here who is known by every man. WON.

ence how warm or how cold the
weather is, he always has a pleasant
smile for everyone, even when some
woman or man driving an automobile

hand. a signal to stop
This man is Jerry Markus Smith,
who, for the past four years, has been
traffic officer of the Oklahoma City
police department, stationed at the in
tersection of Main street and Robin
son avenue.
Here Nine Years.
Smith has been with the police de-

the past four years he has been stand.

10 o'clock in the morning until 6:W
in the afternoon, regardless OF the
weather, with the exception OF his
lunch hour, from to O'Clock.
AS the accompanying photograph
shows, Jerry is fine speciman of hu.
manity Besides being six feet in height
and weighing go pounds, he is really
good looking.
His fellow officers also say that
he is partial to the women, and that he
would allow them, to "run-him down"
as he stands there in the middle OF
the street TO prevent a CONGESTION OF
traffic, rather than to arrest one Of
them
He says that, however, this is not

nm less trouble than do the men. At
ny rate, he can raise his hand and

a bow and smile, and "Howdy Do

reason for being puzzled, for months
before when we had discussed the sub
ject OF the artists return to the world
from which he had been absent so long,
Lillian had been enthusiastic in her
plans for entertaining him.
Dicky did not know that during the
illness following my burns upon the
night Of his birthday dinner Lillian had
told me OF her youthful romantic adora-
tion OF Robert Savarin because he had
made il possible for her to realize her
dream OF becoming an artist She had
also told me that because OF her hus
bands attitude toward her little girl the
child OF her former tragically unhappy
marriage, she and Harry Underwood
had almost come to the parting OF the
ways, and that with her mind and heart
so attuned to tragedy she did not think
il wise for her TO meet Robert Savarin
again.

Dcky laughed aloud

Dicky's mocking tone made me realir.
that he had no illusions. concerning the
state OF the Undcrwoods' marital aifec-
tion. His next words made me wonder
how far he was in Harry Underwood's
confidence.
Never mind what Lii says" he said
abruptly. "Just make her come out
here while Savarin is here. II will do
her good And she needn't have any

TROOP xx's GARDEN PROGRESS
,.... ING

Meeting of the twentieth troop took
place as usual on Thursday last with
20 scouts present and two officials.
There was also one visitor who visited
our troop and was present at our
meetings for about. five consecutive
nights. He is Mr.. Roberts Of the troop
committee. He told the boys that he
had read a short article In the even
ing paper OF Wednesday, the End,
about the. scouts in Los Angeles, how
they gathered ap piles and piles Of
discarded tin cans, which were melted
and, the lead was somehow separated
from the tin and sold and brought q
marketable value. The process OF
separating the lead from the tin Is, a
secret.
The troops garden on Piikoi street
Is progressing rapidly as the compose
Is already finished and the land has
been plowed ready for use. The soil
there il very rich, and We are sure
of getting fine crops from It. 1szs.z
We were taken through a short drill
which lasted about 80 minutes. We
did some drilling, too, that night and
every scout was alert and paid strict
attention to orders. The meeting was
adjourned at 800 p. m.

LONGLEY SAYS
TO TRY LINES

Often it is q bitter pill. one takes

superintendent Of the territorial mar

to help along the spirit Of patronizing
home industry and market. He speaks
on the subject Of lines. .....

up lemonade and drink ime-juice In.

Longley declares there is q large
stock Of lines on hand at the market
now for sale at about one cent each.
He says lemons are selling for over
two cents and that although lines are
considerably smaller than lemons
they win give more beverage for the
same money spent. !; s.l .s.ess.,. ,..-..
Several Honolulans have taken up

CITIZENSHIP AND RECOGNITION

In his report to the national coun.

Interesting story of the action which
Congress took in the past year to pro.
tect the Boy Scouts Of America in the
promotion Of It's distinctive program
for the benefit Of boys.
Announcing that Congress had pass.
ed and the President approved bill
granting q Federal charter to the Boy
Scouts OF America, Mr.. West said:
CHOSE familiar with legislation by
our National Congress know how diff
ficult II is to secure federal incorpor-
alton; and there are but few instances
in the history Of our country where
Congress has passed legislation In
any way similar to that which Is In
cluded In the act to incorporate the
Boy Scouts OF America. That such a
bill was passed in both house and SEN
ate without dissenting vote during q
period when the demands upon our
Congress were greater than ever be-
fore, Is significant Of the high regard
OF the value of the Boy Scout move
ment by our, National Government. "

DAN BEARD IS
Highly HONORED

The national council of the Boy
Scouts Of America, composed Of emil
nent men from all parts Of the coun-
try, paid q signal honor at its meeting
in New York recently to Daniel Car
ter Beard (Dan Beard as he Is uni
versally known among outdoor men
and in literary and artistic circles)
when it elected him honorary vice
president Of the scout movement.
There are but two other honorary
vice-presidents, Col. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Taft.
Heretofore the organization had no
provision which would permit Of the
bestowal Of this honor upon any other
than former president Of the United
States, who during his incumbency
served as the honorary president Of
the Boy Scouts. Recently the Boy
Scouts of America, in accordance
with its new federal charter, adopted
a constitution in which 1t was provid-
ed that the national council, upon the
nomination Of its executive board,
can eject as additional honorary vice
presidents citizens Of the, United
States who have rendered distinguish
ed service to our country through
work with boys"
It is natural that Dan Beard should
be the first to receive this recogni-
tion. He has been working with boys.
for their benefit, for many years;
was the pioneer in the development Of
a handicraft adapted to boys, the an-
thor Of many original books on this
line of which there has been a multi
tude Of limitations, and promoted, as a
boys outdoor organization, the Boy
Pioneers, many years before the Scout
movement was developed in this
country. He has always stood for
things essential in handicraft and the
great outdoors and whole-hearted. Am
