SCOUTS KEEN ON w. S. S. SALES.

Probably no service that the mem
bers of the Boy Scouts Of America
have been called upon to render has
created so much genuine enthusiasm
throughout the length and breadth of
the land as the War Savings stamp
campaign, and certainly nc other serv-
ice can be more helpful to the govern
ment or beneficial to the boys, individu-
ally or as troop members.
Each scout is provided by the gov
eminent with franked red postcards
on which to note the sales of stamps,
and the money is collected by postmen
and rural carriers. This work Is in
accordance with the plan definitely
outlined In the special manual for the
Boy Scouts of America issued by the
treasury departments national war
savings committee.
The work car be carried on without
in any way interfering with school
work, other wartime activities, or the
regular scouting program.
All awards for this service will be
based upon the red post card returns
only. Any scout who takes orders
from 25 people will get an Achieve
ment" button. When he has sold $3.50
in stamps the government will send
him an "Ace" medal, and a bronze
palm will be added for each extra 500.

HIGH COLLARS AT THE BACK
Indications Are That Paris Has Given
Up Effort to lnflict Either High
or Misunderstanding.

From the lovely lingerie blouses-
and those Of %georgette crepe and chif-
fon as ~well--shown In the smart shops
and worn in smart places, we may
judge that Paris has almost given up
her effort to infict on the American
woman either the high collar or the
rather u~nbecoming round neckline, ac-
cording to a fashion correspondent. To
be SURE some of the very smartest new
blouses have what Is sometimes called
the Zine of decapitation," but many of
the new blouses show a rather deep v
square, oval or round line in front with
a little turnover collar at the back
deftly harmonized with the front, a
turnover that fits well up against the
neck, almost touching the lower line
of the hair. This line of collar, high
at the back and low at the front, is,
we all know, distinctly becoming to the
American woman.

brown corded silk, and bound at the
edges with narrow ribbon of the same

tapes are sewn on at the corners where
indicated.
The space enclosed in the dotted line
should correspond in size with the sur
face of the seat of the chair, and the
flaps should be large enough to entire
ly cover the sides. 1t is a good plan
prior to cutting out the material to cut
out a rough paper pattern from news
paper and fit it over the chair.
The design which appears upon the
cover consists of blossoms worked in
various shades of pale pink, separated
with leaves worked in various shades
Of green.

wheat, without candy and sugar, with
out the pleasures of palate. There Is
something stimulating and refreshing
In s~elf-denial and self-sacrifice. That
is the lesson of Valley Forge. Let US
remember 1t.
Can we not all together, as one peo-
pie, with one voice, and n heart, on
Memorial day pray: Z
MAY the powers that move through
the universe and reveal themselves in
the actions of men use us as their inr
struments for high purposes, as they
used George Washington in his day,
and Abraham Lincoln in his day;
MAY they steel our hearts to bear
privation, suffering. death, until wrong
shall be overthrow, and right be re-
stored to its throne;
MAY they strengthen our soldiers
and sailors, redouble the vigor of their
bodies and the might of their souls, so
that they shall compel victory to fol-
low at their heels;
"And may we always in the time of
conflict, every hour Of the day and
every hour of the night, remember
George Washington, and strike with
all our national might, putting the
strength Of 100, 900, 900 people into each
blow; and, in the hour of victory, re-
member Abraham Lincoln, and have
charity for all and malice toward
none."
In this state of mind we shall be the
better warriors, and go to battle like
CromwelPs Ironsides, confident of vic
tory, or like Stonewall Jackson's
troopers, with the fear of the Lord
in their hearts and the might Of the
Lord in their right hands. For what

SCOUTS HAVE BOND POSTER.

