Thanks to the pushfril, pervasive
motor car, American road building has
"got d move on" at last. There Is ev-

back has been that, as yet, there has
been no coordination Of these multi

Of the National Highways association.
Charles Henry Davis, In recent paper
stated that we spent last year $249,-
955,987, or more than two-thirds' the
total Of money expended so far on the
construction of the Panama canal
for road improvements throughout the
country. Mr.. Davis contention Is that

He would have the federal government
build a system of national roads join

Of the country, as is the case with the

helpful ways.
Their knowledge Of forestry and
workmanship enabled the boy scouts
of Harwick, VT, to find woman who
had wandered off into the woods. The
boy scouts tracked her through the
woods and found her lying numb and
cold In the rain beside log on ledge
Of rock by a cliff.

Keighley has awakened to interna-
tional fame because its $4,000 inhabi-
tants have voluntarily reduced their
bread ration to the lowest In the c0un-
try, namely, 81 pounds, as against 4
pounds per head allowed by the food
controller.
American advertising methods turn
ed the trick in Keighley. Posters in
every shop widow, advertisements in
the press, innumerable pamphlets-by
these means the entire population had
been drawn into a hearty cooperation
with such astonishing food economy
that the town has been officially held
up as a model for all the United King
dom.
The boy scouts have also been en-
listed In the war on waste, and report
regular all their discoveries Of still
useful things cast on the rubbish
heaps. Not so much as tin can or old
piece OF cloth is thrown away In Keigh-
ley.

SCOUTS AT FORT SHERIDAN

"Be prepared" is the scout motto,
and Judging by the way the boy scouts
detailed at Fort Sheridan conducted
themselves, they live up to 1t, When
nearly four thousand candidates ar
rived at the training camp, the scouts
work had been so thoroughly organized
and planned that there was no confu-
sion. Every boy had received careful
instruction In his duties and had been
required to memorize the correct an
swers. to some Of the more common
questions Of candidates. The boys
went Vn duty at seven In the morning,
and many did not leave their posts
except for meals until nine ut night.
"From the time the candidates got
Off the trains to the time they were
issued their uniforms. they saw scouts,
asked questions Of scouts, and learned
to depend upon scouts for nearly all
their information" said Captain Kee-
ley. At the railway stations oil trains
were met by the boys and the candi-
dates were directed to the registration
Office. There other scouts helped to
keep them In line and directed them
to their companies after they had been
assigned.
OF course, besides these special jobs,
the scouts carried on their regular
work OF acting as orderles Mt the ad.
jutant's office, quartermasters Office,
office Of the senior instructor, and at
many Of the company headquarters.
The scouts had house In officers
row for their own use.

SCOUTING SPIRIT DID IT.

With every reason to feel proud of
membership in the Boy Scouts Of
America because of the gracious words
of President Wilson as well as the
commentator Of Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo, II behooyes all In
scouting to guard against having this
very thing negative influence to
boys.
The spirit that should be encouraged
Is often expressed by the scout who is
doing a heroic act or an especially
meritorious good turn makes light OF
the effort to bestow praise upon him
and dismiss the subject with the char
acterization, "Oh, shucks any scout
would do this" or II was simply doing
my duty"
After all. the achievement was made
possible because Of two factors: first,
organization, and, second, the spirit
Of scouting.
