People of the United States do not realize the tremendous growth that' has been experienced by the organiza- tion of the Camp Fire Girls of America, according to the statement of L. F. Scott, of New York city, director and secretary of the national organization, in his illustrated lecture on the "Camp Fire Movement in Modern Education," given yesterday afternoon in the Na- tural Science auditorium. There are now between 125,000 and 150,000 girls from 12 to 18 years of age enrolled in camps in ill parts of this country and Alaska, he said. In many places camp fires are being organized in connection with and auxilliary to the public schools. The work of the school is supplemented by this arrangement, and healthful out- of-doors experience is available during the summer vacation period, Mr. Scott stated. During the winter most of the work in connection with the camp .fire is done in the home, where the girl is expected to learn to prepare food in different manners, to prepare invalids' trays, and to do the home cooking for one month, if possible. Citizenship and Americanization work is car- ried on. Activities of'the camp fire are much broader in the summer. Girls who' stay at home are expected to assist in caring for the vegetable garden be-' longing to the organization. Those who go to camp are under the direc- tion of specially trained leaders, and they are,taught the art of living in the' open anti all the work that is neces- sary around a camp. -Special attention is given to first aid of all kinds. Suimmed up in their law is the entire program of the Camp Fire Girls. The law is to "seek beauty, give service, pursue knowledge, be trustworthy, hold on to health, glorify work, and be happy."- Two reels of pictures and several' slides were shown presenting the ac- tivities of the girls in camp and at home. FORMER MUSIC SCHOOL MAN GETS POSITION IN NEW YORK Russell Carter, who this spring re-; signed as head of the public school music department of the University School of Music, has aceepted the posi- tion of specialist in music, which has, recently been created by the New York state department of education. He will make his headquarters in Albany. Before coming to 'Michigan last year,, Mr. Carter had been a former director of the Albany community chorus and organizer of a church chorus. He had been in charge -of music at the South-, western State Normal school of Penn- sylvania; was superintendent of music in the Am sterdam schools for eight years; and has taught in summer ses- sions at the University of California, and New York State College forI Teachers. but the unyielding papa is the party to be blinded by it. Such, at least, is the opinion of Carlo Goldoni as expressed in his play, "A Curious Mishap," which the class in play production essayed last evening with no little success in Sarah Caswell 'Angell hall. Farcical sit ations are designed pri- marily for the eye, but a few words may give some idea of the plot which supplies them in this play. Philibert, an old Dutch aristocrat, obligingly sets out to 'facilitate the marriage of his young guest, De La Cotterie, a French lieutenant, to the daughter of a fellow citizen, Riceardo, never dreaming that it is his own daughter, Giannina, who has won the lieutenant's heart and whose romance he is weaving. -Rage Unbounded The supposed sweetheart is, of course, led on to believe that the de- sirable but impecunious young officer has chosen her, and the rage of her parsimonious father thereat is un-4 bounded. The climax is reached with Philibert's receipt of the inevitable letter from his daughter which tells all and shatters the old man's exalted opinion of himself as a matchmaker. 1 In spite of the fact that the develop-+ ment of the plot is obvious after the+ curtain has been up ten minutes, the author has cleverly sustained the delu-1 sion of the complacent old gentleman so as to keep the audience constantly hovering between laughter and a de- sire to apprise him of the true state oft affairs, thus sparing him the final blow. Leonard Plays Philibert The difficult part of old Philibert was taken by- A. C. Leonard who per- haps did the best all-round work of any of the cast. The audience did notE see a younger man speaking the words and mimicking the gestures of ant older man. Leonard pictured a kindly, self-satisfied old man without requir-1 ing any stretch of 'the imagination. There was a fine bit of suspense in hit contented toying with the letters which he supposed contained the con- firmation of the success of his plan but which, in reality, was to let loose the storms of a frustrated matchmaker. Edna B. Robert,as-Philibert's daugh- ter, has a voice df more tgan usual quality and her facial expressions, served her well as a coquette with a talent 'for intrigue. C. W. Dahlstrom was a handsome, love-lorn youth as De La Cotterie, whose many woes brought much sympathy. Deserves Young Man Juva Beeman is far too attractive a jeune fille to be so shabbily treated in the connivings, and deserves' a young man at her side when the curtain goes down. Her soliloquy at the opening of Act II was given a trifle too soon last night with the result that the audi- ence failed to catch quite all of it. Al- though G'eorge Hulbert as Riccardo did not come storming in until Act II, he lost no time in commanding atten- tion both for his expressive visage and ominous voice. Lucile Cobb and Marion Moses were a happy and qnuite satis- factory pair as servants of the lovers. Enunciation, Fine Perhaps the outstanding feature of the entire production was the beautiful enunciation of every member of the cast-a detail which, by its niglect, has brought the severest criticism of the modern stage. Credit for this as well as for the balance of the produc- tion