SCOUTS KILL OFF GOLF PEST.

After every other means to exter-
inmate the beetles that had menaced
the golf course Of the Louisville Coun.
try club had failed, the boy scouts of
the city we're frantically appealed to.
Everybody has fallen down on u.s."
the khaki-clad boys were told, "and
we're calling on you as a last resort"
The boys looked the situation over.
They found that the beetles at the
links had become so numerous during
the past four years that they swarmed
around like bees and threatened the
very life of the course.
But that didn't faze the scouts bit.
They armed themselves with a bunch
of small minnow nets and some used
by entomologists, and then "went after
EN-"
Result? Complete inhalation of the
foe! Thousands OF the pests were
caught, killed, piled up into a noun
tain Of "carcasses," and burned.
Incidentally, the golf authorities
were tickled and showed their appre-
citation by giving the boys spread of
"chow" that would make New York
hotel look like night-owl lunch-cart.

CATHOLICS EXTEND SCOUTING

Upon the initiative of the National
Ca'holic War council, the formation
of the boy scout organizations In ev-
cry Catholic parish throughout the
United States will soon be under way.
The council, which has been casting
about for solution of the problem of
taking care of young boys and provid-
ing for them wholesome and profitable
diversion, has decided that the boy
scouts meet the requirements of the
situation better than any other organl-
cation that could be devised, and an
effort will be made to stimulate the
enrolment of Catholic boys in it.
Contrary to the impression that has
prevailed in some quarters, the boy
scouts are not In any sense religious
or UNCONVENTIONAL organization. 1t
happens that in most cases Protestants
have been quick to take advantage of
it, and Catholics have for some reason
held aloof. Assurance is given by the
officials Of the council that there is no
reason for this.
Through Michael j. Slattery, chair
man of the committee on mems activi-
ties, the council has taken up the ques
ton with the national governing body
of the boy scouts, and has been as
sured that Catholic boys will be placed
on the same footing as any other boys.
and that their interests will be safe
guarded by Catholic representation on
the various boards. No discrimination
of any kind Is made. A campaign for
the extension of the organization
among Catholic parishes will be under
taken under Mr.. Slattery's direction.
1t is evident, from what has already
been done, that the idea has impressed
many pastors very favorably. More
than 400 inquiries have been received
by the council, asking for information
as to the methods of organization.

Town Made Famous by Oysters.

The oyster season at Colchester,
England, was opened with quaint cere.
monies. The mayor and corporation
traversed the fishery grounds in
lredger and the mayor made the first
haul of oysters, The mayor and cor

pressing dutiful devotion was sent IN
the king at luncheon afterwards on
Peewit island. The early Saxons so
appreciated the Colchester fishery that
they took three oyster knives for their
arms, and this device still forms the
arms of the county of Essex. The
Colchester fishery lost all their con.
tinental customers during the war
but the British public consumed an
that they could supply. They had
most successful seasons, and were able
to give 10000 oysters to military hos
pitfalls.

CHARM OF COzY SUN PARLOR
Fresh Air and Sunshine Room Popv-
lar With All--Furnishina 10
Chief Difficulty.

There is something contagious
about the desire to have sun parlors.
II seems to sweep over the whole COM
munity Mt once. The big house on the
hill with its many wings and gables
acquires one-or rather one of the
wings Is transformed by means OF
many additional windows into a sun
parlor. Then some of the Snug
houses on the avenue acquire them.
the new little cottages that are just
being built In the new section blossom
forth with a giddy showing OF window
glass where decade or even two
years ago they would have had
front porch" And the people that
mortgaged the house to buy their car
are mortgaglng 1t again to add n sun
parlor to it. Not that they are such
devotees to sunshine or that the doc
tor has suggested that they have more
OF II In their lives, but, well, IL doesn't
seem as If they could keep up appear
ances without sun parlor.
But for every sun parlor there Is
the important question OF how 1t Is
going to be furnished, what sort OF
curtains 1t will have. Now. sun par
lors are seldom the only sitting or
living room i'm the house and.it is quite
mistake to treat them as such. Re
member that all those windows were
put there so that sun could come In,
and to swathe them with multiple
ity of curtains Is really foolish. When
you want to breathe behind many cur
talns go into another room.
Moreover the windows In any sun
parlor ought to be often open, and for
this reason you should not drape those
windows with starched or perishable
curtains that will be hurt by the mois-
ture. Many persons have roller shades
for the windows, but that Is really a
mistake One interchangeable housewife
even had green shades added so that
they could be pulled down when the
sun shone bright so as not to fade
the chintz covers to the wicker chairs.

USEFUL ITEMS

MIX jugs require careful washing II
the milk is to keep sweet. The best
plan Is 10 scald the jugs with boiling
water, then fill them with cold water
and add teaspoonful OF salt. Leave
the salt water In for about ten min
utes before emptylng 1t. In this way
you are sure that the jug Is perfectly
clean and the milk not likely to turn
sour.
To make cut glass shine put little
ammonia in the water in which 1t Is
rinsed.
A simple way TO remove inkstains
from linen is 10 soak it as soon as the
ink Is spilled in milk. AS soon as the
milk becomes dIscolored, change 1t and
repeat If necessary. Wash first in warm
water without soap, then in the usual
way.
Rust and ironmold stains will gen
orally yield to a treatment of lemon
juice. The stain should be soaked In
the juice for at least "a hours. The
stained place should be laid on a plate
and the juice squeezed over II; then
put the piece of lemon on the top of
the stain and leave 1t. Wash first with
out soap, then in the usual way.
Tapestry-covered furniture may be
cleaned by rubbing well with hot bran.

