Troop Eight Made a Good
Showing in Basketball

The basketball team of Troop s,
which got a very late start, has de-
cided to quit for the season. Con-
sidering the fact that the team had
very little practice together, except
on evenings when games were play
ed with other teams, we have made
good showing. The team played
but four games, of which two were
won and two lost. After the game
of last evening, with the team of
Troop IL, the season ended.
Starting with next Monday the
troop will strive for honors on the
track and field The troop has some
very good material along this line
and expects to make a good show
ing in the coming events. The fell
lows are all in favor of a track
team and are back of it so firmly
that if the spirit keeps up as it is,
it will lead but to victory.
In the collection of books for the
soldiers, this troop (Which is one
of the smallest in the city, took
third honors with a total of 507
books to their credit.
Since the scout page has started
in this paper the scouts have been
reading about the different troops
of the city losing their scoutmastcrs
through the war. We thought we
would escape it. but now comes the
news that W. j. Shader. our
present scoutmaster is to hold him
self in readiness to answer at the
first call, which he expects any day.
So now we have to start out on
our hunt for a scoutmaster, and "Oh,
Boy!' this is going to be SOME
job. These are the exact words
of the whole troop. We'll, here's
wishing ourselves luck"
Last Monday, one week after the
meeting, the members of the troop
held hike out into the country.
n good time was mad by everyone
who was along with us. Last Sat
urday the troop held a hike under
Scout Smith. The fellows hiked
over back of New Cumberland to
the hills. A general, all-around good
time was had. Scout Homire stopp-
ed in store and spent all of his
money On the way home, if it had
not been for the kindness of Smith,
he would be over on the Cumber-
land shore yet.
The troop will be under the di-
rection of Patrol Leader Harry Birch
field on Saturday morning, and a
good showing is hoped for by the
acting scoutmaster. Be at the troop
headquarters by s o'clock Saturday
morning, with your lunch ready, to
report for duty. Birchheld will be
assisted by Harlan Kline on Satur-
day.

4 NEWS AND NOTES OF THE BOY S00UTS$
Troop Twenty Enjoyed
Big Union Meeting

Troop 20 held union meeting of
uptown troops last Friday evening.
Owing to the Tech-Central basketball
game, only about 125 scouts were
present.
After snort parade, in which
Troop 20 escorted the visiting troops
to their headquarters at the Fifth
Street M. E. Church. each troop
was tremendously received.
The opening march was played by
the scout orchestra of Troop Z,
which played the different musical
selections during the evening and
made a fine showing.
The meeting proper was opened
with a prayer by Scoutmaster Har-
vev Klaer. of Troop fS, and the
signing of the allegiance to the flag.
America" was sung next, each
verse of which was illustrated. The
new stanZa wa sincluded also.
Frank c. Sites, Postmaster of
Harrisburg. gave a short talk on
War Savings stamps and urged every
scout to be on the job for the pig
drive tomorrow At the close oil
Mr.. Sites talk beautifully-color
slide of the scouts third Liberty
Loan poster was shown ana recelNeu
much applause. This is the tlrst
time it was ever shown in the city.
The next few minutes We're de-
voted to the singing of several war
time songs.
O. p. Beckley, who has recently
returned from Florida, was next on
the program, and gave very inter-
esting talk on this tropical state and
showed many beautiful pictures,
some of which made the audience
envy the southerns, who live amid
pineapples and sugar cane all the
year around.
The meeting was closed by singing
the national anthem. Immediately
following the last verse the Boy
Scout poster was again thrown on
the screen with the result that a
great uproar of applause was let
loose with more force than usually
expected from a small audience, but
this audience was scout audience!

The Boy Scout of to-day will be
the man of tomorrow. The scout
with foresight, will look ahead to
the time when he is a man, and his
whole effort will be to make the
world better when lie is a man.
In sunny France to-day, thousands
of brave and good men are dying
on the field of battle that the boy
of to-day may be a man tomorrow.
The fight against the ruthless Hun
is waged by the father as a pro-
tection for his son. But Scouts
must put their shoulders to the
wheel, too, if this nation is to be
saved for democracy; if America is
to be a land of the free! The boys

tentions of joining Troop 13, in
Mansfield, in honor of the Troop he
left. Scout Crerie was in good
standing among the scouts and at
tended regularly. Crerie was liked
by everyone, and the Troop missed

NO DlseANDINe OF ARMY.
Big American Military Machine Must
Operate for Some time,

MISUNDERSTANDING of the armis-
tice with Germany, which brings the
world war to an end, does not mean
that the great American military ma
chine will cease to operate at once.
America must play an important part
in disarming and guarding the enemy
and until this work is completed even
the troop movement to France will
continue, although on greatly re-
duced scale.
During the interval between the
cessation of hostilities and the con-
clusion of the peace conference it is
assumed that she major portion of
General Perszling's eXpeditionary
forces in France must be retained
there. 1t is possible also that for rea-
sons of international politics some
American garrisons may be kept in
disputed territory even after actual
peace negotiations have been closed.

To be possessed OF a head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
q matter of using little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a
small bottle of Knowltons Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance Of abundance,
freshness, flutliness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruf
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and
downy at first-yes-but really new
har-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderne Is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
II you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft glossy and beautiful in just
few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

SYSTEM

In these busy and absorbing times, women have little enough thought to give to their wardrobes; but perhaps those who are constantly travelling from place to place, living in their trunks" as the expression goes, have least of all. Then, too, the problem of providing appropriate garments for different climates is a difficult one. One such woman whose husbands profession necessitates her being without a permanent home and who is constantly changing from one coun-. try to another, has worked out plan whereby she may be always well dressed, yet with slight expenditure of money and thought, says the Chris tian Science Monitor.
 At first, it seemed. desirable to buy new clothes whenever she' pulled up stakes and moved on to the next stop ping-place, then it was found impera- tive to eliminate the tedious process entailed. Gradually, it became evil dent that 1t was really necessary for her to have only two heavy dresses, made of serge or of some similar serviceable stuff. These she might wear on the street, in an office or house; and, by having two, one was always found to be fresh and in or der. Each was carefully pressed and mended, of course. With these gowns this woman, enjoyed wearing a small, plain weather-proof hat. Next she purchased two' silk gowns, these be- ing designed for the street in warm weather. By giving these frocks the same attention that she gave her serge ones she found that they might be made to. serve for house dresses on cool afternoons or in the winter. 4 hat of combined maline or net and velvet looked well with these dresses, and this might be worn the year round A suit of plain, medium- weight material was chosen next, un- adorned with fur, an accompanying hat of satin making this costume. ap- propriate on a number of different occasions. Two coats were necessary too, one for common street wear, or rainy days or while motoring, and one for afternoon and evening wear These were easily found in such ma terials as to make it possible to wear them in either winter or summer Then, too, a dark medium weight separate skirt was thought advisable, for use on stormy days, for skating or golf.
 For very warm weather, this wom- an had ready at hand three white skirts, made of some such material as white wash corduroy, to be worn with white shirtwaists and a black or
