BOY SCOUT PREPAREDNESS.


The craze for preparedness" is
reaching even the Boy Scouts. Here
tofore the Scout movement has been
kept free from militarism. The boys
receive a moderate amount OF mill
tary drill. but it has always been ex-
planned as means for physical develop
ment and mental discipline rather
than for fitting the lads for soldiers,
or putting military notions into their
heads. But now there is strong ten
dency, among those who want the
nation put on a war footing, to util-
lie the Boy Scout movement to train
the rising generation for the nation
al defense
Most Of the boys, no doubt, would
lend themselves easily to such pro-
gram. The war has touched their
imaginations, and any call in the
name of patriot would find them
keenly responsive. They could easily
learn the rudiments of soldering, and
thus fit themselves to complete the
necessary training of volunteer sub
sequently in less time than usual.
Even under tn peresent regime, re-
cruit with scouts training has a
considerable advantage.
Whether 1t is desirable to divert
this admirable organization to the
purposes Of militarism, as it has al
ready been diverted abroad, is an
other question. Most Americans
would probably oppose it.

WHY DO WE LAueH2

why 90 we laugh.
That question has been the sub
ject OF considerable study by Profess
sor G. T. w. Patrick, psychologist at
the State University of Iowa.
Laughter is the expression of
glee which we feel when we see the
cogs of civilization slip little" Pro-
fessor Patrick has concluded. 1--WE
laugh at the unconventional, the in
decorous, the disorderly. the unaccus-
toned, the unusual, the irregular, the
incoherent, the improper, the illogi-
cal. the non-coherent, the nonsenstcal
and the eccentric.
I'VE laugh at a person in partial
dishabille in a public place, man
in the street chasing his hat or miss
ing a car, well dressed person fall
ing into the mud, an intoxicated man,
man sleeping in church, especially
If deacon or a member of the choir,
precise persons making slips in Ian
guage.
In the social life of the present
day, the occasion Of laughter is usual
ly any elemental situation that re-
calls the free and unrestrained life
OF early times and releases US for a
moment from the bonadge OF social
claims"

D. w. Haggerty Asks 5000 for N

TT. Madison Gem City: D. w. Hag-
gerty of Keokuk filed a claim against
Lee county for 5000 personal dam
ages to himself and wife today In the
office of County Auditor A. P. Meyer
In declaration accompanying the
claim, Haggerty alleges that he ano
Mrs. Haggerty suffered injuries OF
serious nature last November when
thrown from phaeton that tipped
over when leaving bridge short
distance from the Rock Island rail-
road company's tracks on the Valley
highway into Keokuk. He declares
the approach to the bridge at this
end was not as wide as the bridge
and that due to this fact, the buggy
was tipped over as 1t left the bridge.
His wife, the declaration recites.

injuring her hip and bruising her gen.

Haggerty asks the board OF super
visors to pay $500 on account OF his
wife's injuries and $4,000 on account
of his own.

DOCTORS, JURY FOR BABIES.

Hereafter when the question arises
in Chicago whether any baby born de.
Dfective should be allowed to die, it
will be decided by jury OF eminent
physicians. A medical board has been
appointed for the purpose by Coro-
ner Hoffman,, as a result of the
recommendation made by the jury
which Investigated the now famous
case of the defective Bollinger baby.
Apparently it is the first institution
of the sort in the world. Its status
is rather peculiar. 1t has no strictly
legal standing AS the coroner ex,
plains. the fact that the medical
board has sanctioned the doom of a
detective infant will not do away with
the necessity for an inquest. 1t isn't
likely, however, that a coroner's jury
would quarrel with the verdict of a
jury of reputable physicians that had
allowed an unfit baby to die natural
death.
The right of any human authority
to decide such matter may still be
questioned. But the action taken is
admirable nevertheless. Whatever
moralists may say, the fact is that
many doctors take such matters into
their own hands, and will probably
continue to do so. The merit of the
Chicago plan is that it removes the
peril of letting one physician decide
so momentous a question as the life
or death of a human being Will
such group of experts TO consult

Present methods Of warfare, even

The point is of particular interest

army and navy plans are being re-
modelled. There can be no question
that the supreme desideratum OF our
national defense is plenty OF officers.

county, the man who discovered and
perfected the implement, who proved
the merits Of the system of dragging

years to it's promotion, also wrote a
pamphlet for the federal government
which was given wide circulation by
the department of agriculture But in
1914 the department superseded the

seems that Mr.. King took up
with the department number of
mistakes in the new pamphlet, but
falled In his effort to have them cor
rected. He then addressed an open
letter to Secretary Of Agriculture
houston in which he appeals to the
secretary to suppress the Page pam

gerous.

mise with King by publishing inside

OF the government, the original pam.

