The troop had planned a swimming
party but on account of the weather
they met at the Girl Scout Own. They
played games most of the time, the
last fifteen minutes were spent in Pa-
trol Corners deciding what they would
do at their next meeting. Plans made
were for a swimming party and picnic
for next Monday. The girls of the
Eagle and the Dragon Patrols are to
bring a pound of weiners each. The
girls of Silver Fox and Grey Wolf are
to bring a dozen buns each. They are
to meet at the Scout Hall at 4 o’clock
and check roll. Each girl will be as-
signed a buddy and the troop will
have one registered Life Guard and
three grown persons that can swim,
present. The Girl Scout ruling is to
have at least one grown person that
can swim to every eight girls. After
bathing we will have the weiner roast.

Youth’s Hard Time
The school class was writing pep,
portraits. One boy wrote this of hlB
comrade: “Although he is so good-
natured he has a hard time at home,
I know for a fact that he is made to
take a bath every Saturday night.”—

Fear of This and That
COME women are born worriers, al-
• ways full of apprehension. Think
of all the things you have dreaded and
feared. How many of them have real-
ly happened to you? Whether you are
twenty—fifty—or eighty—you have
probably spent a lot of energy wor-
rying about things that never hap-
pened. The energy wasted in appre-
hension would have accomplished
many worthwhile things! Fear, wor-
ry, and apprehension kept you from
doing or attempting many things you
would have liked to attempt, things
you would have enjoyed and which
would have made you a more versa-
tile and interesting personality. For
such emotions react -upon the nerves.
They diminish initiative and creative
ability. Why meet life like a child in
the dark, who fears there is a bear in
the dark recess of the hall, and a bug-
aboo in the closet? Build up your re-
sistance.by using your energy for exer-
cises which build and strengthen mus-
cles; by sleeping in well-aired bed-
rooms ; by keeping your house at a
reasonable, even temperature; by tak-
ing baths and rubbing the body brisk-
ly with a Turkish towel to remove all
clogging dead flakes of skin. You will
improve your circulation to an extent
which will increase your resistance
against taking colds.
Sensible diet and avoiding con-
stipation will increase your resist-
ance against colds and against
many other ills.
If you are always fearing this or
that disease, you are probably always
fearing this or that accident. If you
are, you are depleting your physical
health, and are depriving yourself of
so many pleasure and personal con-
tacts. Build up your health and tackle
some of the bugaboos. Do some of the
things you fear to do, and rid yourself
of such phobias.
Arm yourself with common sense
judgment as to precautions against
disease and the accidents of reckless-
ness, but don’t be a coward. Culti-
vate a valiant spirit. Then the beauty
treatments I prescribe will have a firm
foundation. For an uplifted spirit will
lift the face, without pain, danger or
expense! You all know the adage
“don’t trouble trouble until trouble
troubles you.” It is a wise saying—
that.
Be Natural and You Will Be
Lovely
T SEEMS to me that youth’s great-
A est assets are naturalness, the
health, the sparkle, glow and enthusi-
asm that are youth’s rightful heritage.
And youth’s stumbling blocks are self-
consciousness and overemphasis on
physical beauty.
Youth is impatient to grow up, to be a
definite personality, to make the world
aware of that personality. The longest
letters beauty editors receive are from
the sweet young things. The greatest
number of questions are asked by girls
of twenty and under and twelve is the
age at which they usually start. And
the greatest mutiny against the powers
that created them are voiced by these

This is station BLUEBONNET
broadcasting from the Girl Scout’s
Own. We are passing tests today. Har-
riet Kilgore passed signalling, and Na-
talie Bowers passed Thrift while sev-
eral worked on other tests. Miss Mar-
jorie Burton, Captain of Troop 2, in
Galveston, is visiting our troop dur-
ing the meeting today.
Until this time next week we bid you
good day. This program has been an-
nounced by Miss Natalie Bowers, Re-
porter.
too short, too much hip and too little
bust, hair too straight and too much
curve to the figure. These are only a
very, very few of the complaints.
Youth’s impatience. Young girls of
fourteen should not attempt to adopt
strenuous reducing regimes. Let na-
ture take its course. A little excess
fat for a few years won’t hurt, and
the gods may yet be good to you if
you bide your time.
People seeking advice on how to cul-
tivate a charming manner clearly in-
dicate over-anxiety and self-conscious-
ness. Be natural, be yourself, and
you will be lovely. Let common sense
guide you.
As for actual beauty aids, very
few are necessary. Scrupulous
cleanliness should be your creed.
The health rules should be relig-
iously observed.
A cleansing cream and good skin
tonic and a little nourishing cream
make a splendid group of facial prepa-
rations for the young girl of sixteen
or so. A very good powder can grace
her dressing table—but it should be
very lightly applied. A good hair
brush is a necessity, quite as much as
the tooth brush. Beyond that, with
the possible exception of the personal
daintiness effects such as a deodorant,
bath salts, body powder, and mani-
curing articles, nothing is necessary.
And speaking of manicures, too—
pointed nails and too brightly painted
are all out of place on a sixteen-year-
old hand.
Youth—natural lovely youth—eyes,
clear and sparkling, skin glowing, body
vibrant with health, is something we
all try to cling to when it starts slip-
ping. Cultivate a love of life and
health. For fine living and fine think-
ing, interest and enthusiasm will give
you more beauty and more lasting
beauty than all the cosmetics in the
world. Don’t be impatient to grow up
and make-up. Enjoy the bubbling
beauty that is the very essence of
youth.

Man With Vision
Initiative is the middle name of the
up-and-at-'em fellow who believes
there is always a better way to do
something, a better product to be
made, a better job to be had. He
holds no sacred belief in things as
they are, but wants something bigger
and better.— Grit
