Boy Scouts Uniforms.

The increased use of the khaki uni- form by members of the United States army, militia, home defense leagues and various otEer men and boy organ izations makes it very desirable for us 10 safeguard our movement from un fair criticism due to confusion sand misunderstanding occasioRed by simi : larity of such uniforms to those worn by our own members.
 As has been announced previously, section 125 of the army rsorganization law specifically excepts only the Boy Scouts of America from the provisions restricting to the members of the U. S. army, navy and marine corps the right to wear uniforms peculiar to those branches of the government ser vics or similar thereto. Already the war department is beginning to enforce this law regarding the authorized wearing of such uniforms. It behooves us to cooperate with the war depart ment in any way within. our power
 With this end in view and in order that the Boy Scouts of America may be readily discovered and recognized at any time in case they are needed for service, it has been decided, for the all scouts to wear their badge of rank at all times. either on the coat or shirt or better still, wear a metal badge of rank on the frcnt of the hat, has scouts since the date of their organiza- tion.
 The tenderfoot pin and the new size second and first class pins not only make a very effective ornament but immediately classify the wearers as members of the Boy Scouts of Amer jca. It is believed that in addition to identifying scouts it will stimulate in creased activity iA scouts to qualify for second and first class degrees. es- peciaIly among the boys who have been been in the movement for some time.
 During the period of the war ak scouts and scout officials should wear the official uniform with this desig- nation.-ScoutiEg.

SCOUTS PLAN RALLY
 FOR FRIDAY NIGHT
VIII Be Favored by Presence of Con-
 gressman R. p. Freeman.

Local Boy Scout officials are ex- ceedingly fortunate in having secured the services of Congressman Richard P. Freeman. At the big public scout 1 rally Friday night at the town hall Congressman Freeman will make the presentation speech before awarding the treasury department medalS to the 22 Norwich scouts who sold 10 Or more bonds of the first Liberty Loan When Scout Commissioner Bruce telephoned to MT. Freeman the latter stated 1t would be a great pleasure for him to he present at this time. This meeting in common with oth- CTS throughout the country Is held at the request of Secretary of the Treas ury McAdoo, as noted by the follow ing letter:
 highly gratifying to me to learn that Your complete official report shows that 7.740 boy scouts have qualified for the War Service Emblems as of fered in each community.
 I wish 1t were possible for me to present personally each one of these War Service EmH1ems but this of course is impracticable. feel conf your own officials, throughout the country, secure in each community the consent of some representative of the federal government. either a member of congress. a judge or postmaster, to reward these embuems. It would please me very much if such a plan can be developed
 Inasmuch the Boy Scouts of America have selected the dates of October 20th-25th H,r their special drive in connection with the Second Liberty Loan campaign, would it not be appropriate to have some special ceremony arranged in every city or town where these emblems are to be awarded, for Friday evening, October 18th? All of the scouts could be brought together on this occasion for patriotic rally. This would serve to bring to the attention of the public as well as to the scouts the definite ser vice they are to render our country during the days specially set aside for their campaign
 With warm regards. I am
 Cordially yours,
