The scouting council to be organ
lied will consist Of not less than ten
members and perhaps much in excess
of that number. A troop consists of
number Of patrols and each patrol
is made up of eight members. a pa.
troll leader and an assistant, making
ten boys in all. Boys of twelve
years and upward are eligible to be-
come members Of the Boy Scouts.
When they become proficient in the
work Of assistant scout master and
at the age OF twCnty-OnC. provided a
boy has passed through all of the
various stages Of development. he is
made Il scout master. The object OF
the scout movement Is to make tho
boys dependable under all cirCuuN
stances and situations. There Is
nothing military in the movement
and nothing to suggest militarism
except the name of scout and the
adornment of the boy, who is clad
in an uniform.

NOT A

Once upon a time there was
Il shrcwd person who wanted

lie could not get to see nm
in person but he learned that
he was constant reader oil d
certain newspaper.
10 the man who wanted
something wrote an ADVERTISE
mcnt stating his proposition
and worded In the way he BE-
licycd would appeal to the ONE
MAN lie wanted to reach.
He put it N a prominent
place in the newspaper READ ny
the ONE MAN.
He kept 1t there and before
many days rolled around II ala
lust what he hoped II Wou'"'
brought him to the attention OF
the customer.
Both profited-f"r this is a
true advertising story.
NdGathS'T6int to you lies in
the fact. that there is probably
some message in the advertis'

that is written expressly to
you.
Are you a reader Of the adj

To Keep Trespassers Off.

1--WE had a right to keep trespas-
scrs off our property" he declared.
He said that the coal operators COLI
sidCrcd as undesirablGs labor agita-
tors and organizers, and they refus
cd employment to any miner active
~ affiliated with the United Mine
Workers. Davis testified that the
coal operators paid the salary Of It
special officer employed by the Z. L.
0. 10 ride up and down the railroad
to see what the business was of per-
sons approaching.
"IIc would have authority to put
any undesirable coming up the rail
road off our property the moment he
stepped on it," said Davis.
There was no place the miners
could meet on the creek, was there"
Davis was asked.
There was no place for them to
hold United Mine Workers meet
ing" he retortcd.
And if they wanted to trade at
any store other than the company':'
some of the miners would have to
travel ten miles before they could
get off the cOmpany's land mad reach
an independent store, wouldn't
they?"
"YcS, that is so"

NEW ASSESSMENT
GIVES SQUARE DEAL

Evidence Of the inequality that has
existed in the assessment now in use.
pending the completion OF the new as
sessmcnt system by the Board Of Assess
ment, Revision and Appeals. is shown by
the figures which will be submitted to
the board by the Lloyd assessment and
appraisement experts, who are working
upon the oppraisement Of the entire
city.
The experts have finished the First
ward, and the figures are being typed in
permanent form preparatory to being
submitted TO the board. In this ward
alone some Of the changes in the figures
are almost unbelievable. and in some of
the wards in the northern part of the
city the changes are expected TO be even
greater.
An instance Of the change TO be made
by the new assessment system is shown
in the report Of the experts, who have
been at work in the First ward. On one
building the valuation has been in
creased SIG. .355, while the adjoining prop
crty valuation has been reduced S54Ss
below the former figure, showing a dif-
ference OF S2l .S43 on these two proper.
ties.
In another block of the same ward one
property Is $1,000 ovcrtaxed while an
other is overtaxed $500. making total
discrepancy of $1,000 between these
two properties. An such discrepancies
will be corrected by the now system.

CITY WILL 60
AFTER THE NEW
ARMOR PLANT

The advantages offered by viii
mington for the site Of the proposed
government armor plant vontem-
plated by the Navy Department. were
set forth in full by Robert M.~Pin-
dell, Jr., industrial manager Of the
Chamber Of Commerce, at the smoker
given by that body last evening. In
his remarks Mr.. Pindell declared
that In order to gel the proposed
plant II would be necessary for VIII
mington to make as big a showing
at Washington as any other city
when the subject comes up there.
With this idea In view Mr. Pindell
thought large delegation Of citizens
should be sent to Washington 10 Inn
press the government that Whining
ton really wants the plant. After
some d scussion on the subject Pres
ident Marvel was authorized to ap-
point a committee to go to Washing
to to boost Wilmington's claim for
the plant. The committee will be ap-
pointed later by the approval OF the
Board Of Directors of the Chamber.
Mr.. Pindeil declared that Will
mington possessed all the essential
requisitest.of the government in the
location Of the federal plant; these,
he cited as railroad and water facil-
tiles, available land and conven-
fences. The Chamber Of Commerce
official declared that Wilmington is
as well equipped as any city on the
Atlantic seaboard for the location of
the armor plant. He declared that
Wilmington has more available land
to offer than Newport News, Phila-
delphia, Brooklyn, Baltimore or towns
of Maine
The Chamber OF Commerce indus
trial head and President Marvel, in
the course of their remarks, made the
statement that the Wilmington De-
velopment Company the boards

snid "Therc is no need OF the members
