Does Publicity Cure?

The theory that ventilating
any evil, however repulsive, is
the only cure and that it is not
only the province of the news
papers and magazines to give
publicity to social evils but their
plain duty, is contended for by
some very eminent men and wo-
men and combatted by what
would seem to be a greater num-
Der of those equally prominent in
every way.
The disclosures of investiga-
ting committees, philanthropists
and prudists indicate a state of
degeneracy unsuspected by
those who are acquainted only
with conditions in their vicinity.
Chicago is now the center to-
wards which public attention
has gravitated as New York was

Liqht Packs Best for
Overnight "Hikes''

The advantages Of using only the
materials found in the woods when
making overnight hikes with Boy
Scouts is emphasized by Scoutmaster
Jones, Of Troop A. Bethesda. Ability
to construct a good shelter of sticks
and boughs in a short time is of great
importance" Mr.. Jones says, "and such
q shelter not only ebviates the need Of
carrying heavy tents. but it is prac-
tically as good as tent.
Tn fact, members of our troop find
no advantage in a covering at all ex-
cept when Il rains, and ordinarily this
is easy to tell before one goes to bed.
We also find 1t better to use cooking
utensils of materials found in the
woods. We bake fish In the ashes of
our fire, broil steak over the Goals after
the manner of our early ancestors, bake
potatoes In the fire, fry eggs on fat
rocks. and employ only the coffee
boiler to make coffee.
Think what load it relieves one Of
in not having to carry a lot Of heavy
dishes, tents, canvas, and the like Be-
sides this. We take only one heavy
blanket, make up a bed of boughs and
roll up in the blaket to sleep. Our
boys have been doing this all summer
on our overnight hikes, and find it
better than to pack a lot of dunnage
and hundred times more interesting"
