ANACONDA, MONTANA, SUNDAY MORNINQ, OCTOBER 21, 1923. "HOME, HEALTH, SERVICE" SLOGAN OF CAMP FIRE GIRLS 9 1 around the home and out doors. That the out door feature has its appeal to girls as well as boys is evidenced by the fact that 150,000 Camp Fire Girls went camping for a week or more on money they had earned by their own efforts. Origin of Camp Tire. The earliest origin or Camp Fire was in the home of Dr.

and Mrs. Luther Halsey Gulick, the former being a director of physical training in the city schools of New York. A circle of Camp Fire Girls was first organized as a social group, but it proved bo successful and attractive that other circles were soon In existence. Its growth from that point was rapid. Initial steps toward the formation of a national organization were taken by Mrs.

Charles H. Farnsworth, with the name and ranks being suggested by-William Chauncey Langdon. Preliminary work was done during the summer of 1911 and the following winter funds were secured and the movement for members launched. The honor system Is relied upon entirely to carry out the program. A system so varied that any girl can adapt herself to it has been worked out.

The Camp Fire iprogram is based on seven points which the founders considered significant things in life for a girl or woman. These points have been named the seven crafts of Camp Fire, namely: Home, health, camp, hand, nature, business and patriotism. list of Honors. Under each of these crafts is a long list of honors toward which each girl strives. Many of the (honors which come under the home craft pertain to tasks which are often considered a drudgery, such as cooking, housekeeping, care of children, care of sick, laundering, marketing, care of pets, social leadership and other such points.

Perhaps no craft, however, has a more Important bearing on the life of a young girl than does the health program. Honors may- be won in exercises, first aid, personal hygiene, water sports, winter sports and hiking. Camp Fire emphasizes particularly outdoor activities and this is considered one of its most essential features. Through well planned hikes, camping trips and outdoor games, Camp Fire seeks to develop the girl physically into a healthy human being. wmm IP' M0 W's OMANCB Is to be found in the most irksome tasks of the This seemingly is the attitude taken by some 000 young women of the country who have banded themselves together under the name of Camp Fire Girls.

"Home health and service" is the slogan have adopted with particular emphasis on the "home." Organized only about 12 years ago, the organization has already taken on a national aspect with an enrollment nearing the 200,000 mark. In Butte a Camp Fire circle has been In existence for some time, but 1 plan is now under way to greatly increase the enrollment. At the present time the membership numbers only about 40, but the next two or three "weeks. It is expected, will see this figure doubled and possibly tre-. bled.

Some conception of the aims and program of the Camp Fire Girls can be gained from an explanation offered by Miss Ruth Brown, executive secretary of the organization at Beat-tie, who has been In Butte during the week with, Miss Gay to aid in the task of building up the Butte circles. "Camp Fire is intended to teach a keen appreciation of the highest values in llfand to live so that the daily life will be the application and expression of the ideals of its members," Miss Brown said. by Girls. "Only of a comparatively recent date have adults come to realize that the girls of today need an organization which carries a wholesome pro-gram and which will permit them to All their spare time with wholesome activities and furnish an outlet for their emotions and energies. "Camp Fire furnishes just such a program.

It gives the girl an opportunity for many diversified activities and at the same time supplies romance and affords an outlet for the fraternal instinct "Imagination plays a major part In a girl's birthright and is a determining factor in her life. The program of the Camp Fire Girls takes care of this birthright and by directions makes the girls imagination wholesome and constructive." In Butte, the organization is still practically in Its fancy when compared in point of numbers to those of other cities. In Seattle, alone, there are more than 3,000 members. A great deal, however, has been accomplished locally. Under the directions of competent women It has constantly grown in favor in the eyes of the public, non-sectarian, non-partisan and democratic it appeals to- the instincts of nearly every girl.

Butte Camps. Miss Oneta Jean of the East Side Neighborhood house has charge of the Monitan group, while Mrs. John Redmond is the directing head of the Sacajawen circle. The Walohi circle is directed by Miss Mable Carmichael. "Wohelo" Is their watchward, the meaning of which is" "work, health and love." "Seek beauty, give service, pursue knowledge, be trustworthy, hold onto health, glorify work and be happy," is the law that every Camp Fire Girl endeavors to put into her every day life.

