Boy Scouts OF America.)
SCOUTS LED, NOT DRIVEN

To do all the undone things, to com
plete all the war tasks of the back-at-
home battle-ground, to give help unpaid
wherever. other organizations need
helping, is the gladly volunteered serv-
Ice offered to the government by 353,-
O4S of Americas young chaps that
can't get into the army or navy any
how.
Raising gardens, selling bonds, dis
tributing official information, coaxing
quarters for Var Stamps, saving food
and fuel-and urging everybody else
to do these things-are among the du-
ties of patriots rs exemplifed by the
organization Of the Boy Scouts Of
America.
No n makes the boys do these
things. They are not paid-thus there
is no compulsion. No one over them
has authority to say, "YOu must do
this" They just follow the compul-
sion to duty as expressed In the scout
oath and brought into action by the
leadership Of men acting as scoutmas-
tiers and as troop committeeman and
as members of local councils.
Among all these thousands of men
leaders there are less han 300 paid
workers-and these for the most part
are scout executives directly hired to
look after the scouts by councils of
business men in cities where there are
quite a few troops.
The tremendous task of rousing
these voluntary workers to an ener-
getic answer to the many calls of the
government falls upon one mantle

DATA ON AMERICAN DEATHS
Many States and Cities;
Also In Hawaii.

Recent inclusion of Hawaii has ex-
tended beyond the limits OF continental
United States the area for which the
census bureau annually collects and
publishes death statistics. Within this
area now reside about 70 per cent OF
the total population Of continental
United States and Hawaii. 1t COM
prises in all q states, 43 cities In
other states, the District of Columbia
and the territory of Hawaii.
East Of the Mississippi the only
states not included are Alabama, Della
ware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missis-
sippi and West Virginia, while west Of
the Mississippi the only states includ-
ed are California, Colorado, Kansas,
Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Utah
and Washington.
The annual collection of death sta
tstics from states and cities maintain
ing adequate registration systems was
begun by the census bureau in 1902,
the first report covering the calendar
years 1900 to 1904, inclusive, and for
each succeeding year a separate report
has been published.
The original registration area con-
tained 40 per cent of the total popu-
iation Of the country. 1t remained un-
changed until 1906, since which year
1t has shown an almost uninterrupted
Increase In geographical extent and In
proportion Of total population, until at
present 1t contains nearly three-fourths
OF the country's inhabitants.

SCOUTS ARE GOOD SOLDIERS.

AS an organization the scout move
ment is not military in thought, form
or spirit. although 1t does instill in
boys the military virtues, such as hon
or, loyalty, obedience and patriotism
Ihe uniform, the patrol, the troop.
and the drill are not for military tac-
tics; they are for the unity. the har-
mony and the rhythm Of spirit that
boys learn in scouting. It is in the
wearing of the uniform and doing of
things together as scouts that they alb
sort the force and truth of the scout
law, which states: "a scout is a friend
of all, and a brother to every other
scout"
While the spirit of scouting is not
militaristic, the experiences Of the last
year have completely demonstrated
that outdoor scout training with its
cooking, camping. hiking, signaling.
map reading. wireless, electricity.
knowledge of woodcraft and ability to
care for oneself in the open helps i'm
measurably in fitting a man for the
duties of a soldier.
While scouting as a teen-age boy
program very properly is not militar-
lstic from a technical standpoint, it is,
however, patriotic. as proven by last
years wonderful record Of scout ma
tion-wide, civic war service for the
navy department, in the two Liberty
bond campaigns, in the gardening
propaganda, In selling War Savings
stamps, in distributing more than
100000 patriotic documents for the

SCOUT GAME, NOT SPY PLOT.

Mysterious notes found in hiding
places on the street in indianapolis
recently caused much CONSERVATION I'm
the neighborhood and resulted In n
call for the police. Visions Of some
mysterious spy plot filed the minds of
those who read the notes.
A boy found n folded letter on a
street corner, which directed him to 90
to the bread box outside the corner
grocery, where further directions
would be found. Although the night
was dark the boy followed up the d.
rectiOns.
On the bread box he found another
note even more mysterious. which di-
rected him to go to the first street.
then north. and then to the nearest
lamp post. The alarm was given and
the police took up the trail.
Rev. Hugh S. Clutton Of the Tux
edo Baptist church. 20 Garfield avenue
admitted he was the a%rch-plotter. and
had %innocently caused all the trouble.
The explanation was very simple. Mr.
Clutton, with the boy scouts of his
church, were playing one Of their
tracking games.
He went ahead in an automobile.
and he placed tracking directions. and
IL was up to the boys to follow the
notes and find him and the automo-
bile.

MARVELS OF SURGERY IN WAR
Surgeons With Allies Fighters Repair
Seemingly Hopeless Cases Of
Shattered Bone.

The marvels of surgery which have
resulted from the stimulus Of war
work have COMPOUNDED the prophets.
News Of the bravery of u fighting
men is not more inspiring than the
accounts which come In constantly Of
the achievements of the scientists Of
the entente in the field of surgery
and medicine, says Portland O%regonian.
There landed in an eastern port the
other day a Canadian soldier who Is
only one Of the thousands who can
thank their stars that constructive SCI
ence is keeping pace with destructive
enterprise. He had been In the thick
Of the fighting at Ypres In 1915, shrap-
mel had shattered the bones of both
ankles and both wrists. For a long
time he lay in a London hospital, be-
lieving that his case was hopeless and
that he would be a cripple for life.
Then came surgeons who undertook
the delicate task Of literally Setting
him on his feet" Eventually he
emerged two inches or so shorter
than when he enlisted, walking
straight, with agile step, and with full
command of his arms and hands.
In principle the repair Of this sol
der was not a wholly new thing;
bone surgery had made material adj
vances in the decade before the war
began. An interesting feature of the
case, however, is that 1t was part Of
the routine Of a military hospital, that
the surgeons who performed the high
ly intricate operation and made COM
plete restoration Of a mar who 20
years ago would have been doomed
to a life of hopeless h%elplessness makes
no claim to especial merit, and that
the whole accomplishment was treated
as a matter Of course. The soldier
is so far recovered that he expects
presently to return joyfully to the fir
ing line; the surgeons turn without
more ado to the next case, which may
be seemingly quite as hopeless but
wholly different In matters Of technic
and detail.
