manner of the death of the baby
found on the railroad bridge east of

NOTES OF THE SCOUTS.

A scout practices self-cOntrOl, for he
knows that men who master problems
in the world must first master them
selves. He keeps a close guard on his
temper and never makes a silly spec
tacle of himself by losing his head. He
he knows that loud speech is often a
cloak to ignorance, that swearing is a
sign of weakness and that untruthful-
ness skaters the confidence of others,
He keeps close guard on his appe-
tite and eats moderately Of foods
which will make him strong; he never
uses alcoholic liquors, because he does
not wish to poison his body; he desires
a clear, active brain, so he avoids to.
baccO.
A scout holds his honor to be his
most precious possession, and he
would die rather than have it stained.
He knows what is his duty and all OBJ
legations imposed by duty he fulflls
of his own free will. His sense of
honor is his only tasllmaster, and his
honor he guards as jealousy as did
the knights of old.
A lecturer surprised the scouts of
MOntclair, n. j., by telling them of
over sixty kinds of birds that remained
in town over the winter. Under such
conditions it ought not to trouble any
scout to pass his bird study examina-
lions at any time Of the year.

Speed of Carrier Pigeons.

On fairly long journeys-say, of 100
miles or more-the carrier pigeon will
average a speed from thirty-seven to
forty-three miles an hour. The best
horse in the world can only keep UP
a speed approximate to that for six or
seven minutes at most. The pigeons
speed is about thirty three yards per
second, just about twice as greet

KNOTS FOR WORDS

1t is part of a polite education in
Japan to understand the art of knot
tying. In that land knots take the
place of buttons, hooks and eyes,
buckles and other devices Of civiliza
tion for fastening the complicated
clothing of today. The japanese de-
pend upon cords and knots instead,
which is an equally satisfactory way
and permits of more artistic effects.
But the knot has much greater sig
nificance in Japan. In fact, each knot
has some special meaning, many of
which go back to the time when his
tory began. This also is true of the
ancient Chinese and Peruvian races,
which wrote their earliest history in a
series of knots. This was based upon
the same principle as that behind the
hieroglyphics of the Egyptians, and
our own modern writing. 1t is easy to
see that knot could have quite as
much meaning as the figure of an ami
NAL Tied one way it might indivate
victory and tied another it would sig
Nifty defeat. 1t was simply question
of adopting a certain kind of knot as
the image of a particular thing. And
all languages, written and spoken, are
merely collection of images.

AVOID TRAFFIC CONGESTION

Fourteen specific instructions as to
additional methods for increasing the
capacity of their equipment and facil-
tiles have been issued to the railroads
of the country by their own war board
through Chairman Fairfax Harrison.
The new planks in the "war plat
form" of the railroads are summar-
lied as follows:
/. Comply promptly and cheerfully
with all priority and governmental
orders and orders of commission on
car service.
2. Increase loads per car, expedite
movements through yards and termi-
nails; check up and enforce demurrage
rules; same with cross-haul of commo-
dities.
9. Unload company material much
more promptly.
4. Increase lading in L. c. L..
merchandise cars by establishing
Sailing days"
S. Increase fuel economy.
6. Review switching service at ter
minals and prescribe special move
ments to cut unnecessary detention of
cars.
