GIRLS TRAINED IN BUDGETING ATSCOUTCAMP — Boys Haught Satisfaction Os Earning and Spending Wisely New York, —(UP)—Not only . should girls, as future housewives, I be trained to handle family finances I but boys, as future breadwinners, j should learn the satisfaction that comes with earning and spending wisely. These are the recommendations of Joseph ne Scliaiu, National Director of the Girl Scouts, and of The National Council of the Boy Scouts bf America. • Not only do we believe that young girls should have an allowance. but in our national camp we make them one, and actually teach them how to use it" said Josephine Shain. ’1 he national camp is "Andree" at Hriarcliffe. N. Y. Here each girl is allowed $6 a week in camp money, ‘ I which must be budgeted to buy her I j three meals a day for a week. The) i girls buy from the store at camp. I just as their mothers buy from the ' ! market at home. Each day a different leader buys | the food for her patrol of eight girls Staples, such as flour and cereals. I are pu.chased for the week on the day the money is distributed. Fresh I fruits and vegetables are purchased each day. Plan Menus The gills themselves plan their | menus ahead of time, within limits I >et by the camp dietitians, and must I hen budget their expense to meet j heir income. One summer's experience at planning their own living expenses I s enough to make them enthusias- ; ic about being "independent," and ' .i lily aware of the value of money. I i h s training to spend wisely is picked up and encouraged by the year-round Girl Scout program, nome- making badge stiesses ability ,o keep a lamily budget. The budget-plan at Camp Andree las been adopted by most other jirl Scout camps through out the country. Thrift Part of Program Thrist is a definite part of the scouting program, though it is difficult, outside of troop activities hemselves to plan budgets for the boys. Such a plan would have to vary according to income, number of children, ‘standard of living and I between city and country homes. , "A scout is thritfy" is the ninth I Scout Law To become a Second j Class Scout, the boy must “earn and deposit at least $1 in a public bank, or earn and raise some farm ' animal." For First Class rank he must “earn and deposit at least $2 n a public bank or plant, raise, and I market a farm crop ’ o—itctd vals A six and one half pound boy baby was born to Mr. and Mrs. Otto Sovine of Sturgis. Michigan, Friday I afternoon. August 28, at the Adams ' County Memorial Hospital. The I baby has been named William 1 Glenn. There is one other child in j the family, Miss Genevieve Sovine who attended High Schoo! in Stur-[ gis. M s. Sovine was formerly Miss I lima Ayres, and has been visiting vith her mother, Mrs. Sarah Ayres ! in this city. Family Cat Saves Children From Rattler — _ Rawlins, Wyo., Sept. 3. — (U.R. 1 They tell the story here of a house ■ at, that saved three children from a rattlesnake. The reptile, one with eight ratles and a button, was crawling towards the children. The cat pounced on the snake. The rattler coiled. The cat sprang away. The snake uncoiled and again the cat jumped to the attack. After thia procedure was repeated several times, adults killed the rattler. BETTER SCHOOLS AID CHILDREN Chicago, Sept. 2 —(U.R)—Modern school buildings should be built within a community through applications, if any correlation between the various plants is to be arrived at in determining the relation of school architecture to child health, the City Club of Chicago has found. After two years study of building and housing conditions in the Chicago public schools, the Housing and Public Health committee of the City Club discovered that the problem is too vast, the differences between school plants and their locations too great to permit of definite conclusion in regard to child health and architecture. Standardization of school con ) struction on the basis of varying conditions is vital, the committee found, in order to give children ol all classes equal chance. During the last five years, ac

cording to the committee report, - there has been evident in Chicago! a new style of school architecture! ibased on the needs of children,' ! which has resulted in a much im-I | proved school plant. Although it was possible for the ( committee to obtain statistics on [defective health of school children iin Chicago and among children of ' cities of more than 100.000 popula- • | tion throughout the country, it felt any conclusion establishing the re- ■ lation of architecture to health was ' i unwarranted. / Therefore, standardization was' I urged in building conditions, in | • order to deal with the problem of j '[child health. ’ I n Kansas War Vets Plan Protest to Pennsylvania — Pittsburgh, Kans., Sept. 3. —(U.R) | / —Kansas war veterans who served /with the 35th Division in France. , are preparing to ask Pennsylvania . | this question: ~ I “Say! what's the big idea?" Kansans, touring French battle-1 I fields, reported that a handsome monument had been erected by 1 , i Pennsylvania in the Courtyard of ;, Varennes commemorating the val ' lor of that state's soldiers who, ac-) | cording to the marker, captured |, the town. •. “It was Kansas troops who captured Varennes,” said Fred Hen-1 |ney. president of the 35th Division , | Association. “None of us ever will 11 forget Sept. 26. 1918, when we ] drove the Germans out." | Official action regarding the mat- i I ter will be taken here in September ! ; when the division holds its annual / I reunion. i1 iCongressman Wants Ship Named For War Hero i North Attleboro. Mass.. Sept. 2. I — (U.R) — Congressman Joseph IV. i Martin. Jr., has asked Secretary of I the Navy Adams to have one of' the new U. S. destroyers now under | construction named for John J. I Doran of Fall River, Spanish war | hero. , When the U. S S. Kearsage hit Roncador reef in 1892. Doran volunteered to put ashore, in the face of enemy fire, to rig a breeches buoy.

“OLD MAN RIVER" FURNISHES HOME New Orleans, Sept. 2. — (U.R) Richard Burton, 60-year-old unemployed machinist, has built one of the coolest little homes in New Orleans. Three years ago, when Burton was “laid off" by the machine shop where he worked because he was "too old", he found a job as night watchman of a large, idle steam shovel. The job paid sls a week, $5 of which he paid for a room. A year ago his pay checks stopped and he faced the prospect of eviction from his home. It was then that he decided to build a home He went out on the Mississippi river in a borrowed row boat and towed planks and timber ashore for his home. He sold enough of tlie lumber to buy food and necessities. Hoping that some day lie will get paid tor hie seryices, he has stuck to his job of watching the large, rusting steam shovel each night. By day he works on his home. It is almost finished and consists of two well-built rooms eight feet above the ground, so he need not fear the floods. He has sold surplus lumber salvaged from (lie river to buy nails, screens and hinges for the little house. He hopes to paint it soon. "Everything has come from the river that went into the place." Burton said.
