At the Sunday school hour, the scouts of Woodlawn Troop No. 32 took charge of the exercises and in the program given below, endeavored to give church members a brief outline of the work accomplished in scouting: 1 Flag ceremony, pledge of allegiance, laws, promise.

2 What Scouting Means, Miss Alma Smith. 3 Girl Scout Hymn. 4 Prayer, Dorothy Sutton, 5 Camp Coleman, Recreations, Grace Fletcher; Scout Work, Henrietta Armstrong; How We Live, Lucile Metts, 6 Camp Juliette Low, Miss Thelma Linton. 8 Taps, At the morning church hour, Dr. Roy G.

Hershey, pastor of the church, preached a special sermon to girl scouts of Troop No. 32. Dr. Hershey pointed out the broadness of the program of the national organization and the fine work it is doing towards raising the standards and ideals of girls of scout age and in the thorough training given towards the goal of better citizenship and home-making for girls. The sermon was an inspiration to the members of Troop No.

32, and was especially fitting as a prologue to their regular fall program, which opens Sept. 1. The members of the Woodlawn Presbyterian Church have proved themselves loyal supporters of the scout movement both for boys and girls in that they have fully equipped and set aside for the joint use of the girl scouts and the boy scouts a scout room on property adjoining the church. This scout room is perhaps one of the most completely equipped in the city and has added very materially to the growth of the scout troops in that community. MORE BRYANS ARE NEEDED, HE SAYS Assist By Forcing Educators To Prove Worth Of Changes Advocated LOS ANGELES, Aug.

like William Jennings Bryan are needed in America today to advance education. This declared by Will C. Wood, state superintendent of schools in California, when he addressed delegates to the thirty-second annual convention of the American Physical Educational As. sociation. "But we need Bryans," said Wood, "because they serve to keep American education sound and wholesome by forcing us to prove the worth of changes we advocate.

They hold us back for awhile, but not for long." Dr. Wood declared the public as 8 whole is at least 20 years behind the teaching profession in its conception of educational ideals and processes, Parents Receive Shock The parents of a six-year-old child today just entering school looks back over a period of at least 20 years to his own childhood and assumes the child is entering the portals of school under exactly the same conditions as he did years ago, Wood said. "But when the child comes trotting home with a reader that begins with a fairy tale, instead of the traditional patter about the well-known cat and rat, the fond parent begins to have doubts about our education system," declared Wood. "When, a little later on, he discovers that Johnny is trying to learn by the new fangled phonetic processes, beyond his own father's grasi, tne father begins to talk to his neighbers about fads and frills in modern education and praise the good old days when sanity was characteristic of teachers. "And when, to cap, the climax, he asks Johnny what the letter 'S' is, and Johnny hisses like a snake, instead of saying as the normal human being should, father betakes himself to the school board and wants to know why Johnny is being taught the alphabet after the manner of a heathen.

rather than in the good old orthodox, Godordained, Christian way. becomes a militant fundamentalist in education and seeks to pass a Tennessee judgment upon the heretic of the teaching profession. Need Bryans, He Says "It is against such conservatism, traditionalism and public orthodoxy that the schools must make their way, and I am not at all sorry, "We have need for William Jennings Bryans in education. They serve to keep American education sound and wholesome by forcing us to prove the worth of changes we advocate. They hold us back for while, but not for long.

"However, we have a new crop of -fathers' every year and each crop has to be convinced in just the same way. the children taught by modern methods grow up and send their own children to school, the modern method is under fire. "For these reasons say that the school is a conservative and slow-moving institution. therefore difficult for us to outline program of education that is fit for life today and have that program generally accepted." TANNING HIDES BY ELECTRICITY From Germany comes the report of a new leather tanning process called elctro-osmotic, which is now in commercial use there and which is credited with "speeding up" tanning sufficient to cut the time of tanning in half. This new method of tanning involves the use of an electric bath in the course of the tanning process 3 btu otherwise the converting of raw hides Into leather goes on as formerly.

