OF FOUNDING
 OF BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT.

4 tablet at the Young Mems Chris tan Association in Birkenhead, Eng land, commem morates the fact that in that edifice the Boy Scout movement was publicly inaugurated eleven years ago today, Jan. 24, 1908. Since then the movement has spread to twenty-seven countries, and large and enthusiastic bodies of scouts may now be found all over Europe, Australia, South Africa and North and South America, as well as in Ja- pan, and they have all rendered in- valuable service during the war which has trst come to a close. Lieut.. Gen. z Robert Badea-Powell was the father of the Boy Scout or ganization, but prominent men in many nations have since given their aid and influence to the spreading of the movement. In Canada the Duke of Connaught was largely instrument tai in enlisting the youngsters of the Dominion. In the United States
 President Wilson Is honorary presi- dent of the Boy Scouts, while former President Taft 1s honorary vtce-presi-

EPIDEMIC RACES
 ON WHITE SEA

AIchangel, Jan 24, yda London
 Correspondence of the Associated Press) MuCnan coast, the Kola peninsula and the entire district of the White Sea coast have suffered heavily from the influenza In the regions of Omega and Rem, the popu- lation of entire villages and counties are i'll with the disease. Along the shore of the White Sea there are only three or four sanitary or dis these are without medicines.
 In the county of Nimensk there are houses where the entire family has died and the houses are empty and closed. The peasants are bury ing their dead without collins, no one being available to make them. A writer in the Archangel newspaper says: '"The streets of the villages of the seaooeet make an awful impres- sion. Everybody is i'll. Children are crying and the cattle are lowing ter ribly, nobody being there to feed them"
 Archangel also has suffered con- siderably from the epidemic. There were at one time two thousand cases there. 4 sanitary commission was formed, with power to exercise judgment against violators of laws of health.

MYSTERY. AUTO
 0F MEXICAN BAND

Mexico City, Jan. 24---(Corresp spond- ence of the Associated Press) - The record of crimes attributed to the supposed organization popularly known as the "gray automobile robber band" has been augmented by the killing in the Federal Penitentiary of Francisco Oviedo. Oviedo had been a prisoner for a year and 8 half and was accused of being one of the sub chiefs of the robber band which. has operated here for two years or more. He was slain with a, dagger by a ne- gro prisoner who was charged with nine other murders.
 The killing of Oveido places another obstacle in the path of the authorities who for two years have been trying to discover the supposed man or men higher up" who direct the opera tons of the robber band which uses a gray automobile in making their raids.
 Six men, including Oveido were held in the penitentiary accused of being members of the band. Several weeks ago one of them, Rafael Mer- cadante, is said to have offered to confess. Shortly afterward he died from an unknown cause, in his cell. Two weeks later Oviedo offered to tell what he knew and two days after ward he was killed. Four others who remained in prison have not offered any statements to the authorities.
 The gray automobile, late in 1916 and early in 1917 figured in numer- ous daring and productive raids. Posing as agents of the district gov ernment and bearing forged creden- tials, the occupants would stop in front of house, enter it on the pre- text of searching for arms or robbers, or with no pretext at all, take what they fancied and drive away. At the height of their career the bandits, pursued by police motor car, waged a, running fight with their pursuers through the Passed de Ia Reforma, one of the principal highways of the city. Several deaths resulted from the in terchaHge of rife shots
 Later q society woman complained to the authorities that she had seen a valuable necklace, stolen from her by the auto bandits, on the neck of an actress. Called upon to explain, the dancer asserted that the jewels were a present from an admirer. The all legged gtver was a. general in the Mex ican army. The necklace was re- turned. but apparently this clue did not lead to the leaders of the rob Der
 The operatives, however, finally were surrounded while engaged in robbing a house in the foreign colony. But each time that it appeared that the truth was near disclosure, the principal witness counted on by the state to establish It's case, dies. Thus passed Mercadante and Oveida.

COLD IN CALIFORNIA.