Should a person inquire of a Camp Fire Girl as to the purpos of her organization as to the purpose of her or spond: "To put romance, beauty and adventure Into everyday living."

CLEVELAND. Swimming the English channel is a fat man's game, Car-bis A. Walker of Cleveland, who swam across Lake Erie this summer but failed to negotiate the channel, said in explanation of his failure. "I was in the water three and one-half hours," he said. "It was so cold It penetrated my muscles.

After swimming three miles I became delirious and then unconscious. "It's a fat man's job' and only a man with a lot of surplus flesh on his ribs to withstand the cold water can succeed. I failed because I had kept down weight for fast swimming." Family Rare Gathering age; her granddaughter, Mrs. J. B.

She also is a brilliant writer On labor and socialism. It is due to her persuasiveness that thousands of, votes were cast in behalf of the labor party in the last general electoin, though ehe was beaten when she stood for Northampton -against one of Lloyd George's ministers in parliamentary elections of 1920. Incidentally she is a confirmed optimist.

Born in Somerset, she began working at the age of 13. and her knowledge of conditions among shop workers is second to none in this country. Thus her appointment is a recognition not only of her -abilities, but her lifelong devotion 'to the cause of the workers. Miss Bondfield represented Great Britain's thousands of shop workers and saleswomen in the international conference at Berne in 1918, at tho French trades union congress in Paris the same year and at the labor convention under the League of Nations at Geneva, in. 1921.

At this last place was held the second international congress of working women on the same occasion and Miss Bondfield assisted in the formation of the International Federation of Working Women, of which she Is now British vice president, and whose president war Mrs. Raymond Robins of America; She also was a British trades nnion congress delegate to Russia in 1930. She is a member of the central committee, on women's training and employment and eecretary of the National Union of General Workers. FGR G. 0.

P. FIENOMINATION By the Aisociated Press. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. President Coolldge will have opposition, in the republican national convention- next year.

Senator Moses of New Hampshire; chairman of the republican senate campaign committee, said today on his return from a swing through 12 states west and east. The senator, who conferred with the president during the day on the political situation, added, however, that everywhere he had been a favorable spirit toward Mr. Coolldge, with scarcely any leading republicans who did not take his nomination for granted. Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, former- Governor Lowden of Illinois, and Senator Johnson of. California were among those mentioned by Senator Moses in connection with the presidential nomination.

He would not venture a prediction as to whether Mr. Coolldge would be nominated, saying it was too early for IT COOLIE TO HAVE FIGHT ecry Oajzt of- Margaret Bondfield's Election as Labor Chief Prophetic. Three in Commons. LONDON, Oct 20. The election of Miss Marraret Bondfield as chairman of the general council of the Trades Union congress, considered to be the highest and most influential position nl the trades union is not only an Indication of British organized labor's devotion to one of its stanchest and ablest champions, but is prophetic of the desire of labor leaders to shut no doors on women of ability.

There Is as-yet no woman labor member In the house of commons, although a number have 'aspired to such a position, and on more than one occasion a feminine labor candidate has been defeated by a narrow margin. Of the three women members of parliament, two are conservatives and one is a liberal. But Lady Astor, conservative, and Mrs. Wlntringhanv lib eral, have much in common with such womjn as Miss Bondfield, and Lady Astor, in particular, has many friends on the labor benches and works in close- co-operation outside the honse of commons with labor members in many of her philanthropic undertakings. The third, Mrs.

Mabel Phillip-son, formerly a very popular actress on- the London stage, is almost a diehard conservative. The election of Miss Bondfield has struck th imagination outside the labor ranks almost as much as inside and nowhere more than in the women's organizations throughout ahe country. 'To' those who have followed the British labor movement closely in the last, few years Miss Bondfield's election comes as no surprise, for more and more- the women in the ranks have come to play more important roles. It has been said by a number of labor leaders that if labor comes Into power in this country women would have a place In the cabinet. Besides being an able executive Miss Bondfield is a witty and powerful speaker, as her American audiences learned when she visited the United States in 1119 to attend.
