WHAT IS SCOUT M0vEMENT7

Any boy, Of any nationality, Of any
creed. twelve years of age or older
may become a boy scout IL he promises
to keep the scout oath and laws and
prepares himself for simple tests, on
the composition and history Of the
American flag and the Significance OF
the scout badge, and can make several
cordage knots.
The boy scout movement Is In no
sense secret organization.
The plan Is to group number OF
boys (nOt more than 80 in one "trOop,
as they are designated) under the lead
ership of "scoutmaster"-a carefully
selected, clean, Intelligent, boy-loving,
volunteer leader-always a man OF
sterling character and mature judy
ment. Each troop and scOutmaster
are under the supervision Of q troop
committee" Of responsible citizens, usu.
ally officials of the church, synagogue,
school, settlement house, asylum or
playground with which the troop Is
connected.
Through such leadership the boys Of
the troops are kept interested In pro-
gram Of play-activities that are health
giving and educational. They take
long tramps, studying nature In all its
forms. They learn woodcraft, and
how to take care Of themselves in the
open. They have troop meetings each
week for study, handicraft, expert
ments, demonstrations. etc., and go
into camp every summer under trained
directors.
In a hundred ways the boys time is
occupied. The program is so varied
and so fascinating to the boy that he
simply hasn't time or opportunity to
trail with an idle gang or to turn into
the evils that beset the path Of the idle
boy.
The boy scout is taught courtesy.
honor, humanity, kindness, chivalry
and service, and to exercise them at
home, in school and outside, and such
practical activities as first-aid, life
saving, cooking, swimming, etc.
The boy scout must do good turn"
daily.
The only membership cost is an an
nual registration fee Of Is cents. The
boy scout is taught thrift. He must
earn the money for his own scout ex-
penses..
City officials often cooperate with
scout leaders, permitting the scouts to
enjoy, as they do. the privilege of as
sisting in honorable, safe ways in con-
nection with big demonstrations. On
each occasion scouts are responsible
aids, while other boys, in striking con-
tract just "hang around" getting in
the way If not actually into mischief.
It becomes first step in practical
civics. f@35t a

SENTIMENTALITY VS.. TRAINED
NURSING
Which do You Prefer For Gu,
Wounded

Many were the blunders made by
the British at the outset of the war
We are destined, apparently, to re-
peat many of them.
One of the most lamentable OF
those mistakes is now possible.
This danger that our wounded
soldiers may be nursed by incapable
and inexperienced women.
Wait a moment-dont blame the
Red Cross; it has carried prepared.
ness almost to perfection.
Blame, rather, the sentimental
enthusiasm Of personal patriots
those women who are Economically
anxious to don a cap and go Ia
France and nurse" wounded heroes
so anxious that they are willing to
occupy places that should be filled
only by graduate nurses with years
of hospital experience. s
This is the situation:
The Red Cross has already enroll.
ed almost $4,000 graduate nurses
all picked women, experienced, skill.
full, reliable-for work in the wal
hospitals. More are joining every
day. There are some 100000 to call
upon.
The Red Cross, however, does
train some lay women as so-called
"Nur.c> Aids" but ends to use
them if at all, only for housekeeping
work in the hospitals, or as assist.
ants in the diet kitchens, and such
comparatively unskilled labor.
It is with these Nurses Aids that
the new danger has arisen.
Partly inside, but mainly outside
the Red Cross there has lately de.
veloped a strong movement to ex.
tend the training Of the Nurses
Aids to include . few months hos.
pital work.
Now, although 1t first glance thi,
would seem to be q practical step
behind the project Is quite evident
an attempt to place later these %.

men after their short hospital train
ing will feel themselves quite COM
petent to care for the sick-else
why should they go in for it at all?
They will be Economically anxious to
enlist.
All kinds of influence will be ex-
erted to place them as nurses into
our war hospitals-much as similar
novices are used as auxiliary nur-
SEES" in France.
Now, do you want your father,
your brother or husband in their
terrible suffering on their death
beds-cared for by amateurs? Is
it the skilled attention in the world
and our graduate nurses are the
best in the world-one bit too good
for our men who, fighting for US,
are MANNED blinded or mortally
wounded on the battle field? If your
sweetheart's jaw is shot away do
you want that awful wound dressed
by . girl who has had only three or
even six months training with sur
geons? ~~ f~ ~
That's what may happen.
What shall we do to prevent it?
This: Insist that the wounded in
our war hospitals shall be attended
only BY your graduate nurses; and
see that, IN your district every gra-
duate nurse be urged Immediately
to volunteer for war work under the
Red Cross, so that any attempt of
incompetents to enlist shall be over
whelmed by the number Of experien-
ced, professional volunteers.
But. above all, if you are a pa
triotic woman and would give the
full measure of devotion to your
country enter some hospital your
self as student nurse, and take the