must go to Prof. R. D. T. Hollister whose work has paid high tribute to the department of play production. The committees are to be commended for their work in costuming and stage setting. "A Curious Mishap" will be given a final performance this evening. It is excellent entertainment and well, merits a 'place of honor on the list of Sunkmer session entertainments. May it be continued as an annual event on the University calendar! external relations. The home and gardens of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Stevens at 1245 Ferdon road will be thrown open to members of the Cosmopolitan club and other, foreign students of the University from 2:30 to 4:30 o'clock Friday after- noon. At 5 o'clock Friday Mr. Julio Del; Toro of the Spanish department, will talk in Spanish, his subject being, "Cuba-Despues de la guerra entre Espana y los Estados Unidos." Special Night Friday A special program, which will un- doubtedly follow that of the All-Nation Jamboree of the regular term, will be arranged by the Cosmopolitan club at 8 o'clock Friday night in the Sarah Caswell Angelld1all. The numbers of the entertainment will be announced Thursday. Plans for a trip to Whitmore all day Saturday are being formulated. A bas- ket dinner, swimming, and boating will comprise the day's outing, details of which "are to be announced later. The committee of the Cosmopolitan club with Prof. J. C. Hildner, is work- ing out the plans for the weekend, which-is something new to the Summer session, DISABLED VETERANS' GET PAY INCREASE Disabled war veterans in training at the University of Michigan will be ac- corded the $20 .monthly raise provided for under recent legislation, according to The Stars and Stripes, a soldier publication. The increase is to start Aug. 1, and to be retroactive to July 1. There are 72 disabled men attending summer school, 65 of whom will be affected by the increase. The bill was passed in a closing ses- sion of Congress and provided that $20 per month be added to the pay of men who were in districts where the "cdst of living is above the average and com- paratively high." The wording of the measure made it necessary for a gen- eral survey, which has been carried through by the Federal Board for Vo- cational Rehabilitation in record time. Ann Arbor is listed as a rival to New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, and all other large cities, in living costs. Other Michigan cities adjudged in the same class are Grand Rapids, Muskegon, and Port Huron. - All wards of the Federal Board are requested to meet at 301 University hall, Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock, to draw up a corrstitution for an organ- ization. 1 I OUIJA BOARD HAS LITTLE FORESIGHT -DOUGLAS.. The one great trouble with the "Ouija Board," said the Rev. Lloyd Douglas of the Congregational church, in his message at the Union open air service last Sunday, "is that it's hind- sight is so much better than its fore-1 sight." The speaker said that he was neither prejudiced for nor against the prac- tice of the "board" but that he pre- ferred to put his faith in something that was more substantial than that practice. He gave as the reasons for the widespread interest in the prac- tice, the fact that the bereavement of the late war had .caused so many un- fortunates to 'seek word from thosel who are in the other world. "The one message that they are always sure to get," continued the speaker, "is that the dead are happy in their new abode, but they always fail to say what ,the source of their happiness might' be." "In seeking happiness and content- ment it would be far better to study some of the teachings of the Great Teacher, rather than trust to the fore- telling of events by the Ouija board." SISLER'S BATTING AVERAGE GOES UP IN RECENT GAMES In the last three games George Sis- ler, '19E, of the St. Louis Americans, has been hitting a stride, which will bring his average within a few points of Speaker, who is leading the Ameri- can league in batting. Yesterday the St. Louis first base- man got three hits out of five times up and scored three runs. Monday he clouted out three hits in five trips. to the plate, 'and Sunday he found the opposing pitcher, for two, hits in five attempts. SANCHEZ KEEPS UP WINNING STREAK Sanchez and Greenwood were the only competitors in the, singles that played off their matches. yesterday. Sanchez outclassed his opponent, in this one, winning 6-3, 7-5. Merkel and Anderson, Burby and Beddow, and White vs. the winner of the Creedon- Bowers match, are due to play their games the early part of this week. Custer and Stull are the only ones who have emerged safely to the final column, in the double matches. Bow- ers and Sanchez will play the winners of the Hess and Sargent vs. Green- wood and Harris match. The winners of this match will play the winners of the Stoddard and Burley vs. the Dryer and Merkel scrap, the victors of which will scrap it out with Custer and Stull who are bound to get a chance at the championship. Carved Tables -of Orient In Union Three table tops of the early days of the Orient, which were purchased some time ago by the Union, have been placed on the ceiling of the tap room. They are of early vintage, containing the records of Michigan's wonderful unbeaten football teams in 1903, 1904, 1905, and many names and initials of alumni of those days. It was during the S. A.. T. C. period that the tables were secured from the Orient, as Homer Heath in buying a bar and show case at that time asked that the tables be thrown in. The former proprietor of the Orient granted the request, and since that time the tables had been stored in the old Union, until it was tli6ggmt that they should be placed on the walls of the new building.
