These t girls have won 57J,600 homecraft honors during the year ended -December 15. They have cooked and served at least two Sunday dinners while their mothers have rested ; they have careta for a baby at least an average of one hour a day for a month and they have made four kinds of biscuits. The gospel of health, which, according to the Camp Fire Girls' rules, includes sleeping out of doors or with wide-open windows for two consecutive months between October and April, inclusive, was practiced by Camp Fire Girls who won 488,346 health honors. Any. Camp Fire Girl winning such an honor can sew a garment, trim a hat, take a dozen photographs and develop and print them. More than 98,000 girls excel in campcraft. They are able to build an open fire in wind and rain with material found out of doors, or help build a permanent outdoor community fireplace. They have proved their ability by actual demonstration. The number of citizenship honors distributed was 209,000. These are awarded for community service. Camp Fire Girls who have been able to save 10 per cent of their" allowa&ce or who have earned money for ten weeks successively number 155,000. . The number of honors won by the girla during 1924 is 86,610 more than the previous year, a total of 1,986,300 honors being awarded for the present year., So it would seem that the next generation is not to bereft altogether to the more or less tender mercies1 of the present-' day flappers.

as she sat on the floor by an open bookcase completely surrounded by histories and reference books. "What are you doing?" he asked peremptorily as she vouchsafed no reply to his first question.

"What nbout that January 3. 1777. when General Washington captured l'rlnceton after capturing; the entire Hessi;in force at Trenton on Christmas night?

Philadelphia the New Nation's Capital "I don't know why that should remind me but until today I dldnotknow that the capital of the Colonists was at Philadelphia 4t that time. In fact, I had never thought about a capital at all, or the necessity for one," remarked Clarence thoughtfully. ' "I suppose that is why Howe gave up helping St. Leger and Burgoyne and

marched to capture Philadelphia. It would sound so nice in England when they should hear that Lord Howe had

captured the rebel capital." ' "Well,' wise old Ben Franklin saw

through it if the slow-witted English lord did not. He said that Howe had

not taken Philadelphia, but Phlladel-

tne Americans were defeated at Bran-

tne Americans, he stuck to it that it was a good thing to have happened.

"That was once we just plain didn't have any luck. He drove Washington to a terrible winter at Valley Forge.

Mrs. Jolly held Up her finger for attention: "The Happy New Year was visible to the eye of Faith, however, or the men could not have endured at Valley Forge. As a matter of fact, the tide of war was being turned in France right then, but they did not know It until the treaty villi France was signed In February. That treaty ttua a deathblow to the English.''

The Faith of Washington "It was that same faith as exemplified in Ceorge Washington that made the Happy New-Year In 1777," Urged Clarence, drawing his chair closer to his mother. "Don't you re member how Cornwallls went to sleep o peacefully the night before because he had "that old Fox'' trapped'' The road to Princeton was an ini paasible hog. and the Deleware river full of Ice" "And It all froze In the night and Washington got away just like the

children of Israel crossing the Tied Bea," Interrupted Mary, who had not talked for a full minute. "Cicneral Washington captured l'rlnceton. and the only reason he did not go on and capture that big depot of supplies

at New Brunswick was because his titlf fed men were too exhausted." Mrs. Jolly, seeing Clarence's Irrita

tion, hastened to create a diversion. Enter General John Stark "It seems to me that we should discusa this year of 1777 a little further," she agreed with an air of deep Interest. "It was such a crucial

time the sort of time that makes strong men, and breaks weak ones, aa the saying goes. For instance, there was General John Stark, one of the most picturesque figures of the

Revolution. He I "He was captured by the St. Francis Indians and adopted by them." interrupted Mary, springing to her feet and striking an attitude. " Come on, boya. and capture the Redcoats, or Molly 8tark will be a widow,' "' she quoted with excellent dramatic effect which waa completely lost on Clarence. "Those were his exact words.

might spread to France and cause their overthrow which was Just what happened." "Parlor-Bolshevism did It. if vou know what I mean," interposed Hary with an air. "The aristocrats were amused to have a new thrill at first. They say the way to start a revolution Is to set women to talking, and French madames had regular talk-parties they called salons. I think the talk started the revolution right there the French Revolution I mean, of

course.

I see you know your sex, Mary." grinned Mr. Jolly; "but Ben Franklin Interested such noblemen as the Marquis de La Fayette in the righteousnes of the American cause. You see a great French writer, Rosseau. had been writing that government should be a contract between the governors and the governed for the benefit of the latter. Since the governors

in France that is, the king and his nobles had betrayed the trust given them by the. people, he held that the people should take back the reins." "That reminds me of something." Interposed Mrs. Jolly. "Hand me that history, will you, dear?" When Mr.

