SCOUT PRINCIPLES

First of all, boy who becomes O
member of the Boy Scouts of America
must take an oath. That's perfectly
natural thing. The Knights of the
Round Table swore an oath and so did
the pirates that sailed the Spanish
Main! So the Boy Scout pledges him
self:
I. To do my duty to God and my
country and obey the Scout Law.
2. To help other people at all times.
3. To keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake and morally
straight
The Scout Law referred to In the
oath covers twelve points: A Scout
Is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friend
ly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheer
full, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Rever-
ent.
There are virtues that appeal to the
spirit of chivalry that lives In tho
heart of every boy, and when enhanced
by the SucrcdncSS of solemn bOyiSh
oath they have u gripping appeal that
works wonders in the growing char
acter. With these virtues firmly plant
ed in boys mind and habit of his
daily life during his formative years,
there Is little danger of his forSaking
them entirely in later life.
These virtues are made vital by d
program Of activities which gives
boy an opportunity to put them into
actual practice. He is given commits
SionS to perform and is trusted ION
his honor rs Il scout" to carry them in

others is emphasized by encouraging
scouts to do ~ good turn" to somebody
every day. This "good turn" idea is
taken very seriously. 1t has inspired
thousands of boys 10 the point where
they volunteer to W .lSh dishes and tend
babies. And there can be no Severcr
test than that! Tie idea of thrift Is
driven home by requiring scout to
earn and deposit money in bank be-
fore he can advance from the rank OF
Tenderfoot to that of Second Class
Scout and from the latter to the COW
eted position OF First Class Scout.
bravery is expected of scouts as
mntter of course moral bravery as
we'll as bravery Of spirit.
The scout principles are made In
teresting by hiking, camping, first aid,
knot tying, wu0dcraft handicrnft, pio-
neering, and all the other things OF
the same character that boys like to
do. But no activity is included In the
Boy Scout program without good
reason; each must serve its purpose
in contributing something to the char
acter development of the boy. Scout
activities and the scout oath and law
are so closely interviewer that 1t Is
impossible to separate them.

LEMONS WHITEN AND
BEAUTIFY THE SKIN
Make This Beauty Lotion Cheaply
For Your Face, Neck, Arms
And Hands.

At the cost Of a small jar of ordi-
cold cream one can prepare a full
quarter pint of the most wonderful
lemon skin softcncr and complexion
beautificr, by squeezing the juice Of
two fresh lemons into bottle con-
tanning three ounces of orchard white.
Care should be taken to strain the
juice through fine cloth so no lemon
pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep
fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such blcmishcs as
frecklcs, sallowncss ard tan and is
the ideal skin softener, wntener and
beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. 1t is marvellous to smoother
rough, red hands. Adv. 2

HAVEN OF MANNED
Palace of Bourbon Kings of
Naples Is Put to Use.
There Mutilated Soldiers Of Italy Arc
Housed and Taught Some Means
of SeIf-Support.

The war has turned the palace Of
the Bourbon kings of Naples into u
home for mutilated soldiers. Around
the exquisite marble table where the
guests Of the "Roi Soleil" of Naples
dined In the garden on hot summer
nishts-the ladies in powdered head
dress and panler skirts, the men with
lace at their sleeves and embroidered
coats-today are gathered the pitiable
fragments Of humanity that war has
left in its wake. There are neither
candles nor massive silver, neither
sweetmeats nor rare wines. The Ital-
ian government allows 20 cents per
day for their lodging and mainten-
ance, and food IS high in Naples.
The marble table on warm days in
the gardens is the recreation center of
the mutilated, in their worn and faded
uniforms. Before each is an oblong
cardboard placard, some of whose
spaces are numbered. One Of the men
Che must be one Of those who have
lost q leg, for the One-armed cannot
do the tricky shakes basket-bottle
and turns out numbered counter
In the sing-song Neapolitan dialect, he
cries the number. The one whose
placard bears 1t. covers the space
with a bit of glass. Whoever covers
all his spaces first wins a cent from
each of the others.
Those who have no hands ut all
have grown wondrously skillful at flip
ping their bits Of glass onto the
placard by means of bent pin stuck
In the empty sleeve.
This is recreation. There are also
hours of work. Once sumptuous
chambers of the royal palace have
been turned into schoolrooms, in the
month that the hospital has been run
ming. In one, those who wish are
taught tailoring, In another shoemak-
ing-the legless naturally, for one
must have two hands to make shoes
and clothes. Those who have lost

writing. But many Of the latter must

learn to read and write first. For

SOUTH CAROLINA IS ALLOTTED
S8,500,000 OF LIBERTY BONDS
EVERY FARMER, MERCHANT, CLERK, BUSINESS
MAN, APPEALED TO BY STATE COMMITTEE
TO BUY A BOND ON JUNE S.

