SCOUTS FIND BLACK WALNUT.

The requirements for gunstOcks and
airplane propellers are larger than the
unaided efforts Of the walnut manufac-
turers of the country promise to sup
ply. This is due entirely to the lack
Of walnut logs and not at all to lack
Of machinery for manufacture.
The Boy Scouts Of America are en-
gaged In a countrywide search for
black walnut trees and are proving
particularly effective in locating large.
old trees, which abound In the longer
settled parts of the country.
For several years past the walnut
Industry has come to depend upon
the middle West for its logs. The
present need has brought into the
market walnut trees which were not
for sale a few years ago, and the
scouts have been valuable in locating
these.
Reports Of all trees over II inches In
diameter are forwarded by scoutmas-
tiers to the forest service and are
there tabulated. The forest service
acknowledges receipt of the report and
the war department brings the owner
and the log buyer together. The
scouts so far have reported enough
black walnut to make 1900 carloads,
but the government needs far more
than this.

BOY
Sou s
Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts Of America.)
SCOUT THEORY AS TO GUNS.

The use of the rifle for boys in mass
has been proven extremely dangerous
as well as of little practical value. To
adequately equip the large member
ship of the Boy Scouts Of America
would involve hot only the expense Of
rifles, but expensive equipment for the
LrOper care and use OF the rifle. More
over, it wculG involve change Of laws
in most of the states of the Union.
Under these conditions the Boy
Scouts of America have proceeded on
tie theory of doing the things which
were most serviceable for the charac-
ter development and citizenship train
ing Of the boy and of the greatest serv-
ice to the state. The wisdom of this
course in the last eight years from a
purely military point Of view is fully
justified by the splendid support Of
General Pershing and other military
and naval authorities, under whom
over 100000 former scouts and scout
officials are now doing active military
service.
Tie Boy Scouts of America have at
all times encouraged craftsmanship
and the use of firearms under proper
supervision. Indeed, from the very
start a merit badge for proficiency in
craftsmanship has been offered, stipu-
lating, however, that all practice and
the test for this merit badge must be
on an approved rifle range under ade-
quate supervision. This condition re-
veals the basis of concern on the part
of the Boy Scouts Of America with
reference to the use Of firearms. It
Is realized that without proper safe
guards the use Of firearms by boys in
their teens is dangerous, and the Boy
Scouts of America exercise very
strong leadership in avoiding the dam
gers involved.
