asked if it were not possible they

anything is possible nowadays.

A BADGE OF HONOR.

One Of the first things a boy scout
must learn is the significance of the
scout badge, and in compliance with
this requirement he learns that the
trefo1i refers to the three points in the
scout oath; that the scroll with up
turned ends suggests a smile, for "a
scout is cheerful" and the knot is to
remind the boy to do "a good turn
daily
This satisfies the requirements of
the test, but it is in fact only small
part of the significance Of the scelt
badge. 1t is possible that when the
first scout wore the first badge it meant
not much more than is stated in the
handbook, but with every year, as the
movement builds up history and tradi-
tons and a record Of things accom-
plished, the significance of the scout
badge grows.
Today the boy who goes to a strange
place wearing scout badge will not
depend On chance in selecting his COM
panions. The scout badge and certi-
fcates give an entree to the compan-
ionship Of scouts; in other words, it
leads to the companionship Of boys
who are trustworthy and loyal who
are courteous and clean and reverent
the type of boy with whom any par
ent is glad TO have his boy associated

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 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 a 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-

ments, demCnstra lions, ETC.. and go
into camp every summer under trained
directors.
In hundred ways the boys time is
occupied. The program Is so varied
and so fascinating to the boy that he
simply hasn't time or opportunity 70
trail with an idle gang or to turn into
the evils that beset the path Of the idle
boy.
The boy scout Is taught courtesy,
honor, humanity, kindliness, chiyalry
and service, and to exercise them at
home, in school and outside, and such
practical activities as first-aid, life
saving, cooking, swimming, etc.
The boy scout must do "good turn"
daily.
The only membership cost is an an
nual regis tration fee of Is cents. The
boy scout is taught thrift. He must
earn the money for his own scout ex-
penses.
City officials often cooperate with
scout leaders, permitting the scouts to
enjoy, as they do, the privilege OF as
sist1ng in honorable, safe ways in con-
nection with big demonstrations. On
each occasion scouts are responsible

tract just hang around" getting in
the way if not actually into mischief.

ROOM FOR $4,000 CAMPERS.

When the work of W. A. WEIGH, en-
gineer for the Palisades Interstate
park, has been completed there will
be accommodations for $4,000 campers
On the lakes near Greater New York.
The park has been carefully planned,
SO that the camp sites will be suitable
for those for whom they are intended.
The scouts Of Greater New York will
be camped on one big lake, which is
being made by joining three other
lakes together. Car pond will be
turned over to the Big Brothers and
70 the Society for Improving the Con-
1tion of the Poor.
1t is proposed, as soon as accommo-
iations are arranged, to try out a new
type Of camp which has proved sue
cess In Los Angeles and Seattle. This
viii be neighbour God camp. Small
buildings are being prepared to take
care or families so chat those who de-
sire to live in the oIen during the sum-
mer Will have an Opportunity to do So.
The spot set aside ;or the scout camp
Is In the very center of the park, the
widest part of the country. 1t offers
opportunities for the hikes and wood
craft which all scouts love.

scouts who rise thcir lives in Saving
others is called upon to consider. only
three or four cases a month and in
most of these the person rescued is not
a 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 III learning the meth
DDS by which rescues may be effected.
A scout who was thoughtful enough
to carry coil Of rope al his belt when
he went skating saved a boy who
broke through the ice One of the
youngest scouts saved a child from
bleeding to death from an artery Sc
vered by piece Of broken china on a
beach. His scoutmaster had taught
him how to apply a tourniquet, using
handkerchief and a stick. During
the reunion of the veterans of the war
Of the states at Gettysburg, at the re-
view in Washington in 1915, and on
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 a knowledge of
the means of quickly finding medical
aid. Many scout has gone to the as
sistance of a drowning person, released
himself from death grip, fought his
way to safety with q 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 it's boy population
| deserves the same fate as the man wh0
| goes without fire and accident and
| health insurance.

VIM. WAGNER SUICIDES
lie lives His Reasons in Long Letter That He
Had Witten April 4th

1t will be remembered that a Mrs.
Lillian Wagner had an unsavory case
in court recently, against James
Walsh who is now serving time in the
Green Bay reformatory.
1t appears that she is the deserted
wife of VIM. Wagner, who resides at
Pittsville, Wis The last seen of VIM.
Wagner, the deceased, was on April
Z, last. His body was not discovered
by the neighbors until Wednesday ev-
ening about seven o'clock. He was
found in his bed with the top of his
head blown off by rifle ball, 32-4O.
From his position it looked as if he
had held the end of the rife barrel
with his left hand against his fore
head and the butt end against his
feet and with his right hand pulled
the trigger, blowing the top of his
head off. He performed this act some
time between Saturday when he was
last seen about the place and Wednes-
day night when he was found about Sc

Flag means all of that.

Flag means all Of that.
But it means more; more than war
| remember long ago sitting on a farm
house lawn. A little group of men
were arguing with old Gus Helmke,
he who always had flag on his house.
One of them a native born American
was saying, ''but, Gus, I tell you this
country is going to the dogs. 1t is
the worst on earth. The capitalists"
And right now can hear old Gus say,
Listen, I'll tell what that means to
me-"
''In the Fatherland I must work al
ways, like a dog. If I saw a soldier
or gentleman, I must take off my
hat and bow to him Here I bow only
to the preacher; and | have meat on
my table every day in the week. I
am as good as any person here and my
son can become Governor or more if
he has the brains. That's what the
Flag means to me! Now-raus!"
can see Gus's flag and hear him or
dering the socialists to 'raus' whenev-
er I see a flag here.
And then l have heard old Roscoe's
story, the story of his Jew bookkeeper
can see old Roscoe even now, putting
at his cigar and telling US the story
that Isaac had told him Isaac was
born in Russia, his father and wife
were killed in a massacre Of the Jews
He himself was hunted. He fled to
Austria, and was turned over to the
Russian police. And then he fed a
gain, to Scotland this time, where he
worked while for a Glasgow mer-
chant, who warned him however, that
as soon as the Russian police learned
of his whereabouts he would be Civ
en- up by the English government. and
so the unhappy fellow had come to A
merica. At Ellis Island a Russian of
fcer met him, but was told by a Gus.
J toms man that the United States gave
up no political refugees. The Russian
went home without even putting 6
formal plea to the officials. And so
when I see a flag I think of the Get.
tysburg flag that old Mr.. Brown usee
to tell of, of Gus Helmke's flag, and Of
the flag in the Jew bookkeeper's but