There can be no doubt that every
boy scout realizes that the war against
Germany and her allies is a wal for
boy scouts and boys who are not scouts
and for their sisters and mothers too.
The Boy Scouts of America can take
OFF their coats, roll up their sleeves
and pitch in as bravely as they did a
few months ago to help their country
gather the Liberty bond money to fight
on for freedom.
The third Liberty loan finds the
scouts carrying the pledge into every
home. Their work was so valuable in
the two campaigns that the govern
ment has given them a special poster
in the third one, and one million copies
have been printed.
The Boy Scouts of America have
been tested and found true. They have
shown their love for their country.

a disciplined man, pure from preju-
dice, untainted by hatred, ennobled by
charity, that he, in the place and at
the time allotted to him, is serving

The war must end In one, definite.

by action, OF partisan criticism, or In

must put down Instructors with an

we can to send as large an army as
possible to the front, to supply 1t as

forces that control the destinies of

history seems to be fantastic tracery
such as a ~schoolboy draws on a frosty

wisest "a tale told by an idiot" there
Is but n thing needful, and that Is.
that where after careful thought, pain
full and %prayerful consideration, men
convince themselves that they see the

have done, and therefore with I'M

VARIETY OF WRAPS
Short Garments Are Made Like
Attenuated DolmanS.
Use Chiffon of New Egyptian Tissue,
Satin Lined or Trimmed With
Fur and Embroidered TuiIe.

Every letter from Paris lays stress
upon the short wraps. They are made
like attenuated dolmans They are
Of chiffon, of the new ~glistening Egyp-
tian tissue, Of satin-lined or trimmed
with fur and of embroidered tulle.
They resemble elaborated scarfs.
Some of them tuck In at the waist
line in the back and drop long in the
front; others go over the front of the
figure In surplice fashion, wrap around
the waist and tie with a huge hustle
bow at the back.
They are worn in the afternoon over
thick frocks; they are worn In the,
evening over half decollete frocks !;
they have taken the place Of many.
short, separate jackets for street
wear, and they are seen at all the
performances In the theaters and at
the opera, as well as In the restau-
rants. They are not removed. They
are intended as a half-concealing,
~half-reyealing and altogether subtle
and attractive garment.
A woman will come into q restau-
rant with a dull lavender gown of
satin, beaded and cut out half low at
the neck, with the arms bare from six
inches below the shoulders, and the
whole top of the figure and gown will
be covered by a short, draped, shirred
wrap with sleeves Of cornfiower blue
tulle, the ends of which may be
weighted with Chinese tassels in black,
gold and yellow.
There are dolmans of black satin
lined with fur, and others that have
bands Of kolinsky or ermine which
form a collar and outline the long,
pear-shaped armholes that often serve
without sleeves. And again and
again, the fur or the Egyptian beaded
embroidery or metallic tissue is used
to hold In these short wraps at the
waistline and to form a bow or ends
at the side or the back.

HOW SCOUTING WAS STARTED.

Scouting is not the result of mere
chance, nor of artificial stimulus. II
is a normal outgrowth of the times,
through which the boyhood of this civ
flization, developed far beyond that OF
any previous age, may find its own
natural expression.
1t is the only movement in recorded
history through which this has ever
done. It's oath and law are the codi6-
cation of the essential principles Of
this civilization into the language OF
the boy.
They place before him, at his most
critical time of life, the age of choice,
a definite, comprehensive guide, fitted
to his nature. his years and his devel-
opment.
Scouting appeared at the most cru
cial time in the history of the race,
and was the prophecy of the type of
man soon to be needed for the preser-
walton of our civilization. That man
is now coming on the stage of action.
1t is vital that his preparation should
begin with the boy.
The world movement was at first
spontaneous and sporadic. 1t soon be-
came necessary to organize it to save
its wonderful possibilities to the world,
and in 1907, in Glasgow, Scotland,
this was done by the man whose gen.
ius had unconsciously brought the
movement into being-Sir Robert Ba-
den-Powell.

First Northern Volunteer.

