A list of "Don'ts' to emphasize care
fulness and teach Boy Scouts to avoid
accidents have been compiled by one
of the secretaries of national head
quarters. Some of them are as roll
lows:
Never cross the street without look
ing both ways for street Gays or We
hicles.
Never cross just behind street
Never get off a. car facing the rear.
Never run in front of a car.
Never fail on leaving car to look
out for vehicles. :.
Never touch a wire on the street; II

These rules are designed to train
BOYS to be more careful, more alert,
and more heedful of the safety of
others.

subjects Only class scouts. can
take the examination for merit badges,
and there are fifty-seven different sub
jects in which boy may obtain merit
badges.
1t is expected that the two weeks
camp which was being planned to
start on the 18th of this month, will
have TO be postponed, due to the fact
that we have not sufficient number
of scout masters to go with the scouts
on this occasion. some of the scout
leaders being temporarily out of the
city At present. it is expected that
the camp will take place just one
month later. namely: the last two
weeks in July.
There will be Boy Scout rally at
the Catholic Knights hall, corner
Chase and Baylen streets, on Friday
night of this week, commencing at
1880. Examinations will be held in the
tenderfoot class; besides examinations,
there will be an interesting program,
some short talks, stories and refresh
ments. All scouts are expected to be
present, and all boys who would like
to join the scouts, or who are inter
ested in knowing what the scout move
ment is, are invited to be present.

FACILITIES At
BAYv|EW PARK
FOR PLEASURE
ENLARGEMENT OF PAVILION, EN-
PLoYMENT OF CORPS OF SWIM
MING INSPECTORS AND EN-
PLoyMENT OF ADDITIONAL
FORCE ARE ANNOUNCED.

Several times recently it has been
stated that the bathing pavilion at
Bayview Park is now sufficiently en-
larged to twice its former capacity, but
as yet the nature of these engagements
has not been published. On the end
OF the building reserved for ladies there
We're added fourteen dressing rooms
and two toilets, one for the use of
those occupying the private dressing
rooms and one for those using the
public dressing room or merely visit
ing the pavilion. Thus the accommo-
2tion and comfort of all ladies' coming
10 the park is assured. A like extern
sion was made on the mems end of the
building, fifty new lockers and one
toilet toilet being installed With
other needed improvements the man
agement will be able to handle much
larger crowds than heretofore.
All members of the force which is
to have the park in charge for the
coming season are now on hand and
way possible. They will endeavor to
so manage the equipment at their dis
posal that the greatest amount. of rec
reation and benefit might be obtained
by all the citizens OF Pensacola for

has for the past two seasons served

The Playground Association was for
tunate enough to again obtain the SER
vices OF Miss Lucia Spencer. who will
have charge of the work with the la
dies and girls. Miss Spencer served In
this capacity last year and her eff
cient work did much to assure safety
and comfort to all ladies, girls and
children visiting Bayview. She is on
duty every day except Sunday and
Monday from 10 o'clock in the morn

Swimming Lessons.
Following out her same policy as
last year, Miss Spencer will give free
swimming instructions to ladies and
girls. The hours for this instruction
are: Tuesday and Thursday after
Moons. from until Z, and on Wednes-
day mornings there will be special
classes for ladies from 10 until 1850
o'clock 1t is hoped that many ladies
and children will take advantage of
this opportunity and learn to swim. for
swimming not only is a safeguard
especially valuable in Pensacola, but
IT is also one of the best forms OF out
door exercise known.

that Mr.. McCready, a teacher of the
Classical school, who has been scout

Pensacola desires to take this oppor-

Unsatisfactory Tariff Proposale,

Curious isn't it, how different in
terests view tariff legislation! The at
titude of some of the leading city
papers is almost grotesque. Here is
one of them; very properly recognize
ing the merit of maintaining tariff
on sugar tsomething not burdensome
to anyone), yet naively contends that
while reductions in manufactured
goods are sharp, on the other hand
duties on products of the farm
are handled very gingerly-to pla-
cate farming interests" Are they?
Efforts are being made to put both
sugar and wool on the free list; in
many other instances the rates are
cut square in two. Breeding and live
stock interests in the southwest pro-
test against unfair competition from

DIVINNG ROD IS
BACKED BY SCIENCE
The Seal of Approval Is Now Pat
Upon The Ancient
Superstition.