Irst the hides are soaked, limed, freed of hair, and delimed as in ordinary tanning. Then the hides are submerged in A special tanning liquid by hanging them from metal rods. At either end of the tanning pit are groups of electrodes and after the hides are in place electricity is turned on for eight hours. The elsetrical action drives all the water from the fibres of the hides and the tanning liquid completely premeates them. When hides are removed from this electric bath they have the appearance of squeezed sponge and are then transferred to the second tanning bath where they absorb the tanning solution with remarkable speed.

MISS LINTON BACK Birmingham girl scouts and their friends are glad to welcome back to headquarters our efficient director, Miss Thelma Linton. She says she has enjoyed her vacation at Camp Juliette Low, Cloudland, and returns to her post with renewed energy and wonderful plans for the coming year's work.

TREES IMMORTALIZED Poem By Edwin Markham Reproduced For Scouts The following poem, entitled "A Song to a Tree," was written by Edwin Markham, and is reproduced herewith for the edification of all true scouts: "Give me the dance of your boughs, 0, tree. Whenever the wild wind blows; And when the gone, give me Your beautiful repose." "How easily your greatness swings, To meet the changing hours; too, would mount up on your wings, And rest upon your bowers. And rest upon, your powers. "I seek your grace, mighty tree, And shall seek many a day, Till I more worthily shall be Your comrade on the way. TRIBUTE TO DIRECTOR Scout of Troop 6 Writes Poem To Miss Linton If proof were needed that Birmingham scouts have been missing their director, Miss Thelma Linton during the time she was away at Camp Juliette Low, it can be found in the following poem by one of her most ardent admirers: if the president came to town With shouts and yells we'd meet 'im.

And we would get a big brass band, And we'd, all go greet Of course the Scouts in Fairfield Would go to see the president, too, But we'd rather have, Miss Linton, Dear, a visitor like you, You're neither king nor president, And p'r'aps your blood's not blue. But you have the good red blood of 8 scout, And we are all scouts, too. So, presidents and kings may come, And the Prince of Wales, too, But you're a scout, so We'd rather have a visitor like you." JULIA YENNI, Troop No. 6. Fairfield.

JORDAN MOVES TO LARGER QUARTERS: Heavy Demand For Oldsmobiles Makes Larger Quarters Necessary That the new Oldsmobile is filling a popular demand is best attested to by the fact that the Jordan Motor Company, now Oldsmobile distributors with branches in Birmingham and Bessemer, are moving to 213 South Twenty-First to get enough room to care for street, extraordinary heavy demand for these cars. The company will have ample showroom space with a light, alry shop, and the used car department will be in the L. which runs through to Avenue and is number 2108. Since the introduction of the new models at new low prices the place has been literally flooded with prospects and the result is that many orders are now on hand waiting for delivery, though heavy shipments have been made from the factory and orders will soon be taken care of. Orders that are placed now will be filled in a few days.

Packard Dealer Radio Enthusiast No matter where Earle C. Anthony, Los Angeles, travels he hears the nightly concerts of his own broadcasting station, KFI, located at Los Angeles. He is now making a trip to Europe to conduct a test osee if KFI can be received all over Europe clearly and well with American radio receiving sets. Mr. Anthony, who is the Pacific coast distributor of the Packard Motor Car Company, equipped the Pullman car in which he traveled from San Francisco to New York, en route to Europe with a radio aerial and entertained everyone on the train, as well as giving radio concerts at stations when the train stopped.

KFI is rated as one of the most powerful broadcasting stations in the world and Mr. Anthony believes he will have no more difficulty in hearing the Packard Six in their concerts eacn night while abroad than he would In Los Angeles.

DIRECTOR TELLS OF 2 WEEKS CAMP Wants To Put In Practice Things Learned At Juliette Low Dear Scouts: While I am collecting all sorts of materials for our Sunday scout page, I am going to write you just a few things that I believe will be of Interest to you, and some things that you can tell to mother and father to show them a that in being a scout you aren't being us a member of an organization that 18 just a fad, something that will soon 9 die away and not amount to anything, and something that is sponsored by. non-thinking people. These things are my views, resulting from my two weeks. at Camp Jullette Low, at Cloudland, At Jullette Low, I entered as a student, taking the director's thereby becoming a member of the Owl" patrol.

