A Queer World.

Seventy years is not long time
as the world runs. It covers, perhaps,
the lifetime Of man, but in the pur-
view which sees the centuries DROP
ping ''like grains Of sand" in the
eternal hour glass, it is not even a
grain. Thousands of we'll preserved
men and women whose birth year is
1843, or better, will agree that seven
ty-five years is mot so much," taken
as time merely.
But when we consider seventy five
years in the view Of the changes they
have brought, thought is overwhelmed
at the new world of achievement and of
changed viewpoints on so many mate
rial and spiritual things.
An illustration of these changed
viewpoints came to notice in England
only the other day when an insurance
company, searching old records
brought to light an application for life
insurance, and the remarkable way the
applicant was treated because of his
peculiar habits Of life and warped
views Of things as they were seen
through the business eye of 1843.
This applicant for insurance was a
total abstainer-a very rare bird ap.
parently in 1912. He drank no alco.
holic beverage, and so he was looked
upon with suspicion. Was the risk {
safe one? The directors of the insur
ance company decided that this

The strain Of everwork tells on
weakened kidneys. The hurry and
worry of business men, the heavy lift

women's household cares, tend to
wear, weaken and in5ure the kidneys
until they can no longer filter the
poison from the blood and the whole
body suffers from the waste matter
that accumulates. Weakened kidneys

Mystery of Who Got Private
Railway Declared Solved
in Lykens Squire's Court

Lykens, Pa, June 21.-After
months of wonderment and some
amount of private detective work,
the mystery of the disappeared
tracks of the crusher railroad line of
borough council has been solved.
As tod before Justice Young, of
Lykens, they were taken at the or
der of John Reiff, a councilman of
Lykens. and placed on some of his
private property.
In 1909 borough council decided
to operate a private stone crusher
located on private land and placed
there with consent of the owner. A
private narrow gauge line was built
TO convey rocks to the crusher. At
ter operations ceased, the crusher
line was left in position in the glen
until August, 1917, when approxi-
mately one and one-half miles of
track mysteriously disappeared. The
land owner then posted printed no
tees as specified under the "Trespass
act of 1906"
Investigations were started and a
reward of S25 offered by Burgess
Wilmer for information leading to
the location of the tracks and the
apprehension of the person or per-
sons who took them. After a period
of several months, Reiff volunteered
the information that he know where
the rails were. but refused to say
how they got there. After further
investigation information was secur-
ed to the effect that H. F. Malick. a
lumberman of Lykens, at the order
of Reiff, had sent force of men
with teams to remove the rails. IT
is not known at present what fur
ther action will be. taken by borough
authorities

'UNCLESAM NOT TO
TAKE UNIFORMS
Scouts Needlessly Alarmed
Over Rumor Not Based
on Fact

Some worriment may have been
porting resolution by wooden manu-
facturers that all khaki cloth should
be restricted to the governments
order and definitely naming the Boy
Scouts of America as among those
who would suffer accordingly.
The alarm was largely groundless.
| however, SO far as scouts are con-
oerned. The regulation uniform of
the Boy Scouts of America is of spe-
cial olive drab cotton cloth of lighter
weight than the summer uniform
which is furnished to the Army.
Scout Uniform Is Legalized
James E. West, Chief Scout Ex-
ecutive of the Boy Scouts of America,
makes the following statement:
There is no need for concern on
the part of the 344,2S6 scouts and
SS,253 scout officials about the dan
ger of having to give up the use of
their official khaki uniform at this
time. This matter has been taken up
very definitely with the officials at
Washington.
I'm the first place. the Boy Scouts
of America are recognized by the
government as part of the machin-
cry for winning the war. Not only is
this recognition established as mat
ter of fact because of the practical
results of their activities. but is
based upon their Federal Charter
and the provisions in the Army Re-
organization Law, which specifically,
in section 1926. legalizes the uniform
of the Boy Scouts of America.
The Only Boys to Wear Khaki
Indeed, the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea is the only organization outside
of the Army, the Navy and the
Marine Corps and the National
Guard and the Naval Militia which is
specifically mentioned in the Act.
However. I feel sure that every
scout and scout official would gladly
give up this material or anything
else in the way of equipment and
supplies of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea which might be needed or helpful
for the quick organization of our new
army and a determined effort to win
the war. In fact, about a year ago
the scouts gave up their mackinaws
because of the needs of the Army,
There Arc Over 100000 Equipped
"At the present time. there are
over 100000 boys uniformed and
equipped, and the adoption of a new
style of uniform would mean sooner
or later that this entire group would
have to discard their present uni
form to secure the one made of any
new material which might. be adopt
ed But the Boy Scouts of America
will be found ready to render this
or any other service to speed the
winning of the war.
The purpose of this statement is
simply to relieve anxiety on the part
of many boys. Some boys have con-
strued the newspaper publicity to
mean that they should stop wearing
their uniforms from now on"

