Boy Scouts OF America-)
SCOUTS AS LIFE SAVERS
BY ARMSTRONG PERRY.

The most common element In acct
dents Is preventability. The careless
ly thrown match, the day-dream on the
railroad track, the mind which wanders
from the hand upon the lever, the fool
who rocks the boat-these are they
who keep the surgeon and the under
taker and the dealer In artificial limbs
working overtime.
Boy Scouts are taught to foresee and
prevent accidents. When a boy is
taught anything he is ever on the alert
to use his knowledge. The result Of
the scout training is shown In a re-
markable way In the records Of the
national court of honor.
There are about 10000 scouts in
the United States, most Of whom go
on hike at least once week through
out the year and camp out for week
or more, every summer. 1t would be
natural to expect that with this. num-
Der Of boys, all Of the most reckless
age. climbing trees and hills, cutting
wood and building fires the number
Of serious and fatal accidents would
be large. Not so. The national court
Of honor, which awards medals to
scouts who risk their lives In saving
others is called upon to consider only
three or four cases month and in
most of these the person rescued Is not
u scout.
In most of these cases the rescue
Is due not only to the presence Of mind
and heroism of the scout, but also to
his foresight In providing himself with
equipment for use In an emergency
and his diligence In learning the meth
DDS by which rescues may be effected.
A scout who was thoughtful enough
to carry coil Of rope at his belt when
he went skating saved boy who
broke through the Ice. One of the
youngest scouts saved a child from
bleeding to death from an artery Sc
vered by n piece of broken china on n
beach. His scoutmaster had taught
him how to apply tourniquet, using
n handkerchief and stick. During
the reunion of the veterans of the war
Of the states ut Gettysburg, at the re-
NiVW AZ w dohhh6toh III LOU, anu VI
many other occasions where enormous
crowds have assembled, the scouts
have saved many from the affects of
heat exhaustion, by being on the spot
with restoratives and knowledge Of
the means of quickly finding medical
aid. Many a scout has gone to the as
sistance of drowning person, released
himself from death grip, fought his
way to safety with load heavier than
his own weight and, at the point of
exhaustion, has been obliged to apply
artificial respiration while a crowd of
able-bodied men and women looked on,
unable to do anything because of their
ignorance Of few simple but vital
rules.
A community which fails to protect
Itself against calamity by developing
the latent power In its boy population
deserves the same fate as the man who
goes without fire and accident and
health insurance.

Why Fish Will Fall Upward.
Tho deep-sea fish are subject to
pressure internally, by gases, and ex-
terna,ly of over two tons to the square
inch, and under this pressure they are
quite solid. When these fish are
brought to the surface in nets their
bodies become puffy, their homes loose
and their eyes start out Of their heads;
very often they burst. This Is because
the pressure is released.
When these fish of the deep sea
chase their prey or rise for some rea-
son high above the ocean bed, the
gases of their swimming bladders az
pand and they become light. The FISH
whose muscles are not strong enough
to take 1t down deeper into the ocean
expands more and more until 1t rises
upward to the surface and is killed, so
that 1t really "fslls upward"

Only Waited to

Says Gregory

MAGNOLIA. Mass. Sept s. -
Atty. Gen. Thomas ". Gregory was
a guest at the summer home of Col.
E. NJ House here Wednesday even
ing when he received word that
raids on the headquarters Of the In
dustrial Workers Of the World in
many cities had been carried out as
arranged by the federal department
Of justice.
1T is no secret" said Mr. Greg
DRY. that the Industrial Workers OF
the World have been under suspic-
ion for some time. The department
Of justice conducted a quiet inves-
tigation until it was convinced that
we were warranted in taking such
action as this
Il do not need 20 say that the
raids Will be followed quickly by in
dictments If we find anything 10
warrant them and the men Will be
prosecuted TO the extent Of the law
if they deserve it.
we have operated from Chicago
as center because that is the head
quarters OF the organization. The
raids extended throughout the west
wherever any especial I. w. W. ac-
tivity had developed. In the west
the Industrial Workers of the World
constitute a serious problem. but ex-
cept for an occasional outcropping
here and there, I don't think II gen
orally serious in the east"
The attorney general declined TO
say what particular offense would
probably be charged, remarking
that they were only included under
the general term of "sedition". He
left here for Maine tonight for a
vacation in the woods.