Some of the scouts there teased us by calling us "Wild Owls." If "Wild Owls are those that have just lots and lots of fun, their nickname was well founded, I you. Juliette Low is just one of the many, 10 or 12, I think, national girl scout training camps, where scouts and lead-ai. ers go every summer, to get whatever' training they feel thy need, and it belongs to Region No. 6, made up of the following states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Region" No.

5, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana, as yet has no regional training camp of its own, 50 the people wishing to go to such a die camp, go to Juliette Low. The periodont I was there, six of these states were represented, In my patrol, by leaders who had come there to study scouting at from the standpoint of the executive, mot many of them taking up such positions for the first time. And our. class periods, when we got our real instruc-15 tions, were called conferences, for wean met at some cool, shaded place down an in the woods, on the rocks or leaves, and had real conferences. These, of course, were led by Miss Hough, di-.

i rector of the camp, and our but the discussions of the various things, brought up were most ing and helpful. We soon began to feel that all of our work had practically, the same problems, and that each of had a very great deal to give to the others of the group. as to methods of handling certain situations, all sorts of valuable ideas, etc. 187 Here are one or two ideas that Inve brought back, and would like to know how you would like to try them out: What do you say about our finding ear some good civics instructor to help us and organizing a citizenship club? We can meet as often as we find the majority can come, and while we are there to we can have all sorts of fun being together, and learning together the things required for the citizen merit badge. We can take trips over the city to different places and things that, citizens, we need to know about.

It. may take a month or 80 to complete the badge and get ready for the actual test, but, dont you think it would lots more fun to do it along with scouts from other troops, and doing it as a club, where we can enjoy being together? Much more fun than just sitting down with a book and studying that test up each scout just for herself, don't you think? Let me know what you really, truly, do think about it, and if you like the idea, well It out. port How would you like to do the pioneer badge that same way? And the nature study badges? How would some of you older scouts an like to do some primitive camping at Camp Coleman next summer, during CA the regular camp period? By primi-40g tive camping, I mean going out in the see woods and really making your camp. building your own fire places, putting up your own tents, doing alloan your own cooking, etc. Of course, this will be near enough the main camp for you to use it as a supply station, where you can go to get your necessary provisions, water, etc.

But, don't you me think it would be just lots of fun? This kind of camping was included in the 5. pioneering class, which I took during AL the second week I was at Juliette Low. and found it most interesting. It may be that we can have this going on at the same time the other camp is, you see, having the other scouts who are me not working toward their pioneer badge live in the camp and carry out their regular schedule, as if we weren't there. And the primitive campers, having different schedule and program, they.

would carry out in their own little camp. Those are just a few of the things I got at Juliette, Low, and a few of my own day-dreams for you Birmingham scouts. By the way, I am going Monday 1 morning to a new camp that is beingt6 started in our region, a camp that is to be run by the Southern Order of Golden Eaglets, and as it is as yet. quite primitive, I am expecting to lect a great many ideas to be put Intor operation here in case enough of you are interested in the above-mentioned primitive camping idea. I'll write you, more about this camp, Camp Dismal, tor next Sunday, I hope that you have all had a did summer, and that the things you have learned menn as much to you a8.18 the things I've learned mean to me.

4. We'll have some dandy scouting done here this fall and winter if they have Come in to see me, MISS LINTON. Director.

The centuries passed and the changed.

First breeches and then ers came in, and the old one-piece gar-" ment disappeared. still kept its name however, but only applied it to the tight-fitting covering of the lower limbs and even this in time we took to calling by another name the stocking.

While officials decline to discuss the report that American financiers are becoming more and more interested in the backing of South American plantations, it is the understanding that agents of several capitalists have gone South to look over the situation. Turn To South America It is felt officially that the chief hope of the big rubber consumers of the United States lies in the financing of foreign plantations. South America, accorking to reports, offers the best prospects. American capitalists already have millions of dollars invested in South America which is having the effect not only of increasing the interchange of trade between the two continents but bringing about a better commercial relationship. Little progress has been made in the effort to discover a rubber producing plant which will grow in continental United States, although the project has been studied by the department of agriculture.

Some hope is held out for Philippine rubber plantations. Sales from the Brazilian rubber market are well above normal, the department of commerce learned. In May, the last available figures, total shipments of rubber were 2,629 metric tons, of which 1,868 tons came to the United States. May marked the first month since February. that the United States had taken more rubber from South America than Europe.

