BOY SCOUTS ARE
 ORGANIZING NOW,
 PLANNING DANCE

Headquarters of the proposed or ganization of Boy Scouts has been established in a tent adjoining the A. B. Hall and active recruiting will be started Monday morning. Several of the boys who propose to become members have already visited the headquarters and were taken for a practice hike The laws of Scout were read to them that they might better understand the purpose and meaning of the organization.
 Tickets for the big benefit dance which is to be given on April 18th are going fast and the town is being covered by boys with tickets. The committee in charge has requested that as rapidly as possible people obtain their tickets because the com mittee wishes to ascertain as to the reasonable amount that can be de pended upon to be raised.

Call for EnIistmentS Is Sent Forth for Men and Women To
 Join Now.
CHARTER IS ASKED FOR
Urgent Demand Is Made for Members to at Once Begin Work
 Upon Supplies.

Quickly acting on the suggestion Societies be immediately organized throughout the United States and all Territories in order. that funds may be raised and supplies furnished for the boys of the army and navy, the organization committee of the Juneau Red Cross Chapter of the American National Red Cross met yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs P. J. Malone and the following officers were elected: Chairman, Mrs. P. J. Malone; vice chairman, Mrs. w. s. Pullen of Thane; treasurer, Mrs. R. W. Jennings, and secretary, Miss Marguerite Green.
 But the start has only been made and the officers are powerless to render the aid desired unless there is an immediate and large member ship to the local chapter. The char ter has been sent for and this is expected to be sent to Juneau with in two weeks, but the officers do not want to lose one day in organization and in completing the plans that are required to meet the demands nee essary.
 Men and women can join the Red Cross Chapter for the sole purpose of the chapter is to raise funds, make bandages and other numerous sup plies needed for soldiers in action. Membership in the Red Cross Society means work, but not on the battle field or even with enlisted soldiers in their mobilization camps The members of the chapters are re quired solely to produce those things injured and wounded men need.
 Already a box of samples has been received by the local chapter and last night the city council au. thorized that suitable quarters be pro vided for the chapter in the City Hall for it's work.
 Chairman Malone announced to day that members are now wanted The recruiting" station will be at the city library, Miss Green being first officer in charge, and at Thane, the Red Cross recruiting flag will float from the residence of Mrs. w.. s. Pullen and she will be ready at any time to enlist women or men from that section in the good and most worthy cause.
 Enlist" in the sense of the local chapter, designates the services of the signers as the home guard for relief to those at the front Recruits can enlist right nOw-and a couple of hundred are wanted. It is up to the ladies of the Capital City and the mining interests of Thane to rally rally at once, so that their deeds, their enthusiasm will be the ind1cat' ed action of spontaneity in the pres ent crisis.

ASKS QUARANTINE STATION FOR
 ALASKA
Memorial Introduced in House by Mccormack Addressed to
 Congress.
NEEDS ARE MANIFOLD

resolution introduced in the Ter ritorial House by Representative P. C. Mccormack asks that Congress pass an appropriation for the estab- lishment of a quarantine station some where in Alaskan waters.
 The memorial sets out that the on ly feasible means of approach to Alaska is by the sea, that the popu- lation of this Territory is rapidly in- creasing and that the movement of people and commerce into the Terri tory has more than doubled within the past ten years that 1917 vessels entered the port of Ketchikan during the year 1916, that such vessels car red passengers numbering 27.52S, and crews numbering 60,000; and that the nearest quarantine station is located at Diamond Head, over 600 miles from the nearest Alaska port.
 The memorial states that vessels entering the ports of the Territory carrying persons afflicted with con tagious diseases must either keep the passengers on board ship, send them ashore and be confined in tenn porary and make-shift quarters, or the ship is ordered to return to Dia- mond Head.
 This is great source of danger to the health of the passengers and oth- CT residents of the Territory and that to return the ship to Diamond Head ic q cOurca Of proat eypoOSp tO the owners. great inconvenience to the passengers and crew, in addition tC adding to the ordinary hazards of the sea and the memorial asks that a suitable, adequate and proper guar antine station with all necessary wharves, buildings and attendants to be established at some convenient place within the Territory of Alas l ka."

ATLANTIC COUNTY
HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
To Hold Exhibition of Old Samplers
and Coyerlets.

The Atlantic County Historical So
ciety will have on Friday, May 25th,
at the Hotel Sothern, Virginia avenue,
an exhibition which should be of I'M
usual interest to all lovers of old and
are needle work.
The exhibit will consist of hand
made coverlets and samplers, loaned
by representatives of the old families
of Colonial New Jersey. Spinning of
flax and wool will be done by persons
skilled in the art. This work is some
thing we should all know more about,
as it has become practically a lost art.
All of the work was done in the homes
of these women. The flax and wool
was first prepared, then dyed with
vegetable colorings, and after a long
and tedious process finally woven by
hand looms into coverlets.
The exhibition will be open to the
public and all are cordially invited to
attend. Eight o'clock, May 25th, at
Hotel Sothern. Silver offering.

TOO oil AT FORTY?

That is a wall that always goes up
throughout the country. But a writer
in the June American Magazine says
it could be disregarded if people made
themselves more useful as they grew
older. He writes:
"For mar to be too old at forty is
not natural. Scientists tell us that
the life periods of mar compare with
the life history of the race.
Gin most businesses and professions
the period of mature manhood is com
monty the period of great skill. The
body still retains its elasticity; previ-
Gus training and acquired good habits
count in daily work; experience now
begins to return dividends. The in
dividual develops common sense, con-
servatism and de~liberation. He is less
likely to be swayed by the primitive
emotions of younger life. Well-laid

HOW TO PACK THE FREEZER.

In the June Woman's Home Com
panion Alice Bradley gives some prac-
teal directions about packing the ice
cream freezer.
"The freezer must be packed r
fully and accurately. Have ready a
basket or a pan of ice, finely and even
ly crushed, a box of coarse rock salt,
and a dipper or a saucepan holding
about a pint. Place three evenly
measured dippers of crushed ice in
the freezer tub, packing it down firm
ly. Over this put one evenly meas
ured dipper of rock salt. Repeat I'M
til the carefully measured layers of
ice and salt reach to a place on the
a higher than the mixture inside.
This proportion of three parts of ice
to n part of salt has been proven
to be the best for getting a fine
grained ice cream. Do not put in your
ice and salt without measuring and
n expect to get a perfectly frozen
product.
"The freezer may be left for about
five minutes after being packed, while
the ice begins to melt and the mixture
becomes chilled. When the ice and
salt have begun to work, it is time
to turn the crank. Begin by turning
it very slowly. A slow song on the
photograph makes a good accompani-
ment, for the slower the freezer crank
is turned for the first ten minutes the
finer grained will be the product"
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1917-05-19

investments in time, labor and money
begin to come in.
"But it is during this period that
the competition of newer workers in
the same field begins to be felt. The
apprentices in the trades, and stu
dents in the schools begin to get a
foothold in competition with the es-
tablished worker. And-what is of
vital importance-the beginner is will
ing to- work much cheaper than the
experienced man. Thus, experience
must guard against the under-cut.
at is in this period that the great
est displacement occurs. The unpro-
gressive, the dissipated, the timorous,
are pushed aside to make room for
those having more enterprise"
