SCOUTS IN AIRCRAFT RAID.

A feature of recent air raid in Lon. don, when eight people were killed and twenty-one injured, was the appear ance of some 300 or 400 boy scouts as huglers sounding the "all clear signal' through the streets when the official notice was sent out.
 After experimenting with motor horns and whistles, neither of which proved satisfactory. the authorities de cided that the French system of sound. ing buglcs was the most effective. The question of where to get enough buglers arose. and 1t was answered by boy scouts volunteering In numbers.
 They assembled at the police centers when the warning of the raid was is sued and dispersed throughout the city immediately the word clear" was giv, en, apparently finding great pride and enjoyment in the work.

Meanwhile she had lowered near. And at last she was convinced that the coast was clear
 Cautiously she opened the door and i. peered inside She saw no one. So she stepped into the room. For just a few moments she hesitated. to assure her self that there was a lull in the move. ments of the enemy. Apparently they had withdrawn to spruce themselves up after their long march
 She neryed herself to her task
 She stole to the fireplace. glanced over he- shoulder for one last hurried :. survey of the room. and reached her hand out for the instrument. She had barely taken It up when she heard the command
 "Halt.''
 Ethel turned, To her startled eyes the room seemed suddenly full of sol diers. And giving a little cry. she dropped the telephone upon the floor.
 Lieutenant Baum confronted her sternly.

 No, no, Let me explain"
 He ignored her protest.
 "Load'' He snapped out the order to his men. And as they obeyed Ethel cried

 What do you mean?" she asked wonderingly. He had already pulled up the trapdoor. The paddock had not been closed. You want to hide me there2"
 Somehow. she shrank from the thought of descending into that dark hole. IL seemed to her that once she sought that shelter they would surely ind her in the end
 No, no. 'Twould be the first place they'd search" he replied. He pulled