The first volunteer for service during
the Civil war was DR.. Charles r. Rand.
and his demise occurred in his home
in Washington, d. c., some years e
after a long period of illness, the d.
rect result of wounds received during
the war.
Although for a long time there was a
hearty dispute as to who was the first
volunteer to sign the roll when Presi-
dent Lincoln issued his first call for
troops, careful comparison of all
claims and research as to difference In
latitude resulted in the bestowal of the
patriotic palm upon Doctor Rand, and
he was recognized as the first volun-
teer by all the chief executives of the
nation, from President Lincoln to The
odore Roosevelt.

n K EMORIAL DAY has come
NJ again. Let US retire into our
AVA selves, and let us remember.
The earliest settlers in this
country, whether they came with Capt.
John Smith, with the Pilgrims, the Pu-
ritans, the Dutch, the Quakers, Dr. the
Catholics, whether they came early in
the seventeenth century or whether
they came in the exodus from Ireland
in the lean years of the nineteenth, or
in the flight before the reactionary do
minion established in Europe after
1S48, or whether they came to escape
pogroms in the beginning of the TWEEN
tieth century, all, in their respective
ways, grappled boldly with the difficult
ties of life, and brought their purposes
to accomplishment. Let us remem-
Der.
The noblest figure of the eighteenth
century, be the others who they may,
is that of George Washington, who in
the first great trials of our national
life raised "a standard to which the
wise and the just could repair" and
left the issue in the hands of God.
Let US remember.
The noblest figure of the nineteenth
century, excepting no one, is that of
Abraham Lincoln, who by his heroic
saintliness, his heroic patience, his he
roic conception of duty, his heroic hui
mility, led his people through the fiery
trials of the Civil war. Let US remem-
Der.
We have doubtless made mistakes;
we have neglected duties: we have
overestlmated the value of riches; we
have cared too much for luxury; we
have failed to establish justice for the
masses we have not brought democ-
racy to ripeness; We have forgotten
the true road; we have sought to wor-
ship both COD and mammon; but we
have not let the fires Of hope-that
the spirit of brotherhood shall prevail
among all Americans and between
America and all the workable out in
our hearts. Let us remember.
Now we confront the greatest trial
that our nation has faced. The strong
est power in the world, built up on its
military foundation, as solid as the Ro-
man colosseum, and animated by IT,
tanic pride and ambition, has set out
to dominate the world. Let us remem-
Der George Washington, shut our teeth,
draw the sword and fling the scabbard
away, antil German sense of justice
shall triumph over German brutality.
This means effort, effort, effort all the
people, men and women, putting all
their strength into the great task until
the will of 1OO,0 900 people, resolute
to put down wrong, shall prevail. 1t
means sacrifice of life and limb on the
plains of France, on the high seas, on
the Alpine slopes of Italy, and, at last,
on the roads and fields Of Germany.

home, cutting off luxury, cutting down

PoprIar Sweaters.

It is predicted that the coming sum-
mer will again be a season of sweat
ers. There is such a great variety now
that one cannot be really well dressed
and own only n or two. They
range from the short kand-knitted kind
to the long silk and fiber silk ones,
and in all colors. Sweaters may have
sleeves or be sleeveless, and 1t is
thought that they will eventually take
the place of the slip-oyer sports blouse.

GREAT SPECTACLE |S THE FLAME AS
 SHOWN AT THE EELKS

Intensely different from other plays, with the combined flavor of the short stories of o. Henry and Richard Hard ing Davis, "The Flame" illuminated the stage at the Elks theater for the first of three presentations last eve ming. In scenic investiture, nothing moro elaborate has ever come to the state. In cast the actors were very evidently selected because they ran true to type depicted. In plot, there is nothing quite like "The Flame" on any stage.
 Richard Walton Fully, eccentric, has picked a theme bizarre in the extreme and fascinating therefor. He has given the production a background which is entirely adequate, hence the company carries three carloads of scenery. While it is a world-old tale which is told, in the telling it is essentially diff fercnt. Partly melodramatic, partly spectacular, the movie adjective, grip ping, aptly applies. That it held and interested the audience last evening, was evident, though there are slow mo- ments in the action and a. certain lassi- tude about the lines. quite in keeping with the setting. but very unusual as unusual as artistic. It will not add to the Fully crown as bright @ jewel as did "The Bird of Paradise"

The afternoon affair was closed when there was brought in Q wonderful birthday cake beautifully dec )rated and containing Is candles.
 Perhaps for its size no unit is more interested in or GCes more good work than the Castle Hot Springs Red Cross auxiliary made up of all the women at tue resort.
