as few obstacles as possible between my somewhat skinny anatomy and the sun. To be perfectly clear, I wore just as few clothes as the laws of my native state would permit any boy to wear and remain in sight My costume from early in May to the back end of Octo- Der, consisted entirely of pair of threadbare blue overalls, usually hung at half mast, with a single gallus,
 Now this leads me to the point where I am going to give you an almost sure method of recognizing me when you see me. I Started out in the sunshine with about seven hundred and sixteen freckles, and looked very much like the picture of your scout squidge." But whereas my early freckles looked like rust, the continuous one with which I am finishing looks like trust, and is absorbing all the other freckles on my body.
 So remember lads, you can tell me by my freckles, but also remember how ~got it, and get out here in the sun shine with me whenever you can this fall. There will be plenty for all of us. Live in the sunshine. Be an optimist. Be scout and boost the game all through the long school months ahead. didn't intend to preach this time. for I learned long ago that I wasn't built that way. I tried it once, and when I-had finished the choir staggered to its hind feet and sang, "Hallelujah, 'tis done," and they were fright about it. So long.

spending the day with Herbert Cowan. if his mother had made no other plans for him.
 But why those horrid clothes?" asked Louise. One would think you were going there as iaborer.'
 sis. Herb will be putting in their gar den today, and Dan Bonnet and thought We could help him and talk scouting at the same time. Herb don't know it, but a bunch of us are going to make ex- cuses to go there every Saturday and help work on their little truck farm, so Mir Cowan won't miss his help so much when the big trip west starts. Herb doesn't think he ought to even consider going, but we are going to work it out for him some way" And with that state- ment Fred was up and gone.
 The judge made no remarks, but as he reached for his hat he murmured, "Fine. fine" and gave old Jerry a dollar, much to that old negro's surprise, for he shuffled off muttering. ''De judge suttenly am actin queer this mawnin and de missus sho will be scandalized when she fines out bout Mistah Freddie goin' down to dat pooah folkes house | and worl1in' dat away, and as foah Mistah Tom. he's queer, too, since he came back from dat ahrmy, and don't | seem to be neah so keerful bout keepin' Mistah Freddie from runnin' 'roun' with all them scout boys lake he uster; jes says dey all look jes alike to him when dey Is in dem uniforms. Things sut- tenly is gettin' queer"
 Fred found Dan had beaten him to MT. Cowans, and was already out in the field with Herb getting things ready. Herb first showed his surprise at second one wanting to help, but that was soon forgotten, as they plunged into plans for the trip, and gradually drifted into such an enthusiastic discussion of the beauties and grandeur of the west they had never seen, that Mrs. Cowan had to send for them to call their attention to the fact that the big dinner bell had already done it's best to attract their attention and interest.

TROOPS A AND B
 STUDY THE STARS

Friday evening about , o'clock Troops A and 8 left the Norwood Methodist church and hiked to Rock House over Red mountain. Assistant Scoutmaster $. M Saunders was in charge of the expedition The main object of the hike was to study the stars
 When we arrived at the Rock House we dropped our packs and ran for the spring. After all had refreshed themselves at the spring we went back to the Rock House and prepared our supper. Of course, this important pro- cess took up considerable time. It always does on a scout hike.
 After supper we climbed to the top of the highest rock and MT. Saunders pointed out to us II constellations. After we were through our star saz- back to town in the mooplight.-By Clyde Porter. troop reporter
 Note.--Mr. Saunders knows as much about the stars as any scoutmaster in the city. He can begin at the north star, and. working from this as a terminus. point out all of the main constellations in the heavens. as well ass quite few of the smaller ones
 The scout officials tried for quite while to find a man who knew enough about the stars to instruct the toys. They found out that Nr Saunders is the only one around Rir mingham who really knows the stars

TROOP 12 HIKES TO

Last Saturday Troop F went on hike to Camp Andrews. The boys met at Ter race court about s o'clock Friday night and hiked to the camp site, arriving there about il o'clock. The scouts were tired out when they reached the camp. so went straight to bed.

Chinking and flooring was the order of the days work. When we finished our work there was not much more to be done. Three more such hikes as that of last Satur- day and our cabin will be completed

Hello scouts ] didn't expect to see so many of you here this first week of school In fact there are several of you present for the first time, but hope that fact won't enbarrass you and that by the tune we have been together little while and I have said some of the things l sometimes feel like say ing you may feel that we have known each other as long as is necessary
 To you strangers I will say that it has pleased nse to shroud myself in a certain amount of mystery, and thus far no scout has discovered my identity, though many have tried. But will tell you a little about myself, so as to encourage the fun. l am a very homely everyday old man. In fact I can't re- member being day off from being homely in the last hundred years. am peculiar in many ways, but one of my greatest fads is to be in Gods big outdoors. and for that l offer no ex- cuse, for although I am getting old am still learning much in Gods great school room.
 When l was growing up I absorbed rall the sunshine I could. I used up all they had in our neighborhood that wasn't needed for the other green things growing all around. I did this by doing just as many as you scouts did out here this summer, by inserting

