BOY
SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council Of the Boy
scouts OF America
HOW SCOUTS PASS TESTS

The first session of the new Court
Of Honor of the boy scouts of Min
neapolis was held in the court room OF
Judge Hale, when 80 scouts from diff
ferent troops came to be examined In
signaling, first aid, compass, thrift, ma
iure study, etc.
Judge Edward L. Waite reminded
the scouts that passing scout tests does
not mean they are experts in the sub.
jects In which they are examined.
I'VE have been "A nation of spend.
ers," said l.. S. Swenson, rs the exam
liner in thrift. "Now times are differ.
ent and we must be different. We must
earn money, save more and doing that
Will not only help us personally-it
will prove tremendous help to win
the war"
DIR. c. NJ. Roam. in charge of the
first aid work, said: an emergencies
stay by the man injured even If you
can't help him very much; don't get
excited. Learn your first aid thor
oughly so that when you come to take
charge Of n case you won't have to
spend too much time wondering what
to do-for in the meantime the patient
may be beyond help"
Lieut.. George A. Treadwell, U. S. N,
sent Chief Quartermasters A. A. Mick
elson and William Esterley to examine
the scouts in compass and signaling.
The scouts passed total of 81 tests
before the court; not one failure was
recorded. The elminers expressed
surprise over the amount Of practical
knowledge the scouts had acquired
and the interest and alertness they
showed in everything.

Six months ago, Mary Blank ap-
peared to be well-nigh hopeless
victim of tuberculosis She went to
an excellent sanatorium and became
a very faithful patient. Her progress
was so satisfactory that she began to
think that she was as good as cured.
After she had been out of the sana-
forum for six weeks, she consulted
her physician to see if he was salts
fed that she was making as good pro-
gress as she should. She saw by the
expression on his face that she was
not.
"YOu don't think I ought to re-enter
a sanatorium, do you, Doctor?" she
asked. Eyes, 1 do" he replied, land
what is more, you think so yourself
and down in your secret heart you are
anxious to get back. You have found
out, now that you have left the sana-
forum, how happy you were there
Isn't that SOP"
eyes, it is. 1t was good to be home
at first but gradually it has become
evident that l am upsetting the home
and the home is upsetting me- Every
body else is so healthy and, of course,
their notion of a home is a place man
aged for their own kind They have
been kindness itself and try to re-
member my needs, but that makes me
even more uncomfortable
"At the sanatOrium we all have
about the same requirements. When
everybody goes to bed early, it would
be hard to stay up. When everybody
has rest hour, resting is the natural
thing.
Its not good for healthy people to
be held in check by an invalid. 1t is
not good for invalids to be stimulated
into doing the things that mean life
to the healthy, but death to the con-
sumptive. If 1 stayed on at home, I'd
gradually take up the activities of my
strong brothers, sisters, and friends,
rather than continue to be black
sheep in family Of white ones.
Il have learned enough to know that
that would mean death for me. That
would be better than being an out
cast. But in the sanatorium, l can
complete my cure and enjoy living
with my own kind while l am doing
So"

At the Theatres

Miss Alice Gale, who plays the part
of the Gypsy Queen in 1.-The Darling of
Paris William Fox production to
be shown at the Classic Tuesday, has
been one of the leading members of
the dramatic stage for some years.
When a young girl Miss Gale played
with Joseph Jefferson and Edwin
Booth. She was later associated with
Drew, Marlowe, Sothern and many
others. Miss Gale has been associated
with the William Fox players for some
time and is well known for her excel
lent acting, no matter what parts may
be assigned to her. She has a strong
part in "The Darling of Paris" repre-
senting the Gypsy Queen.
70 "Rasputin, the Black Monk" will be
the attraction at the Majestic Tues
day. Gregory Novik IafterWard Ras-
putin) is strange, ambitious, mag
netic young brute, devoid of con-
science and gifted with a virile hyp-
motto power over women. His lustfuI
eyes feast upon all presentable women
and his wierd force draws them into
his passionate clutch. Gregory is of
Russian peasant origin, intensely dis
liked by his fellow villagers, toward
the most of whom he cherishes a.
virulent hostility.
Lovers Of clean cut, incisive photo
dramas with all the thrills of the old
"melodramish" type and. yet new ap-
peal of the realest sort of human in
terest-the sort that make a lump
gather in ones throat the while one is
laughing, will be interested to know
that William S. Hart, famous western
actor, is to be the attraction at the
Classic tonight. The story is a virile
one and is superbly characterized in
Harris own inimitable manner. "Helps
Hinges" is the title of the picture.
Famous for his wardrobe, both of
Feminine fripperies and mems tailor
made clothes, Julian Eltinge, the lat
est addition to the rostrum of Para
mount stars, has exceeded in gor-
geousness and splendor any outfit he
has ever worn in his feminine imper-
sonation even on the legitimate stage
in his first photoplay, "The Countess
Charming" which will be shown again
at the Majestic tonight.
