the name Is good one, writes A. A.

world Is gathered together, and the

with the telegraph and telephone wires
that bring tldings Of warfare :.

inventions and discoveries.
The road certainly deserves Its pic
turesque title, but, in medieval times
when, as Froissart says, the Londoners
were the perilousest people In the
world, and the most outrageousest the
name would have been even more APP
propriate. Then the adventures them
selves actually took place here; and

"Wild Tigers" but in 1911 the king
authorized the formation Of boy scout
corps and established central COM
mittee to push the work.
On several occasions Siamese scouts
have been reviewed by the king. At
his coronation over 1000 took part in
the ceremony. Examinations in the
various scout tests have been conduct

SCOUTS
Fl
SCHOOLS AS SCOUT QUARTERS

In connection with the movement to
make the school building the commu-
nifty center with a wide variety or
public-welfare activities, Dudley Grant
Hays, director of community centers
In the public schools of Chicago, de-
clares that 1.-THE boy scouts and camp
fire girls should have their places for
meeting at the schools"
This is a direct point OF contact
with boys that the school authorities
should not overlook. More concrete
evidence is coming to the boy that II
the superintendent or the principal or
his teachers have real interest In
his welfare outside Of school hours,
It would not fail to be reflected In bet
ter school work.
1t is fairly certain from experience
with boy scouts who have been al
lowed the use of public halls ana
church rooms and similar places for
their meeting rooms and in which TO
conduct their scout tests and go
through the various features of their
program as far as 1t is possible In
doors that school buildings Will not
suffer by such use. On the contrary
scouts will be found valuable aids In
keeping the premises In good order
and in good repair as result OF their
partial occupancy.

were little tots from one to five years
old. The wonder was how these lit
tie ones, sickly and under-nourished.
were able to survive the long trip by
train, motortruck and OK cart.
The faces of these returning refu-
gees wore an inexpressibly sad and
harrassed look. For five years they
were driven hither and yon by Turk
and Bulgar, and had never known
what 1t was during that time to have
a roof and shelter Under the Bulgars
they were forced to live In the open
fields or in dugouts or stables. Eight
cen hours day at hard labor under
constant intimidation was the lot of
some of them. Three-ffths of a
pound Of black bread day was the
pitiful recompense they received from
the Bulgars. Often those too weak to
work were beaten by their ruthless
masters.
One refugee declared to the CORE
spondent that at one time there were
more than sixty deaths a day among
the refugee colony in Dobrudja from
malnutrition, exhaustion and expos
ure. In certain sections, he said, the
Greeks were forced to live largely on
the rinds of watermelons which the
Bulgarian soldiers threw in the
streets.
Tell Bitter Experience.
The older residents of this refugee
suburb" of SalonilSi, most of whom
had fled from different parts of Asia
Minor during the wholesale massacres
there in 1914. have bitter experiences
to relate about their treatment by the
Turks. Some of these people lived in
the city of Phocis, where the whole
Christian population either had been
driven out or were killed by the Turks.
The women wept as they told about
the outrages of the Moslems. The
worst story was that told by an intel
ligent peasant woman, who declared
that in butchershop opposite her
home in Phocis she saw the Turks
take young girl who was considered
the most attractive In town and cut
her body into pieces. They hung the
pieces on meat hooks and offered
them for public sale, she said, to show
the Turks contempt for Greek Chris
tians.
What most impresses the eye of the
visitor in speaking with these unfor.
tunate people is their sad wan and
furrowed faces They have been
driven about by the invading foe
until they have reached the point al.
most of despair and distraction.

An essential feature of an improved
road is adequate drainage, Thorough

ment wherever hard surface road is
to be constructed is firm and unyield-

soil has an important influence on the
proper method of drainage and the type

care and study must be devoted to the
nature, type, and character Of the
soils in the section through which It is
proposed to build road.
The most important primary soils
are classified as gravel. sand, and clay,
but often many of the secondary or
mixed soils, because of their more gen.
eral occurrence In connection with
road-building operations. are equally
important. Such types as loan. mari,
gumbo. and hardpan are representa-
tive of this order.
In the design of road the drainage
structures are planned to take care
of water under three general conditions
rain that falls on road surface or
grade; rain that falls on contiguous
land and flows in accumulated volume
toward the road; and ground water
from any immediate source. To meet
these conditions use Is found for spe-
cial structures, including longitudinal
side bitches, usually parallel, or ap-
proximately parallel to the center line
intercepting bitches to accommodate
water whose approach so close to the
roadway as the side bitches is likely
to cause injury; lateral bitches or cul-
verts to conduct accumulated water
away from or under the road;
and subdrains. In order to plan intel

by Maj. Lorillard Spencer of the re-

Major Spencer, who Is scout com.

said that part of the scouts camp
grounds reminded him exactly of the
sector in which his regiment fought in
France and he planned to duplicate
the trenches and dugouts exactly as
soon as the weather permitted.

instructions in trench and dugout
