SCOUTS Nct as F1fR GudroSs
 In Centralia, Wash, the boy scouts have formed a patrol for the purpose of protecting park property and keep ing litter on the grounds. One park, nearly four blocks in extent, is in the care of the boys They have no police powers. but have the backing of the police force. This action on the part of the Centralia scouts was taken to prevent people from leaving refuse on the grounds and it is the duty of the boys to request picnickers to place waste paper, fruit peelings. etc. in the proper receptacles and to prevent the young toughs. who frequent the park from damaging trees and benches. In addition to their regular patrol duties the boys conduct a cleanup day oc- casiona1ly and put the ground in order
 similar campaign has recently been inaugurated by the boy scouts in Cleveland. Ohio The plan is to station troops of scouts in certain parks on Sundays. the day when the grounds are most generally used Each scout car ries a number of cards on which is printed.

"A friend is the first person to come
in when all the world has gone out"
Four hundred years before the dawn
ing of the Christian era, lthe drama of
Damon and Pythias" was enacted and
has lived and grown down through all
ages until it is the foremost theme in
the world today upon which universal
peace may be founded
1t is this sublime story that is un-
folded in the absorbing and soulful
photo drama of Damon and Pythias.
Spectacular, stirring, gripping are its
scenes laid in Greece in the pomp and
glory of her greatest day, with its CO.
ossal groupings, classic dances, games.
the thrill of the chariot race, battles
upon sea and land, cities built and
destroyed, and through all this, with
dramatic fire and touch of sentiment
runs the story of human friendship and
its lesson of mans humanity to man.
Never before in the history of pic
tured plays have scenes of such mag
nifcence and grandeur met the camera.
Because of its all appealing story,
its deep and inspiring love interest, its
nearness to all that is human, its edu-
cational and uplifting influences, il is a
picture all will want to see. 1t is the
pictured presentation of story of
friendship that has lived through all
the ages - 1t is a photoplay that will
never die.

The final episodes of 1.-THE Perils of
Pauline" are being shown at the Gem
| today.
The villainous Owen is not discour-
aged by the numerous times his plans
have been foiled by the courage and
] enterprise of his intended victim and
her fance. Dsgusted with the lack of
success which has attended the efforts
of his accompliice, the gypsy Balthaza,
| he let's him go and enlists the aid of a
| vilianous cutthroat who masquerades
under .the name of doctor" Louis
Wrentz.
Unconsciously aiding Owen IN his
| new plan. Harry is called out of town
| on business. thus leaving Pauline with
out the aid of his advice. Owen has
printed up some letter heads giving the
name of a fake publishing house in
Philadelphia. He then tpyewrites upon
one of these letter to her, stating
over the signature of the fake concern
that they have seen in the Cosmopoli-
| tan her marine story and believe her to
| be just the person to write new serial
story they have in mind. The letter
| requests her to call upon them at her
earliest opportunity. Pauline is com
pleteIy taken in by the letter, and at
once leaves for Philadelphia. On the
same train go Wrentz and his accom-
plices, men of his own stripe.
Arriving in Philadelphia that night
Pauline goes to hotel and is assigned
to room %. Wrentz arrives shortly af-
terward and requests the room next to
her-24. He has sent this rooom a
large wardrobe trunk which he has de-
signedly brought with him. The next
| day Pauline leaves the hotel to look up
the publishers and Wrentz and his men
take advantage of her absence to
change the numbers on the doors of the
two rooms. Failing to find the pub.
fishers, Pauline returns to her room
thoroughly puzzled and determined to
return to her home. Deceived by the
hunters on the doors, she enters

hand. Ovens actions are seen by this
man, who then visits the motor boat
and learns what has been done. But
for the time being he holds his peace.
The next morning Pauline with her
dog under her arm starts off on her
motor boat trip. Harry protests to the
last. but is laughed down by Pauline,
who chugs away triumphant in the
boat. As Harry turns away in anger
the sailor steps up to Owen and leads
him aside and then asks why he seut-
tied the boat the night before. Owen
in terror at his knowledge of his guilt
bribes him to be silent.
An hour later Pauline discovers the
leak and tries in vain to stop il. The
water comes In faster and faster and
before long the girl sees that she must
make landing very SOON or drown.
Spying the old barge she drives her
waterlogged boat to IL al top speed and
reaches it just in time. Carrying her
dog with her she chambers up the fore
chains and makes heIsef as comforta.
ble in the cabin as she can. But she is
saved from one danger only to be
plnged into another. Suddenly a shell
passes through the cabin with terrific
noise. The battleship is firing at its
target and Pauline is caught like rat
in a trap. Another shell hits the YES.
sci and then another. Conscious that
it can only be question of few min
utes before the boat will be utterly
destroyed, Pauline hastily writes q note
on scrap paper telling of her peril. and
then tieing it to her dogs collar. points
out TO him the warship and throws him
into the water. The intelligent beast
successfully performs his mission,
swims.to the battlesip, is picked up by
the sailors and before long Pauline is
rescued just as the barge is sinking.
In the meantime the old sailor demands
$50, 900 from Owen as the price of his
silence. Owen. rendered desperate by
the fear of betrayal, tries to push tho
man into the water, catching him in an
unguarded moment. But the sailor,
seizing owen, hurls him overheard In
stead Not long afterward as Pauline
is brought back by the blue jackets to
the yacht and receives loving well
come from Harry, Owen, who has been
struggling vainly to keep afoat, with
last despairing cry sinks unnoticed,
unwept and unregretted. To such an
end does his unscrupulous avaricious-
ness bring him.
