and The United States Boy Scout,
and TO differentiate between the OBJ
Jects and the activities of the two
Mr.. Swami and his assistants for
two months have been making a
searching examination of the meth
ods employed by the United States
Boy Scout in raising funds through
so-called patriotic" appeals, and it
is understood that the whole matter
may soon he presented to the Grand
Jury for consideration.
The suggestion made by District
Attorney Swami to Secretary Baker
is timely because it has Just been
learned that the United States Boy
Scout has recently sent out from
New York another appeal for funds
to supply boys with uniforms and
equipment. Because of similarity of
names many misguided patriotic citi-
Zens have responded to similar ap-
peals in the past under the impress
sion that they were contributing to
the support cf the real Boy Scout
organization.
The Boy Scouts of America never
train with guns, yet while it is non
militaristic. its scouting program is
recognized as the best sort of pre-
paration for the life of a soldier as
well as for useful citizenship, as
shown abundantly in the war work
of these genuine scouts.
The fact that militarism is not n
part of its program should be warn
ing enough to all the friends and
loyal supporters of the Boy Scouts
of America, which now numbers
more than 44S,000 scouts and scout
officials and is growing at a more
rapid rate than ever before

TO PROTECT The PUBLIC
FROM WAR AID" FRAUD
District Attorney Swami of New York After Long
Investigation Makes Recommendations to
Secretary of War Baker

The difficulty the public finds in
distinguishing between the great,
nationwide organization of Boy
Scouts of America and such an or
ganization as the United States Boy
Scout is used by District Attorney
Swami, of New York county, as the
illustrating example in a letter he
has sent 20 Secretary of War Baker
making recommendations meant to
prevent patriotic citizens from being
defrauded by irresponsible war aid"
societies.
District Attorney Swann's letter is
addressed TO Secretary Baker as
Chairman of the Council of National
Defense and in part reads as follows:
MY investigations, covering the
period of more than six months last
past, convince me that war charities
and allied activities should be, for
the duration of the war, under off,
cial supervision in order to protect
the public against imposition, and
the man at the front in the enjoy
ment of the intended benefices.
Patriotic societies should be sub
ject to national supervision and con-
troll and the bonafide ones would
not object to reasonable regulation.
This would prevent rival alleged pa
triotic organizations from springing
up and attempting to take advan-
tage of the good name and reputa-
ton of her original society.
1T should not be possible for two
patriotic organizations tn exist where
the public cannot distinguish be-
tween them. For instance. il is very
difficult for the public to distinguish
between the Boy Scouts of America
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-08-09

care and use of the rife. Moreover,
It would involve a change of laws in
most of the states of the Unior.
Under these conditions the Boy
Scouts ot America have proceeded
on the theory of doing the things
w1lCh were most serviceable for the
Character development and citizen
ship training of the boy and of the
greatest service to the state and the
Union. The wisdom of this course
in thelast eieeht years from a pure
ly military point of view is fully JUS
t!hed by the splendid support of
General 9ershing and other military
anG naval authorities. under whom
over 100000 former scouts and
scout officials are now doing active
military service.
The Bou Scouts of America have
at all times encouraged marksman-
ship and the use of firearms under
proper Superl ision. Indeed, from the
Very start a merit badge for profici-
eEcv in Tksmanship has been Of
fered. stipu'ating, however. that all
practice and the test for this merit
badge must be on an approved rifle
range under adequate supervision.
Thois condition reveals the basis of
concern OF the part of the Boy
Scouts OF America with reference to
the use of firearms. 1t is realized
that without proper safeguards, the
use OF firearms by boys in their teens
is dangerous, and the Boy Scouts ~:
NT1 erica must exercise very strong
leader ship IN avoiding the dangers
involved

TEST FIRE MAKING

The most important part of the
test in fire making is to be sure that
the Scout Will never, under any
conditions. build fire which could
by any possibility get beyond his con-
troll, or fail to eNtinguish the fire
even to the last spark before leaving
H.
Thousands of acres of valuable
woodland. scores of homes and
large areas OF valuable crops have
been DESTROYED as a result of care
lessness in starting or leaving fires.
The natural tendency of boy is 20
overlook precautions in his excite
ment over the building and use OF
the fire. These precautions must be
repeated ana emphasized by pre-
cept and example. He can be taught
TO use the necessary safeguards I'M
til this becomes a habit.
Actual Experience Necessary
A Scout official stated not long
ago that upon taking charge of n
troop he asked how the preceding
scoutmaster had given the tests.
The reply was: He sat down at a
Ia BILE with the list of the tests be-
fore him and asked, Do you know
how to use the knife and AK? Do
YOU know how to make a fire? Do
YOU know how to COOKE etc" If
the answer was in the affirmative
he checked the test and gave .he
Scout credit for it. Naturally. most
of the answers were in the affirna-
tive.
This inefficient and fraud-inviting
method is rare. Scout officials every
where realize that it is the worst
sort of unkindness to give a scout
credit for the fire making test or
any other test in practical scoutcraft
unless he is sure that the scout
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-08-09

