HfN. SCOUT CLASS: -.
MAY Be CREATED.
Graduate Degree Proposed to
Rank lust Above, First Class
:. Boys. -.

In .addition to the grades Of scouts
already existing. the national commit
tee on badges, awards and scout re-
uuirements has recently taken up the
idea OF creating a new class. to be
known as graduate scouts and has
appointed a subcommittee to work out
proper requirements for such a class.
II will probably rank just above the
first class grade and to enter 1t one
must possess an unusually wide knowl-
edge of scoutcraft:
At its last meeting this committee
agreed to eliminate the American
Morse ..and Myer codes from the sig
mailing tests, so that hereafter all
scouts who pass the first or second
class examinations viii be required to
know the Continental code, which is
composed entirely Of dots and dashes
and has no spaced letters.
This change was made because all
of the, Government telegraphers and
all international wireless stations use
the Continental code, and the use Of
two codes has resulted in no little
confusion.
Three tentative sets OF questions for
the three existing classes Of scouts
have been prepared by the committee
and win be sent to scout officials and
scoutmasters all over the country to get
their various opinions. In this way
the committee will be able to get
practical expression of opinion and
can then proceed to draw up the re-
ouirements for the various examina-
tons according to a standard FORM
This question Of Standardization is one
which is Just now receiving a great
deal of attention from Washington
scoutmasters and they will have some
valuable suggestions to make to the
national committee.

Scoutmasters' Club
Elects Its Officers

Members of the reorganized Scoutmas-
ters' Club held their first election in the
District building last Tuesday night,
aud the new officers are Vernon Bailey,
president; w. J.. Brown, vice president,
and II. /. Bowies, secretary treasurer.
An Informal discussion of the ideal
tendeTfo0t examination too!z up a great
deal of time, and it was generally agreed
thatsft would be mistake to make the
examinations so easy that the average
boy could pass them without ally preyi-
ous study. Merit badge examinations
were also discussed at length, and Com
missioner Martin said that there are
now 80 merit badge applications on file
awaiting the action of the new merit
badge faculty, which is about ready to
begin work. ,..a--. -. --sl.z-.i

Wedged in Sewer Pipe

E.. E. w. Arthur, busy scoutmaster. of
Pittsburgh, on his way to his office
last week, discovered a dog wedged in
sewer. He telephoned to Robert Alt
houser and Elmer Kiehl. members of
the Fox patrol of his troop, and they
went to the rescue.
After careful inspection of the situ-
alton, the boys took UP several feet of
sidewalk, dug through six feet OF clay,
broke d section of sewer pipe, and set
the dog free Then they put in a new
section of pipe, refilled the hole, and
repaired the sidewalk. All of which
shows they were good scouts, and Well
versed in at least two articles of the
scout law.

Commissary Unsanitary.
Recalling the Spanish-American war
and its confusion on the American side,
serious charges are made against the
war department of utter incapacity in
dealing with the commissary and sani-

casualties from disease alone in a wa
of a week in which not a shot was
fired, has been 5000 from cholera alone,
many hundred from typhoid and no
small number from dysentery, what
would have been the deathtoll had Bull

No Food for Three Days.
1t develops that the army of occu-
patton was three days without food af-
ter crossing the Danube into Bulgaria.
The commissary department broke
down completely. The three days ra-
tions the troops carried with them
turned out to be spoiled, wormy, and
unfit for consumption. The hungry
soldiers stormed the orchards and ate
unripe fruit. Dysentery and other in
testinal troubles put a large portion of
the army out of business. Not expect !

sanitary proposition at all, but out of
pure curiosity host of Pittsburg folk
visited the chamber of commerce today
and gazed in awe upon cake of com
mon yellow soap-the soft, gooey kind
valued at $4,000. 1t isn't a big cake,
considering the value placed upon it.
1t might serve a thrifty family one
year or an ambitious Chinese laundry
a month. The cake of soap has been
carved, gouged and scraped to present
a very accurate birds eye relief or the

poses and shows everything but the
