HOW A SCOUT STARTS
This is the Way the Boy Becomes 4
Pioneer

In its six years history In this
country. the Boy Scout movement has
so established itself and produced
such results tina. 1t is usually Endorsed
by educators, religious leaders of all
faiths and by municipal. state and
federal officials. And though the de-
velopments that have won this recog-
milton nave come from the splendid
performances OF Boy Scouts them
selves their proof Of efficiency and
characteristic program Of scout ac-
tivities is steadily growing in popu-
larity, so that there is scarcely a boy
anywhere who does not wish he could
be scout.
In developing this program, commit
tees of noted men-each an expert In
his own particular line-have cooper
ated; and the result of their work
Is that the Vaccinations Of scouting
have been multiplied while the require
ments were being stiffened. IL has
demonstrated that the boy; wherever
he may be located, Is more deeply
interested in the facts of life. In work
and in doing good turns, than he was
formerly supposed to be interested In
Sinking and doing mischief or COM
hitting crime.
. The boy who wishes. to become
scout must begin By qualifying as
tendereoot
The tenderfoot tests are simple:
The boy must know the scout law,
sign, salute and significance OF the
badge; know the composition and his
tory of the national flag and the GUS
tomary forms OF respect due to it, and
must be able 20 tie four out OF the
following knots: Square or reef, sheet
bend, bow-line, fisherman's, sheep
shank, halter, Glove hitch, timber
hitch or two half-hitches.
1t does not require great amount
of effort to learn all these things,
the real test % the tenderfoot being
I in keeping the scout law. The re-
quirements for the second class scout
is little more difficult, and still fur
Their tests must be passed by the first
class scout, but there are no require
ments which will discourage the boy
who has it in him."

TRAP WOMEN
When the man who preys on the

he no longer runs. the risk of flirta-

such dark-age melOdramatic tricks

merely spends a little change and
places a want ad in the Chicago Daily
News.
Samuel Thrasher, sup't of the
Committee of Fifteen, received a
number of complaints of girls who
were lured into dangerous situations
through News want ads. Finally he
made an investigation of one. AS a
result of Thrasher's activity, Alex
ander Louis, who says he lives at
1855 N. Central av. and has on Office

Louis on June 8, 1916, inserted the
following ad in the Daily News:
Ladies wanted for modelling, 36 to
3S bust. Address w. c., Daily News"
A married woman, trying to aid her
invalid husband, answered the ad.
She believed the Daily News took
only legitimate ads. According to
her story, Louis made improper ad-
Vances and asked her to disrObe.
During the course of the interview
she says he told her of another girl
who had answered one of his ads.
He said he sent this girl to "a rich
woman living in the Auditorium hO-

thing occurred to her. Finally he
conferred with States Atty HOyne.

her. The woman entered Louis
office, the story of the rich woman
in the Auditorium hotel was told,
and then, according to the woman,
Louis became bold in his advances.
The detectives broke into the room
and arrested Louis.
Louis made a general denial of the
