SCOUTS WILL PLANT EARLY.

The BOY Scouts of America did fair
ly well at this feeding-thes soldier bus
mess last year. considering they got
into IT rather late, but this year they
hope to do twice as well. now that
they know precisely how important
food conservation and production Is in
this matter of war winning, which CON
Germs all so vitality.
There Is every reason TO believe that
scouts are ready and eager to get at
their new gardens, hut they will need
constructive intelligent leadership to
obtain the best results.
Not the smallest bit of enthusiasm
or effort should be permitted To go to
waste Conservation of this sort Is OF
the utmost importance,
In 1918 there shouldn't be "any such
animal" as the vacant lot, and scouts
can scarcely do better service than by
helping in the determination process.
Get on the Nail of the vacant lot. 1t
is fair scout game.

CHAPTER XIII.
MY First Official Bath.

Right behind our rest billet was a
large creek about ten feet deep and
twenty feet across, and it was a habit
of the company to avail themselves of
an opportunity to take swim and at
the same time thoroughly wash them
selves and their underwear when on
their own. We were having spell of
hot weather, and these baths TO us
were luxury. The Tommies would
splash around in the water and then
come out and sit in the sun and have
what they termed "shirt hunt" At
first we tried to drown the "cooties..'
but they also seemed to enjoy the bath.
One Sunday morning the whole sec
ton was in the creek and we were hay
ing gay time, when the sergeant ma
jor appeared on the scene. He came
to the edge of the creek and ordered:
"Come out of 1t. Get your equipment
on, drill order and fall in for bath
parade. Look lively, my hearties. You
have only got fifteen minutes" A howl
Of Indignation from the creek greeted
this order, but out we came. Disci-
pine Is discipline. We lined up in
front of our billet with rifles and bay
onets (why you need rifles and bayo-
nets to take bath gets mel, full
quota Of ammunition, and our tin hats.
Each man had piec. of soap and q
towel. After an eight-kio march along
a dusty road, with an occasional shell
whistling overhead, we arrived at q
little squat frame building upon the
bank of creek. Nailed over the door
Of this building was large sign which
read divisional Baths" In wooden
shed in the rear we could hear a
wheezy old engine pumping water.

rub 1t on the STRIKER" just the same
as striking a match. The fuse was
timed to five seconds or longer. Some
OF the fuses issued in those days would
burn down I'm q second or two, while
others would "sizz" for a week before
exploding. Back In Blighty the NUM-

the fire step. trembling little, be
cause II is nervous work, especially
when new at It, lights the fuse on his
striker. The fuse begins to "sizz" and
sputter and spiral Of smoke, like
that from n smoldering flag, rises from

ducks around the traverse nearest to
them. They don't like the looks and
sound OF the burning fuse. Wien that
fuse begins to smoke and "sizz" you
want to say good-by to 1t as soon as
possible, so Tommy with all his might
chucks 1t over the top and crouchcs
against the parapet, waiting for the
explosion.
Lots OF times In bombing the siam
tim would be picked up by the Ger
mans, before it exploded, and thrown
back ut Tommy with dire results.
After n lot OF men went West in this
manner an order was issued, reading
something like this:
''To all ranks in the British army
After igniting the fuse and before

throwing the jam-tln bomb, count
slowly one ! two! three!"
This in order to give the fuse time
enough TO burn down, so that the bomb
would explode before the Germans
could throw 1t back.
Tommy read the order-he reads
them all, but after he ignited the fuse
and 1t began to smoke--orders were
forgotten, and away she went In record
time and back she came to the further
discomfort Of the thrower.
Then another order was issued 10
count, zone hundred two hundred !
three hundred ~ But Tommy didn't
care IL the order read to count up to
a thousand by quarters. he was going
to get rid of that "jam tn." because
from experience he had learned not
to trust Il.
When the powers that be realized
that they could not change Tommy
they decided to change the type of
bomb and did notwithstanding the
"hair brush" the "cricket ball." and
later the Mills bomb.
The standard bomb used in the Brit
ish army is the mills" 1t is about the
shape and size of large lemon. Al
though not actually lemon, Fritz in

by the havoc caused by Its explosion.
The Mills bomb Is made of steel, the
outside of which Is corrugated into 48
small squares. which, upon the explo-
sion Of the bomb, scatter in wide

BOY
SCOUTS
ct
Conducted by National Council of the Boy
Scouts OF America.)
CHIvALRY OF THE SCOUT

Chlvalry is the birthright of the
American boy. He may be boy In
the rough unused to the civllities of
life. but there Is instinctively the throb
of chlvalry In his youthful heart that
prompts him to do creditable things.
During the recent cold weather,
when the streets were like glass. says
q Memphis official, a woman fell. A
gentleman went to her assistance.
helped her to her feet, raised his hat
and passed on.
Near the Nineteenth Century club
another woman fell. Two boy scouts
were passing. Both went at once to
the rescue. The lady was assisted to
her feet. One of the scouts drew from
his pocket handkerchief. The snow
was brushed from her dress. and in
spite of her protests that she could
not hurt these young American gentle
men, one on each side OF her, escorted
her to her front door and would not
leave until they saw her in good hands.
Here is what the boy scout move
ment Is doing to our young Americans.
1t Is showing them the responsibilities
of manhood while they are yet boys.
1t is showing them that the great les
son of life is to look after and care
for others.
TOO much cannot be said In com
mendatlon of the boy scout movement.
1t has already so developed the
courtesy of the boy that his neighbors
look upon him as protector and n
friend To he relied upon when neces-
sity demands.