The first gold in California was discovered seveuty-one years ago today, Jan. 24, 1S4s, by James Will son Marshall. He was 8 native of New Jersey who had gone West and settled on the site of Sacramento. Blasting away some rocks to make a foundation for building, he observ- ed grains of what seemed to be gold scattered about in the excavated earth. A test revealed that it real 1y was the precious metal Wild ex- citement followed the discovery. and the immortal rush of the '49'ers brought thousands of miners and ad- venturers to the Golden state. Mar shall, the discoverer, did not profit from his find and would have spent his last days in poverty except for a small pension granted him by the State of California.

BRITISH OFFICER
 HERO IN ARABIA

London, Jan. 24. Correspon- dence of The Associated Press)- Colonel T. E. Lawrence Of the Brit ish Army who recently arrived in London with a son of the Sheriff e Mecca to give information concern ing the Arabs aspirations for inde- pendence is characterized by some London newspapers as "one of the most remarkable men produced by the war"
 A fair-haired young Englishman of 29, smalish of stature, Colonel Lawr- ence gave such services to the Arab cause that he was treated as a sheriff and given the additional rank of enir, which is equivalent to that of prince. No other European or Chris tian, according to the London Daily Mail, has ever receiv2d such g. dis tinction ar the hands of the royal family which is the senior descend ant of Mohammed.
 Before the war Colonel Lawrence was a student of history at Oxford As he was able to speak two Arabian dialects, he was sent by the War Off, flee in negotiations with the King of the Hedjaz, who revolted against the Turks at Medina in June, 1916, after ward Joining the Sherif's military service. He adopted the full Arab field kit of flowing robe, headpiece and golden dagger.
 With Sherif F'eiseul, he planned the blowing up of troop munition trains on the Hedjaz line, and so successful were their operations that the Turks put a price on their heads of $85,00 each if taken alive, and $35.00O dead.
 They blew up seventeen trains, one 8 great troop train which contained Diemal Pasha, commander in chief of the Turkish army, and his staff For this train Colonel Lawrence lay iE wait for nearly three days and nights
 Several trains were permitted to pass in safety. Then came the big enc and Colonel Lawrence pressed a button that set off a mine. The two huge engines were toppled into a ravine and the train was wrecked. Djemal Pasha's car near the end was deraiIed, and the commander in chief was launched into space. Uninjured he picked himself up from the sand and fled for life, tearing off as he ran his medals, decorations and epaulettes These were found later and given to Colonel Lawrence.
 Peanuts are both cheap and nu- tridous and here are a few ways that the cook uses them. For peanut loaf sift together a cup Of cornmeal, half a cup of fine grits nd 8 scant tea spoon of salt Scatter this gradually into a quart of fast boiling water, Stir until smooth and cook carefully and slowly for two hours. Then stir in three quarters of a pint of chop ped roasted peanuts and pour all in- to a greased mould. When cold and firm slice and fry. It is delicious.

WIRELESS ACROSS ATLANTIC.

London, Jan. 24.---(BG1tish Wire less)-"By the time the peace treaty is signed we shall be talking across the Atlantic by wireless" says God frey Isaacs, managing director of the Macaroni Wireless Telegraph Company, in an interview. "One day in the not far distant future" he adds T think we shall walk about with wireless telephones attached to our bodies and we shall be able, standing say in Plcadily Circus, to call up a friend who is flying some where. Or we may have an invita- lion by wireless telephony from a friend flying in France to join him at dinner in the evening.
 Wireless telephony has been very largely used in war for communica- tion between airplanes and headquar- ters and for artillery work. But there IS no reason why it should not be available over very much longer distances.
 ''It will not be very long before one will be able to sit at ones desk in London and speak to New York practically instantaneously. Equal facilities win be available for com municating with Paris, Rome, Mos cow or Amsterdam. In my view 1t will be easy to speak to Sydney or Melbourne or to New Zealand.
 Long distance wireless telephony will apply also to ships at sea and to alrplanes and airships.'

FABRICS FOR SPRING.

Spring fabrics show indications of restraint and an appropriate ten dency towards conservation, when taking into consideration the serious reconstruction period on the other side. There is a noticeable lightness of weight, far from objectionable, in many of the materials, especially in the wools.

he continued. ''ln most strikes the
leaders appeal to justice and right, but