Mock Trial Is Complete Success

The mock trial pulled off by Troops B S' and F of West End was success in every sense of the word Much hard work was expended by the scouts and as is usual with these three troops, success at tended their efforts
 When everyone arrived Assistant Scout master George Rogers of Troop sS took the different patrols and placed them on guard duty around the Tabernacle. where the\trial was held. This was done to keep the croops away" as George had it.
 The trial opened when Judge Roger Snider called the court to order. Then ,he case was announced. Miss Louise Fell had grievance with MT. Ed Norton. anl was sueing him for breach or premise. The court was presented with all details. and it was beginning to look bad with Mir Norton
 'Scandalous,' some one in the audience was heard to whisper, in voice that car ried all over the room. And Ed always Impressed me as a rather nice sort of boy the voice continued Although attorney for the defendant, Lawyer Dark, argued long and tearsul,y, Miss Bells attorney. Reese Murray, pre-

POLICEMEN THINK
 TROOP 19 SCOUTS
 ARE INCONSISTENCIES

There were 10 boys of Troop 19 who at tended hike over Red mountain last Friday night, and exactly 10 of those boys enjoyed themselves greatly. The boys had planned to go to Mill Dam. the reg ular camping place of the troop, but as some of the scouts couldn't stay ovcr- night we held the outdoor troop meet ing on the top of the mountain. We also held our rnarshmallow toast and hot dog" feast there.
 In the middle of the meeting two mo- 'torcycle cops broke in on us. They thought we were moonshiners, but met surprise when they saw the bunch of scouts. After helping themselves to some marshmallows and "hot dogs" they de- parted.
 Talk about eats! When you divide 500 riarshmallows among 10 boys mathemat- les tell us that it gives each boy 60, and when each boy consumes 90 marshmal- lows Ipe is willing to tell you that 60 will be plenty for him. Anyone who has eaten 30 can tell just how 50 is likely to make one feel.
 of the boys left for town and the re- maining six spent the night, and at least tried to spend it in a peaceable manner.
 AS usual, the scouts enjoyed sleep less night. and Baldy Sharpe lived up to his well stablished reputation, and saw a man, but in this case he failed to frighten the scouts by a big outcry. This habit of Baldy's is quite amusing to the scouts. After our sleepless night we re- turned to town Saturday much refreshed.
 Troop 19 has had another bit of bad luck. Dick Fitzgerald, who has had charge of the troop since MT. Strickland left, has moved to Montgomery and now We are without a leader. However, we have great hopes of getting a scoutmas- ter soon, and we know that he will be a good one.
 Well. here's hoping that we have an- other hike soon-By Ben Green, member of Troop 19.

Troop 15 Has a Successful Hike

Members of Troop 15 left Norton s corner at o'clock Friday evening for an overnight hike at private lake near here. The troops Saxon luggage car left at 4:30, and arrived at the camp site in time for the crew to make a few preparations before the rest of the troop arrived.
 By 5:15 o'clock camp was fully pitched and all the boys, including Doe joined in a thrilling game of ''nigger baby" After severely chastis- ing Mag Pratt for receiving the first four ''nigs," nearly all the boys took a short dip and then all cooked and ate supper.
 Following supper, a business meeting was held around the campfire, and then several maneuvers were thoroughly car. ried out. The Black Bears won two out of three of these maneuvers. By 10:30 all but few might hawks" were . asleep and dreaming of breakfast At 6:f5 and the last bed-huggers, John Gray and Frank Bromberg, were out and on the hustle. Some of the scouts took a morning dip, while others
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-10-05

prepared breakfast. Several formations were passed during the day.
 At II o'clock the whole crowd went in swimming. The Black Bear patrol challenged any other patrol to a relay race. and the Raccoons immediately took up the challenge. The Raccoons were represented by Clifton Terrell, John Martin and Meyer Newfield while the Black Bears chose for their racers, Charles Allison and Frank and Charles Bromberg. Each swimmer had to make dash of 35 yards. Although the Rac- coons did their best, the Black Bears took the race by a distance of 25 yards.
 As soon as the races were finished the whole troop cooked dinner, each member resolving to bring weiners and all the accessories on the next hike. No one went hungry, but all the food was heartily consumed. After dinner a final dip was enjoyed and the Saxon left with the luggage. By 4:3o no one would have known that IS boys of Troop 15 had had such 8 good time on that wonderful spot had they not seen or heard them.-By Charles Bromberg, troop reporter.

 Sure enough, the facts were too over whelmins, and Miss Bell obtained a Judgement of 5000. However, some say that it is doubtful that she will ever col lect all of the same from Mir. Norton.
