Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better
than anything else you can use for
shampooing. as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lathcr and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the FAM
lily for months.

'BE PREPARED"
By G. PARK WEAVER, A. S. NJ.
TROOP 20

BE Prepared" the motto of the
Boy Scouts of America is one which
any person or organization may be
proud to own: To he prepared for
anything at any time and at any
place is the object of the entire
scouting program.
A scouts first step in this direc-
ton is taken when he promises on
his honor to keep himself physically
strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight.
Besides being instructed in how to
take care of himself he must be
prepared to save and protect the
lives of others For this reason he
is taught to swim property to enter
burning buildings in systematic
way; A. tie knots that will hold, so
that people may be let down from
burning buildings quickly and with
safety; to save people from death
by breaking through ice and drown
ing: and to save people from being
killed by electrical snocK. BY hav-
ing a knowledge of first aid, scout
knows how to treat the victims oil
such accidents as are mentioned
above, and others.
Very few people know how to res
cue a drowning person without put
ting themselves in a very danger
Gus position: or what precautions to
take when entering burning build
ing; or what to do when once IN
side the building. Nor can many
people tie a knot which will be sure
to hold and yet will not bind the
person being lowered. 4 scout knows
how to go about getting person
out of a hole in the ice without
putting himself in a dangerous posi-
ton. He also knows how to handle
a person in contact with a live wire.
A person is not hero who swims
after a drowning person, who enters
Il burning building, or who goes out
on the ice to pull some one out, or
who tries to get person away from
live wires, unless he knows the prop
er method of getting about each.
Better is it by far to Keep such an
inexperienced, unprepared person
away from the one in danger, for
in doing what he thinks is a brave
and heroic deed. he is putting his
own life in great danger and in
stead of one person being killed the
mum Der is increased to two.

$NEvvz AND NOTES or THE, BOY S10uTzle
THE WIGWAM

Just recently there appeared in
the daily papers an account of how
a scout. just twelve years old, saved
a companion from drowning after
ne had gone down for the second
time. More than this, because he
was prepared to treat the boy, by
artificial respiration he brought the
boy back to consciousness and then
made him as comfortable as possible
until a doctor arrived. Had this
scout not been prepared to take the
proper care of the victim after he
had been gotten to shore. he would
surely have died before the doctor
could get to the scene of the acct
dent.
Likewise a scout makes use of
signalling in different ways to save
life and property, by day with his
arms or flags, by night with lights.
suppose that scout has his leg
broken when within sight of camp
but too far away to make his voice
heard 1t is night and he cannot
signal by means of flags or his arms.
He cannot build fire to send smoke
signals. But he has with him a
flash light, and by means of the
wireless code can tell his cnmr rades
Just what has happened so that they
can bring with them them necessary
equipment. thus saving an extra trip,
as would be required if he could not
tell his friends the nature of the
accident.
A scout is at home in the woods.
He is prepared to stay out in the
open and knows how to take care
of himself while there. He can cook
without the ordinary cooking uten-
sils, make fire without matches. and
build n lean to- or hut to sleep in.
He is prepared to draw rough
sketch map of a given territory to
scale, and can judge distance. size,
number, height, and weight with
practical accuracy. He can track
animals and people and by certain
symbols made by placing sticks,
grass, or stones in different positions
can warn others of danger.
He can travel n long distance in
a short time without becoming fa-
tigued and can tell direction by day
or night without the aid of a COM
pass. He knows how to fell tree
properly and can make it fall in any
direction desired.
a scout is able to do all these and
many other things because he is
prepared.
The main object of all these re-
quirements is to make a boy use
full citizen, one who can think with
precision. act with quickness and
accuracy, and who can be trusted at
all times. 4 prepared efficient citi-
zen-what higher aim could be set
for an organiza ton than the train
ing of such? Is such a citizen not
an asset to his home and his coun-
try?
AS YOU turn these things over in
YOUR mind; as you realize the op-
t,ortunities which are presented the
bov of to-day by this wonderfully
efficient organization; would it not
be to your advantage and the ad-
vantage of your community II you
were to have for your motto. as do

Troop Seven Holds Scout
Service in Rainstorm

A scouts reverence was tried to
it's fullest measure on Sunday when
forty scouts of Troops and 16 as
sembled in spite of a down pour of
rain at the Harris Street Evangeli-
cal church for a special scout serv-
ice.
An excellent solo by Mr.. Bailey,
Assistant Scoutmaster Bailey, en-
titled BE a Hero" was the keynote
of a good meeting. The address by
our energetic scout executive, J. f.
Virgin. was thoroughly enjoyed by
all We believe it was seed sown