FUR NECK PIECES
Sable, Mink, Fisher, Among Va
riety to Choose From
FurrIers Have Provided for Record
Demand-choker Collar Is
Most Popular.

The usual fall flock of fanciful neck
pieces is only beginning to put in an
appearance. Perhaps this unusual re-
luctnnce is merely a judicious waiting
until the present rage for the small
one or two animal scarfs shall have
In measure burnt itself out.
These altogether admirable little
neck pieces In sable, mink, fisher or
stone marten are so becoming and
practical that most women faced with
the choice OF Int one neckpiece would
unhesltatingly choose this one.
But the quiet smartness of Its ap-
peal works both for and against 1t.
While II retains It's distinction even
through excessive popularity, this very
unobtrusiveness of quality fails to
satisfy the woman who yearns for and
perhaps really needs for her best APP
pearance a more pronounced type OF
scarf.
The furriers, realizing this need
have any number of other small neck
pieces in stock In which squirrel
beaver, Hudson seal, moleskin, krim
mer, broadtail and Australian opos
sum are the pelts utilized,
These neck pieces have the advan
tage of being less expensive than tho
ANNA, scarfs of costly, longer haired
furs. and this is distinct advantage
when II comes to matching a muf

SCOUTS TO BAN MECHANICS.

One branch Of the government at
Washington has instituted campaign
to discourage the use of nicknames for
representatives of our allies.
Boys are the ones who most Of all
perpetuate the use Of undignified ap-
pellations and the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea are invited to put their active ban
on them.
THE use Of nicknames and names Of
derision as applied to the foreign-born
in America is considerable obstacle
In the way Of Amerlcanization," says
Commissioner of Education p. =. Clax-
ton in letter to Chief Scout Execu-
tive James Il. West.
$50 long as the foreign-born person
feels that we do not respect him he
does not want to join America, learn
English or become citizen. With the
help Of the Boy Scouts Of America we
believe the use Of such nicknames can
be eliminated to very large extent"

LACE IS DESIRABLE FABRIC
Decoration In Favor for Blouses, Eve

Lace is one of the most desired fab
RIGS Of the year. Lace for blouses, for

fabrics are still shown in every shop

Jet edge and a ribbon belt Of black

for n blouse TO wear with n dark brown
coat and skirt Because lace and fur
seem so unsuited to one another must
be reason why designers sew them
together.

THE RELIABLE SCOUT.

Here's to the steadfast, reliable scout,
The scout with the tongue that Is true,
Who won't promise to do any more than
he can,
He may not be clever. he is often quite
blunt,
Without either polish or air.
Yet though it's not In him to put up
front"
He is there when you need him, he's
there.
So here's to the scout on whom one can
rely,
And here's TO his lasting success.
May his species continue, fore'er multi
ply,
And his shadow may II never grow less.

der to form the set which Is so much
worn with the tailored suit or dress.
The choker collar Is probably tho
most popular of all the small fur
neck pieces, and 1t has undeniable
chic on woman who is slim and long
throated. 1t is buttoned with one or
two fur buttons .nd usually has fold
of satin or velvet showing above the
edge OF the fur.

SCOUT GOOD TURN RUNS AUTO

AS to unusual "good turns" Scout
Jack Branch Of Atlanta, Ga, tells Of
new one that took place outside that

"We were going home from a meet

upon an elderly lady whose auto was
stalled. The gas had given out, and
she couldn't get to where she wanted

STRIKE OF HOTEL
WATERS AVERTED

Concessions by both employers and
employees have practically eliminated
the prospects OF q strike by the ho-
tel walters In the District, e was an
rsounced from the headquarters OF the
Washington Walters Union. Local
No. 7S1, today
The walters have withdrawn their
demands for an increase in wages
and a weekly pay day, while the ho-
tel managers have agreed to give the
walters all extra work and have re-
duced the regular working day OF the
men to ten hours.
The extra work concession grane-
ed by the employers means the right
OF serving at all banquets. Hereto
fore many walters, other than those
employed in the hotel. have been
hired to serve at the banquets. The
men resented the employment OF

not agreed to the COMPROMISE, but

RESIGNED CLERKS
ENTITLED TO FARE

Congressman Randall OF California,
just before leaving Washington for
the West. directed attention to the
fact that as the result of a proVis-
ion in the new legislative act the
Government departments and agencies
are required to furnish free trans
portation to their homes to clerks
and employees who resign or are dis
charged.
Mr.. Randall declared that in spite
OF this he was receiving complaints
that some officials were refusing
transportation TO those who resign
ed. He believes that unless the law
is lived up to by officials. there will
be a sharp inquiry when the extra
session reconvenes.
Under the original law transporta-
ton was not given those who vol
UNFAIRLY resigned. Then, at the in
stance OF Mr.. Randall and others, Il
provision was put into the leEisIa-
tive measure under which those who
resign are to receive il. Mr.. Randall
said that by refusing to give trans
portation to those who resigned. of
ficials. had been exercising q sort Of
compulsion on employees to remain
in the service.
"Yet one of the purposes of Con-
gress in providing for transporta-
ton" said Mr.. Randall. was TO ex-
pedite the reduction Of the vast army
of Government employees"
