The program at the last scout
meeting was as follows: Enroll
ment of three new scouts, a let
ter from Uncle Henry. practice
on several new yells and learn
ing to sing a new boyscout song
and games. Some of the yells
were very good.
Several days last week the
temperature of the rooms was
very low; and to make matters
worse the rooms were SO filled
with smoke and coal gas so we
could scarcely work. At noon
there was a storm of SCOT over
all.
According to the reports giver
by some of the pupils. two of oui
school fellows have quit schoo
because they are now 16 years
old and not because they have
any other reason. We are al
very sorry, for some day the,

PRESIDENT IS RIGHT

However, Americans should
keep off armed merchant ships
voluntarily, even in the absence
of congressional warning. Ger
many has given them tips time
and again in horific fasion, but
just the same, as established in
ternational law safeguards trav-
elers in such circumstances,
then the whole American nation
should stoutly support the presi-
dent in his refusal to abandon
that principal. 1t is a strange
situation. Law and precedent
are clearly on the side of the
president, reasonable considera-
ton for desperate belligerent
against him. 1t scarcely is re-
markable that congress should be
divided. But, the president, haV-
ing law, not sentiment, back Of
him. should be bulwarked by
every person who believes in the
sacredness of law.
Congress can i'll afford to prove
wobbly in such a crisis.
1t will be time to modify the
law Of nations when the world is
at peace. 1t may be most unneu-
tral to do it now. Madison De-
rnocrat.

WHY WE FEAR SNAKES.

MT. Allen S. Williams, director of the International Herpetological So- ciety, who has made it his life's work Ito eradicate from the mind of the public the many silly rprejudices, su- perstitions, and errors regarding snakes and other reptiles" says that the fear of serpents cherished by many adult human beings in the tenn perate zone on this hemisphere is chiefly due to the absorption of mis- information imparted to them j in childhood by their elders, who in turp were similarly misled.
 Unfortunately" says Mir. Will liam, "the study of nature which is commonly pursued in schools, public and private, stops short at reptiles. partly through a lack of publication of popular scientific advice about this phase of natural history. If children were permitted to remain in abso- lute ignorance of the nature of ser pents they might not fear them, but. instead, they are told fakes, in place of facts, by older people, and even many instructore of biology in our public schools are very meagrely in- formed about the life histories of reptiles, and particularly of serpents.
 Out of an experience of 20 years of association with living serpents. and of making people acquainted with them, l can refer to tests innu- merable with small children from 2 years of age upward who showed no signs of fear of serpents, but readily handled them and were loath to part with pets which evidently pleased them. Photographic records have been made of many of these in- stances, which are convincing to any observer.
 "No, the fear of serpents is found- ed on ignorance, and I have observed that among people, savage or civil ized, who lived where reptile life is abundant there is the same ridicul- ous, unwarranted fear that might be better justified in denizens of cities where a serpent is never seen except ing in sociological collections or shows

OFF ON A BIG
 MOVIE TRIP
W. B. WOODWORTH GOING UP NORTH ON A TRIP WITH
 CAMERA.

". 5. sWoedrworth, who is well known here was about town yes terday taking pictures. He left last evening for Juneau where he intends to stop for few days, for the same purpose, that of taking pictures for movie picture com pany. He came here from Prince Rupert, and this is what the Even ing Empire has to say about MT.
 Woodworth and his associate:
 "You remember those advantur- ous boys who came down from Skagway in a power boat, and gave caberet concerts on. their way to the Frisco Fair last fall? They showed in the merry Majestic and made a hit. Sure! We'll, one of them, the leader of that bright band, w. B. Woodworth blew into town the other day with how-do for his friend Billy Wright of the Windsor Hotel and news of a new adventure which he and his partner H. Coffey, the camera artist of old time Rupert fame, have on hand. They are going, backed by couple of movie production companies, on a prolonged tour into Alaska and the Arctic with 10000 feet of film and then some-taking movie pie lures of the Northern Wonderland. They will take films of Alaska in summer, dispelling the ice-bound idea of the fairest portion of all American possessions, and will hit the North still farther from Nome by staunch ship to get Arctic Pictures of polar bears and seals. and Esquimaux belles, and igloos. and Aurora Borealis displays, and other wonders. The boys will be- gin by taking pictures of the break up of ice on the river at Dawson, and will let their film reels roll up scenes of spring and summer in AL aska to unfold them again radiantly for southern eyes. Then gradually the whirring reels will gather in pictures of the icy Arctic, regular procession of pictures from ice to ice through all the sunshine of an Alaskan summer. It's big adven- ture all right, much bigger than even the power boat trip to Frisco thoNgh on that, the boat sunk five times, and was exhibited as a phenomenon of naval architecture at the great Frisco fair where the boys had successful season."
