TROOP Is HURLS
CHALLENGE TO ALL

Last Friday night, Troop Is met at
the regular meeting place at the home OF
their scoutmaster, DR.. j. c. Gilchrist.
The boys 'forked over their dues and
were about to go on with their regular
business, when they decided that after
taking that efficiency contest of the last
quarter they needed at least one night 8
vacation, anyhow, as they have been
hard at work most of the summer, in
stead of busting up for the holidays
and taking a vacation for the summer,
as they usually do. When they had
decided, they adjourned and took a
merry hike for the Bijou..
Now, the troop does not want anyone
10 think that just because they took
one nights vacation that they intend to
remain idle for all of the rest of the
year. They don't intend doing any such
thing, they are going to do some hard
work and give every troop in Birming-
ha ma run for their money
It is true that Troop 10 is ahead of
them now, but then Troop Is has not hit
its stride vet. When they do get
cheney contest, they are going after 1t
in dead earnest, and there Will be no
child's play to it, either. 1t is gong TO
be first class mans job.
So all of the other troops in Jones
valley that are preparing TO take a rest
this winter had better get mheaSe
book for Sleepy Hollow, and not hang
around Birmingham, as Troop Is intends
making a race track out of the town this
winter and not no work and sleep
forever Joint All of the remainder
of the troops in Birmingham know how
Troop Is came out in that last contest,
SO they know that this little spiel
about their way Of getting 10 work is not
big pack of hot air. but is real, true,
concrete bunch of facts about how a
scout troop can work when it gets good
running start-By Harwell Allen. Troop

TROOP 10 PLANS TO
GET INTO HARNESS

Troop 10 failed to have a meeting
last week, due to the absence of so
many of the scouts. Camp Winnatas
ka was open, and practically all of the
scouts of troop 10 were attending that
camp. 20 boys attended from the
Southside Baptist church. and practi-
cally all of them were from troop 49,.
Troop 10 has been having little
trouble recently about a leader. Mr.
Strickland was our scoutmaster, but he
has changed his residence to Mont
gomery, and is now Scout Executive
of that place. For while Dick Fitz-
gerald was in full charge of the troop,
but now Rosser Angel has partial
charge, We hope 10 get settled down
to business in the next two weeks, and
then we will be able 10 carry on full
scout activities. The boys usually come
back when school starts. so we ought

attend to the clearing of your cabin
lot.
Now that all of you scouts are going
back to school, and probably won't come
around the camp much more this year,
1 will begin to get lonely. I will miss
watching you scouts while you are at
camp, and will want to hear from you.
! tell you what let's do. Let's start a
correspondence Some of you fellows
write me a letter occasionally, and
viii answer it. The correspondence can
either be carried on through this paper
or by private mail. l will be glad to
hear from any of you, and will answer
any question which you make care to
ask me.
BY the way, what has become of the
question box? l have not had a question
in a long while. / guess that you scouts
have forgotten all about it, Well, L
haven't. / still watch my mail box for
letters from some of you scouts. You
can address any correspondence to either
scout headquarters in the Jefferson Coun-
ty Bank building, or to the Boy Scout
editor of this page.
guess that you will be all excited
about school opening, and about getting
settled in your new classes. Probably
you will forget about your scout work
during the next week or two. but when
you get used to going back to school,
and are about settled down, you will be-
gin to think about the good times of the
summer, and then you will jump into
your scout work, and begin to think UP
something new to pull on the other
scouts. You will begin to work on the
efficiency contest and otherwise take a
greater interest in active scouting. l
know that you have been more or less in
active during the summer, but now you
ought to kick up lot of excitement and
activity in Birmingham.
Remember, scout, am out here on
the ridge all by myself and that I want
to hear from you occasionally. Well L
had better see whether all of my hogs
are in the yard 1t is time for them to
return from their wanderings about the
mountains So long, Il

Lo, scouts. I noticed that a bunch OF
you were at camp all week I guess
that you were trying to have one more
good time before school began again.
From the sights that l saw and the noise
I heard. 1 guess that you did have a
good time.
Scouts, have little something which
/ want to tell you, L live out in the
woods, and l ought to know all about the
trees and things which live in the forest.
Just the other day / noticed that some
of the trees were losing their greenness,
and were shedding some leaves. These
leaves were piling up and wr beginning
to turn brown. AS 1 looked at a little
pile of leaves a thought struck me. Sup
pose someone should drop a burning
match into that little pile? 1t would
blaze up, and. if there were any other
dry leaves in the neighborhood, would
soon start a big fire. OF course it is too
early for the leaves to be very brown
and dry, but almost before you know 1t
late fall will slip up on youn, and then
the woods will be brown and covered
with dry leaves.
A little blaze in the woods would then
start big forest fire. Scouts, if you go
on hike any time soon, be sure that
you don't build a fire near a pile of dry
leaves, and be sure not to leave a
smouldering fire, for it will catch up
into a flame. and burn things down. We
would not like to have the woods around
here burned down, for the trees and
bushes add a great deal of beauty to
the scenery.
BY the way suppose a fire worked its
way up to your camp. Think of those
cabins and houses which you have built.
Think how quickly they would burn if a
flame was applied. Scouts, why not clean
away the camp site, and remove all dead
leaves and rubbish from the vicinity,
for it is through these mediums that a
forest fire is spread. 1t would be an
awful blow to scouting in Birmingham
if the building and cabins at Camp An
drews were burned down. Scouts, better
think about that, and when you get
time you had better visit the camp and

RAINBOW DIVISION
BY JOS La Sale,
~
You've heard of heroes of every kind,

From the "Merrimac," to the brave
Fireman.
But there's a story that I will tell,
OF the Rainbow Division. and what
befell
Some of the bravest men who ever
drew breath;
Who without a tremor went to their
death.
Capt. Jordan in command on a bright
summer day,
From Hoboken, N j. with his troop
sailed away.
The boys were jolly, and sailed without
fear
Having offered their lives for their
county SO dear.
And we read in history on pages so
true,
That tell the great works that these
boys did do;
How they went cover the top" at the
break of day,
And with cold steel and bullets paved
q way
For Democracy which would come some
day
Won Hindenburg, his chest filled with
pride,
Says, Those Yanks are over from the
other side"
But with mustard gas" and liquid
fire galore,
Wen chase them back to the other
Shore
But the Rainbow Division would not
chase,
And stood by the Huns, face to face.
Capt Jordan said Charge" with death
laundering near.
"Over the top" went Alabama. with a
thrilling cheer
They won the fight in that gallant
charge,
Going against gas and a murderous
But with bayonets on guns our boys
cut the way,
Across Chateau Thierry, and won the
day.
The day was just breaking when the
cannons broke loose,
Dealing death and destruction along
its route,
When above the uproar a voice was
heard,
"The Germans are coming. Send down
{ the word
\ Another voice was heard Prepare to
attack,
I For we have thing or two to pay
back"
! over the top with fire in their eyes,
The Rainbow boys charged side by
side,
And half way out in that shell torn
field
Those Germans they met with bull
let and steel.
The battle ragged fiercely ten minutes
or more,
Till the Germans knew they could
hold them no more.
With last look behind. they ran to-
ward the Rhine,
| And soon left the Americans far. far
behind.
Old Alabama, her heart bleeds and
yearns.
For her gallant heroes who can't re-
turn,
For Mortimer Jordan. and his heroes
there,
| Who brought the world happiness
out of despair.
Though sleeping in France.
| A cross marks the graves
| OF our heroes who fell,
