IN hu M
Thomas and Mr.. Anderson have the
matter in hand We are not worried.
Troop vi is not saying much just
now, but the boys are doing a lot OF
thinking and studying and are soon
to give a little play, entitled Daniel
Boone With the Pioneers" Won't it
be fun to see Japanese boys doing
Daniel Boone?

bers. 1t must be that the scout bust
ness is growing.
A troop that is priding itself on
tracking is Sgt Sanderson's troop at
Schofield. And what do you think
they are tracking, boys? Automobiles.
Sure enough, If any fellow in town
thinks he's going to play a joke on
another fellow and run away with his
automobile, he'd better not choose
the Schofield road. Shifting the air
filled with gasoline perfume is part
Of their work, and as soon as your
runaway car has passed they have it
spotted. They know the different
marks in the dust; they can tell
whether it's a Studebaker or a Cadil-
lac; IL it's tires are worn or its
spirits downcast; if it is lame in one
leg or blind in one eye. No, these
fellows don't have to see your car
they just sense it.
Troops XVIII and XIX are busy with
indoor baseball, having formed two
teams. Sgt Long and Mr.. Cannon
are both working with the boys, and
Mr.. McVey reports that while there is
no great excitement going on, the
work and interest are steady.

to the Bulletin window-sill has just
hoped up again. He didn't stay very
long this time owing to a pressure
Of misunderstanding the children at
home-but he managed to drop few
sentences out Of his bill, which ran
something like this: AT a meeting
of the scoutmasters on Saturday night
there was a wonderful showing Of
friendlinesss and all the men seemed
so happy together, all working freely
for the uplift of the boys you love
