SCOUTS EXPERT AT STALKING,

Sir Robert Baden-Powell says that
be was looking at number of British
soldiers being trained in how to hide
themselves from the enemy and how
to creep up to him, and was delighted
to see that they were being taught in
the same way that the boy scouts are !;
in fact, boy scout officer was their
Instructor and several boy scouts were
helping.
Going on all tours is dangerous.
The boy scout is skilled in creeping
slowly inch by inch. He goes on the
fore part Of the arm, each arm pass
ing over the other in turn to the front (;
the body and legs are kept stiff the
whole time. With a little practice it
is wonderful what a pace one can
get up.
English commanding officers at the
front have frequently said that they
find soldiers who have been boy scouts
are specially useful for trench war
fare because they know how to hide
themselves and how to creep about in
the dark without losing their way.

miles long and three to five wide; on
the south and west by Puget Sound

Sanitary Fountains.

An investigation of drinking foun-
tains at the University of Minnesota,
carried out by the state board o.
health, led to the rather startling re-
suit that the X fountains in use at
the university, most of which belonged
to various supposedly sanitary types
were found to be improperly construct
ed to prevent contamination by the
consumer, according to the Scientific
American. The principal defect was
the vertical discharge of the water,
making it necessary for the consumer
to place his mouth directly over the
point of discharge. 1t was found that
the majority of persons drank with the
lips touching the nozzle. The investi-
gators devised a new type of fountain
in which the discharge is at such an
angle that there is no possibility OF
water falling back from the mouth up
on or near the orifice.
