.
In an automobile accident on the
Augusta road, about six miles from
the city, yesterday morning about TO-
O'Clock, Julian jenkins, II years of
age, whose home is in Pelzer, was
instantly killed, and Chas. u. Nell
son, Pelzer chief Of police, was seri-
ously though not fatally injured. The
accident was the result Of tire on
the car in which the two men were
riding having blown out, causing the
machine to turn over. Chief Nelson
was the owner Of the machine, a
Ford, and was driving it when the
accident occurred.
According to reports from Pelzer
last night, the men came to Green

pose OF taking back to Pelzer Char
lie Jenkins, of Camp Sewer, a bro
Sher of the young man who was kill
ed. They found that the young man
for whom they had come had gone to
Pelzer by train, whereupon they
started on the return trip home.
When about six miles out from the
city the tire blew out and the fatal
accident occurred. The rate of SD eed
at which they were travelling Is said
to have been not more than 20 miles
per hour. Both the dead man and
MS Injured companion were taken on
to Pelzer, where the latter was given
medical attention. He was reported
last night to be resting easily and
will probably recover.

was killed, was a book-keoper for
the Pelzer Manufacturing Company,
and the son of Matt Jenkins, of that
place.

CAN BE A PIONEER SCOUT.

There are thousands of boys from
the backwoods of Maine to the ranches
of California, and from the Everglades
of Florida to the plains of the great
Northwest, who have not joined the
Boy Scouts of America, because of the
impracticabjlity of organizing troops
In their home towns. For such boys
and only such boys-who find ii impos-
sible to be active members Of troops.
provisions have been made for enroll
ing them as Pioneer Scouts.
A Pioneer Scout is admitted to men,
bershlp upon written application on a
form provided by the national council.

legations are the same as those Of the
active scouts who are members Of
troops. He receives certificate of
membership in the same way as men,

HELP TO EXTEND SCOUTING.

Two officers of the national council
of the Boy Scouts of America, at great
personal sacrifice, have visited Chi
cago and Boston to help stimulate in
terest in boy scout campaigns.
Treasurer George ID. Pratt is vice
president of the Brooklyn Borough
Scout council, but his interest in the
local work is not confined to his own
city. He took very active part in
the intensive development of scouting
on the Pacific coast for several years.
He has now been in Chicago in CON
nection with the Inauguration Of their
financial campaign.
Mr.. Mortimer l.. Schiff went to Bos-
ton for similar purpose. He has
made such trips to other cities in the
past. Mr.. Schiff also takes a keen
interest in the work in New York city.
where he is interested in Troop One
Hundred and Twenty-one and other
troops.

SCOUTS
SCOUTS ARE GROWING FAST
by National Council OF the
Scouts of America.)

On December 81 the records Of the
Boy Scouts of America showed 2S7,257
registered scouts in good standing, as
compared with 1884 on the same
day one year previous.
There were 13.413 troops in good
standing, as compared with 9.7SS one
year ago.
Fully 1887 men are serving as vol
unteer scout officials-12,204 scoutmas-
tiers, 1898 assistant scoutmasters,
5O,S16 as members of troop commit
tees or local councils and as commits
sioners or other scout officials.
Comparison of the records shows
that the membership has practically
doubled within two years, and the in
crease in the number Of troops has
been nearly as large in proportion.
To deal with this group Of 1864, pa
men and boys there are less than 300
men engaged in scout work profess
sionally.
The Boy Scouts of America was in
corporated February s, 1910, and was
chartered by congress June 10, 1916.

Woman's Apparel
and War Period

| lions In Paris showed the short jacket
| cut much after the manner of those
worn by the French soldiers In Al
glers, and often supplemented by the
brilliant scarlet or yellow sash or an
immense suede belt pulled through sew
eral buckles in front.
The Elton jacket Is not for the wom-
nm with hips, however, and unless she
has been able to reduce her figure to
the proportions of a planked shad. 1t
is wiser for her to look upon other
models with more approval.
There are short coats that hang
straight from the shoulders TO finger
length below the waist and are slightly
belted In such a manner that the waist
line is casually defined.
Because of its limitations, this short
jacket cannot be the ruling fashion.
None know that better than the
French artists, so they have sent over
loose coats of silk poplin, and the
American designers have turned out a
new cape which reaches to the hips,
is slim In outline and fastens at the
neck with high rolling collar.
The Revival Of Lace.
Starting out with the foundation
stone of the new Paris fashions, which
are based on the conservation of other
materials than wool, and remembering
well that you must not bulge or fare
or to provoke discussion as to your
extravaganza in the usage of fabric,
then it is wise to go on to the minor
adjuncts of fashion.
The revival of silk poplin is bit
Of news that appeals to the majority
of women. You know, this fabric
makes admirable coat suits, and with
the modern activity Of nearly every
woman in this country, there will not
be such a wide demand as usual for
frocks that need constant cleaning
and laundering.
The late spring and summer will
probably usher in vast array of
women dressed in silk popln. Shan
tung, the thinnest gaberdine, satin
and dark foulard.
The tailored suit which is adopted
by such numbers of women doing
active relief work, has already set
its impress upon the fashions, and 1t
is quite probable, despite the talk Of
the dressmakers, that coat suits Of
silk poplin in black, beige, brown and
blue will rise to unusual heights of
popularity. Let us hope this may
come about.
Dinner gowns are of black, white
and cream lace, and they are elabo-
rately touched up with threads Of sill
yer and gold.
Scant lace flounces are draped over
slim Innings of satin and taffeta.

SCOUTS AID THE PosTMEN.

Wheeling boy scouts were given an
opportunity TO aid Uncle Sam during
Christmas holidays In manner which
has never been resorted to there be-
fore. The scouts went out on the
trucks delivering parcel post packages
and aided the driver in disposing of his
load.
This enabled the employees Of the
post Office to prevent the congestion
that has occurred in the past. The
scouts efforts were both successful
and pleasing to those in charge of the
mail distribution, and in all cases the
boys have been found absolutely hon
est.
