HEAD OF THE BOY SCOUTS

Mr. James E. West, chief Scout executive of the Boy Scouts of Amer ica, was born in Washington, D. C., on May 16, 1876. He was left an or phan before he had known what real home is and was placed in the Washington City Orphan asylum. Young West worked his way through the business high school and later was graduated from tine law school of the National university. MT. Vest took up the child rescue campaign conducted by the Delineator Magazine. Here he found a splendid avenue for carrying into effect his creed that there is a childless home for every homeless child. As a direct result over 2,000 children were placed in good homes.
 Mir West has carried into his work for the Boy Scouts of America all the enthusiasm of zealot or crusader. but at the same time he is intensely practical. He is aggressive, alert, able. energetic and resourceful. From nine in the morning until twelve at night he may be found at the national head quarters of the Boy Scouts in New

WAR EMBLEMs FOR SCOUTS.

All Boy Scouts of America who se- cured ten or more individual subscrip- tions from different homes for Lib erty loan bonds are entitled to war service emblems. The same is true of Scouts who have secured the cultiva- ton of ten gardens or the increased acreage of ten gardens.
 Reports received up to date by the national headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America show that over 10- GOO troops of Scouts participated in the bond campaign and that approxi- mately 10000 medals have been won.
 Sales of Liberty bonds were made to about 150,000 individuals, and the aggregate value of the bonds disposed of was approximately $24,000,000.
 It is expected that the United States treasury department seal will be on the war service emblem and that the emblems will be sent to a federal judge, United States district attorney or to postmaster in each district and pre- sented to the Scouts by these officials in the name of the secretary of the treasury with appropriate ceremony. A most stimulating effect toward this young citizenship will be the net and permanent result.

 He is a big, broad-shouldered man, having an ideal build for football player. His eyes are clear and have | wonderful faculty for immediately sig ing up the situation. The heavy, square jaw speaks of unlimited perse- verance, and his thick mop of brown hair, always in confusion, is flecked here and there with white. This is the only way in which he shows the enormous strain under which he is constantly working.
 Energy, perseverance and unfaggfnS industry are his dominant traits. He has ever been a leader in his own sphere of activity, and he has ever made good in the tasks allotted to him.
