LAW PROTECTS SCOUT SUIT.

The matter of Scout suits has caused
the Boy Scouts of America a lot Of
trouble. Boys who were not Scouts
would get uniforms and often solicit
money or sell stamps or tag-day cards
or would chop trees and commit other
depredations that gave the movement
black eye. 1t finally got so bad that
members OF the congress of the United
States were asked to piss law pro-
hibiting anybody who is not a member
Of the organization from wearing the
uniform. This law congress has passed.
and the uniform Of the Boy Scouts Of
America is now given the same protec-
tion as that Of the army or navy or
the insignia Of the American Red Cross
society. SO 1t is unlawful for any boy
to wear his uniform after he ceases to
be a member of the Boy Scouts Of
America. When boy buys a uniform
he does so with the understanding that
he has right to wear II only as long
as he is actually member Of the or
ganization.
This law is so far-reaching In Its eff
feet that no manufacturer has right
TO call his product boy Scout" chew
Ing gum, "Boy Scout" coffee, or 'Boy
Scout" anything else. AT the same
time this law was passed there was
even brand OF boy Scout" cigarettes
on the market.

other, they had never kept going. Here
was chance to get into a movement
that would last, that would be more
enjoyable every year and In which we
could belong when we became men. So
our crowd Joined as charter members,
and seven are still In the Red Fox Pa
troll Of Troop 4, and several are plan
ming to become assistant sc0utmasters
shortly.
1.-THE leader Of the troop was our
Sunday school teacher, and he had TAX
en- us out camping several times and
had shown himself capable Of taking
care Of us and Of showing us things In
w00dcraft.
u had read Scout manual, and II
held stores Of new and wonderful
things to do. II showed how to signal
by whistle, flag or by fire; how to fol-
low trails by means Of marks and by
the position Of sticks and stones; how
to bandage any kind Of a wound; what
to do In case Of accidents or sudden
Illness; how to cook In the open and
how to make fire with rubbing sticks;
how to Identify trees, birds and AMI
mails. II seemed that Scouts must have
great times learning these things.
"How proud was the first time I |
wore my uniform. I couldn't help look
ing In the mirror few times. Other
less fortunate boys looking with en-
'ious eyes at my treasure, and I pa
ronlzlngly told them how many pock-
ITS 1t had, all about the dandy KNAPP
Jack and about the strong belt and Its
looks.
Last, but not least, the Scout Oath
md Law appealed to me. I had read
ome' tales Of King Arthur's Knights
md 1t seemed that here was my chance
o help other people at all times.
I'm very glad that I Joined the Boy
scouts Of America, as l have obtained
much fun, experience. and good from
lssoclatlng with Scouts and living the
scout law and oath"
