SCOUTING A CHECK
 FOR JUVENILE CRIME

Since the beginning of the great war juvenile crime in the large cities of Europe has shown startling increase. This is due to the spirit of recklessness that inevitably deveiops under these conditions and to the absence of so many parents and teachers.
 In seeking a means to correct this condition the authorities turned to the Scout movement and called upon mem- bers of the organization for aid The response was immediate and the results extremely gratifying. General Baden Powell. the head of the Boy Scout movement in England. writes of this particular phase of scout work:
 "A system has been established whereby each scout takes at least one street boy under his charge and brings him in as an honorary member to use the scouts clubs. and to play in their games and practice their hobbies. thereby gaining improved environment and activities We find that the worst hooligan soon makes the best scout; he only needs direction for his adven-

 It appears really To be the desire of the reclamation service to know whether or not the people want it to continue selling power to the gas com pany at the lie per kilowat hour for nom continuous service, or to utilize the entire output of the project plants, to supply mining companies. which will take every ampere at peak load twenty four hours a day. The price to the mining companies is but Ac . kilo- wat hour, but because of the fact they take the entire load, the return to the project is much greater. It has been estimated that the new contract with the local light company cuts the possi- ble power revenue down S25,000 year.
 The mines can, and will. if permitted. use the total power output of the proj- ect, amounting to 5000 kilowats-an amount based on the use of water only to the limit of irrigation needs.
