Thirty years ago General Bad

lack of character training for the

Scout movement which has had

signaling, cycling, nature study,
and seamanship. A highly useful
and practical movement, scouting
is heartily endorsed everywhere.

Now is the time for all wise
women to take inventory of their
figures. June is just around the

summer turks that bugaboo-the
bathing suit-to those who have let
themselves slip during the fall and

become more abbreviated and more
revealing every year. Gone are the
day when bathing suits began at
the collar bone and ended below the
kree. Bathing suits are bathing

and as such give only the minimum

the smallest hollow shows up and is

in front of full-length mirror and
see if you honestly are satisfied with
the figure you are going to cut on

of us are, unfortunately. Something
will have to be done and done
