BOY SCOUTS BEARING WOUNDED coMRADB
ON A srRETCHER,
There are now more than $4,000 boy
scouts IN America. and the number is
constantly growing.
Ernest Thompson Seton, chairman OF
the executive council Of the Boy Scouts
| Of America. will also give several lee
lures during the course.
Rules For SNOWFALL Battles.
The scout manual provides for the
SNOWFALL battle game. and 1t is grim
business, this playing at war, First
one side must build Il fort-a snow fort.
Of course-and that means cod fingers
and frosted ears and noses unless head
work and quick action keep the blood
warm. The fort built and q supply OF
snowballs made by each side. the bat
tie begins.
OF course one troop defends the fort
and the other tries to capture 1t. A
scout hit Oh the arm or leg by a snow
ball Is wounded and after that he
can use only one hand to make and
throw the missiles To be "killed' the
scout must he struck on the body OF
head. Then he must 60 to the rear and
remain inactive until the battle Is over
If the attacking side gains entrance
to the fort 1t is victorious. but If all the
advancing party are wounded OF
killed by the defenders before they
reach the breastworks the party inside
| is the victor.

II teaches the boy loyalty to parents,

GETTING READY FOR
THE SPENCER TRIAL.
Accused Visited by Prominent AIienist
Date Not Set for Trial.

Bertram G. Spencer of Lebanon, who
is at the York street jail Springfield.
awaiting trial for murder, was visited
Wednesday by DR.. J. W. Courtney of
Boston, one of the best known alienists
of the state. who examined the pris-
oner in behalf of the defense. DR..
Courtney spent about an hour with
Spencer. He is the first alienist to sec
Spencer for the defense since he was
taken to the Hampden county jail. al :
though there were examinations when
he was at the Bridgewater hospital for
the insane. 1t is expected that the
observation period which Spencer
passed at Bridgewater will figure large
ly in. the evidence at the trial, perha ps
both sides drawing from it if anything
helpful can be found. Tt is certain
that there will be an abundance of ex-
pert alienist testimony on both sides.
Spencer recently had a visit from his
wife. She went to Springfield on Sat
urday and spent two hours with him
at the jail. Their conversation had to
take place within the hearing of the
jail attendants and it is said that it
importance Mrs Spencer is not liv-
ing in Springfield at present. She is
making her home outside the state. and
her address is being kept from the
public and the newspa pers.
The date of the trial has not yet been
set. Mr. StapIeton expects that it will
take place late in the fall at a special
sitting
