objects OF attack. The new ordinance
provides that all twO-horse cabs, now
popular in Vienna, shall provide them
selves with taximeters.
The cabmen opposed the ordinance
on the ground that the use of taxi
meters would prove ruinOus to their
business, inasmuch as they would be
unable 10 maintain a high-grade vehi-
Gle and fine horses under the charges
provided in the measure. As the popu-
larity of these cabs has been largely
responsible for the slow Introduction
of the public automobile in Vienna, it
is believed that the ordinance will tend
to increase the use of the latter. In
fact. if the predictions OF the cabmen
and others we'll posted that have ap-
peared in the public press during the
last two weeks are we'll founded, the
Introduction of the taximeter is a
death blow to the two-horse cab in
Vienna. The situation seems worthy
of careful consideration by American
automobile manufacturers.

says that contracts let and engage
ments entered into with the Dominion

various Canadian railway companies,
indicate that at least 1000 miles OF new
railroads will be built during the next
five years. He summarizes the plans
as follows:
The construction for the present
year is 1900 miles. about the same as
last year The largest increase in
mileage viii be in British Columbit.

being reconstructed over the st. Law
renee. is part of this system. OF the
1.746 miles from Winnipeg to Prince
Rupert 915 miles are completed, and
trains are being operated between
Winnipeg and Edmonton. From Prince
Rupert the contract for 200 miles east
has been let, and the track is laid on

Want to Be Like Daniel Boone?
Good Stunts for Boy Scouts
BY G. l.. Gilman

"BE PREPARED" This is the
motto of the boy scouts of America.
It's right and fair that you fell
lows should know what scouting
means as well as what it is.
BE prepared" explains it.
Camping, signaling. tracking and
scouting are all good fun in them
selves, but we would have to set
them down as just play If they
didn't help a fellow to "be pre-
pared for real difficulties and
dangers, which are bound to come
to him.
In the days when Daniel Boone
walked the woods with his long
rifle, the hostile savages had a
mighty unpleasant custom Of steal
ing up behind white men ard cut
ting them down with tomahawk
or war club before they knew that
danger was near.
Boone's well-trained ears must
have saved him many times from
red foes.
Would your ears do as much
for you?
Could you slip through the
woods so quietly that an alert man
would not hear you before you
were close enough to touch him?
Here's a game which will prove
how good you are in this respect
and will help you. get good if you
are not.
Let each member of your patrol
take his turn standing blindfold-
ed in the woods while another
scout start LOO yards away to
steal upon him unheard. II the
blindfolded scout hears a sound he
may face in its direction and say
bang"
If he has faced right he has shot
the indian" who was stealing up
after his scalp and has won. II
he has faced wrong he has missed
his shot, but scared off the lin
dian" who can try again until he
is either shot or has taken the
scalp by stealing up unheard and
touching the blindfolded scout.
This is both @ test and training
in three important tricks OF wood
detecting sound, Heating
sound and moving without noise.
To make this test fair 1t should
be pulled off in a NOISY woods.
The blindfolded scout must Iemem-
Der the first scout law and not fire
unless he honestly hears a sound
from the approaching scout.
An admirable scout game Isl
played over big country" with
one scout hiding out" and the rest
hunting for him. The scouts in
the searching party can Locate the
one in hiding by following his trail
as we'll as by searching the coun-
try and posting some of their num-
Der to head him off from the goal.
The scout hiding out must be
clever at taking cover" in order
to skulk back to goal unseen. He
nsust also sun some TO make goal
without being tagged" il the
|searchers find him. The scouts
left to guard the goal should keep
100 yards from it IN order that
the scout hiding out shall have, a
fair chance to slip past them.

tween patrols Is always an inter-
testing stunt.
