SCOUTING AND CIGARETTES.

John M. Phillips, member of the na- tional scout council and a scout com missioner for Allegheny county, Penn sylvania, has this to say regarding cig- arctic smoking:
 Prom personal observation I find that we have very little smoking among our Allegheny county scouts, and while we have not prohibited it we impress upon the scout the fact that to be physically. strong, mentally awake and morally straight he can not abuse his body by using tobacco in any form. l have stopped lot of scouts from smoking cigarettes by telling them that if l wanted to stunt pup would feed him tobacco juice
 MT. Phillips is getting splendid re suits from his "stunted pup"

HOW CAMP TEACHES SCOUTS

How far can the summer camp serve the ambitious scout who wishes to advance in his tests? How can the routine work of the camp be made an interesting matter of service to the camp community?
 On the trail of these and many re- lated questions, several hundred camp directors are working It is clear that the best way to teach camping is to let the boy actually camp. The presence or proximity of an experi- enced camper will help him to learn the best way more readily, and with less hazard, but the way itself is that of the apprentice rather than the book student. The habit of self-reliance and of common sense can best be de- veloped in a camp where instruction is combined with hours and days that throw the boys on their own re- sources.
 It should be the wish of every boy to become a proficient camper while passing his scout grades and merit badges. The enthusiasm of many boys will lead them to endure lectures and book work to a certain extent, but such enthusiasm feeds upon the chance to do some part of the neces- sary work of a community as well as 1t can be done, whether it be for a patrol, troop, or a council.

struck the boy only four or Ave
times" He admitted placing a bu-
reau over the trap door that led iRto
the boys room to keep Mr.. Greer out.

The boy testified that he had never
heard MI. Greer swear and that 50

He said he was happy and content
ed and wished to remain with the

Several character witnesses testi-
fed at both afternoon and night ses-

tation for honesty and integrity and
that they had never heard his char
acter attacked.
Daniel A. Edwards, 1905 MassSchu-

known the Greers fifteen years; that
he had rented space in the Greer
garage for his automobile for the past
seven years.
The boys from the bakery, the wit

car in and out OF the garage.
At all times, witness testified, the
children appeared happy and con-
tented.
Mr.. Edwards said Mr.. Greer did
not smoke, drink nor swear.

AN EXTRA
SESSION IN JUNE

senators and Representatives in
Congress, many of them, want to take
trip to Europe between the close of
the present session and the beginning
OF the special session, which it is GER
tain will be called. That is the rea-
son the call is not expected until
early in June, it was learned today.
THESE members want to have look
at the battle fields and get frst-hand
information as to the progress OF the
peace conference. and it is understood
are going to use all their influence
with the President to delay the call
Tor the session as long as possible.
There are still possibilities of ili-
busters in the Senate. possibly over
the Newberry-Ford contest. or the
Women's suffrage amendment, which
IS due 10 come up for a vote Mon
day, which would mean that none Of
the big supply bills would be passed.
Democratic leaders would use the
argument, in that event, that IL only
q few weeks interviewed between the
time Of the opening OF the special
session and July l, the start of the
new fiscal year, Republicans would
have to jam the bills through or bear
the responsibility with the public
They also seem to be Of the belief that
II the special session is postponed
until the peace treaty is signed, there
would be less public interest in the

are promising into the Democratic
Administrations conduct of the war
At any event. Democratic leaders
seem to be united that there will be