Shipments Increase Shipments for the first five months of the year showed an increase of about 25 per cent over last year, consignments to United States having increased 4.5 per cent and to Europe 48.7 per cent. "Price gains on the Brazilian market during May were so great, in spite of the unusually high levels ruling at the beginning of the month, that for some days sales were at prices larger in terms of Brazilian currency than any that have ruled since 1910," the department was informed. "In spite of the fact that operations of rubber gatherers have been extended steadily for some months the rapid price gains of May brought fresh enthusiasm and greater activity. "Estates that have lain abondoned for years are being brought into production daily. Advertisements have appeared in local newspapers for as many 88 100 rubber gatherers on a single plantation.

Each river steamer that sails up the Amazon from carries new men and quantities of supplies." HY EGGS ARE "POACHED" Our word "poach" is taken from a French word poche, which means pocket and the association lies in the Improvement Of Last Week Has Been Maintained This Week BY BYRON SELLER Special Correspondent The Birmingham News. 1925, by The Consolidated Press Association. NEW YORK, Aug. tne market as a whole, investment securitles have maintained during the week just closed the improvement of the week before. Trading has been very quiet, but there has, been no pressure to sell and a fairly good inquiry from financial institutions.

The backbone of the demand is from the insurance companies and the savIngs banks, who are careful buyers and never bid up prices on themselves. Still it may be said that no concern has been shown over the future of money rates such as was in evidence earlier in the summer. The feeling is that bond prices will remain reasonably steady even if there is a larger drain upon the money supply for commercial purposes. The news that might be expected to influence the market has related mostly to foreign affairs. Most important was the tentative agreement between France and Great Britain for the funding of the war debt of the former to the latter.

About this there were varying opinions, The first reaction was a better feelIng toward French securities manitested in the market for French dollar bonds. Later some doubts appeared and quotations fell off slightly. CAUSES HESITATIONS The fact that the generous treatment which Great Britain offered to France was contingent upon similar concessions by the United States, caused some hesitation. Probably the view of the majority was that the problem of the international war debts was at last in the way of being solved, and the way would be clear for new foreign financing in this country. It is the general understanding that once a satisfactory arrangement has been made with the United States on the debt queation, new loans for the accounts of the countries concerned will be asked of American investors.

The Washington authorittes, which have frowned on anything of this kind prior to the debt negotiations will, it is expected, be favorable and certainly the bankers are ready to extend the desired accommodation. Moreover a better market for foreign bonds as a class will pretty surely follow. New Loans Likely Now it cannot be denied that, with the burden of payment on account of international government obligations assumed, new funds must be secured, wand that the United States is the only place to find them. It may also be granted that the credit standing of our foreign debtors will be raised when they have agreed to discharge their obligations incurred during the war and just afterward. All these considerations, however, will.

not relieve the individual Investor from the involved. Agreement to pay is not the same thing as paying, and both France and Italy, to say nothing of Belgium, have a long way to go before they establish themselves upon a firm financial foundation. Interesting in this connection is the intimation from abroad that Germany must have additional accommodation If she is to meet the requirements of the Dawes plan. Both German municipalities and German industries are handicapped by current high money rates. Up to the present, relief has been found mostly in short term credits in London and New York.

Attempts will be made to substitute for this kind of accommodation long terms loans and with the bar still up against capital export from England, the only source left is America. To meet these demands will be good business, but here too, the American investor will have to protect himself. He will have to consider his resources and preserve a proper balance between the foreign and the domestic commitments if his own interests are to be best served. Opportunities Here Turning to the home field, the railways have been making a series of remarkably good earnings statements this week. Gratifying increases in gross income have been accompanied by still more pleasing additions to net.

There have been exceptions, but they have been due to causes which do not affect the Industry as a whole. A good deal of this improvement has been discounted in both the stock and bond market, but not all. Particularly is this true of the Junior bonds of roads which a few years ago were on the verge of financial difficulties. There has been striking recovery in New England, where high terminal costs and motor trucks competition are so great a handicap. The strides that the Southern roads have been making are.

matters of common knowledge. In the Northwest the outlook Is not SO clear but it is certainly no worse. That situation depends upon the result of the application for higher rates and upon what is done about the suggestion of the St. Paul receivers for a pooling of the increased earnings received from these higher rates. The other railroads are against the St.

