IN THE INTEREST OF
 GOOD PLUMBING
CPubl.shed by Request.) ]

Published by ReQuest)
 A Tightwad Squeeze who lives near me, is just as stingy as can be; he has an apopletic stroke. his breath comes hard. his heart goes broke, his face turns livid, pale and blue, his veins stand out in deadly hue. His pulses stop, his eyelids close and drops of sweat roll down his nose whene'er the postman's lnuckles wrap upon his door with noisy rap, plumbers bin he must pay
 Yet Squeeze has real estate down town, old shacks that almost tumble down and tenements and dismal flats all overrun by mice and rats. and dingy dens, and cheap where sickly children wall and weep. and from these wretched dingy dens, his rent comes in by 5's and 1Os. And SO he he has an income sure. in spite of all he seems SO poor.
 Some months ago the board of health condemned these sources of his wealth and ordered certain alter ations according to the regulations prescribed by law including stands where tenant folk could wash the,r hands, and toilets. baths and kitchen sinks and city water fit for drinks. They also specified a light of gas at the flight of every head of stairs to make safe Go climb by old and young at any time. They sent him notice through the mail that he would have to so to jail if these improvements were not made by licensed men of the plumbing trade.
 A. Tightwad Squeeze threw seven Ats and tore his shirt into little bits and swore before notary that he could never pay the fee that any plumbing firm would ask for under taking such a task. His rents, he said. were never large, and tenants would not stand the charge and if he tried to make them pay they'd pack the.r grips and move away. But none the less. the board stood pat, and told him where he got off at and gave him thirty days of grace to get the plumb ing into place.
 With sinking heart old Squeeze obeyed and authorized the changes made. The work was done with skill and care and honest charges where water flowing from spout soon drove the dirt and squalor out The evil odors took the.r flight and through toilet vents connected right the tenants soon wore a path from each apartment to the bath while laundry tubs were filled with studs to wash the renters sheets and duds.
 And when next rentday came around A. Tightwad Squeeze was on the ground expecting to apply the screws to anyone who might refuse to pay a higher rent to compensate for

INTERESTING WATER BOILING
a# CONTEST -
IRooP xv

. u hOOF Nv
Last week a meeting was called for
the Waialua scouts under the leader
ship of Sgt. Sanderson. As the ser
geant came into the meeting room
Alert" was shouted by the leader
and the scout salute was given the
scoutmaster. After the roll call and
the approval of all the previous meet
ings held by the troop, the scouts
wanted water boiling contest. The
scoutmaster in order to stir interest
into the troop, got the scouts in line
and marched them down to the beach.
where there were some dry keawe
branches. Then he shouted and
asked, Where are your cans?" The
scouts said "Here!" and brought them
cut and let the sergeant inspect them.
They were all ready and the whistle,
was blown and the fun commenced, as
every once in a while scout would
get a thorn into his hand and yell.
All they had was this thorny wood,
tin can and two matches each, and
the time to boil over quart OF water
was remarkably fast.
After the water boiling contest
stories were told by the scoutmaster,
which held the interest of the scouts
for a half hour. Then the scouts,
marched back to the scout meeting
hall and the troop colors were voted
upon. Light blue and green did not
have any support, nor did many other
colors suggested. But little scout
in one corner yelled BLACK and
Green!' and then cast his eyes over
the rest of the scouts and everyone N
the troop voted for these colors. These
colors are the eagles colors. After
the colors were chosen the meeting
was adjourned until next week, when
some more scouting will be of interest
to the new members who have joined
the troop and who will be kept on
probation until they think they want
to stick and be loyal to the scouts of
Waialua.

Recent legislation enacted by Con-
gress compels the Boy Scouts of Am

tween Its members and non-members.
Scouts who do not register promptly
cannot be recognized as members.
The Importance Of this commands
the earnest attention of every scout
official The Nationals Council de-
sires the suggestions and an active
cooperation of all the men IN the field
in making these laws effective.

Military Dogs of the
By GARRETT P. SERVISS.

The value OF dogs is becoming more
and more appreciated by those who
employ them in police work. Not only
do many cities here and abroad use
dogs to assist in running down Grim
inals, but in Holland they are among
the most jealous guardians of that
war-surrounded land.
One instance Of dog that seemed
to have special instinct for tracking
crime is on record in Vienna
The police OF the city possessed a
collie which tracked the murderers Of
a boy and girl whose whereabouts
were unknown, and on another oc-
casion discovered theb ody of wo-
man missing for week Left in her
room for three days, he was released,
and then went direct to river, plung-
ed in, and brought her body ashore.
1t was dog. too, that brought some
Spanish slayers to justice. His mas
ter was killed in a quarrel and his
body buried. but the dog succeeded
in escaping from the criminals. 1t
