IMPRESSIVE IN HIS SPEECH
cabuIary Fit the Responsibilities
of His Position.

An old soldier was for a long time
curator of certain public educational
institution. In accordance with the
duties of his responsible position it
sometimes fell to his lot to remind the
students of forgotten regulations.
"Gentlemen," he shouted, on one &C.
casion, when game Of leapfrog was
going on in a somewhat shaky gallery,
"why this violent disturbances"
SWELL" was the reply, "what bust
ness is it of yours?"
"Gentlemen," he responded, indig.
nantly, displaying his full height, 'do
you know that am placed here by the
governors of this college to conserve
this building?"
At another time the prank was
played upon him of being simultane
ously summoned by two students from
different ends Of the corridor.
"Gentlemen," he cried out, II reall,
cannot be uniquitous!''
On another occasion, after heavy
rains, there was dire disaster of malo
dorous food in the cellars.
"Sir,'' reported Thomas, to the prin
cipal, "the rain has permeated the sol
and has resuscitated all the drains t,
overflowing!"

70! no! FOR NAUTICAL SCOUT

The Nautical Scouts, the four-year-
old water branch of the Boy Scouts Of
America, has. as its object the train
ing Of boys to be skillful watermen, as
much at home on the river lake and
ocean as on, the land. ". h..
To teach them how to swim, how to
rescue and resuscitate the drowning,
row and sail boat, run and manage
power boat; local plotting, casting
and lead, steering; how to keep them
selves and the craft neat and clean,
how to be prompt and cheerful, obedi-
ent, alert, active and resourceful-
these are all included.
The use of the mariners compass,
the use Of the leads in sounding, all
the parts and Identification marks OF
all kinds Of vessels, the keeping Of g
log book, the serving on the watches
even the methods of living aboard ship
are learned by Nautical Scouts, fol
the training is a thorough one.
There are troops near Boston, Phil
adelphia, in Oregon, Florida and on the
Gulf that get a taste of the real sea
life. Nautical scouting as practiced
near Pittsburgh, and in the New Eng
land states and along the Great Lakes
makes use Of lakes and rivers. It is

really water scouting; "watercraft" as
contrasted with woodcraft; boat lore
instead Of field lore. In other words,
this increasingly popular branch Of
scouting can be, and should be, taken
up wherever there is enough water to
float a boat and enough boys to man it.
In carrying out the program the Maui
teal Scouts visit other ships in the vi
cinity and there become familiar with
the nomenclature, as we'll as the whole
run Of the vessel. Naval history is in
cluded in the program of work, and as
opportunity affords, Scouth leaders
take the boys on cruises, stopping at
other ports and visiting such institu-
ton as marine museums, navy yards
and famous ships.
Daniel Beard, national Scout com
missioner, has pointed out that the
Nautical Scouts can perform very use
full service in looking for wrecks OF
vessels in distress, noting what vessels
pass and what descriptions Of vessels
they are, whether the vessels in the
ofting are freighters or passenger boats
steamers, gasoline launches, cat boats
sloops, schooners, briggs, brigantines
barks, barkentines or full-rigged ships
The day will come when Nautical
Scouts will be in demand to manage
command or own vessels Of the mer.
chant marine.

New York, Sept. 17.-Queen of the
Gay White Way o three years, and
no sign Of slipping!
Never in Broadway's glittering his
tory has a beautiful girl caused such
a fanatical furore or held the throne
SO long as has Justine johnson.
The despair of New FORKS gilded
youth, the ideal of artists, the envy
OF the women of Fifth avenue, Miss
tombstone is the most talked of and
most toasted girl in THE Roaring
Fourties." She made her debut as a
messenger boy In ''Follies Bergere"
three years ago, and is now, at 19,
the "Three-Year Reignfng Beauty of
Broadway"
What fs the secret Of this strange
fascination Justine holds over men?

is perfect physical beauty and NAT
URALNESS.
I have seen Miss tombstone on the
stage and at her club in elaborate
|toilettes. But today, in . simple
muslin dress, she seemed prettier and
more charming than ever.
"How do you account for your won
derful success?" I asked her.
"A girl with the necessary qualia
1cations of youth and beauty is never
denied an engagement on Broadway"
she answered, and If she will only
be natural she will be just as popular
off as on the stage.
IT have found the chorus Of q good
musical comedy Is good a place for a
girl to start a career as any I know
Of. You can learn more in q chorus
than at any dramatic school.
IT have found in my work no time
for dissipation, even if 1 were in
clined to it. Anyway, the idea that
the stage is an occupation for frivol-
Gus people, and that life behind the
scenes is one long orgy, is Silly.
Il have often wondered at my
popularity, for there are many girls
as pretty as I. Perhaps people like
me both o n the stage and at other
times a well because I have tried to
prove that one can be both good and
happy at the same time"
