What The BOY SCOUTS DO and
LEARN.

The Boy Scouts will learn, if they fol-
low the general program laid out for them,
and il they have an efficient ScOutmasteT,
any and all Of the following things:
| Scoutcraft-rhe Manual reads: ITO be
a scout means to be prepared to do the
| right things at the right moment, 10 mat
| ter what the consequences may be-"
WOodcraft- hich enables the Scout
to find his way no matter where he is;
teaches him the various kinds Of wild
| fruit roots, nuts, etc, teaches him careful
observation, etc.
Campcraft of all kinds-lncluding tent.
ing, cooking, boating, swimming, track
ing, signaling, etc. A so health and en-
durance, chivalry, first aid and life-sav-
ing, games and athletics patriotism and
citizenship.
Meetings should be, if possible, once a
week. The main difficulty is in getting
a good Scout master 1t must be some
one reliable, responsible, and whom the
boys will respect.
In general, / believe this organization,
as it stands today, to be q splendid and
unique boys opportunity. The especially
good points are the military discipline,
with peace intent; the dignity of the or
gaulIdtluAi tu6 su lhiclou "a tiiS boyS
and their interests by a Scoutmaster who
is himself accountable to superior officers;
the intelligence appropriation and intelli
gent use OF a boys surplus energy; the
practical knowledge taught and acquired,
and the allied, mental, physical and mo-
raj training The secret signs, pass
words, etc, are also good. They supply
a certain need, and take the place of the
often dangerous secrecies maintained by
small gangs and companies of boys.
In a word, here is an opportunity, an
employment, an education suited, almost
exactly suited, to boys needs, and to
Just those needs that home and boys
mother cannot possibly supply.

lnhnman Parents Jailed.

James c. Smothers and his wife,
Maria, colored. were convicted in
the quarter sessions court in Philadel
phia on three bills of Indictment ac-
cusing them of aggravated assault and
battery on fve-year-old Jacob Smoth-
ers, son of the man and stepson OF
the woman
The couple were sentenced to the
eastern penitentiary by Judge Ralston
for not less than six years nor more
than nine years.
Neighbors gave testimony against
the couple and little Jacob was pre-
sented to the jury, and his bruised
and battered body was mute evidence
OF the cruelties inflicted upon him.
His throat showed wounds caused by
rats attacking him in the cellar of the
house at 1925 Mercy street; his left
arm had been fractured and had never
received surgical care; his back was
a mass of scars caused by red-hot
poker being placed against the flesh
By the stepmother, it was declared,
and other parts Of his body and race
were covered with bruises.

parrow iced: 70 Re Retrlea.

Clarence s. Darrow, the Chicago
lawyer, found not guilty on the charge
of having bribed a prospective juror
Ia the Mcnamara case in Los Angeles
must stand trial on a second indict
ment, according to an announcement
made by District Attorney Freder.cks
Immediately after the acquittal.
DaTrow was apparently unconcerned
over the statement of the prosecutor.
He was deluged with kilograms from
all parts of the country, which began
pouring in within an hour after the
verdict had been given.
The court room scene which fol-
lowed the reading of the verdict. just
thirty-four minutes after the jury had
retired, was one that had no parallel in
Los Angeles. Jurors embraced the ac-
quilted man, and, with tears stream
ing down their cheeks, declared 1t was
the happiest day of their lives. Court
officials, including Judge Hutton and
the half dozen bailiffs, joined in the
congratulations, and Mrs. Darrow, to
whom the trial was a continuous nerv-
Gus strain, stood speechlessly happy,
with one hand in her husbands and
the other wringing those of the jurors.

Five months ago his skin was talr

strange transformation.
When Hendricks was taken to the
