OF A BOY SCOUT"
Majestic Today and Tomorrow.

The Majestic offers its patrons
something entirely different in NOV
ing pictures in The Adventures OF
A Boy Scout"
Tom, a waif, is attracted to the
Boy Scouts movement and converted
into a useful member Of the com
the organization. He and his father,
who Is a ne'er- -dowel and a bur
glar incur the enmity of a wealthy
family, near whose estate the Boy
Scouts are encamped The wealthy
owner Of the estate, however and his
insipid son in the end are won over
to the movement on being impressed
by the manly motives of the Scouts.
The picture traces the practical value
OF the Scout movement in upbuilding
youthful character The work Of the
Boy Scouts in all its aspects is Illus
trated by series of descriptive epi-
sodes in which the daily routine of
the Scouts is shown: their drills
their usefulness in administering
first aid to the injured; their esprit
de corps; their ability to attack dep
redators and wrong-doers: their pow
ers OF defense.
Military operations, such as seal
ing walls, the rescue and care of
wounded the protection of property,
are among the incidents of the film.
The Boy Scouts adventures coin
eide with a human interest story
which points the moral that every
boy is a potential asset to his coun-
try that manlness, courage and
chivalry always win out.

What tuberculosis Costs.

1t has been estimated that deaths
from tuberculosis cost the nation half
a million dollars annually through the
loss of wages and the value of the
things workers would produce il they
were not suffering from the disease.
To conquer this enemy Of the human
race more than s2O,OOO,OOO a year is
expended. That the good work is pro-
crossing is shown by the fact that in
20 years the death rate from tubereu-

PAVING
SUIT ON

Following few preliminary
moves, attorneys for the Wash

tion with the Steilacoom bolle-
ward paving deal, rested their Pc
tition today in Judge Chapman's
court, to make the state show its
hand.
w. r. Scott, secretary to the
county commissioners, identified
the protested contract awarded
the Washington Paving Co., and
the bids offered by competing
firms.
Commissioner Slayden identi-
fled the Washington estimate
which was approved by the COM
missioners. George M. Savage,
president of the local paving firm,
told of inspecting the finished
highway in company with State
Highway Commissioner N. r.
Roy, who said it was satisfactory.
Savage said the first he knew
that Attorney General Tanner
was dissatisfied with the work
was several weeks later when
mandamus proceedings were
started to recover money for COM
pleting the work. He had thought,
he said, that the payment was de-
layed because of a paving case
that was pending.
The early session was taken up
with the technical description of
the methods of making and lay
ing asphalt paving. Attorney
General w. V. Tanner is assisted
