HPPY BIRTHDAY!, MarcbL 12, 1912, was§ a lucky day for America; on that day in Savannah, Ga., the.Girl Scout organizi- jtion -was f1ounded by Ju liette Low. MNarch 12, 1938. is.another luýckyday.«,We cati ail be grateful that, the .Girl Scouts are swinging into their second quarter- century with, ever-youthful, entbusiasm and a pro- gram of constructive good, times to brighten the eyes and gladden the hearts of girls everywhere. In its first twenty-five years. Girl Scouting bas 'proved itself -an integral and vital part of Amiericait life. Almost baîf àa million girls are, active in Scot ing today. More than two million girlsand women sinoe the.*movement began havebenefited b>' the opportunitMes it offers to live healthfully in the open a ir, explore the fascinating possibiities of 'arts, and crafts, taiçe bousewifely pride in their homemnaking. render worth-while service to their conimunit>' and make friends with girls of other laiids,.who are part of the World Association of' Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. Not long ago, as part of the policy of keepiîîg Girl Scouting always up to date, the Girl Scout,*. asked an impartial group of educators and sociolo)- gists to look at the organîzation and give their opinion of what it. -was doing. Like the rest of. usk to eighteen could enjoy tuller, nappier tîves.. Many more girls are waiting ta become Scouts w hen leaders and facilities are 'available. The Girl Scouts are celebrating their twenty-sixth birthdaN by offering' increased opportunities to the girls of, America. They deserve the. gûood wshes and. the active support'of ever>' citizen who believes ini build- ing a better future, for our democracy. WHICH THE BETTER WAY? In the past five or six years there bas been dinned perishcued1Iodaic i t VI AIl that is nou' changed. The New Deal invented charity, discovered the principle of "The Fatherhod of God and the brotherhood of man." But, after booeing us to such dizzy heights of spiritual exalta- tion, it is the essence of cruelty for the high priests to drop us with such a dulI thud by the announcement ffl&W,^tç PMeU tathe Socal:Security board had famiiy or. near relatives will be execttted or sent te concentration camps. That usually does the work. Is the Social Security board's "big stick" as 'applied to Oklahoma, of a different pattern than the OGPU? It flati>' serves notice that as far as the great humnani- tarians ini Washington. are concerned Oklahoma's' indigent old,«people, helpless de pendent cbildren and blind citizens nia> starve unléss orý until orders are, obeyed. If funds have been misappropriated,- if there bas been graft and thiever>' in social securit>' administra- tion in Oklahoma, the guilty. should be searched ont. prosecuted and punisbhed. 'But wbile due procese of law are being Éarried ont there sbould be no with- holding of assistance to unfortunates %vhom the gov- ernment has pledged itself to protect, as a means of preýssure. It macks too rnuch of the OGPU..

THE INESCAPABLE RESULT No better exanipie of the effect of radical legis- lation ini the interests of' workiîg 'people 'could be found than the. closing of the Allen-A hosier>' nuls at Kenosha, Wis., and the transfer of' the companv's actjvities ta its plant.at Bennington.

'Wisconsin' industry 'bas been badgered and be- deviIed for years by the LaFollettes, aid' and vaulig. who bave persiste.d and still persîst ini the belief that the way 'ta controi business. and mnake it and 14t% .workers prosperons is ta .stranigle 'it into, submission b>' excessive taxation and regulatory Iaws: that Iiot' oly hantiper but absolut.ely prevent it' f rom ýgoiig ahead along untes that experience bas proved ta be saîme, sensible and successful. The Allen-A-% concern noxv joins other industrial (rganizations in their trek out of Wisconsin.

Another suggestion cornes that it be relocated along the Atlantic 'coast, where Public money is always available for barbors for p!easure yachts. The editor of this Great Moral Pendulum took 'time off from the regular grind Friday to malce out bis income tax return, and (would you believe it?) the man was actually wbistling. Now, there is a dis- position, for you,!, We repeat that you miss a lot of good things if you donl't follow the writings of the Vox Poppers. Here is, a recent, wisecrack that is, entitled1 to first prize: Two men were arguing politics. Said one; "Where arie the 17,000,00 0 who voted for Landon?" "Work- ing their heads offto feed the 27,000,000 who voted for Roosevelt," came the quick repi>'. Big league stuif, eh ? Another V'ox' Popper cornesforwia.rd: with a pat1 definition of the communist emblei: 'The hanmnier knocks 'emn do%,n and the sickle'cuts 'em tmp."., \ot silice the kidnaping and murder of the Lind- bergh baby bhas a crime, so stirred the public as that 'of 16-year-old Theodore Danielson of Chicago, who last Thursdfay killed bis inother witb a kitchen knife. Thé thing just 'doesn't niake sense. The boy, an only child, hiad seeimingl>' shown no viciaus streak, bis moral relapses consisting of nýothing worse thanl ..'layinig hooky" from school, bis confession to which resulted in .the tragedy.1 Psychiatrists' have been un- able to accouiit for 'the sudden impuflse ta kilI. It nia>' lieé ini a t.oo high standard in scholarship and 'music set. by the ambitious mother, and a too, rigid disci- pline ini pressing their.attainment by, the boy, who was incapable of it. Indications are that the boy wifl he incarcerated for man>' years, if not for' bis entire life. But whatever bis punishment, bis suffering cati never equal that of bis father, bereft of both Nvife and son.
