a:iL0Olkaa B E S(UJ I 5 Conducted by National Council of the Boy
 Scouts Of America
SCOUT TO BE PRESIDENT

! welcome any movement which will Intensity young mans attachment tc his church and religion, says pr. S. R Gordon of Tulsa, Okla.
 The boy scout movement only brings the boy in closer touch with the church. The government now wants men to go to the front and fight. It wants and needs good, clean, strong men.
 At the close of this awful world con flict there will be greater need for good men than now. When this war Is over, there will be confusion, dissatis- faction, unrest, anarchy, high taxes high cost of living and demoraliza- ton. Sorrow, mourning and distress will prevail.
 Under such conditions the nation will need strong, educated, religious men as leaders. And the boy scout movement Is going to provide such leaders. The boy scouts are prepar ing themselves, not to fight, not to shed blood, but to be wise leaders, and to conduct the people out of the wilderness of greed supremacy and worldIiness, into the Canaan of peace, prosperity and happiness.
 Some boy scout is going to be the president of the United States. Some scouts are going to be governors. Some will be senators and others will occu py high official positions of trust and honor.
 So we want the boys to stick to their school and their church and thereby fit themselves to be men who will be qualified to rule wisely under the most trying circumstances.

SCOUT PROGRAM IN WAR.

Prof. Norman E. Richardson of Bos- ton university tells the Boy Scouts of America that the war in European na- tions has resulted in rapid increase of juvenile delinquency. Information that has been carefully secured goes to show that this increase in IF of the larger cities and towns of Great Brit ain during one year averaged 34 per cent. The causes of this unfortunate condition are in many instances simi- lar to forces that have already begun to operate in America. It is impera- tive that the American people take time by the foreloek in this matter by setting in motion immediately fn- fiuenees that will counteract a number of injurious forces which will play upon the lives of our boys during the coming months and possibly years.
 A careful study of the causes of in creased delinquency and of the suita- bility of the Boy Scout program to re- duce the harm coming from these in- fluences presents a powerful argument for the immediate enlistment of thou sands of Ameriea's best citizens as scoutmasters.

From Committee on Public Information
 Washington.--Acco ccording to estimates based on an army of 100000 men, 37. 800 nurses will be needed. The pres ent strength of the army nurse corps of the medical department Is about $500. To increase this number by nearly 1000 per cent in year Is the task faced by the corps.
 Hospitals at army camps and canton ments still need nurses to bring the quota for each up to the minimum of 65 considered necessary, although since the urgent need for nurses was made public in December nearly 20O0 requests for application blanks have been received.
 In order to get the enrollments up to the needed number some of the re- quirements heretofore imposed have been waived. According to estimates there are between S0,000 and 90,00O registered nurses in the country and about 200,00 other graduate and prac- tical nurses.

Figures from examinations made by army and civilian shoe experts at array camps show that only about 15 per cent of the men wear shoes which fit properly. Of the several groups of men examined 2S per cent wore shoes one=hah size short, 26 per cent wore shoes a full size short, and per cent wore shoes two sizes short.
 Reports ascribe the high proportion of misfits to the inclination of men to choose shoes too small, faults of meth of and supervision of fitting, insuffi- cient numbers of larger and narrower sizes, an incorrect marking of sizes by manufacturers.

The equipment of no soldiers is com plete without emergency food rations. United States troops are supplied with three different parched maize-meal packets and three chocolates. The former Is revival of the maiZe-meal of the American Indians, on which they could exist for days while hunting or on the warpath.
 The "chain-shot" ration furnished Belgian, French and Teutonic soldiers is a winter food of compressed meat. There are more than dozen varieties of compressed teas used by the Rus-s sian commissary. Compressed rice and macaroni is supplied Oriental forces. Oat bread in sausage form is used by some of the north British troops.
 A curious ration is the compressed fig coffee of the central powers, which may either be utilized for food as It is 1T converted into a eoffeelike drink. Smoke-dried pears are used in the same armies. The Swiss soldier re ceiyes an emergency ration of white chocolate, made entirely of cocoa but ter and sugar.
 An Italian army chocolate is in saul sage-length form, while their plum duff goes into a beef membrane.

From the annual report of the secre- tary of the interior:
 Tn this department we have during the past year had a glimpse of the ex- banding romance of chemical study. We have found adventure in the search for the hidden secrets of petroleum, natural gas and coal tar, of coal smoke and the refuse from a hundred fur naces and smokestacks. We appear to have suddenly driven into a chemical age or perhaps il would be more ae- curate to say that we have suddenly realized that We are such an age. New explosives, new fertilizers. new SouEceS construction and destruction, new preservatives of life, and new agencies for the sweetening and wholesoming of life-these are to the credit of the modern chemist, and as a by-product of this war we are to have higher ap- preclation of this branch of science, and our genius for discovery which has so greatly been applied to problems of mechanics will find in analytic and synthetic chemistry a field of oppor- tunity subject es almost infinite ex- p9nsion."
