 In case of accident, or any sudden emergency, whom would you call on for help? Whom would you ad- wise your sister to call on for assistance? A man with . uniform of course. He would be seen first. His uniform would attract the eye. A uniform means that there is an organization back of the man. There are times when emergencies may arise at any hour. The aged and the fec ble should know that they are sur rounded by local Scouts who will look after their welfare. The Scout uni- form stands for organized, unselfish, | patriotic service and for this reason Scouts and Scout officials should wear l the uniform during the war.

self with the rife when he has a r1ne In hand. but he may otherwise school himself in the Squad or Com pany movements which accompany or are predicated upon the use of the rifle, for he can carry through the squad or company movements with broomstiok
 For various reasons, depending upon the immediate situation, it may be necessary for the Squad to increase or diminish the interval at which the men are deployed. For instance, the space to be covered may be wider or narrower than tho ton paces which the normal interval would give for the Squad front. Cr, the fire of the enemy at this point be so "hot'' that. in order to advance against 1t, the chances of casualties must be reduced by widening the space between the men.
 If the latter be the case, or If, sls previously stated, 1t is desirable to cover g. wider front, instead of the Command, "As Sldrmisllers, MARCH" (when tho men deploy at half-pace intervals) tho command may be, As Skirmishers, At Two Faces, MARCH:" This would mean that, instead of the half pace, or fifteen inches, twice the full pace, or sixty inches. would inter- vene between each man. This would extend the Squad front over 8 dis tance. of approximately twenty paces, or fifty feet, and thus increasing the front of, or the chance of each man being hit.
 It Is essential for the, new Soldier to pay the closest heed to Extended Order drill, for 1t symbolizes real fighting. He must be SO grounded in the details of it that he will execute them automatically when in action, for, once under fire, he will have plenty of things to think about be- sides how he is to reach the desig- mated point at the designated time. The use of his rifle will require his full and active attention.

Leave My Dreams to Me. (John D. Wells in woman's world.) l. want but little here below, just let me have my dreams, And you may keep the gold and dross, and all the petty schemes That men conceive in Greed and Gain, to foist on fellow men Just let me be pilgrim. lone, to love and dream again Of hollyhocks
 In riot, red,
 A puncheon floor
 A trundle bed And things I love and cherish now. that looked so homely then. Just place me where my easy chair shall face the evenings glow, Where pictures form with magic art as fancies come and go. And all the paths that lead away guide weary pilgrims feet To cottages with open doors where love and friendship meet
 A humble roof
 The song of birds
 The welcome low
 Of distant herds And roses grow around the home and drip their fragrance sweet. And open wide the ancient door, so vagrant winds that blow May bear the music back to me-the songs of long ago And echo children's voices-songs or happiness and glee- All silent now these many years-And for eternity;
 Then leave me here
 To dream and rest
 With eyes upon
 The dying west Take all the wealth the world affords but leave my dreams to me.

SEPTEMBER i.

Yesterday was a n1omentous day in American history. After twenty-eight days of almost endless debate in Congress the selective Draft Army Bill was approved by the Senate last night. The vote was sixty-five to eight. After being signed by the Speaker of the House and the Vice President thet measure will be sent to the White House for the signature of the President. The bill as it now stands conforms to the recommenda- tons of the Administration except for the fact that 1t carries a provision which would permit the President to send Colonel Roosevelt and his private army to France. This pro- vision. however, is not mandatory. The President is authorized to send Roosevelt if he sees fit. The President Is not directed to do so. unless the General Staff of the United States Army is of the opinion that these voluntary divisions should be sent abroad. Inasmuch as the President Is permitted to exercise his discretion in the Roosevelt plan, and as the Army Bill is satisfactory in other re- spects, there is little doubt it will be- come law in few days. Owing to the depleted state of military supplies the call for the first 5OO,00 men may not be sent ou, until September first.
