TO BE FIRE SCOUTS.

Fire Chief Elliot Whitehead of Oak
land, Cal, appreciated the value of the
scout preparation and believing that
the scouts can be counted on in emer-
gencies, is planning to form fire.
patrol in each troop. These patrols
will receive recognition at fires and
will be counted on to prevent fires.
instruction in fire-fighting and preven-
ton and direction for forming the fire.
patrols is given by the chief himself.
Patrol leaders and older scouts are
eligible to join these patrols.
At the end of the course of instruc-
tion, short civil service examination
will be given and the scouts receiving
the highest credits will be eligible for
election as fire chiefs, assistants and
captains.
The patrol will be taken to visit the
fire houses; the fire-fighting apparatus
will be explained and demonstrated
and fire drills will be conducted.
A distinctive badge or shield will be
worn by the.fire scouts. This organiza-
ton will not conflict with the organiza-
ton in the schools, but will serve to
strengthen it, as the school fire war
dens will be even more efficient if they
are fire scouts.

Prescription of Men and Money
Is Most Equitable War Measure
By EDWARD F. DUNNE. Former Governor Of Illinoi.

The die is cast The duty Of every citizen, natu-
rallied as well as native born, is plain. Whether he
be pacifst militant, now there is but one course
for the American patriot. War has come and must
be waged not hafheartedly but with vigor and with
the determination to win.
No half measures will make for success should
be tolerated War must be waged not only in the
world of finance and commerce, but by men on land
and sea- and preferably upon foreign rather than domes

Rose Velda came into her room at
the hotel, shut the door and threw of
her heavy fur coat with-a sigh Of sat
lsfactiOn. She was the "star" of the
comic opera playing weeks stand In
the western city. After divesting her
self of hat and wrap, she took down
a comfortable kimona,' intending to
take q rest. The matinee was just
over and she felt the need of some re-
taxation before the evening perform
ance. AS she stretched herself on the
couch, she became aware of the dole
full tones of violin played by an anna
teurish performer.
"Heavensw she said to herself. IF
I've got to listen to that I'll go mad
It's in the next room, too"
She tried to think what she could
do. She would ask them to change
her room; but here were her things
all unpacked. and her maid wouldn't
appear till evening, as she had let her
go out to buy some necessary articles
for her. Well, she would have to grin
and bear 1t.
Next she became aware that the boy
or girl, or whoever the offender was,
was trying to play one Of her songs

called "The Love That Lived" She
liked it better than anything else she
sang in the opera, and it brought her

most applause. The player in the next
room would get through the first two
bars successfully, fall off on the wrong
note in the third, and come to complete
disaster in the fourth. But he did not
give it up. He seemed possessed with
an almost uncanny determination to
succeed. Evidently he knew he was
not getting the air, for each time he
struck different combination of
notes, as though feeling for the tune"
Hes trying to play it by ear" she
thought, "and he can't quite recall
it."
The repeated stumbles and failures,
the torturing of her beloved song, final
ly became unbearable. She took a sud-
den resolve and raped on the wall.
The noise ceased.
Look here!" she called. "I'll sing
that for you. Now try and getN 1t
right" And without waiting for any
| response, she began.
She sang phrase or two at a time,
and waited for him to play it. If it
was not quite correct, she went over
and over the notes till he had it per-
fectly. She went on patiently, giving
nm the air bit by bit till he had it
all. Then she heard him play it all
through, correcting him only in one
bar.
"NOw may I thank your" came a
mans voice through the partition.
"It's all right" she laughed. "Will
you do me a little favor?"
Anything you ask" was the very
emphatic response.
Il want to get a few minutes rest,
and"
"Oh, I'm so sorry" he broke in. "Of
course I'll stop. I'll be as quiet as
can"
He kept his word, and she smiled to
herself as she rested during the short
time that remained. She did not think
again about it. The unknown per-
former made no effort to push himself
on her notice, and she had more ad-
rnirers than she knew how to manage.
She studied good deal and attended
strictly to business, which was one of
the reasons for her success. A pleas

SCOUT ACTIVITIES.

Gently flashed a message across the

Jerome r. George, president of the
Woodchester council, Boy Scouts Of
America, who offered that amount for
the correct sending and receiving Of
message which he had prepared. The
message read: 1.-The president says he

Boy Scout planT
The Boy Scouts of Tacoma, Wash,
have been making themselves useful
this winter in cutting wood and shovel
ing snow for dependent women and old
people. They divided the town into
districts and carefully looked after
every case which needed help.
A branch of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea has been organized at Tokyo,
Japan, with the assistance of Col.
James A. Irons, the American military
attache. About twenty American boys,
all Of whom are pupils OF the Tokyo
grammar school, have :ormed the nu-
cleus of the organization.
A scout chooses as his motto ''Be
Prepared" and he seeks to prepare
himself for anything-to rescIe a COM

ORGANIZATION OF SCOUTS

When a boy registers as a scout, he
becomes a member of a group called a
patrol "A patrol consists of eight boys,
one of whom is patrol leader and an
other assistant patrol leader. Patrols
are formed into troops. Not more than
four patrols are taken into one troop
and three is considered better num-
ber as the scOutmaster who leads
troop can get better results with a
small group of boys than with large
one.
When a community desires to derive
the benefits of the scout movement
three or five men form what is known
as a troop committee and this COM
mittee communicates with the local
council which holds q charter for that
particular district. In cases where
there is no local council the troop COM
mittee applies directly to the national
council. A scOutmaster is then select
ed and he receives commission from
the national council upon the recon-
mendation Of the troop committee.
Local councils are formed in COM
munities where there are three or
more troops. Such q council is made
up of ten or more men. These men
are elected as representatives of the
various interests of the community in
Guiding religious, educational, business
and civic activities. In many cities
each troop elects at least one member
of its troop committee as a member of
the local council.
The national council is made up of
delegates from the various local cOun-
ellis, president and ex-presidents of
the United States, governors of the
various states, and limited number of
other men distinguished for their
achievements in work for boys.
This in brief is the scout Organiza-
ton. 1t was planned with a view Of
insuring proper supervision of all scou,
work and of keeping the local council
and the national council directly in
touch with both the scout and the
scoutmaster. AS soon as any impor-
tanf addition IS made to the Scout pro-
gram, as soon as some means is dis
covered of doing things better than
they have been done before, this infor-
nation must Immediately reach every
branch Of the organization. Some Of
the best men in the country are every
day volunteering valuable suggestions
to local councils and to the national
council and it is very necessary that
these latest details of scouting should
reach the scout and the scoutmaster
with the least possible delay.
