Boy Scouts Of America.)
CALL ISSUED FOR LEADERS

! A number Of scout officials have
been forced to give up active work be-
cause of their membership In the Ma.
tlonal Guard or through enlistment In
the officers training corps and other
organizations. Undoubtedly n number
of men Will be drafted in cddition to
those who havo already gone into one
service or another.
AT recent meeting of the executive
board Of the Roy Scouts of America
II was determined to continue as mem.
bers of the Boy Scouts OF America,
with the same rank and privileges, all
scout officials In government service.
The national council Of the Boy
Scouts of America has issued an ap-
peal for 100000 volunteers, eighteen
years old and over, to take care of
the new recruits which are pouring in.
For the last few weeks headquarters
has enrolled an average Of over 1900
boys a day.
The scout movement at this time Is
utilizing all the power of a well.organ-
Ted force to increase food production
in the United States. The movement
is represented In nearly every city and
town Of LOCO population and over, and
as a consequence the work of the or
ganlzatlon will be big factor In the
1917 crop; but the needs Of America
and her allies at this time are enor-
nous, and the leaders df the scout
movement are determined to secure
leaders to take care Of every boy who
volunteers.
Officers Of the scout movement point
out that there are many patriotic men |
who want to do their "blt" but who (
cannot be accepted for active service
nj the front because Of physical dis.
ability or because they have depend.
ents. Many of these men have the
necessary qualifications to serve as
Scoumasters. All such are requested

lnce to the representative of the Boy
Scouts Of America In their neighbor-

II was also explained that n number
VI the scout officials are volunteering
or active service and this increases
he immediate need for men to take up
scouting in order that all troops may
ave adequate competent leadership.
The program Cor the summer Is full
II activity and opportunity for real
service.

SCOUTS SHOW PREPARATION.

Scout troops in all parts of the coun-
try recently marched to the offices OF
the mayors of their respective cities
and towns, and let the authorities
know that they were prepared, by their
scout training, to be of such service at
home as might be necessary. The serv-
Ice suggested included messenger
work, sending messages by wire, wire
less or semaphore, cooperating in the
protection of property, assisting relief
workers, and so forth. In preparation
for any quick call because of an emer-
gency, the Scouts everywhere have
practlced mobilization.

When Fashions Came.

In the reign Of Charles II, woman
had her first riding habit; before that
date mounting gallant steed In any
costume the spirit moved her to wear.
The new habit was extremely man
nish, not to say ugly, being composed
Of doublet, coat with long skirts
and a tall hat.s The Queen Anne pc
riod saw the eager welcome Of the reti-
cule, grandmother of oil sorts and con-
ditions of bags. The custom of en-
phasizing the trimmings on the left
side Of milady's hat, frequently of
placing all the trimming on that side,
has Its origin in the position of the
knights plume that was never put on
the right side lest 1t might be in the
way Of his uplifted sword. In border
and in lining fur graced many Of the
earliest garments, but 1t did not spring
into general popularity until the thir-
teenth century. Sable and ermine-
from Herminia, the modern Armenia
was reserved for kings and nobility.

cotton and are dressed in cotton ia

In the Uncle Sam doll the ball Is
used for the head-but in the other
one it makes the body. This doll Is
dressed in blue eiderdown and has a
row Of the tiniest pearl buttons down
It's rotund tummy. When the ball Is
punched the doll squeals-much to the

proof positive that the fellow was still

He had not reached the open, or flung
himself into the sea. Masters could

have slipped down the ladder unob-

way. There was no other entrance to
the engineroom the forward bulkhead
was solid; there were two ventilator
shafts, but neither was large enough
for the passage Of a mans body, and
the coal chute was kept closed and
locked at sea. Nevertheless had these
