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
trefoil refers to the three points in the
scout oath; that the scroll with up
turned ends suggests smile. for "a
scout is cheerful" and the knot is to
remind the boy to do "a good turn
daily" -----",-s~~..as..
This satisfies the requirements Of
the test, but II Is In fact only a small
part Of the significance Of the scout
badge. 1t Is possible that when the
first scout wore the first badge II 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 strange
place wearing a scout badge will not
depend on chance In selecting his COM
panions. The scout badge and certi-
ficates give an entree to the compan-
ionship Of scouts; In other words, II
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.

SCOUT ACTIVITIES.

A scout can kindle fire In the for
est the wettest day and he seldom
uses more than one match. When no
matches can be had he can still have a
fire, for he knows the secret of the rub
bling sticks used by the Indians, and
he knows how to start a blaze with
only his knife blade and a piece of
flint. He knows. also, the danger of
forest fires, and he kindles blaze that
will not spread. The fire once started,
what a meal he can prepare out there
In the open! Just watch him and COM
pare his appetite with that Of a boy
who lounges at a lunch counter In a
crowded city. He knows the unwrit-
ten rules of the campfire and he con-
tributes his share to the pleasures OF
the council. He also knows when to
sit silent before the rudy embers and
give his mind free play.
A troops of Boy Scouts In Lexington.
by quick work, saved the household
goods Of s. Il. Mattingly. Mr.. Mat
tingly's residence was outside the fire
limits and as a consequence the house
was burned to the ground. The house.
however. was insured. but the furni-
ture was not. Mr.. Mattlngly has ex-
pressed his gratitude TO the scouts.
A scout is kind TO everything that
lives. He knows that horses, dogs and
cats have their rights. and he respects
them. A scout prides himself upon
doing good turns" and no day In his
life is complete unless he has been Of
aid to some person.

INDEPENDENCE SQUARE.
DseIaration's Birthplace Associated
With Nation's History. =

Independence square, the most
famous square In Philadelphia, at one
time was known as the Statehouse
gardens, the resort Of fashionable city
people.
As soon as the news Of the battle of
Lexington and Concord reached Phila.
delphia more than 5000 Of the citizens
assembled in Independence square ito
associate for the purpose of defending
with arms their property, liberty and
lives" and it was from here that the
first state quota was mustered into
service for the army Of the Revolution.
In May, 1776, an immense meeting was
held, notwithstanding a heavy rain, to
consider the authority Of the people
and to form a new government.
All during the civil war Independ-
ence square continued to be the
meeting place Of town folk to decide
upon the measures necessary to be
taken to defend the state, and here the
people thronged to celebrate the fan
of Richmond and mourn for Lincoln.

SCOUTS
SCOUTS CANNOT BE FROZEN
Conducted by National Council OF tn
Boy Scouts OF America)

Scout spirits, like the spirits they
use In spirit thermometers, cannot be
frozen. There have been scout camps
the past winter In every state where
there was snow. In the Rockies, In the
Alleghenies. from coast to coast, the
crisp crust has crumbled beneath the
shoes of sturdy scouts, hiking, pack
sack on back, for the winter camps.
Just as comfortable ms In summer.
they all report, good water-tight shoes,
loose warm underwear and stockings,
plenty OF good grub, tent, cabin, or
shack for shelter, and it's an expert
ence never to be forgotten.

good! How the trees crack All the

mole, beast, bird and-if you cut
through the ice-fish, all wondering
what has happened, all glad to have
company. Maybe a bear or deer has
been nosing round the kitchen. Like
boys. they have an instinct for finding
the "eats."

the satisfaction of Drawing the cold.
A famous Arctic explorer made his
men break the ice on a hogshead of
water and take dip every morning.
Maybe this will come next In the

In 1906 he was ordained a priest of
the Protestant Episcopal Church and
settled down for his life work in