Ward King to come and explain MS
method Of dragging dirt roads, ne
goes, provided his expenses are met.
Anybody can make drag OF the King
design and the cost is nominal. What
King is fighting for is that his de-
sign and methods, which are the fruit
Of long experience, be followed. he
contends that the other design does
not do the work properly, rather that
1t spoils the road, and hence places IN
Jeopardy the entire scheme of improv-
ing dirt roads by the inexpensive ano
valuable process of dragging them.
Northwest Missouri is behind King II
his contention, for it knows the man
and knows his road method; and so,
very likely, is every other section that
has dragged dirt roads under Kings
guidance. Mr.. King Is fighting for an
IDEA, the broad and specific public
value OF which he has demonstrated.

THE voLuNrEERs FAD.

The police commissioner OF New
York City is planning police reserve
force of $4,000 civilians. The idea
seems to have been borrowed from
Chicago. where there is project on
foot to organize a volunteer police
system Of $4,000 citizens, to supple
ment the activities OF the regular po-
lice.
Undoubtedly there is plenty of work
both in Chicago and New York for
such force. In Chicago. for ex-
ample, they might be used to round
up the gunner whose depreda-
tons every winter the regulars seem
unable to cope with. In New York.
the civilian cops might help keep traf-
f1c moving, persuading crowds to keep
to the right and injecting little or
der into the subways during the rush
hours.
Perhaps, too. II they were well
drilled in military tactics, they might
help to repel the German-or British
invasion which New Workers conf
IDENTIFY expect within year or two.
These plans are on a par, anyhow.
with the various projects now afoot
to line up civilians for the national
defense.
The notion seems to be current
that IL there is anything to do in this
country that requires secpial training
and long preparation, the best way to
get it done is to raise a body of CT
william volunteers We're to have vol
unteer police, volunteer soldiers, vol
unteer sailors. and voluntee1j for all
sorts of governm entail work. Nobody
is organizing volunteer fire depart
ments nowadays. however. Amateur
fire fighters long ago gave way To
trained professionals. Eventually We
may learn that municipal defense and
national defense are NJ work for

MONASTtR.

Monastir, which Is reported captur-
ed by the BuIgarians, was considered
Ia stronghold the enemy would never
be able to reach. It is described by
the National Geographic society as
follows:
"Monastir is the last place in Serbia,
hard upon the Greek frontier and de-
Tended by lesser mountains on every
hand. It was one of the most pr1zed
acquisitions made by the Serbians ait
er the war in 1912 OF the Balkan
League with the Ottoman empire.
"By means of schools, propaganda,
Serbian committees and Serbian
priests, the people of all this south
ern territory were long carefully pre-
pared for an ultimate union with the
little kingdom.
.'Monastir was the second city OF
Turkish Macedonia. 1t did THRIVING
business even under Turkish rule. ana
the Serbians entertain great hopes Oh
its future Moreover, this mountain
city is one of the important strategic
points in the Balkans, and when uii-
der Turkish rule it was made a base
Of military defense and offense OF the
same rank as Adrianople. Here were
located the headquarters offices OF
Turkish army corps: for the rcads
from the port of Salonika, on the
Aegean sea; from Nish, the ancient
CAPITAL Of Serbia, and from the I'M
portant fortress of Adrianople, met
and crossed here.
THE city nestles in bowl scoopeo
in the mountain clusters at an att
tude of 2,019 feet. To the west the
mountains rise to height OF more
than 500 feet All the mountain
country around is heavily wooded
while the broad valley is carpeted with
fruitful fields. The port OF Salonika'
where the allied troops landed, Is but
ieighty-five miles distant In the south

teers should spring up over night,
they would be a mob, and remain a
mob indefinitely, without officers to
drill order and discipline into them.
Even the question of munitions comes
second, for munitions can be supplied
more rapidly than officers can be
trained.
Incidentally, 1t is worth remember
ing that the average American can
be turned into a good officer quicker
than anybody else in the world. His
intelligence, a1ertne5s and adaptable
ity make it easy for him to absorb
instruction. In fact, soldiers of the
rank and file seem to absorb most of
the essentials naturally, instead of
following and obeying with their
eyes shut as most foreign privates do.
A foreign military attache, after
carefully studying the personnel of
our army, is said to have advised his
own government that more than TO-
900 of the private soldiers and non
commissioned officers would be quite
competent to serve as commissioned
officers, because Of the military know
