One point, however, stood out clearly
that clubhouse for scout troop
would tend to eliminate the chances OF
joint debate with serious minded and
determined patrolmen.
Prior to this there had been little
talk-unof11cial, of course-among the
scoutmasters as to the best way of
holding the troops together. Not that
enthusiasm was lacking. RatheE there
was . lack-of cohesion, caused BY ffie

When the word first went out that
the scouts were in need of headquar-

give aid. One enthusiast prepared ito

One of the things which worried

tendency of certain rough-necked
youths who hadn't the necessary en-

organization to try to 'rough-house"

illustrate.

tion of the clubhouse. But what they
lacked in time they made up in en-
thusiasm., In a little while the cabin
was half finished.
Then one morning the youngsters

that the cherished building had been
utterly destroyed. They found the logs
slung around in a wanton effort to
make the havoc as complete as posi-
BILE. Several of the heavier had been
dumped over steep hill and were lost
for good. {.
With the discovery of this calamity
several things began to happen with
remarkable celerity. A detachment OF
the older boys went forth along the
highways and the byways hunting for
the vandals, and though they didn't
find them they took pains to point out

first Of the Highland troops was the
Black Watch Regiment, which was
recruited in .1725, and 1t was called by
its now historic name because of the
somber colorings of the tartans of It's

There was time when the English
would have none of the kilt because it
was the Scottish national dress. 1t has

administered 1t Fort Williams and

many traditions and much Scottish
sentiment is woven in the plaid. Real

skins were not fashioned by a tailor
into coat, vest and trousers. nor even

garment was folded around the BODY
and the legs from the knees to the feet
were left bare. Thus, the kilt style
goes back to the earliest skin clothing
of the human race.
The kilt has been worn in Scotland

to some authorities. 1t was. a few CEN