PIZZIMENTI IS
GRANTED PARDON
Man Who Got in and Out and
Then in Again Recon-
mended For Release

dons last night in recommending a

was refused pardon and three times
applications for rehearingS were re-
fused.
The board to-day notified Thomas
w. Barlow, counsel for Mrs. Freda
frost. Philadelphia murderess, that
she had been refused a pardon. This
hearing attracted much attention
late yesterday, and Lieutenant Gov
ernor McClain and Secretary of
the Commonwealth Woods declared
themselves vigorously against a par
don.

ENJOY HIKES
Boys Have Many Big Times
Under All Sorts of
Conditions

The Cobra Patrol of Troop 13 to
become more closely bound together
has decided to take patrol hikes.
Saturday turned out a fine spring
day and with Assistant Patrol
Leader Moeslein, on the job, the
patrol got permission from a we'll
known friend of his, to go through
the aviation camp at Middletown.
The Cobra Patrol assembled at the
Boyd Hall and left the city for the
camp on the nine o'clock street car.
Securing Il pass from their friend,
Major Gray, they found many things
of interest in the upper grounds of
the camp. After seeing all that was
to be seen, for the guide left them
miss nothing, in the upper grounds,
the scouts came to the lower grounds
where the kings of the Air" were
stored. After viewing the grounds
the patrol left for home. Those who
were on the trip We're: Hagar. Noes
lein. Keller, Whitman. Corkle. Huber.
Bayless. Maglauchlin and Krause:
The percentage of War gardens in
the troop are large and all the boys
who have yards are urged to grow
vegetables and those who have gar
dens are: VIM. Maglauchlin. Donald
Brink, Joe Hagar, Joe Shaffner. Ed
ward Mes, Mitchell Dreese, Louis
and Charles Krause. Robert Lenig,
Robert Keller. Carl and Christie
Blumenstine, Sam Poet, John For
ney, Foster Keller and George Shu-
baurer.
And those who are doing more
than garden work are those who
are working on the farms and those
are: Donald McCammant, Carl
IIttha a,
Clouser.
Although Troop 13 has no track
team, she has fellows who like to
run and as the result six gold medals
were purchased and awarded to
scouts who won the race with the
course from the Boyd Hall to Front
street, to Walnut Street bridge, to
island, down road to drive way, to
racing track and around once and
back to the Boyd Hall the same
course as was in going.
All those who won received gold
medals, and those who were winners
We're: Senior class-Dreese, first;
Huber, second and Hagar, third. The
Junior class came in with the win
ners: Blumenstine first; Huber, sec
ond and Moeslein, third.
The troop held their fifty-first
meeting at Spooky Hollow with fine
results and all the scouts are in
favor of. the one-hour ahead "plan!"
The scouts met at the Boyd Hall
and from there hiked to the Hol-
low. At the Arsenal. several scouts
who lived on the Hill met the troop
and with thirty-three scouts present.
the troop had a fine time. Scouts
took off their tests and as the sun
fell over the ridges of the mountain.
the troop toasted marshmallows and
although some burned, the rest were
eaten with fine order of indigestion.
After the meeting and the telling
of spooky stories, the troop hiked
back to town and arrived there

Enjoy Long Hike to
Grove Beyond Dauphin

Troop to a grove on Wednesday,
three miles beyond Dauphin, by
seventeen Scouts and Scoutmasters,
to stay over night IN the grove The
weather was ideal. On account of
the cool night blankets were at u
premium before the night was over
There was a lot to be seen through
Clark Valley. Some men were in
terviewed by the Scouts relative to
the sale of walnut trees to the United
States government
About twenty-five miles were COW
cred by the Troop but only Charles
Steiger, Joseph Goldstein, and the
Scoutmaster finished with perfect
scores. Too many tenderfeet, you
know
There will be no meeting of the
Troop this week owing to the Sun
day School picnic of the United
Evangelical Church, at Paxtang, to-
day.
More interest is being taken rel
ative to the various tests. The
Scouts are anxious to get out of the
