Is there a boy or girl in the
United states who has never seen
an elephant 1t certainly doesn't
seem possible, for circus with
out an elephant would be like cake
without frosting.
The next time you clap your
eyes on an elephant watch his
trunk. OF course you have seen
the trunks of elephants before
but you really never knew what
this elephants funny nose may
be used for.
The trunk is about eight feet
long, and has more than 10000
muscles. So you see, Mr.. Elephant
can do about 10000 Different
things with 1t.
Strong? Whewi
! For instance. The elephant
can coil his trunk around a big
tree, and with one snort and a
pull, can yank 1t up by its roots.
At the same time his trunk has
such a delicate sense of touch
that the elephant uses 1t just as
Iyou use your hand or finger. He

der your feet and keep yourself
balanced on the rear leg till the
advanced foot is sure of tho
ground you are about to step on.
Practice these things out slow
ly at first-the straight foot, the
bent knee and the weight on the
rear foot.
A real "woodsman's walk" is
light, swift and silent.

you will be ready to take up the

can pick up from the ground the
smallest possible object, such as
a pin, or twist his trunk about a
human being or animal and crush
1t to death.
AL his food is picked up by
the trunk and so carried to the
mouth. He drinks with the
trunk, sucking up water like a
rubber garden hose, then squirt
ing the water into his mouth.
Sometimes the elephant gets a
good deal of fun out of his trunk.
Filling it either with dust or wa
ter, he cdnningly picks out some
victim in front of him and empties
the contents upon new $40 suit
of clothes or a $50 spring hat.
Then Mr.. Elephant smiles, and if
he is in a good mood, looks about
for another victim.
The elephant has a long, mar
row stomach with a reservoir for
water large enough to hold sew
eral gallons. which he can draw
upon to squirt at visitors, especial

Boy Scouts! Can You Walk Lightly,
Swiftly, and Silently? Here's How
BY G. l.. Gilman.

There are lots of grown men
don't know how to walk.
l don't mean the flatfooted,
spread-toed waddle some men use
to take themselves from the office
chair to the elevator and from
the elevator to the street car, but
the good, honest swing which will
take chap 20 miles or more in a
day without leaving him more
than pleasantly tired.
A soldier may arrive on the
field in time for battle, or
minister may get to church in
time to deliver sermon, but
neither of them will be any good
il he arrives so tired and out of
breath that he is shaking all over
and half sick.
Put Feet Straight.
Walk with your feet straight
and get the full benefit of all your
muscles. If you find that the
step you are taking doesn't call
into play every muscle from those
in the arch of your foot up to
those in the small of your back,
you can be sure that something
is loafing on the job.
Remember, that in walking your
legs Will last longer than your
feet.
So save your feet all you can.
In the first place, see that they
are well dressed in shoes that
are neither too large nor too
small, and in wooden socks which
will take up the perspiration.
Above all, have your feet clean.
Walk Silently.
Scouts are expected to move
quietly as we'll as swiftly; in fact,
at show down, silence is often
better than speed.
The secret of silence in walking
is not to put the weight of your
body on the advanced foot until
you are sure of what is under it.
Thus you will be able to avoid
swapping twigS by either stepping
off of them or bending them down
slowly.
1t will take you some time TO
