Work Scouts Have Done.


John K. Berge, of Bristol, Tenn, re-
ports that the boys have done good
work in stopping forest fires. Rob
ert D. Bussley, Centralia, Kansas,
writes that his boys are fond of do
ing two things-namely, hunting pos
sums, and doing little turns for the
poor boys home. Frederick H. Bow
en-. of Springfield, ILL.,, is proud that
his boys daily carry flowers to the
sick in hospitals. j. Harold Bowen,
Putnam, Conn, has taught his boys to
help people cross streets. The scouts
under T. ]. Chip of Philadelphia, are
helping their mothers with the house
work. The tenderfeet of Henry S.
Douglas, New London, Conn, do not
accept tips for courtesies to strang-
ers. ]. Herbert Darcy, Sioux City, Ia,
stationed his boys on Halloween to
protect widows haystacks. The boys
under S. N. Foster, Lincoln, Nebr.,
wash dishes for their mothers.
RooseVelt's Interest in the Boys.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, whose
ideal of boyhood addressed to the
Boy Scouts of America recently re-
ceived so much public attention,
showed his interest again in the boys
in New Orleans. In an address ne
said: 81 think that the Boy Scout
movement is the greatest thing GO

THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

10y James ?. West, Executive Ser,
rotary Of the Boy Scouts of America
There are 100000 Boy Scouts in
America That means that there are
100000 good turns done daily by
American boys While the BOYS are
taught to get as much out of the
woods as did "Huck" Finn and Tom
Sawyer the idea of a daily service IS
impressed upon them. They are first
to be helpful to one another, courte-
GUS to strangers, and helpful to WON
en- and children.
Hundreds of scout masters have
sent to national headquarters reports
telling of the good turns the boys are
doing. Recently in Twenty-third street
a half blind old man was walking
along near where construction work
was being done. Pieces of lumber
were being carried out of the build
ing. Three youngsters. seeing the old
man making his way feebly along, and
fearing he might be hurt, rushed up
to him and helped him pass the dang
erous spot. When a lady asked them
if they were boy scouts they said,
Eyes, indeed, this is the third good
turn we have done today" Straighta-
way they made a third knot in their
neckties. William Archibald, of 53S
w 1920 Street, a scout master, says
that his youngsters have volunteered
to lead the blind boys to and from
the public schools.

Mlwaukee.-At a meeting here OF

application to the state supreme court

legislature. The association has asked
Attorney General Bancroft to bring
suit ON behalf of the state. which was

was. refused.
There will be two and probably
three suits brought by separate groups
of attorneys. The original PROPOSE
tion was to have all questions involved
included in one general bill which
would include number of suits in
yolving dincrent angles of the new
law.

came to feel that it would be better
for them to bring a separate suit.
At the close of the session it was
decided that the public utility associa-
tion should separate their interests
from those of the water power associa-
tion so far as bringing separate suit
was concerned. Ii was also under
stood that the Chippewa Valley Flee
trio Light and Power company will
also come in with another action.

Whatever the outcome, the two as

Gotch proved his superiority in the

The bout simply demonstrated that
Hack lacked the heart to stand up to

HArpIns AND WOMEN.

American efforts to regulate the
length of women's hatpins, in order
to lessen the danger tberefrom, are
the extreme of mildness when com
pared with the drastic measures
adopted by the railway administration
Of Saarbrucken, Germany. In this
country numerous municipal bodies
have discussed the hatpin question,
and a few have fixed upon a certain
number of inches as the length to
which women could lawfully go In the
wearing OF hat fasteners, says the
Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. So
far as known. hover ar, there has
never been an attempt to enforce such
an ordinance-probably for the rea-
son that American women are consid-
cred able to regulate such matters for
themselves. 1t remained for the afore-
said German railway administration
to prescribe a desperate remedy for
what seems 10 be regarded over there
as a desperate disease-if the follow
ing of fashion can be termed a dis
ease. The railway officials of Sear-
brucken have received their orders as
to how they must act when they are
confronted by woman wearing a
hatpin of the prohibited length. She
must be requested to remove IT, and
II she refuses to do SO she is to be
prevented from travelling by train and
told to leave the station. further re-
fusal to obey making her subject to
imposition of fine. Thus It is made
manifest that Germans are bold where
Americans are timorous.
