Dis GROWTH
Of BOY
SCOUTS
Nearly Five Thousand Mas
ter Scouts in This Country
Already.
POPULARITY SHOWN
In EIGHT MONTHS

New York, N Y, July 29.-The Boy
Scouts of America have tripled in the
last eight months. There are now $500
Scout Masters registered with the ma
tionaI organization. On January l there
were only 400. These facts alone
show that there are three times as
many troops of scouts under the direc-
ton Of the leaders of the Boy Scouts
of America as there were In the be-
ginning of the year. While it Is hard
to figure on the number of boys, yet
it is quite probable that the Boy
Scouts alone number three times as
many as the beginning of the year.
Reasons For Growth.
This remarkable growth is due to
many reasons. First, boys in every
village, town and city throughout the
country, have read of the principles
of the scout movement and have ap
preciated how much more fun they
can have under a good trainer or
scout master who takes them into the
woods and teaches them various use
full things for play and work. Sec
ondly, many young men. learning of
the principles of the scout movement
have become enthusiastic workers
and have made efforts to organize
woods and fond of the activities out
lined in the scout manual Thirdly,
the general interest in the scout
organization has spready over the
country gradually and persistently in
the last year and a half, and there are
more Boy Scouts in America today than
there are in any country in the world.
Manual Attracts.
Since the meeting of the National
council at the white house early in
February, greater interest has been
aroused in the movement because
new badges have been turned out for
the boys a new manual has been Is
sued and many things have been done
to appeal directly to the American
boys.
Business and professioel men also
have taken increased interest in the
in various cities and towns to super
wise the scout activities in their local
tiles The scout organization has be-
come so strong in several cities that
secretaries have been employed to
handle the great amount OF detail.
Growth Lasting.
The leaders of the Boy Scouts re-
gard this growth not as temporal but
as due to the inherent strength and
appeal of the scout principles. They
feel sure that the organization which
has been approved by the members of
different religions and different or
CARNATIONS dealing with boys work
is q thoroughly permanent institution
in the life of the country

FABENS BRIDGE Is
FOUND TO BE SAFE
County Surveyor Eubank
Places Rocks to Protect
Structure.

County surveyor J. w. Eubank re-
turned from Fabens Saturday morning
and reports that the Fabens bridge is
in no immediate danger and that unless
the water should take a very heavy
rise there is nothing to be dreaded
Mr.. Eubank reports that he had
put teams to work placing rock around
the piles merely as a matter of precau-
ton and to prevent further settling.
The bridge settled slightly on the
side, but not to a noticeable depth"
said Mr.. Eubank. This was more in
the nature of settling Of the piles
into the soft dirt, than Of the bridge
sinking, because we tested it in every
way and found 1t is as solid as can be.
A man on a galloping horse was sent

iSESSI0N
WILL BEGIN
MONDAY
Purpose Is to Pass the. Left
Over Appropriation and
Redistrictaing Bills.
PROBLEMS OF TAXES
PUZZLES COLQUITT

Austin, Texas, July 29.-The Texas
legislature will convene in special ses-
sion Monday morning In view of the
recent close prohibition contest the
session is creating unusual interest
over the state, although It Is probable
no matters in connection with that
election will be submitted by the gov
ernor.
The primary purpose for which the
legislature is being convened is to pass
the appropriation bill. This was not
done at the regular session. owing to
differences which arose between Gov
Colcuitt and the majority in control of
the legislature. Another matter likely
to be submitted is the congressional,
senatorial and legislative redistrict-
ing bill. This was up at the last ses-
sion, but did not pass, owing to opposi-
ton developing because 1t was charged
that the state was being gerry
handed" in such a manner as to retire
a number of anti-Bailey congressman.
CoIquitt's Tax Task.
Governor Colquitt faces the unpleas-
ant duty of having to increase the tax
rate at least three times. UEder Gov.
Campbell the rate was Fixed at four
cents. This, 1t is claimed, was made
possible because the s. 900, 900 fine col
lected from the Waters-Pierce. Oil COM
pany was used to pay the running ex-
penses of the government.
1t is estimated by the automatic tax
board that the rate Will have to be
fixed at IL cents to meet the expenses Of
the state government and keep 1t on a
cash basis. That this vast increase in
taxes is going to be hard to explain to
the business element of the state as
well as to the farmers, is admitted by
all.
Members Are Gathering.
Austin Is already filled with mem
bers Of the legislature and when the
body convenes Monday monrIng there
will be practically a full attendance.
There having been but one death and
no designations since the regular ses-
sion, the personnel remains the same
The indications are that II other mat
tiers than the appropriation bill and
the redistricting bill are submitted
that the body will not be able to con-
clude it's sessions within the so days
prescribed by law for a special session.
In that case it is probable that Gov
Colquitt will convene a second session.

power Of recovery Of the body after

organism rests after work in accord

Agadir Prominent.


The seaport town of Agadir, on the
western coast Of Morocco. was little
known of until the arrival Of a Ger
man warship which plunged all Eu-
rope into the fear of complications
and even gossip of possible war Now
Agadir has leaped into worldwide
notice.
The Sous region. extending far back
from Agadir. is rich in mineral and
agricultural wealth beyond the dreams
of engineers and offers new proof Of
the fact that Morocco is a country
teeming in natural resources. which
have only TO be skilfully worked TO
make It one of the wealthiest regions
in the world In the past the relations
of Europe with Agadir were important
In the sixteenth century the Portuguese
disembarked there and built fort
The Dutch initiated the Portuguese In
the eighteenth century and up to 1173
the Spaniards claimed the right to land
there and seek provisions An Eng
lish company established itself at Cape
JUDY. but was forced to leave by the
Sultan. England had. however. a vice
consul at Agadir up to the eighteenth
century. The bay Of Agadir is perhaps
the finest and most protected on the
Moroccan coast. and should Morocco
eventually be divided among the pow
ers would be a splendid naval base for
the lucky acquirer.
Need OF New Motors.
The lesson of the European circuit
aeroplane race is the necessity Of de-
veloping a better motor, according to
the opinion of experts. The delays

paratively rare. but motor trouble was
a frequent complaint.
The power in the motor is believed
to have been excessive. In this respect
the experts agree with the general con-
tention Of Wilbur Wright who recently
pleaded for a halt in the struggle TO
obtain great speed What Wright
wishes is that the rules OF speed races

CUT TEACHERS PAY.

Although the matter had been un der consideration by the schol trus- tees for more than a month and decided upon ten days since it was not of ficially announced to the teachers in the Douglas schools until yesterday afternoon that a cut in their salaries was contemplated for the next school year, that of 191l-12. This morning two of the trustees stated that the action was not sudden. had been ta- ken after q consideration of more than a month, and that although not previously announced it was actually decided upon at a meeting held on March II.
 Yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the Douglts school faculty II was announced that the trustees had found 1t necessary to order a cut in salaries. As the teacher5 are under contract for tLis year such cut can not go into effect until the close of the present school session

 Speaking of the proposed reduc. tions Superintendent Lutz stat>d this morning that the Dorslas schools had never been so e1onom. ically administered as this year.
