! BOY SCOUT NOTES

This column is an innovation, al
though the organization whose mouth
piece it is to be, has long been a vital
little force for good among the teen
boys Of Warren. Ever since the organ
ization Of Troop 1, fine spirit and in
terest has been growing, and has now
reached point where that spirit must
express itself in acts. Now the boys
are going to do things. They are a
modest lot, but can you blame them if
they want to- convey to you the infor-
nation that they are not dead, but are
up and doing? Fathers and mothers,
once every week, or more frequently
perhaps, your boy asks for permission
to go to the Scout meeting. Surely you
will be interested in what he is accom-
plishing For that reason, more than
for any purpose of self-exaltation, the
Boy Scouts of Warren will speak to
you, and give an account of themselves,
every week through this column.
Until three months ago, Troop was
under the efficient and faithful leader
ship of Scoutmaster Rev. Bartholow.
Owing to the urgent demand that duties
in other fields made upon his time, he
was obliged to retire as Scoutmaster.
The boys will ever remember Rev.
Bartholow's work and inspiring influ-
ence among them, and take this first
opportunity of publicly expressing their
sincere thanks and appreciation.
The Scouts are now in the midst of a
campaign to increase the enrolment of
Troop 1, and if possible organize a
Troop2. You older boys who have been
Scouts know what that will mean in
the future. We are now in need of an
Assistant scoutmaster, and will soon be
in need of several Senior Patrol Lead
ers and Assistants. TO you we send out
an urgent call. We need you, and shall
even be so presumptuOus as to count Oh
you for future service. Are you with
us? Sure you are.
The Scouts are now meeting at the
College at Z 80 every Tuesday evening,
and oh boys, you ought to see them
work. There are many things to learn
in Scouting. There are also ranks.
Promotion is not gained by age, length
of service graft, or purchase, but by
very rigid mental and physical quail
ficatiOns.
Next week this column will tell you
some interesting bits about the Boy
Scout organization, what it stands for,
and what it means, not only to the ma
ton. but to you and your community.
structor of the high school, is now the
Scoutmaster. All Warren people should
be willing to lend assistance when call
ed for by Mr.. Miller as this is really
an undertaking that should not be left
entirely to one man. If you will try
and do your share of the work Mr..
Miller certainly will do his.

Don't trade your government bonds,
the best security in the world for
worthless stock, or stock of doubtful

bonds, you would never get a chance to
get hold of it. .

Arizona republican., 1919-04-03

We find ourselves, like the fairer sex, on the verge of a new era in styles for spring and summer clothes. Responsible for this is the recent lift ing of the strict censorship established last year by the economy board of the national defense committee. This rig Orous ruling reached it's high mark last fall, when we had to forego pockets almost as well as cuffs on trousers, extra belts, pleats and the bits of class which mean lot in the looks of a suit.
 It has always been conceded that fashions depend for their innovations on the trend of current events. If We take that for a fact. it is reasonable to suppose that we will have a hetero- genuous array of styles to choose from. IL is so with women's apparel, and with matters of decoration: that we are in rather a muGdle as to what we do want as to clothes as well as government and silhouettes. But man-like, our tail- ors decided on one thing for us early in the spring, and to that edict We shall stick through the summer months at least. and ,leave it to the fall to bring a brand new set of rules for cutting our clothes.
 According to this early decision of artists, the outline of the male figure

In materials we will have as the most popular the unfinished woolens, cheviot homespun and cashmere for early wear. For sports and summer uses there are flannels, light weight serges, gabardines and mohairs. There is al- ready a tendency toward recreational garments to be made of silk, linen or other delicate materials.
 In patterns. stripes will be the vogue, with a second in overplaid effects. Narrow stripes will prevail. while those of the shadow type will also be good. Checks will not be used with as great prodigality as in former seasons, though there are men who cannot live through a spring tra-la, without their gamblers pinchecl< suit.
 Green is the predominant color note in spits and overcoats, and we see a lot of brown. tan and gray represented in all the patterns There are a few shades of blue. which is always good, but the two first named colors will have preference over others for every day wear. Materials of a very dark foundation have over treatments of a

is to be definitely discernible in the
 styles for the next few months. Form
 fitting is the note, and from some of
 the samples, it is reasonable to fear
 that mature men with a decided ten
 dency to plumpness will have to wear
 stays to get away with the last word
 in masculine decoration. The idea is
 to have the clothes dashing and youth
 ful without being extreme, classy in
 cut but not conspicuous. Tailors req lize that they have not the same fig
 ures to fit that they had in ante-war
 days, and they are allowing for the in- creased breadth of chest and muscular
 development of legs. The stoop- shoul-
 dered effect will be taboo. and in their stead will be coats a trifle longer and { looser, but still fitting the figure, trou- sers not quite so skinny, and plenty 1 or room for the new strong backs
 which military experience has created
 The single breasted suit Is the favor ite this spring, and exceedingly good are the lines developed in these models Shoulders are slightly wider. and the
 seams are accorded treatment which
 add to the total of good looks. Cres- cent and slash pockets are both seen a lot, but there is still no tendency tC fancy effects in flaps. There are no but tons to speak of on sleeves and none al

salt and pepper effect in reds and greens which are quite snappy for the young man.
 Top coats for spring are practically the same as they were in the winter when it comes to lines, except like the suits they are more form fitting. The knee length style is the best buy, and the skirts flare bit more this season. Few pockets are seen. Reversible mo- tor coats of leather on one side and gabardine on the other are quite useful and come in a number of styles, some with patch pockets and others rather plain with only a belt They are in three-quarter or full lengths.
 Heather brown and green are the predominant notes in color for the new sports toggery. Riding suits in the former fabric have flaring skirts. a back vent running to the inevitable waist line, diagonal pockets and on some of the swagger ones we find an extra outside Tapped pocket in which to carry change. Golf suits show prac- tically the same lines, with little ad- ditional strapping and probably an-

ARMY LIFE IMPROVES
 PHYSIQUE OF YOUTHS

North American Reviews Weekly)
 But over and above the assurances from such high authority as General Pershing, we have tens of thousands of animate object lessons before our eyes all the time. The transformation of slouchy, shambling young fellows into vigorous, up-standing, clear eyed men which a few months of army life have wrought, has been the subject of wondering and admiring comment in every community between the two oceans. Will anybody undertake to argue that these are not better men physically, better men morally. for the discipline and the habits Of obedience

and observance of sanitary laws that their military life has imposed upon them? Is there not every assurance that they will be better citizens, more efficient in whatever direction they turn their energies, more conscious of the responsibilities they owe to their country, to themselves, to their depen- dents and to their fellow men, than would have been the case without that sharp awakening to stern realities which comes with subjection to mili- tary duty? This is no longer matter of theory. It is matter of ocular dem
 onstration wherever there is a young fellow in sight who wears, or has worn Uncle Sarns khaki, and who has had the experience of training camp life.

all on pockets. It is very evident that we cannot recover all at once from the embargo on such luxuries. Double breasted models are seen also, and there are plenty of discernible tricks to their fashioning which make them as popular with those who prefer them as the single breasted. All of the suits reflect the military influence in a gen. eral way, by the widening of the shoul- ders as mentioned above, and almost without fail they are all showing the new waist line which is very much used. Even plain, prosaic business suits will have this nipped-in effect imparted to it by the high waist and a long vent back.
