HI5OYA
SCOUT rs
Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts OF America.)
HERoIsM OF SCOUT REscUERs

While several boys were In SWIM
ming in the Tennessee river near
Knoxville, two of the number became
imperiled and cried for help. John
and Tauxe Yule, both of whom are
boy scouts, quickly responded to the
cries.
John Yule succeeded in reaching one
boy and bringing him to the shore.
Tauxe Yule went to Louis Hassell's
assistance. He states that they went
down twice, but he was able to bring
the terror-stricken lad to the surface
In both instances, and believed they
were safe, when young Hassell. again
frightened, threw his lower limbs
about his rescuer, and they went to
the bottom.
The splendid heroism and hazarding
of their own lives, as exemplified by
the Yule brothers, was commended and
they did everything possible to save
their friend, himself much-beloved
boy.
Scout Executive J. NJ. Gore says
that Tauxe Yule would undoubtedly
have saved Hassell If the drowning
boy had not secured scissors lock,
thing never before thought possible
when the rescuer had the life-saving
arm lock.
Tauxe Yule is an accomplished
swimmer and only n week before had
saved boy from drowning in the
Tennessee river.

leaves, there is no reason why any one
woman should wish herself out Of the
picture. Let her go along with the
momentum Of the hour and buy and
wear garments of fig leaves.
The public Is beginning to see the
wisdom Of buying small amount at
the moment it is needed. 1t should be
preached in every possible form Of
propaganda that this is the wise way
to live during war time. Rest assured
that If the public buys up all the stock
of one thing from store, that store
will be replenished the moment its sup
ply is exhausted.
OF course, there are women who al
ways demand quality. They prefer to
have badly cut gown, made in a past
fashion, If they are sure that every
thread Is silk or wool, as the case may
be. But the majority Of women are
not inclined toward accepting that sys-
tenn Of dress.
Therefore, let us start out In a new
measure of reform, as soon as this
month Is over, and face September
with no idea of rushing into shops and
buying everything that is offered be-
cause 1t Is labeled "New." Maybe 1t Is,
and maybe it isn't. But a feeling Of
panic among buyers that now is the
only chance to get enough clothes to
carry one through the winter, results
in the very thing that the government
desires most to see avoided-reckless
spending Of money. So buy shrewdly,
and not for boarding.
If there is to be economy I'm clothes,
let 1t begin this week. 1t is at this
time, between the seasons, that wom-
an can take thought of her wardrobe
and twist and turn 1t according to pre-
vailing fashion, in way that will serve
her until styles are more settled. Then,
when she has to buy much, she will
buy wisely and well.
Help In Remodeling Clothes.
Here are some prophecies that may
help you to be economical and wise.
One Of them sounds like the first aid
to an injured wardrobe. 1t comes d.
rect from Paris. 1t is that checks,
stripes and mosaic blocks are widely
worn in whole suits and parts Of suits.
Can you imagine any piece Of news
more gratefully received than that
which gives a woman chance to make
new coat to an old skirt, or the
other way around?
There are colored stripes on a white
background. made of heavy wooden ma
terial and built into skirt to be worn
with any slip-on cuirass or short jack
ct Of colored cloth or velvet.
Skirts are narrow. AS the govern
ment will allow shoes to be 8 inches
from the ground, the skirts need not
be heightened. For the present they
remain moderately short. What the
near future will bring out no one can
say. I. 49, !.

Early Buying Is
Not Best Policy

New York.-The trade, which means
the vast multitude of people engaged in
the making and selling of women's ap-
parel, has at last sounded a warning to
those who buy too far ahead of the
seasons, advises well-known fashion
correspondent.
The public has deplored this condi-
ton. 1t has been well known for sew
eral seasons that the average woman
did not care to buy straw hat In
February and velvet hat In July, or
to have all her autumn clothes offered
to her the first of September with the
assurance that they We're the fashions
that would rule throughout the winter.
She has been often betrayed, and that
betrayal has not soothed her irritation
against those who sold her tine clothes.
1t is the fact also that the trade in
turn has found itself caught In a
net that tangled and involved 1t, and
compelled each individual to struggle
for success In manner contrary to
the dictates Of reason and sobriety.
Through this web of circumstances
everyone has come to feeling that
something must be done in the crea-
ton of new fashions long before the
season for which they are to be worn,
and that the public must follow the
lines laid down by the trade competi-
tors.
Right here lies the extraordinary
gamble to women in buying clothes
early in the season. Right here lies
one of the greatest sources Of money
wastage. Thousands of women, who
have no way Of knowing what the
fashions will be as the season ad-
vances, buy what is said to be new as
the season demands change.
What they buy in September has
probably been bought by the shop in
June. To keep up with the rising tide
of observation-disclosures, the manufacturers
make the clothes earlier and earlier,
and the ready-to-wear shops and de-
partment stores, as a rule, buy these
clothes as early as the manufacturers
make them, and get them out at the
very moment there Is a slight demand
| for them.
What happens?
In October and in April the real
fashions come out for each season
| Hundreds of women-nay, thousands
are faced with the fact that they have
bought gowns, or wraps, or hats that
are not in keeping with the new
clothes. They have bought clothes ar.
ranged six months before the authen
tic exhibitions of new and seasonable
apparel.
What happens next?
The woman who can possibly scrape
up enough money to buy new outfit
does so, and she also spends extra
money on a seamstress or little dress
maker to have her other clothes re
modelled. Therefore, she spends twice
her allowance on clothes.
Panic Has Produced Careless Buying
Many of the traders in apparel real
fze that panic and form of CONNER
sial hysteria have resulted in large
amount Of early buying, which Is not
fair either to the individual or to com
nerce. Every shopper has shared the

he tried to enlist, but was turned

ing unaware of his cardiac peculiar

Bailey made the discovery Of the true
location Of his heart.

THOUSANDS IN SCOUT CAMPS.

Thousands Of Boy Scouts of Amer
Ca are enjoying their wonderful
camps all over the country. For the
time they will forget all about cities,
sidewalks and civilization in the joys
Of swimming, boating, mountaineering
ing and athletics of all kinds. Instruc-
ton in scouting will be mingled with
these sports.
At all of these camps, the scouts are
having good time, while gaining In
health, self-reliance and everything
that helps them to be prepared for the
unselfish patriotic service which is
the heroic dream Of every true scout

SCOUTS FEED THE SOLDIERS.

Surplus vegetables from the many
war gardens in Kingsville, Tex, are
gathered, picked and shipped to the
mess officers ut the army camp by
the boy scouts of that city.
The army officials are very apprecia-
tive of the movement. The garden
owners are glad to contribute vege-
tables, and the scouts are glad to as
semble them.
In some instances they gather them
from the gardens, ice them il neces-
sary, pack them in hampers and
bushel crates and express them. The
government pays the transportation
charges and provides new hampers.
