Good Words For Scouts.

Secretary C. Loring Brace at the re-
cent annual meeting of the New York
Children's Aid society in his report
said:
"The training Of the boy scouts in
manliness and honesty and helpfulness
is more needed by the tenement house
boys than others. Who will help us
organize them into a detachment of
the boy scouts? The older boys sent
by an east side mission organized
themselves into gang, whose ideals
were to disobey all regulations, gam
BILE and maltreat smaller boys. The
boy scout movement would interest
these east side boys and would bring
influences to bear upon them to meet
the evils Of street life"
At a recent meeting of the Ardmore
troop of Ardmore, Pa, owen Mahon,
soldier of fortune, scout and hero of
Mafeking, stirred up great enthusiasm
by relating some of his experiences
in the Boer war. After his address
he gave the boys instruction in the
rudiments of the Morse code and of
the scout system of signaling. An

Organized Boyhood.

The boy scout movement, says En-
nest Thompson Seton in an article in
Success Magazine describing this or
ganization, the American branch of
which was founded by him, is man
making organization, openly warning
on tobacco, alcohol, dirt, cowardice
and anarchy, and recognizing that en-
ergy must be diverted-never crushed.

It's Latest FORM 10 the Chic Croeheted
Motor Cap.
As a result Of the desire for a close
dressing of the head many of the new
hats are Of such style that they
might more properly be described as
caps. They are merely soft crowns
with a little brim rolling up all around
or perhaps a band of fur on the edge.
Some dispense with the brlm almost
pntirely, having nothing more than a
bit of satin or other material turned
up on the crown In front or at the
side to break the plainness of the line
surrounding the head.
Almost Identical with these fashion
able hats, so far as form is concerned,
nre the crocheted wool caps which are
now so popular for motoring and
will be used for all sorts of outdoor
sports during the wintry weather. Al

Scouts Are Nonsectarian.

The American boy scout movement
Is open to Jew and gentle alike. 1t
Is not in any sense a religious move
ment. 1t is not a movement that will
tolerate proselytizing in any form. 1t
is simply an ethical and character
building movement, its ethics being
founded upon the broad general prin-
siples to which all religions can sub
scribe and at which none can carp.
1t teaches the boy loyalty to parents,
employers and superiors, honesty to
himself and his fellows, teaches him
