MAKING NATURE PAY
Ada mand Eve used leaves from
trees for raiment, and at that they had
nothing on some modern people.
The people of Norway now have
taken a leaf from nature’s wide book
themselves. But they are not to wear
this leaf. They are going to improve
on the Garden of Eden. They are col
lecting moss, unraveling it, and knit
ting garments from this moss yarn
The Germans for some time are saidi
'to have been making cloth from the
bark of willow trees, but they reduce
this with chemicals to cloth.
People waging the war are doing
their best to make nature pay part of
the bill.
The seas have taken a mighty toll
of ships, but the seas are being made
to give up their treasures in return.
The whaling station near Aberdeen,
Wash., has been aiding in this work.;
For months whale meat has been;
shipped from this plant to various j
vparts of the land, and now the meat:
is being canned for wider distribution.
Thus is the human race getting evenj
for the indignities suffered by Jonah
and for the ships the sea has taken
into its depths.

MILITARY DRILL
FOR GIRL SCOUTS
Washington Girl Scouts are being!
trained in military drill. This inter
polation of the military idea into the*
scout movement at first sight appears
to be at variance with previous Concep
tions of the scout plan, w'hich since,
its inception has been opposed to mili-j
tarism in any of its phases. It is not.j
however, with the idea of preparing
its corps for military service that drill j
has been undertaken, but simply as a
measure of producing greater effi-:
ciency.
Military drill makes for instantane
ous obedience and response and ulti
mate efficiency, and these are essen
tials to the best team work demanded;
of the Girl Scouts of today. All play,
as play, has ceased in Girl Scout or-,
ganizations of the country, and efforts
are all being directed toward serious^
war work. “Woman’s work cut down
to girl size” is the way it has been
expressed. Out of the records which
the girls are making today will bej
built the homes of the future.
> The Girls’ Scout organization in i
Washington is already co-operating j
with the government in several of its
departments. It is linking up with;
the states relation service of the de-|
partment of agriculture in the Boys’
and Girls' club work of the latter;
with the food administration in the
preparation of, and giving instruction
in, war-emergency foods; in the bureau
of education in the matter of Ameri
canization of aliens; and with the de
partment of labor in assisting to bring
the jobless men and women to the
bureau of that department which seeks
to fit each man and each woman to
his or her right place in the national
service of today.

A KINGDOM FOR KAISER1
WILHELM
Explorer Stefansson has come for
ward at the right time with his an
nouncement of the discovery of new
islands in the Arctic regions.
These islands are away from all in
habited regions, and no nations will
put in a strong claim for them.
Therefore, why should not the kaiser
be given them?
If the peace convention after the
war decides that the kaiser should be!
given an empire of his own, like Elba'
given to Napoleon, the Arctic islands
will fit the bill. i
By way of explanation, let it be
added that this newspaper has nothing
but the kindliest feelings for the Es
kimo who live in that region. They
can move on to make room for the
kaiser.
