/ SCOUTS TO AID AvIAToRs.


In appreciation Of the guard duty
rendered by scouts at Day Flying
Field, near Cuero, Texas, the war de-
partment has sent the following mes
sage to Scoutmaster Willard 81.
Green:
"a complimentary report has been
received concerning the excellent work
of your scouts upon the occasion OF
the unfortunate wrecking of United
States airplane near your city. Col
one1 Pratt states that you turned out
your scouts who took charge of the
plane, guarding and caring for it most
satisfactorily until the arrival of the
wrecking truck.

need and use the occasion of instruct

scouts when necessary. The youngsters

CHAPTER VIII.

Marx rushed to the street and found
himself face to face with Eleanor.
She was coming out of store, and
going, evidently, toward the cab which
was waiting against the street curb.
They almost ran into each other.
Mark lifted his hat mechanically, and
thought she was about to pass, but
suddenly she took him by the arm,
and looked at him earnestly, extreme
concern upon her face.

Within ten minutes after an appIi
cation of Danderine you can not find
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at
tine. The effect is amazing hair
will be light, fluffy and w;tvy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance. +
Get small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try a little Dam
derine.-Adv,

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council OF the
Boy Scouts of America.)
SCOUTS ARE FINE SOLDIERS

A letter from a former scoutmaster
on active service with the American
expeditionary forces tells of the value
of scout training. 1t says:
"Once a scout, always a scout. /
meet the scouts in every town and have
made many friends, as they are all like
the Yanks. can say advisedly that
I don't believe ever did anything any
more worth while than my scout work.
With juvenile delinquency increasing
in the war countries at an alarming
rate, am just beginning to realize the
greatness of the scout movement and
its power for good among the boys who
take it up. The vast difference be-
tween the scout and the other boy is
not very pronounced at home, but over
here it is glaring and impresses every
body. The boys are keeping clean and
straight and will come home the same
fine fellows ready to look their girl or
mother straight in the eye. They will
make great scoutmasters when they get
back home"

SCOUTING MAKES GOOD MEN.

The first boy in Washington TO earn
an Eagle Scout badge enlisted in the
United States Naval Reserves as a
fOurth-class yeoman Immediately after
graduating from high school, at the
age of seventeen years. He was pro-
NOTED rapidly and recently sailed for
European waters as a frst-class
yeoman.
His fathers attitude toward the
scouts service in the navy is expressed
in the following letter to the chief
scout executive:
II thought you would be interested
in the inclosed, as showing what the
Boy Scout organization is doing for
the young men of the country and the
kind of young men it is turning out
for Uncle Sam"

and have Mrs Howard look after you
at once. Oh, you are laughing!
1t was rather a grim jest to MARI
but 1t occurred to him that it would
help to ALLEVIATE Eleanor. She drew
away from him and looked at him with
those keen, scrutinizing eyes that had
in some measure discounted him at
the Misses Harpers' school.
"Uncle Mark" she pleaded, "do tell
me why you are acting so horribly
when 1 am only thinking of you. It's
just the way you ed that other
night until we got to understand each
other. And tell me why you haven't
come to u.s."
"Well, Eleanor, the truth is," said
Mark, "the work at the office has just
about taken it all out of me. And then,
in my position, of course there are vis-
it's that must pay"
"Of course" said Eleanor iron
ically. $50 on, Uncle Mark. I shall
see through you presently"
"But have been meaning to visit
you soon. Only, you know. I am not
in any sense your guardian now, and
so, Eleanor, if you want me to be
frank, it is a little unreasonable of
you to put forward my duties in that
respect when I have no compensa-
tions."
She started. "You mean that you
didn't want to come?'' she asked.
81 did want to. But have so many
duties"
"Thank you. That's quite enough,
Captain Wallace. My conduct in in
truding on such a busy man has been
quite inexcusable. Good day, Captain
Wallace!"
She made q mocking little bow and
went toward her cab. She stopped and
looked back The brief anger was
ended. But Mark was. already free
from that intolerable interview and
stumbling homeward.
He let himself in, wrote out his res
ignation, and mailed it.
AS he paced his room, pondering
over the situation, it seemed to him
that the key to the mystery lay with
Hartley. Even yet he had not allowed
himself to believe Kellerman a traitor
But it was essential that he should
find Hartley, ano insist upon confes
sion, both of his motives in watching
the Coloners house, and of those thai
had brought him to the war depart
ment.
Suddenly the telephone interrupted
his meditations. A woman's voice a
the other end was asking for him.
"Are you quite sure you are Captain
Mark Wallace?" it inquired, when HI
had stated his identity.
81 am as sure as l have ever been,
answered Mark.

DoINes OF THE SCOUTS.

A boy scout in Portland, Ore, noticed
two men running up the street with
a beautiful mink fur. He gave chase,
and upon displaying a police badge the
two men meekly followed him to police
Headquarters. The fur was returned
to its owner.

ter searching all of one night, found
four-year-old Inez Costa, who had been

While walking past store at night
Elmer Berry, boy scout of Troop No. 6
Of San Jose, CAL, discovered a fire
there. He quickly turned in an alarm
and with several other boy scouts
broke in the place and put out the
flames before the engines arrived.
The Memphis Rotary delegation took
the boy scout drum and bugle corps
to Kansas City to the international
meeting. When they got back to Mem
phis, they had more to say about the
behavior and efficiency of the scouts
than even about the Rotary activities

WHEN SCOUTS MISUSE AK.

The West side organization of the
Chicago local scout council has adopt
ed this regulation: mo scout Of this
Jurisdiction shall carry an ak except
when his registered scoutmaster is
along"
The mutilation of trees in city parks
and on private property has been the
cause of much criticism directed at
the Boy Scouts of America. 1t can
only happen where the scout leader
ship overlooks the eagerness of the
new scout to try his ak on everything
in sight. Every scout should be made
to prove that he is safe person to
trust with an ak before he is permit
ted to carry one. ;,
