NOTES OF THE SCOUTS.

A scout! He enjoys hike through
the woods more than he does a walk
over the city's streets. He can tell
north or south or east or west by the
Signs" He can tie knot that will
hold, he can climb tree which seems
impossible to others, he can swim a
river, he can pitch tent, he can me.d
a tear In his trousers, he can tell you
which fruits and seeds are poisonous
and which are not, he can sight nut
bearing trees at distance; If living
near ocean or lake he can reef sail
or take his trick at the wheel, and If
near any body of water at all he can
pull an oar or use paddles and SOULS;
in the woods he knows the names Of
birds and animals; in the water he
tells you the different varieties of
fish.
The Boy Scouts Of Ruston, La, have
written DR.. Oscar Bowling, president
of the state board of health, saying
that they have secured the state mos
quito survey of their town and pro-
pose to eradicate mosquitoes and flies.
With this object in view, they have re-
quested the state board of health to
detail an inspector to assist them in
starting the work.
1t is stated that Iowa Is the home Of
at least 354 different varieties of
birds. The Boy Scouts of that state
claim that there are at least $40 varie-
ties of birds In the state and intend to
prove their statement. They will make
notes on all birds that they see and
send these to some central office where
they will be carefully studied and ar
ranged.
Boy Scouts Of .Waycross, Ca, have
induced one Of the local papers to al

gestions for planning and carrying out
Baby Week. The new edition of 1917
is full of interesting bits reported from
the local Baby Weeks of last year.
Two bulletins, "Child Welfare Exhib-
it's and "How to Conduct a Children's
Health Conference" give more de-
tailed instructions on these special
features of Baby Week.
Other bulletins on infant welfare
include tabular statement of infant
welfare work in the United States,

many cases accomplished by a cam
paign undertaken by some small group
who co-operated for the first time In
arranging their Baby Week. One cam
paign in a Southern mountain village
was launched and carried through by
one woman alone, a tuberculosis pa
tent. She arranged for meetings and
secured literature on baby care, which
was distributed in the two stores Of the
town.
OF course Baby Week can effect no
immediate revolutions in community
care, but 1t has proved an excellent
starting point for new and permanent
work.
Perhaps Westinghouse service is
organized, because the women of the
community come to realize during
Baby Week that there Is no other way
in which they can be instructed so cas-
lily and so well in the modern science
of baby care. They see, perhaps more
clearly than before, that the mother
who depends on instinct and tradition
In regulating her baby's food and cloth
ing and sleeping and all the details of
the babys day is behind the times.
They see, further, that intelligent care
not only will prevent Illness but will
simplify their own daily work.
Or perhaps Baby Week leads to
determination to have complete birth
registration in the community, with a
committee to carry on test and assist
the local officials in enforcing the birth
registration law.
Or classes are started in the public
school for the instruction of girls in
domestic science and in baby care.
Baby Week, especially in small COM
munities, is frequently concerned with
little children as well as babies, and
several reports tell Of provision for
physical examination of children or of
new interest in wholesome play. AS
one woman wrote to the Children's bu-
reau after Baby Week:
"We feel that the danger from con-
tagious diseases, the need of n strict
quarantine, the danger from flies, bad
milk, unclean stables, and bad farm
sanitation need publicity in rural COM
munities. Our whole county does not
boast of one kindergarten, and the idea
VI lHe Nulue u pay loI CIliluieIl, DotA
young and older, Is very poorly under
stood. A popular proverb in these
parts is Only babies and monkeys need
amusing 1t was very interesting to
see the play-hungry children hover
over the toy exhibit and to watch them
as they listened to the primary teacher
tell them stories. The young mothers
who brought their children seemed so
interested, and so frankly acknowl-
edged the helpfulness Of the work, that
1t seemed altogether worth WHILE"
And last but not lease, Baby Week
has usually led to better understands
ing of the child-hygiene work of the
state health authorities. Four states
have special child-hygiene divisions;
and several others are doing extensive
work for children. Nearly all Of the
states have special bulletins or leaf
lets on baby care. To show parents
how and where authoritative material
on the care of their children can be
secured free of charge, and to make
community eager to cooperate with
state health officials in their work for
child welfare would be by itself SUBJ
stantial result from Baby Week.

In a box on the rear end OF his
delivery wagon the boy was hauling
a peck OF potatoes. a prime roast and
other foodsiuff In lodging the no

to cut his car at such a sharp angle
that the box was sent crashing to the
pavement. The roast struck directly
on the car track and refused TO move
farther. The potatoes rolled in all
directions. most OF them finding a
resting place in the car tracks.
The delivery wagon dashed on.

press Dissatisfaction at

city. will be dispatched TO these dilapi-
dated parts OF the line with instruc-
tons TO tear out all tracks
Yesterday morning during the usual
Tuesday session of the board OF city
commissioners the matter Of street
car service was brought up, as usual
for It's share OF the two hours meet
ing.
The mayor and other city officials
had just been informed that hundreds
OF dollars worth of water mains were
being eaten up annually by "raiding"
electricity which escaped from tho
street car rails. They were not in a
good humor at any rate. and when II
was suggested by an indignant tax
payer that several crossings in the
city We're badly In need OF repairs the
city fathers began to express their
favorite method of execution for the
offending street car lines.
Mayor Simmons favored a plan
whereby the city workmen would be
sent to the crossings, with instruc-
tons TO tear them out and pile them
in scrap heap. Commissioner Funk
favored an appeal to the state cor
poration commission, which would
prevent the company from operating
in this city until the lines were placed
in condition, while Attorney Meserve
waited for the talk to develop into
action, declaring that he would fol-
low any course the mayor and COM

AS result of the rather informal
expression Of opinions by the mayor