Paul plan. What the Interstate commerce commission will do cannot be predicted, but intense interest is taken in the hearings scheduled for the eighth of next month.

Troop No. 35 Most of our troop went to Camp Coleman for the first week. All of the girls from our troop were in the same patrol. The first night during free-time, we had to get together and name our patrol, so we named it "The Pioneer Patrol." The other two patrols were named "The Pirates" and "The Indians." The week just flew by. At the end of the week our patrol was presented red ribbons for having the highest average in health record points.

And, best of all, Edith Wideman, of our troop, was given a girl scout ring for being honor scout that week. ELISA FRATODDI, Scribe. COUNTRY CONTAINS 207 SCOUT CAMPS Clark, Near Briarcliff Manor, New York, Held Best Of These In our own United States there are 207 girl scout camps. And this summer the girls have had a most wonderful time in every one of them. There are several which are quite different from the others, and these are the ones I am going to tell you about.

First. Camp Andree Clark, our national memorial camp, near Briareliff Manor, New York, Is where any girl scout more than 14 years of age and in sec. ond-class standing can go. It is the most nearly perfect of all our and people from all over the world come here to get ideas in' camping. It is laid out along woodsy trails, with patrol size groups all along, though out of sight of each other.

Each group has its own out-of-door stove. The girls do their own cooking, going each morning to get provisions at the camp's own store. "Innisfree" Is a part of Camp Andree. Just a patrol size group camp where three patrols at a time can spend a week. It has a lovely log cabin deep in the woods.

The girls are real campers, sleeping in the open fields, on straw ticks, which they have filled themselves, In tents put up by themselves and learning the art of the onepot lunch. Camp Bonnie Brae is in Massachusetts, is a beautiful and romantic camp. "Greenwood" is the place where the councillors live. "The Jungle' is for the girls from 10 to 12. "Tanglewood, for the girls whose ages run from 12 to 14.

The girls 14 and 15 live in "Camelot," and their court of honor meets around "King Arthur's Round Table." No two years are the same at Bonnie Brae, and each year wonderful surprises await the girls. Camp Natalie Kip, East Orange, N. is a splendidly run camp. Here, as in some other camps, each patrol has its own fire place on which to cook their meals. It seems there was a little girl about 10 years old who lived near the camp.

She had had infantile paralysis and had not been able to attend school or play with other children. Lonesome and shy, she one day appeared near one of the busy patrols. watching from a distance. The next meal she came back. They invited her to join them, she did, but said little- Just watched.

Next day she tried scrambling eggs for lunch. She even sat down at the table. but would not eat, because she said she was not paying. The girls insisted on dividing up and later asked the director to give May permission to eat with them. Of course, the director agreed, and the little girl had more fun than she had ever had in her life--now she is registered as a lone scout.

The Birmingham girl scouts were enabled to have their own Camp Coleman, through the beneficence of the Community Chest. Girl Of Sixteen Earns Own Living Elizabeth Farley is a 16-year-old girl, tall and athletic, with a square chin, blue eyes, and red hair. Now you know from that description that she will never be the kind of a girl who will sit on a cushion and sew a fine seam. She is a real honest-to-goodness farmer. When she was 14 her father gave her a fine Jersey cow and to show him that she was capable of making money and sticking to her business at her suggestion he stopped her allowance and waited to see how she could manage.

She sent to the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. and got every available bulletin of care of Jersey cows. She visited all nearby farms, talked to farmers and then cared for her cow and sold the milk at such profit that in one year her father was willing to buy another Jersey for her. Then a few months later she bought a third cow. Later, she added chickens to her farm and from the sale of eggs and milk, calves, and a pig which had been given her, made a yearly profit of $600.

No farmer's life is an easy one and neither was that of Elizabeth. She must rise at crack of dawn, no matter what the weather. She can't go to parties like other girls and very seldom does she see a movie. But she loves her animals and that is the secret of her success. She says, "I'm simply having my fun in another way -in the excitement of doing a big piece of work by myself and in the pleasure of earning my own living."
