Too full for lengthy expression,
Snow remarked: "And us fellers used

Mothers with boys in France or In

The American women who have vOlun-
teered to run the canteens are among
the nations most cultivated women.
They are enduring conditions which
are in marked contrast with the sur
roundings of their own homes.
"Lots Of times an American soldier

Hull. with a spell of the blues. He
has been out In the mud, Is tired and
hungry, and most of all wants sympa-
thy. When he sees us women cheer

ing in cold rooms and working long
hours on stretch. he gets ashamed
Of his feelings and braces up. They
are mighty glad to see woman from

SCOUTS ARE GROWING FAST

On December q the records of the
Boy Scouts of America showed 2S7,257
registered scouts in good standing, as
compared with 1884 on the same
day one year previous.
There were 13.413 troops in good
standing. as compared with 9.7SS one
year ago.
Fully 76,957 men are serving as vol
unteer scout officials-12, 204 scoutmas-
tiers, 1898 assistant scoutmasters,
5O,816 as members of troop commit
tees or local councils and as commits
sioners or other scout officials.
Comparison Of the records shows
that the membership has practically
doubled within two years, and the in
crease In the number Of troops has
been nearly as large in proportion.
To deal with this group Of 1854, PA
men and boys there are less than 300
men engaged in scout work profess
sionally.
The Boy Scouts Of America was in
corporated February 8, 1910, and was
