It was learned Tuesday that recruit

My Boy Scout Neighbor

1t was comfortable to have to say
that to a child. An adult must
have heard with an inevitable
sense of amusement. David was
gravely sympathetic. II guess I'll
have to get you to phone for a
cab to take me to a hotel" l fin
ished.
"Oh, l can get you in all right"
said David. He went to his home
and returned with a small kit of
tools and a flashlight, also with a
shawl, which he put around me-
He worked at my lock and soon
had me in my house sitting by my
coy fire. BLESS my boy scout
neighbor!" / thought as his bicycle
bell tinkled when he rode away.
This was one-just one-of the
times in which David helped me
out. There were ways, so many
ways, as l learned, in which a
scout could and would render eff
| cient first aid.

there are about months a year
when you have to go swimingless.
Suppose there were the chance
to get a real, modern, first class
swimming pool, just for us. Would
you be willing to help work for it?
A swimming pool that would be the
equal of that in the Y. nj. C. A.,
with heated water. lockers, shower
baths, a woman to be in charge,
and just one square from Sth and
Main; would you want it?
Well, listen; you know this Won
derful Martha Washington hotel
that is going to be put up on the
corner of Sth and South A, just for
women, that will just about take
the place of Y. w. c. A., don't
you? Well, it is going to have just
enough space left in the basement
next to the gymnasium to have a
30x30 pool, and Mr.. Krone says if
we can offer him enough security
to assure the stockholders that it
will pay them to put that many
thousands of dollars into the build
ing, we can have it. The Camp
Fire Girls are in for it, and are
going to work to help get it, but
we need every club and every girl
in Richmond back of the movement.
Because, girls, that would be one
of the biggest things we ever have
tried to do, and there isn't any
one organization of girls big enough
to engineer a campaign alone. Are
you in for it? Talk it up when
you are out in crowds, and l wish
every single one of you would write
in to the Junior and show your
colors. Here's my letter, now let's
see yours. Aunt Molly

Interesting Book

There are many interesting books
down at the library, but one that
was most interested in was an
edition of alice in Wonderland"
that is the exact copy of the way
Lewis Carroll wrote it, with all
the words printed in the funniest
little cramped writing, and queer
little pictures drawn with a pen
and ink along the margin. Ask
Miss Foulk to show it to you the
next time you are down to the
library, and see if you aren't as in
terested. in it as ! was.

Habits and economic status: The
bobwhite is loved by every dweller
of the country and is better known
to more hunters in the United Sta
ties than any other game bird. 1t
is no less appreciated on the table
than in the field, and in many sta
ties has unquestionably been hunt
ed too closely. Fortunately it
seems to be practicable to pro-
pagate the bird in captivity, and
much is to be hoped for in this
direction. Half the food of this
quail consists of weed seeds, al
most a fourth of grain. and about
tenth of wild fruits. Although
theus eating grain, the bird gets
most of it from stubble. Fifteen
per cent Of the bobwhite's food is
composed of insects, including sew
eral of the most serious pests of
agriculture It feeds freely upon
Colorad potato beetles and chinch
bugs; it devours also cucumber
beetles, wireworms, billbugs, clover
leaf weevils, cotton-boll weevils,
army worms, boil worms, cutworms
and rocky mountain locusts. Take
it all in all, bobwhite is very useful
to the farmer, and while it may
not be necessary to remove it from
the list of game birds every farmer
should see that his own farm is not
depleted by eager sportsmen.

Old Timers CoulI Hike
rom Outing.


 Some of the hiking that has been accomplished in Mexico recently, by various units of the punitive expedi- tion''-notably the feat of the detail from the Eleventh cavalry under Mai. Robert Howse-may be compared with earlier records. Howse and his smoked Yankees" covered 571 miles in 21 days, living off the country, as they took but five days rations with them. Much of the way was over ex- tremely rough mountain trails.
 In March. 1S48, First Lieutenant John Love, commanding Company B, First Dragons, who were acting light ar tillery, was 150 miles from headquar- ters when ordered to push forward with his battery. The distance was made in four nights and three days and half. They arrived before Chihuahua at day break. after marching all night, were in position on the firing line at 9:30 a. m., fought all day, and got no chance to rest until 9 that night
 In October, 1862. Stuart's brigade rode 75 miles in one day when nearly cor neared by Pleasanton. On June 30, 1863 the Sixth corps of the Army of the Potomac marched 36 miles. long hike for the infantry and particularly good time for such a large body.
 Howse made 55 miles a day for part of the time Considering the contrast between Mexico and our middle states the record of our troops in their re- cent dash south from the border shows that their marching qualities have not deteriorated since the civil war.