Mrs. Evans is intensely Interested in the work of her husband and accompanies him oirmost of his travels over the nation. Mrs. Evans is a native of Fate, Rockwall county, Texas, where she received her education in the public schools. Being intensely Interested in children and in educational work, she took a position as teacher and was teaching in a public school near Forney, Texas, when she met, and later married Dr. Evans. During her long residence in Dallas, Mrs. Evans was an active member of the Eastern Star, of

which organization she is a Past Worthy Matron. She has also held several high offices in the Grand Chapter of Texas. She became a member of the Women of the Ku Klux Klan immediately after that .brajich of the order was formed, and has been an enthusiastic worker In it. She believes that there is a great work for the Protectant Christian women of America to perform, and with justifiable pride exhibits the picture of a beautiful home her Klan in Dallas has established for the orphans of deceased Klansmen. It is a large two-story brick structure, purchased entirely by the Klanswomen, without assistance of any kind from Klansmen. Although but recently opened, it is already taking care of twenty little children, providing them with a good education, a cheerful home, and greatest of all, the love of good Protestant

women who are doing all in their power to take the place of real mothers to the unfortunate children.

The Family House Cleaning 'pilERE COMES a time for all things, it seems, even for cleaning out the musty corners of that most cherished institution, the home. It Is pre-eminently a Job for the church, if anyone, and the Rev. Clinton D. Cox of the Drexel Park Presbyterian church, Chicago, has started the good work by turning the white light of publicity into the general murkiness with the laudable intention of attempting to better conditions. With this end in view, the intrepid Chicago pastor invited letters from the husbands and fathers of his parish on the subject of the reason for unhappiness in homes. Almost with one accord the Adams ran true to form in blaming their luckless Eves for breaking up the domestic Edens. A similar questlonaire addressed to the women 'bared various cases of bitterness toward the husband, but with a recommendation to the mercy of the court, so to speak, because the mothers of such husbands had "spoiled" them. Next, the children were given a hearing with the result that some

275 boys have voiced their grievances, and their charges are not mere complaints they are serious enough to merit the thoughtful attention of every American who realizes1 the importance of the home in the life of the American nation. , "Home is a storm center," is the accusation of one boy: "Home is a court room, and every supper table, a trial scene" asserts another. What a picture their words conjure forth! A wrangling, disputing, contentious household without love or peace the two words that should be synonymous with home. The evening meal which should be a time of relaxation

and rest, refreshing both mind and body, turned Into a "trial scene." It is painful to picture a sensitive boy and boys are more sensitive and Impressionable than many parents dream suffering a united attack from his family, or parents, as he sulkily gulps his tasteless food, or slams back his chair and leaves the table according to his temperament. Why will benighted parents overlook the fact that a good digestion is as essential to their son's success in life as good manners we are tempted to add good morals; for a healthy, well-nourished body rarely craves stimulants? Anger causes chemical changes In the body that create actual poisons. Shame, fear, worry in short, anything which depresses has a decidedly bad effect upon the digestion. In the name of good health, why cannot the dining table be respected, as a safety zone where nothing unpleasant is allowed to menace the welfare of the household? There is plenty of time for discipline without spoiling a meal, and plenty of time to hear bad news. Remember that "a merry heart doeth good like a medicine." The supper table should be a place of gayety and laughter the playtime after a day of toil. Where this rule Is followed, the gain is incalculable to children and grown-ups as well. Parents will not acknowledge it when they are wrong, is the eomnlaint.

of another boy whose sense of justice has been outraged a poor preparation for preaching fair play to the boy of the future. The wildest parents before marriage are the ones who ' are strictest afterward, asserts another boy which is fulfillment of the Scriptural assertion that the evil which a man does lives after him. The very worst charge of all, however, is the cry of the hurt and indignant youth who wants a mother whom- he can trust a mother who will not tell the neighbors everything that he confides in her. How can any mother hold so lightly such a priceless thing as the confidence of her son? How can she protect him agaipst the temptations that

are sure to comer now can sne serve as counselor and guide when she herself has closed the door to his inner thoughts because she has proven unworthy of his trust. On the whole the charges of the boys ring painfully true. While the children may not be blameless in the matter, the, fact remains that the parents have every advantage. They strike the keynote of the home, and they should see to It that It is harmony which is one phase of love. There is an old Chinese proverb to the effect that one picture is worth 10,000 words. It is a very useful reflection for parents who wish their children to have the best opportunity possible to make the most of themselves in this world. The picture of his parents Imprinted indelibly upon a boy's mindwtll far outweigh a multitude of exhortations. The great majority of parents are self-secrificing sometimes to a fault; for the martyrs help create the selfish people; but the average child will remember whether or not his home was a happy one long after he has forgotten the things that were done for his comfort. Take It all In all, a house-cleaning Is a very necessary thing in its place, and this clerical overhauling Is provocative of thbught, and, we believe, will lead to a better understanding inour homes.

