Unlike most birds, the grebes do not
brood their eggs continually. 1t is only
at night and on cloudy days that you
Will find them at home. AS soon as the
sun has risen and warmed the chilly
morning air the old bird leaves her
nest and. collecting decaying vege-
tation from the shore or bottom Of the
lake she covers the eggs with a thick
layer and leaves the sweltering mass
Of steaming muck to match them
while she spends the day in idleness
or play.

DUTIES OF SCOUTS
IN WAR TIME
Trained For Wide Variety of
Service Under the
Flag

Members of the Boy Scouts of
America who are yet boys will not be
acceptable for military service because
our country will not permit boy to
do the work of a soldier, which re-
quires a matured and fully developed
man. This will not, however, restrain
boys who have had scout training from
rendering very definite service to their
country.
Every Boy Scout and every official
of the Boy Scout movement will leave
no room for doubt as to their patri-
otism and loyalty to the President and
the government of the United States.
From every Scout home will fly the
American, flag.
As troops or groups in our larger
cities, services of the Scouts will be
made available TO the civic authorities
| for either temporary or, in some cases.
! permanent service as the needs may
| make necessary.
Service of this character will in
clude:
| Distributing notices and gathering
| statistical information for the use OF
the civic and military authorities;
Cooperating in the protection OF
property by accepting definite assign
ments for the purpose of giving alarm
in case of danger;
Collecting information as to sup
plies:
Acting as messengers and orderlies;
| Cooperating with agencies organ
lied for relief effort, and
| Assuming some definite part in The
program of the American Red Cross
Society.
How to Do 1t.
In every scout center where there is
a local council and in all other CON-
munities, committees should be formed
without delay for the purpose of ten
dering through the proper authority
that is the Mayor, the services of the
Boy Scouts of America in accordance
with the foregoing.
With view of further preparing for
any possible emergency. it is suggested
that in every community where there
are two or more troops of scouts, thai
through the duly constituted authori-
ties, plans be made and actual practice
be had of mobilization of Scouts in the
shortest possible time.
In case of doubt by local committees
or local councils, or by individual
troops where they do not have the
benefit of such leadership, as to The
propriety of the Boy Scouts doing any
particular service. the National Head
quarters will gladly respond promptly
and when necessary by telegram to al
requests for advice.
Adequate AS Now Organized.
The Boy Scout Movement will prove
adequate for any emergency. Every
where our boys will do their duty t.
God and their country, and obey the
Scout Law.
They will help other people at al
times.
They will keep themselves physi
cally strong, mentally awake, ant
morally straight.
They will do their good turns daily
Every Scout will be trustworthy
loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous
kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave
clean and reverent. Every boy whit
becomes a Scout pledges himself to d.
these things.
Useful Things Scouts Can Do.
Because of their specific training tn,
Scouts will be prepared to do man.
useful things.
Every Scout who wears secont
