The widow and eight orphans Of
Tony Pingetore, the Kenosha patrol
man who was shot to death by the rob-
bers who looted the safe at the Amer
lean Brass Company several Donths ago
found another friend in Kenosha today
as a result Of the appeal made in the
columns of this paper on Tuesday. It
is Mrs. Arthur Clarkson of South Ex-
change street who this morning sent
contribution of five dollars to the re-
vived fund and in the latter accom-
panying the gift opened the way for
others to help by money or by other
means to show the gratitude Of a city
to the family Of the murdered patrol
man.
Kenoshs goes over the top in ev-
erything else,'' writes Mrs. Carkson
in making the first contribution to the
new fund. "Why not in thisR Why not
present the home of Mrs. Pingetore
entirely free from debt and not ask
her for the twelve dollars a month
which she needs so badly to help clothe
and feed her Riddles. Her task now
seems almost impossible and am hop
ing that the old saying Charity be-
gins at home may come to the front in
this case"
The letter suggests another way in
which help may be provided for the
little mother and her orphaned children.
She needs help other than financial, -
continues the first contributor to the
new fund. "Why can't the grocers
contribute bit in the line of food
stuffs-a little from each would mean
much to her. The coal companies might
fall in line--a half ton from each
company would supply her for the win
ter. The ages of the children might be
published and the public could help to
get clothes for them. 1t seems to me
that there are dozens of ways to look
after this needy family until the boys
are old enough to help"
Ingratitude is thing which is not
Kenoshan,'' said another person inter.
ested in the case this morning. ~
cannot help but think that when the
people really understand this case, they
will open their hearts and their purses
and the way will be found to keep the
family Of one who risked all for the
benetlt Of this community"

It has been the custom of scouts who hike to Camp Andrews to take mess gear out of the mess hall, and also to build fires on the top of the hill Of course we do not care to have our camp destroyed by fire, or to have our mess gear left in such a manner that pig would not use it. This is precisely the way in which some scouts leave the kitchen utensils borrowed from the mess hall.
 Scouts, Camp Andrews is out on the hills, and it is yours if you take care of 1t, and use it to the best advantage, but should you disobey the rules and regulations of Camp Andrews, then you will be violating the privileges allowed you, and they will be stopped A scout who does not obey is not a good scout, and the others do not want him in their company
 If your troop decidvs to go to Camp Andrews, be sure that you have a leader. Upon arrival at the camp, this leader will report to MT Carmichael, the care taker. and receive his camp ing gear MT. Carmichael will show you where to sleep. and give you enough mess gear for your bunch. You will be allowed to use the camp kitchen, provided you will leave it as clean as you find it. The only fire that will be built on the hill without permission from the care taker will be in the kitchen range.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-08-17

considerably improved. Instead of liv- ing in tents as they have previously done, most of the scouts will be able to sleep in log cabins. These scouts are the ones who belong to troops who have completed the work on their caoins at the camp Every troop in the city has been assigned a lot on which to build cabin, and all the tim her needed is to be gotton on the camp site. The Birmingham scouts own the land on which their camp is located. and have full privileges to cut the timper located on the land. small sawmill is provided. and any troop in the city will be allowed to use it in cutting the logs for the troop cabin.
 IT the plans of the Birmingham scout council carry. Camp Andrews will be organized in improved fashion in about TWO years. New ideas in camp orsani- %ation will be employed. and the best of everything used in the improvements when everything is complete. there will be no better scout camp in the country Tor Camp Andrews will be a composits of all the advantages and good points or the best camps in the country. with all the disadvantages and bad points left out.

Morning scouts. So you are getting in , terested in knowing who l am, are you? l understand that some of you came out the other day and went all over the ridge trying to find me. Well, am going to see to it that you don't find out right away, but just to add a little fun to it I will give you another pointer now and then; so here is some further information:
 l have nails on my fingers and hair on
 my head,
 Skin on my body and slats on my bed I hear with my ear drums and see with
 my eyes,
 And all things considered, I'm terribly
 wise.
 I have seen many of you around the when a bunch of you went running all around under me apparently looking for something. I afterwards learned it was one of your famous treasure hunts, but l certainly thought you had me when l heard you coming and went up that tree on the ridge.
 Among the most interesting things I have seen out here is what seems to be the practice of the scout spirit For ex- ample, I was off in the dark and saw the boxing and wrestling one night early this spring when big man was out here making plans about the camp. q have

What I liked about that night was the way all of you scouts took part in the games. putting all you had in it and then, as this gentleman said. when it was all over there had not been a single scrap or fuss, although there had been quite little blood shed in the friendly meets. That is what the world outside the organization calls being a sport" We just call it being scout, which is all the same thing.
 While I am talking about the nice things l saw here during the camp, let me say one thing more. 1 began to warm up to you fellows i nearnest when one afternoon I was looking down on you in the swimming hole from rock on the top of the ridge there. I saw bunch of big fellows on both sides of the creek, and swimming back and forth along some ropes in the middle was one little fellow and then another, learning to swim, with all those big fellows yelling like they were at ball game, and making those beginners feel like they were the sensa- tions of the age in the way they were learning.
 We'll, scouts, I hear a putting noise, and it sounds exactly like the noise made by two goats putting their heads to- gether. I expect that two of my old long boards are having battle around at the side of the house, so I will have to go stop them. So long.

 The usual time of getting up at the scoutmaster's home is about ' a. m., but as early as 6 clock he heard buzzing on the porch and soon recognized the soft and melodous voices of Hubby and "Wocco" in an argument-"Does water fry at PIP degrees?' In half an hour the crowd set out for the camp

 Fellows let's hold this meeting right" continued the scout We should all have good turn to report. That is an important thing at scout meeting" We grumbled and protested that we didn't meet to copy the other scouts, but to hold meeting in our way. How ever James was obdurate, and we were forced to tell our good turns,
 "Algernon, you're first said James, who seemed to have taken temporary charge of the meeting. For moment I was nonpulssed Really I could not think of good turn which had done. At last I hit upon good one.
 ''T helped my mother in our auto" I said, sure that I had the best re- port of the evening. James glanced at me queerly. and said. "Is that all Is that your good turn? l call that pretty poor" I gulped down my anger and waited before ordering him out of the house. for I wanted to know what the other three would have so say

 Then the two upstarts departed. and you may be sure that we lost no tears over the matter

At 9:30 out at the camp no breeze was stirring, but before mid night we had to pull under the covers to keep warm. Everybody found the burks perfect, and each fellow engraved his name on the bunk of his choice.
 Thursday was spent having a general 10 a. m. to 1 p. m. we assisted MT.