The proper way to approach Hollywood in order to gain the full measure

of the glamour which is part of its lure for perfectly correct people is

by way of the silent, mysterious desert. There, as the sultry, glittering day begins to wane, the Spirits of the Desert drape the distant mountains, sharply drawn against an opal sky, with every shade of rose, and mauve, and blue, and gold, filched from the looms of the Rainbow and interwoven with mist. Perhaps a solitary horse

man may appear for a moment, etched against the colorful hills, or a figure moving in the purpling brush may give emphasis to the stillness of the scene. There is a sense of un

reality In it all: the breath-catching

charm of a wondrous fairy tale about

to be told.

If one is wise enough to be foolish

at the proper time, one takes this Im

pression with him into the beautiful

city of Los Angeles, dreams of it that

night, and takes it with him to Hollywood the next day as a magic mantle to throw about it and transform it into something "nearer the heart's desire." Otherwise, disappointment is the result, for the real Hollywood is a very neat, business-like suburb rather like any other suburb, and the studio buildings are rather ordinarylooking buildings on the outside with no hint of what is going on within.

"Is-Bes" Dress Quietly. The next thing to do is to go to a smart cafe for luncheon which Is frequented by the cinema world. There one finds excellent dinner, music, dancing, and waiters who are very accommodating about pointing out the celebrities. It is but fair to say that, as a rule, the actors and actresses are the most inconspicuous-looking per

sons present. The excessively madeup, and freakishly dressed girls are the "Hope-to-bes" not the "Is-bes." The rule holds good in the various amusement places of the city. The movie stars were modestly dressed and quiet in demeanor. To return to the cafe, the scene is enlivened by an occasional actor in costume, for instance. Jack Holt in a strangely colored cowboy costume, looking very human and friendly in spite of his gorgeous neckerchief of

screaming purple. A slip of a blonde

girl in a plain dark dress and Aliceblue hat at a table near him turns out to be Marion Davles. Her clear

skin is quite innocent of rouge, and she is chatting gaily with a grayhaired man. Near her, a tall girl dressed in black with a big black beaver hat a little back on her wellformed head, turns out to be none other than beautiful Betty Blythe of Queen of Sheba fame. She is famous, on the screen, for wearing few clothes, but off the stage she even wears long sleeves. Adolphe Menjou

appears at a table against the wall, and his shrug is just as French as we are accustomed to seeing. Two stall-fed looking men evidently getting on in life, but missing nothing by the way, are explained to us as being "producers" of fabulous wealth, and there is a table with four temperamental looking "directors" gathered

about it. Stars Eat Modestly. The "stars," as a rule, eat moderately and hurry away in a very business-like manner, and then it is all

over unless one has a friend at court. Then it is possible to gain admittance into the grounds of the studios and even to see the wheels go round. We were fortunate enough to have that privilege. Once Inside the magic portals, all

the Arabian Nights charm of the desert comes back. One sees streets that are clearly the streets of which

we read in our Dickens of long ago. A step-further, and we are in France, or we look behind us unexpectedly and discover that we are about to trip backward into Asia. These strange sights are "sets," as they are called in Movie parlance, that have been used in former pictures and left

standing for some- reason. Perhaps as a measure of economy, since a little tinkering by a resourceful architect transforms a building magically. For instance, the castle which delighted us in "Robin Hood," delighted us equally as the mosque In "The

Thief of Bagdad," although no one could suspect its genesis. A little later, the writer was permitted to see Colleen Moore at work on her new . picture, Sally, and fell in love with her personally as we had done already on the screen. A very modern room had been furnished in

As we watched we saw her eyes slowly fill with tears. As a director explained to us, there is no glycerine for Colleen, she is a little bunch f nerves and emotion, and can turn the tears or. at will. The scene was rehearsed again

and again with infinite pains, always in the glare from the lights. We un

derstood then why a prominent producer who has developed so many successful stars told us that he elimi

nated numberless aspirants to the screen with one question- "Can you look at the run without blinking? If not, you need' go no further." As we watched .the slender girl and the good looking "leading man." a bell tinkled and the fairy world vanished like a flash Colleen ((whose teal name is Katherir.e Morrison, by the way) came running out among the rafters to greet us, and we found her modest, unaffected, and altogether charming. Her big eyes are just as expressive as when she is acting, and the fact that they are not quite the same color adds piquancy to her personality. She seems to think of nothing but her work and making it better and better, and it is easy to understand, after talking with her.

why her star is steadily in the ascendant. So much for Hollywood where vice

It is too bad to be compelled to disillusion those- who would go there hoping to find something tarribly thrilling and not altogether nice. In private life.

Personally, we believe that better pictures would create an audiende of a different type. The persons who need the diversions of the screen are the hard-working men and women who are the backbone of this country.
