American Buds. at Empress


 Jane and Katherine Lee, a rough running love affair and German spy are the principal factors in the plot of American Buds" a new William Fox romantic drama, which will be shown today and tomorrow at the Empress theater. The Lee children, known as the Fox baby grands," are the stars of the production, but most of the members of the supporting cast are adults.
 The story really revolves around efforts to identify the children, who are introduced as inmates of an orphanage. Later, after having driven the matron almost to distrac- ton. they bounce unexpectedly in upon an army post and spend the balance of the time making matters interesting for the soldiers. Inci- dentally and quite unintentionally they occasion the breaking of an en- gagement between a colonel's daugh- ter and a captain, it appearing at the time that they really are the bachelor captains offspring.

WHAT SCOUT CAMPERS TAKE.

Some people insist that a camping
hike isn't the real thing unless the
hiker carries his own equipment on his
back. OF course, for the real wilder
ness outings, where there are neither
roads or trails, that sort Of thing is
necessary, but ninety-nine out Of every
one hundred scouts will take their out
ings this summer through country
where it will be easy to pull q trek
cart. And the exercise Of the trip will
be strenuous enough without adding
the burden of pack-sacks.
AS for getting a trek-cart, there
isn't troop that couldn't rig one up in
short order and at little expense. A
pair Of stout wheels can be obtained
from almost any blacksmith or cooper
shop, and 1t Is simple matter to fit on
a strong wooden box. Add a tongue
with handles or ropes to pull it by,
and canvas cover to keep out rain,
and the rig is ready for service.
Carrying space in a trek-cart is linn
tied and one will have to cut out nom
essentials. Campers will need tent
and blankets, cooking outfit, first
aid kit, an ak, plenty of extra rope, a
lantern, box Of "chuck," tent pegs, a
spade for ditching and digging latrines,
and, Of course, each scouts personal
outfit. This should consist Of toilet
articles, materials for mending and a
complete change of clothing.

ROMAN INVASION OF BRITAIN
Good Reasons for Setting August ~ as
the Date on Which julius Caesar
Landed on the Island.

The 9th day of August. 55 B. c.,
may, upon good grounds, be set down
as the day on which Caesar invaded
the Island Of Britain. It is interesting
to learn the method by which pains
taking and ingenious inquirer deter
mined the date as given-Caesar him.
self tells that he proceeded on his ex-
petition when little of the summer re-
mained-when the people of the south
OF Britain were engaged in their har-
vest-and we learn that he returned
before the equinox Thus, the day must
have been in August He further tells
us that the full moon occurred on the
fourth day after his landing. The full
moon of August in that year, as given
by astronomical tables, occurred at 3
a. m. of the 31st. Hence, Caesar land
ed on the 9th
1t is well known that Caesar met
with greater difficulty in landing and
making good his first footing on the
island than he expected. The southern
Britons were a people well advanced
In civilization at the time. 1t was only
ABOUT century after this that London,
by It's present name, was a city crowd
ed with merchants and of worldwide
celebrity.
History repeats itself. England, even
In those early days when Caesar made
war ON the Veniti, 20 the west of Gaul,

their assistance.

BOY:
SCOUT
Fl e5
Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts Of America)
TEACH SCOUTING IN CAMPS

Camps which are developed into out
of-doors boarding houses sometimes
keep boys from learning what the
prospectuses claim that camping
teaches.
Sometimes they keep the boys In bed
during the early morning hours when
the most intimate and instructive
glimpses Of the wild creatures are to
be had. Sometimes the program fills
all the evening hours with activities
which prevent boys from having the
soul-thrilling experience Of drifting
on the sleeping lake, studying the stars
and listening to the voices Of the night.
How much chance does the camper
have, in the highly organized camp, to
learn cooking under conditions in
which he must cook or go hungry?
The boy who, in camp, relies upon
the chef, the hired dishwasher, the
tent inspector, will make as little prog
ress In learning self-reliance, initia-
tive and intelligent cooperation as
he would in the city apartment where
he relies upon the janitor, the delica-
lessen store and the policeman to keep
him going. The thing which develops
genuine strength Of character Is to
meet nature hand-to-hand and conquer
cold and hunger.

WHAT SCOUT IDEA is DOING.

A great editor says this Of the Boy
Scouts Of America:
"When in these wonderful days I
see these little fellows in khaki as
an integral part Of the war in their
remarkable salesmanship Of Liberty
bonds and War Savings stamps; as
dispatch bearers for the president in
the personal distribution Of war lit
erature, and their activity with regard
to the two great war channels-the Red
Cross and the Y. M. @. A.. and realize
what this means in inspiration to them
and q self-acquired knowledge which
they could so effectively get in no
other way, and which they will re-
member all their lives. I am truly
grateful for the boy scouts.
81 don't think we realize the force
with which the boy scout idea is go
ing to count upon the next generation
Of men. The boy who is loyal scout
today is very apt to be, within twenty
years, the man who counts and the
citizen who leads. He Is being trained
along lines of constructiveness that
he will never forget"

The publishing of the news" of the
signing of the armistice in the world
war last Thursday prematurely. re-
minds the writer that on a very mem
orable occasion in the past Watertown
was given important news ahead Of
the rest Of the United States. The bat
tie of Manila bay was put on news
paper, bulletin board between and 6
o'clock of the morning of the battle.
1t was caught" by an operator at the
Junction going to the Chicago Tri-
bune, and given to the writer at his
home by a messenger from the juno
ton AS the regular morning papers
failed to carry the story, tle report
was discredited, but later editions
confirmed the story. The tragic death
of w. T. Rambusch of Juneau in a
cemetery in Charleston, S. G. was first
given out in Watertown, while big
dailies in this section of the country
were filled with stories of his trans
actions which defrauded people in
this vicinity of thousands of dollars.

Cooking Vegetables.

Madison, Nov. 11-Wisconsin house
late fall vegetables which can be
made into many economical and
healthful dishes. To aid the housewife
in cooking these vegetables so they
will be as nutritious and pleasant to
the taste as possible, Miss Betsy Mad
ison of the home economics depart
ment of the University of Wisconsin
makes these suggestions:
Onions, cabbage and turnips if
cooked too long develop disagreeable
f1avOrs. They are best when cooked in
water inn an uncovered pan. If their
strong flavors are unpleasing to the
tastes of the family, by boiling them
quickly in large amount of water
the strong flavor is removed Some of
the valuable minerals are wasted
when the water is poured off but the
vegetables are good on account of
their bulk.
"Parsnips, beets, squash, carrots
and other mild favored vegetables re-
tain their flavor and mineral salts
when they are cooked in small
amounts of water or when steamed
"Wilted vegetables may be fresh
ened by soaking in water The addi-
ton of a tablespoon of vinegar to the
water will remove the insects from
head vegetables such as cabbage and
head lettuce.
''To prevent the breaking of pota-
toes and other starchy vegetables,
they should be covered with water and
boiled slowly. The minerals which
dissolve out in the water may be used
in soups, bread, and gravies.''

GRAN AWAY" TO JOIN SCOUTS.

boys, Otto Watson, James Lipps, Hugh

Omaha Union station at an early hour
one morning recently. They were from
Falls City, Neb., and their parents
notified the Omaha police to be on the
