 9. A scout is thrifty; that Is. he saves every penny he can, and puts 1t into the bank, so that he may have money to keep himself when out of work, and thus not make himself a burden to others; or that he may have money to give away to others when they need 1t.
 SCOUT LAW
 Scouts, all the world over, have un- written laws which bind them just as much as if they had been printed in black and white.
 They come down to us from all times.
 The Japanese have their Bushido, or laws of the old Samurai warriors, just as we have chivalry or rules of the knights of the Middle Ages The Red Indians in America have their laws of honor; the Zulus, the natives of India, the European nations-all have their ancient codes
 The following are the rules which apply to Boy Scouts: and which you swear to obey when you take your oath as Scout, so it is as we'll that you should know all about them:
 The Scouts motto is: Be Prepar- ed, which means that you are al ways to be in state of readiness in mind and body to do your duty.
 Be prepared in mind by having dis ciplined yourself to be obedient to every order, and also by having thou ght out beforehand any accident or situation that might occur, so that you know the right thing to do at the right moment, and are willing to do it.
 TIE SCoUTs' OATH
 Before he becomes a scout a boy must take the scouts oath, thus:
 "1 give my word of honor that will do my best
 l. To do my duty to God and my country.
 ?. To help other people at all times.
 3. To obey the Scout Law
 When taking this oath the scout will stand, holding his right hand raised level with his shoulder, palm to the front, thumb resting on the nail of the little finger, and the other three fingers upright, pointing up- ward:
 This is the scouts salute and secret sign:
 When the hand is raised shoulder high it is called "The Half Salute"
 When raised to the forehead it is the Full Salute"
 SCoUT's SALUTE AND SECRET SIGN
 The three fingers held up (1ike the three points of the scouts badge) re- minds him of his three promises in the scouts oath.
 I. Honor God and the country.
 ,. Held others.
 ,. Obey the Scout Law.
 When scout meets another for the first time in the day, whether he Is comrade or stanger, he salutes with the secret sign in the half salute.
 He always salutes an ofiicer-that is patrol leader, or a scoutmaster, or any commissioned officer of the national forces, army and navy-with the full salute. Also the hoisting of the Stars and i Stripes, the c0lors of regiment, the playing Of the National Anthem, and any funeral. II a stranger makes the scouts sign to you. you should acknowledge 1t al once by making the sign back l "a him. and then shake hands with