could, in case of necessity, make his
fire with out assistance. and would,
without reminder. safeguard it in
way which would prevent any
harm coming from it and no real
scout would accept credit gained in
this way.
The fire building or cooking tests
can only be given on hikes or dur
ing camp. They must be learned by
experience.
Secrets of Fire Building
There are two main secrets in fire.
building-thc material used, and tho
way to lay the material in order 10
get a good draught.
No scout would use paper or oil
as tinder TO start his fire. Use any
thing found in nature" is the rule.
Shredded bark, leaves. or sliced
twigs make good kindling. On top
of the kindlins put slightly larger
twigs, but be sure to have the twigs
separated in order that the air may
penetrate TO the interior of the pile.
When the blaze is going strongly add
the large kindling, but not enough
to smother The fire.
The real test of fire building is to
make it on a rainy day. Yet it is not
impossible by any means. The Sc
cret is TO learn where dry wood can
be found. Dead limbs on trees are
usually the best to use. After peel
ing off the bark. the Scout will find
they are fairly dry
In practicing for the test, the
Scout should see how small a fire
will answer his purpose-not how big
a blaze he can get.
OF course. the test is not complete
until the fire is extinguished either
by soaking with water or smothering
with earth

Troop II had an important busi-
ness meeting last Friday.
The troop has decided not to fall
into debt on its camping trip this
year. and by vote of troop and ap-
proval of Scoutmaster Haehnlen has
decided to have a festival. Each
scout will be given his tickets and
a quota on his sales accordingly and
will be expected to do his share in
the sales.
A few pictures of the troop on its
overnight hike were taken and
printed and the troop decided to
keep record of all actions, hikes.
etc, in the way of photographs and
buy an album in which to put them.
A committee consisting of several
scouts was appointed to take care of
this. A picture of each individual of
the troop is to be taken in the near
future.

Way to Success.

Power is the goal of every worthy ambition and only weakness. comes from imitation or dependence. .On Oth- CTS, says writer in Success. Power is self-develOped, self-generated. We cannot increase the strength of 0ir muscles by sitting in a .gymnasiuTn and letting another exercise for us.
 Nothing else so destroys thes power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean you. never will be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world.
 The man who tries to give his chill dren a start in the world so that they will not have so hard time as he had is unknowingly bringing disaster upon them. What he calls giving them a start probably will give them a set back in the world. Young people need all the motive power they can get. They are naturally Ieaners, imitators, cOpiers, and 1t is easy for them. to de- velop into echoes or limitations. They will not walk alone while you furnish crutches; they will lean upon you just as long as you will let them.
 One of the greatest delusions that a human being could ever have Is that he Is permanently benefited by cOntin- ued assistance from others.

Miners Live Lono.

1t is an extraordinary fact that even when deaths from accident are includ- ed, the rate of mortality among miners of Great Britain is materially lower than that among any other big class of labor, except agriculturlsts, and ap- preciably lower than the average rate of mortality among males. This fact was discovered by Doctor Tatham, while acting as superintendent of sta. tistics in the office Of the registrar gem eral. Doctor Tatham points out that while the risk of fatal accidents among the coal miners Is much greater than among other males genera1ly. fheir risk of death by disease is much lower, being 16.6 per cent less than all occu- pied males, and 2S.2 per cent less than that of all males. While coal miners appear to suffer mora than the aver age mortality from bronchitis. they show marked immunity from consump- ton, their mortality from that disease being less than hal the average. From diseases of the nervous system their mortality is IS per cent lower heark disease, 10 per cent lower, and from disease of The liver. 10 .per eetAt loWsE than among au males.

WHERE TO LOOK FOR WIFE
Seek Her in Butchers Shop, Says This Writer, and Mark Just How
 She Buys.

A good housewife will look at least two square meals ahead of her nose. The modern system of marketing dur ing the high cost regime is such fine art that youth contemplating matri- mony should hie to the market place for selecting a bride. My boy, Zim advises in Cartoons Magazine, when you see a maiden pinching, smelling and pricing 8 soup bone, you may rely on her. sense of economy, for she is looking forward not less than two meals. The soup bone, when cooked, is merely food in the rough or primi- tive state. It's choicest by-prodiicts are realized after bouiflon stage. Thereafter comes gOulash, the cro- quettes and the luscious hash. By all means avoid the girl who orders choice cuts of pOrterhouse or English mutton chops. She will not make good help mate. But the girl who selects the ichuck or neck pieces or the tail end of "a ham bone, and renders them into dainty, palatable dishes is the one you want. So take my advice and seek the market place when you feel that you ihaye had your fill of bachelor Ioneli- ness and wish taste of wedlOck. Fol low such a girl around until you are perfectly satisfied, then nail her.