TROOP TWENTY
HAD 43 SCOUTS
Eighteen New Scouts Enrolled
During Past Year; Good
Financial Report

Since the organization of Troop
20 on June 4, 1917, forty-three diff
ferent boys have been connected
with the troop. OF the original or
ganization, fourteen scouts are still
active members.
Since last June, eighteen applica-
tions for membership were accepted,
but only eleven took the Tenderfoot
Tests; three scouts resigned and two
scouts were dismissed.
During the year the troop has
met for scouting instruction, rallies
special duty. sixty-seven times. Six
hikes were taken by an average of
ten scouts, covering an average OF
nine miles per hike.
Twenty promotions were made,
and a member of our troop had the
honor of being appointed the first
official scout bugler in the city.
One hundred and ten visitors have
been to see us in the past twelve
months. The troop had several un-
ion meetings at which time uptown
troops were our guests. One hundred
and thirteen scouts from other
troops were present at one of these
meetings.
A successful ten-day camp was
run last August with an attendance
of twenty-siX boys at a cost daily
of fifty eight cents per boy. There
were no accidents.
Under the supervision of Assistant
Scoutmaster Weaver, members of tho
troop made and erected sign-posts
in Wildwood Park for the use of all
the scouts in the city, marking off
100 feet, 100 yards. one-quarter, one
half, three-quarters, and one mile.
The 100 foot stretch was intended
to be used to find the length of a
scouts pace; the 100 yard stretch for
races, and the remaining distances
for races and for practicing scout
pace.
The troop helped in all public DEM
onstrations where scouts were asked
to serve, such as the Inauguration
of the Governor, in which the scouts
acted as aides; on the day the armis-
tice was signed, when they took
charge of traffic; in the Memorial
Day parade when scouts assisted the
Civil War veterans in many ways;
and on last July 4 when they fur
nished ice-water to the paraders and
assisted the police in keeping the
side streets open. The troop always
had n large representation on hand
when asked to respond to this kind
of service.

Troop 28 Enjoys Novel
Hike to Bellevue Park

Troop 2S enjoyed novel and ex-
citing Scout hike last Friday night.
1t was more in the nature of a trail
ing game through the woods from
Bellevue Park to Penbrook and
return. No highways were travelled
at all. A line along fences and
streams of water was followed the
whole distance. Fifteen Scouts made
the trip with Scoutmaster Irwin
Martin in the lead. Several times
during the evening the Scouts sep
arated from one another and fol-
lowed a trail of broken grass and
bent twigs and in other places mere
footmaks, but all succeeded in ar
riving at the goal. having followed
their leader the whole distance.
So great has been the interest
shown in this type of after supper
amusement. that another hike of like
nature is scheduled for next week.

cream and told to feed each other.
The first spoonful went into the
scouts mouth. but the remainder of
II went down their necks and over
their clothes. After the races were

during this time the troop was ad
dressed by Scout Commissioner
German, and Deputy Commissioners
Lyons and Scott.
Mr.. German then presented Scout

Graveyard Experiences
For Troop IL Members

Well. Scouts. I have to tell you
about the initiation that all the mem
bers of Troop Seventeen had given
to them by the Scoutmaster and his
assistant
First. he had us march at double
quick time until we came to his
home. There he got a bottle, a cup
and spoon and big piece of rope.
Next he blindfolded us and then had
us to get hold of the rope. by which
no led us along. Well sir, we
thought we were going over bitches,
plowed ground and everything else.
Then we were fed some of the best
tasting stuff that you could ever
think of. We were LED on for a little
while longer. and then somebody let
loose some of the sweetest smelling
chemical that you ever heard Of
BY this time it was dark so we
were led into what seemed a very
large field, still blindfolded, and sep
arated from one another. After each
one was standing alone and quite a
distance from the rest we heard the
command to assemble at double
quick. Boy. that was some double
quick. -
One of the scouts while still blind
cd reached out his hand and felt a
nice big cold tombstone.
We were next led into an old
caved-in church. and made stand in
there very quiet while there was
some very queer noises going on
nd 1f
ghosts and every thing else. Well
taking all in all. we had a very
splendid time. but we certainly did
feel better after we were out of that