Columbia, 8. c., Especial. )-"Do
your bit Buy a bond for liberty and
the ultimate peace of the world" is
the message which is being sent broad
cast over the state by the Liberty
Loan Committee for South Carolina, Of
which Edwin w. Robertson, is chair.
man.
Already there has been a wide re-.
sponse from many directions. Thou
sands OF people have made applica.
tion through state and national banks
for bonds in denominations ranging
from $50 to $1,000. But since the al
lotment for South Carolina is $S,5OO,-
600, there are great many more to
be disposed Of before the state will
have done its duty.
Central committees to promote the
sale Of the bonds have been appoint
ed In each county OF the state. Men
everywhere are giving their time and
efforts toward helping the govern
ment float this loan; knowing well
that the fate OF the country, and pee
haps OF the war, is resting upon this
bond issue. The banks have also pu.
their shoulders to the wheel Practi-
cally every bank Is In a position to
accept applications for bonds, and
every man who wishes to subscribe
has only to apply to his banker.
The appeal which the Liberty Loan
Is making 70 the farmers. merchants
and business mon Is not only patri-
otic; though the committee feels that
every man should want to support his
government to the extent Of buying a
bond. 1t is also a business proposi-
ton; and Liberty bond Is right now
one Of the best and surest investments
that a man can make.
The government has got to buy corn
and cotton in quantities never before
heard OF. These supplies have got to
come from the fields and farms OF
South Carolina along with the rest of
the country. Therefore. the money
that a farmer puts in the loan, comes
back to him as actual cash in immense
purchases of the things which he
raises. In this way he not only gets
a 1-2 per cent return on his bonds.
but he also gets the actual money
back for the products OF his farm.
Just as the banks make their money
by financing the farmer just so the
farmer Is now In position to make
money by financing the government
No matter how this situation Is
faced. whether from sentiment or from
hard common sense. the move is a
good one.

Human Fly Plays
On Wall In CliuIb
Up Court ouse

In a daredevil exhibition that sent
thrills and chills through hundreds OF
spectators as they looked on with awe
and with mouths gaped, Reginald Bel
mont, who calls himself the Human
Fly, scaled the walls of Crisp county
court house today shortly after 2:30.
He claimbed the building from the
bottom to top, mounting the slate COW
cred dome in less than seven minutes
The exhibition of this steel-fngered
athlete shows that he fears death in
no way. When he neared the top Of
the structure, he purposely let his feet
slip. The crowd below caught their
breath and gasped with horror, expect
ing to see him dashed to the pave
ment below.
Climbing to the top of the flag pole
on the dome, he balanced himself on
his stomach on top the pole, and with
arms and legs suspended, dangled in
mid air Then as defying death, he sat
upon the top of the pole with arms
free.
One of the daring feats that he per-
formed during the climb was that on
reaching the first high ledge he hung
on one elbow and swung back and
forth in mid air. Not satisfied with
this feat, to add additional thrills, he
balanced himself on the hind leg of
a chair on the edge of the building
On reaching the dome the climber
hung up side down. suspended by the
toes of one foot only. The crowd
drawn by his performance filled Sew
enth street and Thirteenth avenue for
block each way. Before he began
the climb he took collection in the
course of which he proved himself a
regular Billy Sunday at kidding his
audience into a proper frame of mind
He announced that he would make
The climb again at 7:30. Belmont is
said to have formerly been with a cir

He explained to his onlookers the
nature of his hazardous ascent before

devil suit, hood horns and all other
accessories and in this garb he look
ed the part of the dare devil that he is.
The Human Fly by means of his pow
erfuI toes and fingers made his way
and applauded by the audi
ence. Frequent. calls of encourage
ment were offered by the spectators.