Corps. Be prepared! For the war is

ONLY WHAT YOU
GIVE YOU KEEP
BY Edgar Saltus of the Vigil

BY Edgar Saltus of the Vigil
anteS
A recent advertisement for Red
Cross subscriptions says: when
you give, it's gone. None of it ever
comes back to you-principal or in
terest."
Economically, that view may be
correct, but an economic view, how
ever sound, is Invariably sordid.
Moreover, from the standpoint of
the higher mathematics, the view has
the double dement, of being not only
sordid but false It is untrue that
what you give is gone. It is untrue
that none of it returns. All you can
keep is what you have given away.
Joaquin Miller said that, or some
thing to the same effect. He,
though, was a poet. Educated people
think differently. But then the ignor-
ance d educated people, by reason
of their education, which occasional
ly includes mythology, know that
happiness is the greatest of all the
gifts which the gods can bestow.
Being mortal they try to get it; be-
ing ignorant they fail.
Ignorance confounds happiness
with pleasure. Pleasure comes from
without, happiness from within.
People may be very gay and pro-
foundly miserable. By the same to-
ken they may be really rich yet &C
tually poor. In either case their con-
dition is due to the fact that the
happiness which they sought, they
sought for themselves. Therein is
the poignant error of life. People
who seek happiness for themselves
fail to find it. But they who succeed
in securing it for others, discover
that on them also it has been be-
slowed.
The greatest happiness is the ces-
sation of pain. That pagan aphorism
the Red Cross should put on its ban
ners. Spiritually it is defective, but
practically it is valid and we have
the misfortune of existing which that
fellow the Kaiser, burglar and pes
thence combined, has been turning
into morgue.
The suffering induced by this
apocalyptic beast is beyond computa-
ton. But relief the Red Cross can
measurably supply, if, to employ an
engaging vulgarism we all chip in.
Chip then. "There are those who
do not like to give" the Divinity of
Iran confided to his prophet. The
high god added: "Satan awaits
them"
Few of US believe in Satan any
more. That is very wrong. Satan is
merely an old-fashioned name for
unhappiness.
Chip, therefore. Do not credit
the misguided statement that what
you give does not return to, you. It
does return, it returns in happiness
and all the happiness that the richest
the poorest, the wisest, the stupidest
can ever possess, is precisely that
happiness which they have given
away.

JUDGE JANUARY FOR MAYOR.

THE NEWS. in this issue, carries
the announcement and card from
Judge E. 3. January, in which he
makes his public bow to the voters Of
the city of Taris, as a candidate Tor
the office of Mayor of Paris.
Judge January has been an almost
lifelong resident of Paris, and is too
well-known here to need even formal
introduction to the people of the city,
whose support he is asking in the fur
therance of his candidacy. He has
been a business man here from the
time of his early youth, and has been
a most successful one. In his political
life he has been equally successful,
having served the city as Police Judge,
leading his opponents each time By
handsome plurality.
He has administered the affairs OF
his Office with eminent satisfaction to
all concerned. and having made good
Police Judge, he has right to believe
that he will make a good Mayor.
Judge January has already inaugural
ed an active canvass for the office.

MADE TO
BRIGHTEN NEGROES.

From Paris comes the word that an
attempt has been made in Bourbon
county to brighten the colored popu-
lation OF Kentucky against joining the
United States army in case of war. It
is understood that the negroes have
been frightened by a man who comes
from Lexington and preaching in their
churches. claims to have been sent
from God to warn them against enter
ing the war. This looks very much
like German spies are at work In
Kentucky and the officers of the State
will make thorough investigation at
once.-Maysville Independent.
Rev. A. w. Davis, colored, of Lex
ington, who has been conducting ser.
vices at the North Middletown Chris
tian church, stated that he had seen
no evidences Of activity to secure
German sympathizers among the col
ored people of that place. He had
just received letter from NJ. Fl. Gray,
Secretary of the Board of Church Ex-
tension, who recently visited North
MiddletOwn and looked over the work
among the colored churches there, In
which the leadership of the local col
ored preacher was highly commended.
Rev. Davis says the colored people of
North Middletown are as highly patri-
otto as any anywhere else.
In spite Of Rev. Davis declaration.
however, there is opposed the solid
sentiment Of the people of North Mid
dletown in the belief that underhand
methods have been in operation among
the most approachable of the colored
people of that vicinity. and they will
not be deferred from an attitude OF
watchfulness by Rev. Harris state
ment. The claim has been advanced
that enough had been learned to war
rant the state of feeling that there
has been something doing"
