SAND IN SEWERS.

A recent inspection Of the sewers in
Milford has revealed q condition in
several Of the large pipes, which will
cause considerable expense to remedy.
The great storm OF August washed
tons OF sand down from the unim proved
streets, and the flood Of water carried
the loose sand into the sewers in
several places to a depth which fills
the pipes nearly half full with silt.
To get this out ropes and chains will
be drawn through the sewers affected
from the nearest manholes. and water
be flushed through the sewer at the
lame time, until the sand is dislOdged
md washed away. This means lot
VI tedious work and considerable ex.
'ense, whish will have to be done be-
ore the winter commences.

scout MOVEMENT
TO Be PUSHED
The Leaders Of the Boy Scouts Of
America Plan to Send out Trav-
cling Secretaries to Help.

New York, July 1S.-The Executive
committee of the Boy Scouts Of Amer
lea is planning to put five
travelling secretaries in this
field this fall. These men,
who have shown ability in form
ing local councils of the scout organi-
cation and skill in handling boys will
be distributed throughout the country.
Their work will compromise super
vision Of the local organizations and
scout activities and also the extension
of the scout movement.
They will visit different cities and
towns studying the scout councils and
the work of the boys. They will help
in the up-building of the local Council
and in strengthening it In the com
munity by bringing in men of different
religious faiths. They will study the
methods of the Scout Masters and
give them Instructions and suggest
ions, where necessary. They will take
special interest in the boys themselv
es outlining scout stunts for them and
giving them some helpful talks. They
will be the representatives of the Ma
tional Council in the field and will be

supposed to exercise ccrrestive meas
ures where untoward influences seem
to be injuring the Scout movement.
The appointment of these Ave sec
retaries undoubtedly will give add
tional impetus to the Scout move
ment. In the last year and half the
organization of patrols and troops
throughout the country has gone on
so rapidly that no more than a formal
supervision of them by the National
Headquarters has been possible. The
requests Of boys to become scouts, ap.
plications for information regarding
the Scout work and the appointment
OF Scout Masters kept the staff in the
headquarters busy up to January l..
In addition the great growth of the Or
ganization demanded many things. At
the same time that James e. West be-
came Executive Secretary, the Board
realized the necessity Of a new man
ual, new scout activities, new badges,
National Court of Honor to award
badges for heroic deeds and activi-
ties. The scout movement, as worked
out in England had to be American
lied. All these things have been &C
complished.
The members of the Executive
board and Of the Editorial board and
Secretary West held many meetings
working out plans and supervising
the manual. Many writer's have
been busy on the manual The staff
of the National Headquarters was en-
larged and by strenuous work many
important details were settled by the
leaders Of the movement The ex-
ecutive work Of the organization is
thoroughly systematized. The next
step is the thorough supervision of
the local councils and the scout activ-
tiles. Travelling Secretaries will be
necessary.
The task will require the expendi-
ture Of twenty-five thousand dollars
in one year. The money for the main
tenance of the National Headquarters
thus far has been advanced by philan-
thropists who believe in the great
good that can be accomplished for the
boy through scout activities. For the
work In the field it is hoped to raise
money from other sources. The cam.
paign will be carried on by Finance
Committee of wealthy men, every one
of whom has promised his personal at.
tention to the work
Among the members of the com
mittee are: John Sherman Hoyt, chair
man; Mortimer L. Schiff, banker; D
Everett Massey, August Belmont, Geo
D. Pratt, Charles D. Stickney, Jay
