SIBERIAN SCOUTS CALL TO US.

The chain Of boy scouts around the
world is one of the greatest guaran-
tees of the civilization of the future.
From far off Krasnoyarsk in 81
IBERIA the boy scouts there have asked
the great organization in this coun-
try for guidance in their program and
for uniforms and equipment upon
which they may model.
The letter comes to the national
headquarters of the Boy Scouts of
America at 200 Fifth avenue, New
York, through the department of state
at Washington from American Consul
J. K Caldwell at Vladivostok.
- Vice Consul Edward B. Thomas at
Krasnoyarsk says:
IT would like to give any aid possi-
BILE to the scout movement here, for II
is developing in the boys just those
qualities of good service and good
citizenship which are so needed in
Russia at this time"
Their American brothers sent an
immediate response for "a scout is a
brother to every other scout-all the
world around" Chief Scout Execu-
tive James e. West forwarded full
list of literature and scout equipment.

EAGLE RANK is HARD WORK

"Just what does a boy have to do
to become an Eagle scout?"
To become an Eagle scout, boy
must first reach the rank of first-class
scout. Three months is the minimum
time required, during Which period he
performs % diffeEeht tests including
fire-building, cooking. opening bank
account, first aid and bandaging, swim
ming. tracking, hiking, map drawing,
and a study of trees, animals and
stars.
Then the scout is ready to begin
study for merit badges. These are en-
biems given for proficiency in certain
lines Of study.
The test is passed before an exam
iner, who gives the boy certificate
in evidence of the work The scout
now goes before court Of honor. COM
posed Of group Of business men, who
examine his credentials, and vote to
award him the merit badge.
When the scout has received five
merit badges In this way he is desig-
mated a Life scout. Ten badges give
him the rank of Star scout, while 81
are required for the Eagle degree.
Many of these tests are far from
easy. In bird study, for example, the
scout must know and identify not less
than so different birds. In life-saving
he must be able to rescue boy Of
his own weight In deep water. In camp
ing he must sleep in the open for so
nights, and be able to make fire with
out matches. There are SO merit
badge tests.

The other girl had long listened

And when the young man dramatically
tore up a poem he had written to
Alice she almost laughed.
The next morning she did really
laugh when she retraced her steps Of
the night before and found Just what
she had expected-blank pieces of pa

with folded paper, exactly like the