The divining rod, a twig which Il
.said to trembIe When held over sub
teranean waters or buried treasure
has been used through the ages b,
the credulous to locate wells or FIND
lost money.
Now the superstition is justified
by science.
Recently the German government
sent a Prussian official to Southwest
Africa to locate subterranean water
by means of this rod.
In Munich not long ago Kuringer,
the wizard" acting for the Water
Commissioners, located several breaks
In the water mains by the same
means.
Carl Roth, the celebrated inventor,
has been conducting some expert
ments with the rod, and says that he
must admit that there is some con-
nection between it and deep water.
Faith in the diving rod is as old
as human records.
Hosea denounces the Jews for their
faith in such heather ceremonies. He
says, "My people ask counsel and
their staff declareth it unto them"
Several different materials are
used for the diving rod. In Germany
the black or white thorn is used Both
Of these shrubs are descended from
the sacred thorn of India, and that
was sprung from the lightning, so
their prophets say.
This is the primitive way of ex-
pressing what German scientists now
admit-that the power of the rod has
In some way an electric origin.
The rod trembles when brought
over subterranean currents of water:
Just so the lightning SELECTS and
strikes the tall tree whose roots go
down into and are fed by the same
currents.
On the other hand, Prof. Barrett,
Of Dublin, claims that the rod pos
seeses no power except what It gains
from the one who holds it; that, un-
consciously or involuntarily he di-
rects it, for only "sensitives" are sue
cessful.
The German Emperor, when he ex-
pressed his faith in the rod, tried to
qualify as a sensitive" but found |
that he was not one Of the chosen.
Superstition expresses the same
idea by saying that only the seventh |
son Of a seventh son can use the rod
successfully.
The shape Of this rod is the letter
Y. Invert 1t and you have a crude |

That is what it is supposed to typify.

rods are dressed up like dolls; else

A Good Thing for British Industry

From historic Republican and Pro-
tectionists viewpoints the Woodrow
Wilson Tariff Is a measure destruc-
tive to American prosperity and home
industries and the real welfare OF
American labor. An interesting side
light is thrown upon 1t by the ac-
claim with which 1t is greeted by
the London press. Whether support
ing the old British "Free-Trade" pol
Icy or the newer preference" or

tive party. the London newspapers
agree that the Woodrow Wilson Tar

Inconsistency Of Underwood Bill.

We used to hear a great deal about
free raw materials. The Free-Trade-
ers always fell back on that. The
Republican Protectionists could no,
see 1t quite that way, for what the
manufacturers called raw materials
but to the farmer the animal is a
really highly finished product which
occupies two or three years of time
to finish.
But, in any event, we had the
phrase. But do the Democrats now
propose to live up to it? Not at all.
Here are some facts:
Oats are taxed in the Tariff,
but oatmeal is free.
Wheat is taxed in the new Tar
iff, but flour is free.
Why is the Tariff thus made? If
there Is duty on raw oats, why
not on oatmeal? Unless the object
is to have oats come from Canada
in the form. of oatmeal, so that the
Americans will not be compelled to
do their own manufacturing. DO they
want to put our oatmeal mills and
our flour mills out of business?
Thousands of bushels of Canadian
oats are now made into oatmeal in
American mills; some of it right
here in Cedar Rapids. But why buy
the oats In Canada to mill here, or
the wheat. if you have to pay a
duty on the oats or the wheat, while
the oatmeal and the flour could come
in duty free?
The Wilson-Underwood bill commits
the same inconsistency with regard
to other things. For instance, there
is duty of 10 per cent on sheep
imported, but the WOOL the mutton
and the spring lamb can all come
in free.
The duty on the raw product in
each case, we are told, is to PRO
tect" the farmer, but while it de-
stroys the miller and the packer in
this country, how can it Protect the
farmer, for the Canadian miller can
get his wheat and his oats free across
the line by simply grinding it first.
There is, therefore, no Protection
for the producers of the raw ma
terials, while it simply puts ten per
cent premium on having the milling
and the killing in Canada.
AS we have said before, it looks
like an effort to relieve the workmen
of America, whether in mills or pack
ing houses of the cruel necessity of
having work to do.
These are few things, but we
have not yet commenced the real
discussion of the new Tariff. neither
have the people yet commenced to fecl
