FLAT FOOT PROJECTIONS
o5 of Every 1000 Disqualified Be
cause of This

One of the things that we have
learned from the examination of
men for the army is that a large
number of young men of military
age are handicapped because of fiat
foot, writes DR.. Isaac w. Brewer,
major, M. r. c., U. S., in the De-
cember issue of Health News" the
monthly bulletin of the New York
state Department of Health. In
CIVIL life, he says, this is not always
serious matter, but a soldier is
only as good as his feet, and there
1ore any deformity of the foot is of
the greatest Importance. DR.. Brew
er observes:
OF the white men who applied
Tor enlistment in the United States
Army during the period from 1912
10 1919, inclusive, 55 out of every
1000 were disqualified because of
nat foot. Thirteen per cent. of the
men examined by him since the out
break of war were rejected for this
reason. A large number of the men
who were so passed later appeared
on the sick list because the condi-
ton of their feet precluded thei
engaging in the strenuous exercise
incident to the training of the SOL
der.
About 400 such men from various
parts of the country were placed un-
der treatment by Lieutenant II. b
Perry, Medical Officers Reserve
Corps, at Fort Ethan Allen, Yer
mont, and about 90 per cent. were
returned to the ranks cured or sc
relieved that they were able to con-
tinue their training without discom-
fort

BIG PROGRAM
FOR TROOP Is
Boys Give Good Demonstra-
ton of Their Long
Training

The program carried out by Troop
Is at the meeting last Friday night
to which the parents and friends of
the Scouts were invited proved q
wonderful success in creating inter-
est in the minds of the visitors that
scouting is the best thing possible for
the training and development of the
fine qualities present in the present
day American boy. Demonstrations
of various lines OF scout work and
helpful invigorating contests brought
frequent applause from the visitors
who crowded the scout rooms in the
Sixth Street United Brethren Church
and gave the scouts of Troop Is the
full assurance that their organiza-
ton and troop is backed by many
warm and enthusiastic supporters of
scout activities. Ten prospective
new members were gained among
the boys who merely came as visi-
tors, desiring to investigate for
themselves in just what manner they
would be benefited should they join
the organization. 1t is needless to
say they went away from the dem
onstration alive with the determina-
ton to apply for membership.
The program opened with a stave
drill and exercises under the direc-
ton of Assistant Scout Master w. l..
Mehaffie and the various patrols
showed excellent form in these eXer-
cises as we'll as the regular drilling
which followed next in order, di-
rected by Scoutmaster Shenk.
Cock fighting with the spurs next
held the attention and Scout Scribe
Harold Smedley proved the cham

Quartet Works Hards and
Is Able to Give a Good
Account of Itself

An entertainment was given for
the amusement of the boys last Fri
day evening in the meeting room
of the troop at 715. The Glee Club
sang several selections and then pic
lures were shown on the life of
George Washington, and scenes
along the Hudson river, over the
routes that he travelled.
Through Mr.. Manser's kindness a
beautiful picture of the troop flag
was given to each boy. The pic
ture was taken in the church as
the flag stood there in the front
Of the church between the big, white
columns.
Troop IL was scheduled for a
game with the Shimmell Grammar
school, and all the arrangements
had been made concerning the
game. The Shimmell team, how
ever, did not show up though Troop
IL was there in full force and ready
for a victory. Someone's careless
ness on the part of Shimmell was
due to not playing the game. Spar
row, Shanner. Bricker, Seighman
and Crist were on hand for the
game.
A quartet was picked from the
Iiee CluD some time ago. Iney
have been practicing hard right
along and some one from the Derry
Street U. B. Church got wind of
the fact that these boys were doing
some fine singing. The quartet was
asked, as the result. to sing at the
social entertainment of the Mems
Bible Glass of that church, and the
quartet made its first public appear
ance Thursday night, February 21.
The meetings have been full of
interest and all scouts of the troop
should attend.

pion in this fight, a$ none of the
other scouts we're able to contest
successfully against him.
Senior Patrol Leader Simons with
his Eagle Patrol demonstrated the
method of signaling, using the In
ternational Morse code, and Scout r.
Barnhart, called the baby scout on
account of his smallness, gave the
scout oath and law and fully eX-
planned each point in same.
The Wolf Patrol next staged lit
tie woodland scene in which they
used and explained various forms of
first aid to the injured. Patrol Lead
er Horst has been hard at work with
his patrol and has recruited it to
full membership with several names
ing of the Bob Whites, then gave
an exhibition of knot tying.
The Rev. Joseph Daugherty then
spoke to the boys and lauded them
for their attainments in scout work :
also commended them because of
their excellent conduct in and about
the church, and the manifested
change for the better in their young
lives. He also spoke a word of praise
to the parents and friends of the
boys for their interest shown by at
tending the meetings of the troop.
G. e. McCaslin, a member of the
scout committee, then spoke to the
boys along various scouting lines
and also commended them for their
splendid training, and their demean-
or. Mr.. McCaslin knows some
thing concerning the past records
of most of the boys as he is super
intendent of the Sunday school to
which many members of the troop
attend.
The meeting was closed by sing
ing the Star Spangled Banner" and
the sounding of taps by Scout Bug
Ter M. Burd. All present voted the
meeting a wonderful success and
voiced their determination to be
better scouts"
The merit system has been car
ried out since the organization of
the troop last July and has proved
wonderful success in keeping the
scouts active. The honor member
of the troop for the highest percen-
tage in merits during the month of
February is Scout Scribe Harold
Smedley OF the VOLTS, who had a
perfect record of 100 per cent.
The Eagle Patrol had the highest
patrol percentage for the month and
the first four honor scouts are Sen
ior Patrol Leader L. Simons, Joseph
Goodyear, Russell Barnhart and Har-
ry Eichelberger.

Scout Scribe.
