Franklin County Ban
Is Now Lifted

The State Department of Health
announced last night that the cpl
demic of influenza is declining rap
idly in all but a few scattered sec
tions throughout the state. A total
of STA deaths from influenza and
pneumonia was reported for the
twenty hour period. The num-
ber of new cases throughout the
state was less than the number re-
ported yesterday"
In Allegheny county $40 new
cases were reported of which 355
were in the city of Pittsburgh. There
were 1877 new cases in the city of
Erie where it has been found neces-
sary to continue the closing order
until conditions show marked i'm
provement. An order was issued late
yesterday lifting the closing ban on
Franklin county, this is the last
county in the state to have the ban
lifted.
Conditions in CIearfield county ac-
cording to reports show that the
epidemic has been increasing during
the last day or so and at the request
of the health authorities of that
county the State Department of
Health decided to continue the clos
ing order there for an indefinite
period
According to reports received up
to / p. m, yesterday, the total num-
ber Of deaths reported from influ-
enza and pneumonia since October 1,
is 36,597.

SCOUTING NOTES


As all scouts know, the scout ex-
ecutive keeps record of what scouts
do here in Harrisburg in the way of
public service. During the past five
weeks, and up until Thursday noon,
there have been $40 calls for service
in this city. or course, some Of
these could not be counted as a full
days work, but none of these re-
quests for service had to be refused
From the time OF the Fourth Lib
erty Loan there has been scarcely a
moment that the scouts were not
busy at some work. The Red Cross
has been helped whenever an ap-
peal was made to scout headquar-
ters for service; the Linen Shower
headquarters had it's quota also for
several days. From ten to twenty
scouts have been assisting the pub
licity department at United War
Work Campaign headquarters dur
ing the past week, and Mr.. Tate vows
that he could not get his work done
without the service of the boys in
khaki. Under the leadership of
Troop Is, the scouts bagged over

National Headquarters An
nounces Regulations About
W.S.S.Palms For Scouts

Because of the large number of
palms that are being earned by
many scouts throughout the country,
in some instances so many that it is
impossible for the scout to wear
them upon his uniform, a plan has
been worked out and approved by
the National Council for exchanging
the bronze palms for silver" or
gold" palms upon the following
basis of exchange:
Each scout who has been award
ed ten palms or more may exchange
them for a silver plated palm at
the rate of ten to one.
Each scout who has been awarded
fifty palms or more, may exchange
them for a gold-plated palm at the
rate of fifty to one.
Scouts having qualified for ten
or more palms which have not yet
been Issued to them, may advise Ma
tional headquarters in advance If
they desire to make exchanges on
the above basis. In fact, national
headquarters would appreciate it II
the scout officials will indicate the
wishes of their scouts in that mat
ter without delay so that we can
obViate as much as possible the
necessity for returning palms to ma
tional headquarters after they have
been issued, and in making the eX-
changes.
In the absence of specific requests
to the contrary, the awards will be
made in regular course as hereto
fore.

TROOP THIRTEEN
TAKES BIG HIKE
My! What a Wonderful Time
For Lucky Scouts
Outdoors

Saturday, November 2, at II a. m.
fifteen members OF Troop 13 and
their scoutmaster left the Boyd Me-
mortal and marched down South
street to Front and up Front to
Reilly, Reilly to Second and on Sec
ond to Seneca; then across fields to
Division street. After crossing Divi-
sion street bridge, they crossed the
famous swamp in Wildwood Park
by the old Indian path and made
their camp at the front of the blNff.
The first orders were for the fire
building test and in a short time
seven real scout fires were started.
1t was now 1890 and as scouts eat,
the cooking test was natural thing.
My, what a variety. Fried ham, fried
potatoes, baked beans, bacon and
eggs, twist on the stick, toasted
bread, pudding, roast potatoes and
roast apples and also roast doggies.
They were all in shape to eat in a
short time. After eating came the
most interested test of all scouting
and that is tracking. Blue pencil
marks on stones, stonepiles and
forked sticks were used in various
trails which were laid by second
class scouts.
The hills back of the camp were
very steep and the scouts had fine
opportunity to use their ropes in
hill climbing which proved to be real
sport. While the tracking was going
on several scouts brushed up their
signaling.
The scoutmaster had promised to
have the troop home at 4.30, so the
scout pace test was left until last
and the troop made good use of this
test on the return trip. The troop
voted this hike the best they ever
took, which shows that a regular
scout program on hike always
brings the best results.
The scribe's record shows the fol-
lowing results of the hike. The fol-
lowing scouts passed the fire build
ing test: Joe Hertzler, Richard
Hertzler, Edgar Mes and Joe Cos
ney.

Local Musicians to Play
For Invalids at Carlisle

A number of local musical artists
are planning a trip to the Soldiers
Reconstruction Hospital in what
was formerly the Indian school at
Carlisle, to render a concert for the
benefit OF the wounded soldiers
there. The concert will be given
under the auspices of Harrisburg
Council, No. 500, Knights of CO.
lumbus, and the musicians will be
taken to Carlisle in automobiles con-
tributR1 by friends of the coun-
ell.
Those who will compose the party
are: Miss Margaret Vaughn, harp
ist; Miss Margaretta Kennedy, cell
ist; Miss Aida Kennedy, pianist;
Miss Katharine Dubbs, soprano, and
Harold Malsh, violinist.
1t is likely the concert will take
place Sunday evening, November II,
but the date has not been decided
definitely.
The announcement of the concert
is timely, as the knights of Column
bus is one of the organizations which
will benefit by the United War WORK
Campaign, and the concert for the
benefit of the wounded soldiers is an
example of the work which is car
ried on at home as we'll as in the
training camps and at the front
by these seven war relief organlZa-
tionS.

Improvement is sometimes noted af
ter the first days treatment. Breath

distressing head noises, headaches,
dullness, cloudy thinking, etc, should
gradually disappear under the tonic

smell, taste, defective hearing and

throat are other symptoms which
suggest the presence of catarrh and
which may often be overcome by
this efficacious treatment. 1t Is said
that nearly ninety per cent. of all

and there must, therefore, be many
people whose hearing may be restor-
ed by this simple, harmless, home
treatment.

$NEvvS AND NOTES or. THE BOY SC0uTS3
The Scout Salute

Scoutmasters are reporting from
time to time the increasing tendency
on the part of real scout members of
their troops to take a greater pride
in the appearance of their uniforms
and the use of the salute. This is a
great step in the right direction.
While we have such wonderful in
spiration before us in the form of
the present American forces, it
would be well if all of us gave as
much attention to this as possible.
The salute is of great importance
and, If given properly and at the
right time, elevates the scouts in the
opinion of the observer. The effec-
tive part is the quick, upward move
ment of the hand and the holding of
it at the brim of the hat until the
salute is returned or acknowledged.
We must be careful not to -~fuse
the scout salute with the on v pres
ent use by the American Army.
The salute is given with either the
hat on or off. If on, the index finger
of the right hand rests lightly
against the brim of the hat, and, if
off, against the temple a little above
the corner of the right eye. The
salute is used when in uniform and
IN very informal way between
scouts while in civilian clothes. A
salute executed with military pre-
cision goes well with the uniform.
but does not accord with civilian
attire.
During the playing of the National
Anthem, the passing of the Colors or
at sunrise or sunset Colors, a scout
IN uniform stands at attention and
salutes; If in his civilian clothes.

oG them he is to report to scout
