two or three
times at night and take it to the
bathroom. Sometimes physical
conditions, such as diseased tonsils
or worms are responsible, and the
condition clears up when these are
removed, but, in general, patient
training and education will be all
that is necessary in the way OF
treatment.
QUESTIONS FROM READERS
w. p: "What will alleviate or
cure, or prevent poison oak Attic
tons? I have tried everything
suggested, but to no avail. What is
YOUR opinion concerning the pre-
tentative measure of incubation IN
the muscular part Of the arms or
back ?"
Answer: The question Of the
treatment Of poison oak is indeed
a problem. I really know OF no
treatment that is of much beneht
except learning every variety OF
the plant-and this includes such
other poison producing plants as
primroses-and scrupulously avoid
ing them. After contact is MADE
the poison lies on the surface OF
the skin for some time, and can
sometimes be removed with ether
soap or strong kitchen soap. Inc
ether soap dissolves the oil, wnicn
is the nature Of the poisonous IN
gredient. l do not believe that
vaccine or internal treatment has
proved to be of any value.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-02-26

were of the 1000 pound variety they would displace approximately $50 cubic yards of earth and make a hole 50 feet in diameter at the surface and would create a danger zone to humans of about 2100 yards, or over mile, from the point of explosion. If the target were city, the smaller 300 pound demolition bomb would complete destroy a five story building of steel and concrete construction and the larger 2,000 pound one would seriously damage a New York City block. Direct Bombardment Futile
 But the direct bombardnient of 8 city would be futile and eX- travagant move except possibly as a desperate resort to break down the enemy's morale. A city such as New York could easily be isolated and rendered uninhabitable by cut ting off its water and food supplies through destroying the exposed water reservoirs, and by attacking all incoming ways of transportation and rail centers. The moral effect of depriving the entire population of large city of it's food and water and so forcing mass evacuation would be infinitely greater than the loss of few hundred lives.
 Bombs are divided into three classes, inert, explosive or demoli- ton, and chemical. The first of these, the inert, is used only for target practice and 50 need rot be considered. The demolition explo- sive bomb, which also serves for in- |cendiary purposes, is the one which the layman will have cause to wor- ry about in the future. These can be equipped with either an instan- taneous or delayed fuse, the latter delaying the explosion for 1-10 second and thus allowing the bomb to first penetrate into building, battleship, bridge or other struc- ture which an internal explosion will have the greatest effect, while the instantaneous fuse is used pri- marily against ammunition dumps. The chemical gas bomb is the most horrible in it's result although it's effect is confined to 8 far smaller area than is popularly supposed, and 1t would be practically impos- sible to harm any but a small pro- portion of the population of large city by its use. However, it's effect is so inhuman in this small eff ciency area that it will certainly never be used by this country ex- cept as retaliatory measure under the greatest provocation. Its most efficient use would be as a follow up" to the bombardment of & vital spot such as 8 rail-center or muni- tions factory where clinging, thick mustard gas would delay necessary repairs. A city such as Waterbury situated in a narrow deep valley would be particularly susceptible, for the gas would settle there in- definitely.
 Defensive Precautions
 Now as to the defensive precau- tions which finally proved fairly effective in the last war. First the
