SCOUTS UNDERSTAND BOYS.

A while ago a scout in an eastern
city got into mischief of some sort or
other and was being rather severely
handled Chief Scout Executive West
found time to take a personal interest
In the case. That he was successful
Is shown by what the scouts father
says end what the scout himself says:
eff there ever was concrete illus
tration of the good that can be done a
boy through an understanding of boy
nature this is such a one. Your con-
sideration and encouragement at
time when everyone seemed bent on
destroying his future because of boy
ish prank have had wonderful results.
He came back from the school i'm
bued with those ideas that lead to
good citizenship, filled with a desire to
advance and exceedingly grateful to
you for moral support in the hour Of
need"
"Well, dad, when I had my little
trouble up home everybody seemed
bent on kicking me down, and 1 Won
dered whether 1 had better run away
or jump in the river. Then you and
Mr. West stood by me, and when got
to the school began to think it over.
L made up my mind that would make
good to the men who stood by me.
After talking with many boys I found
that was about the only one who
ever got any kind of encouragement
ftsnY nuh n6yy IA1
was lucky chap. Now l feel that
owe it to you and Mr.. West to make
good, and I will"

and he was familiar personality to
them all. Whenever anything new
came in that even so much as men-
toned elephants, it was always called
to his attention.
This had been the rule with but one
exception. For more than year past
in several of the magazines there had
been occurring a most interesting type
OF black and white drawings which fea-
tured the elephant in strange and Pc
criliar phases, and in most unusual sur
roundings. There were sad elephants,
COY ones, comical, rollicking, devil-may-
care elephants, abandoned and digni-
fed elephants.
They strolled or danced along the
streets, they looked curiously over gar
Cen walls, into or out of unexpected
doorways, strolled up or down the steps
of sunken gardens, sometimes In the
most delightful company of dancing
girls or nymphs in silhouette.
And when Martin Brown. first saw
those drawings he laughed and hunted
eagerly for more. He found Them, quite
a few of them, signed modestly in the
corner, IS b." He called the attention
of one of the librarians whom he had
known for several years and asked her
If she knew anything of the artist She
did! The artist was girl who came
there and pored over elephant books
and made quantities of sketches.
"What kind of girl?" asked Martin
Brown.
Rather younG-and sort of attrac-
tive" reluctantly admitted the libra
ran. who was neither. "Why, here she
comes noww she added in surprise,
and his glance followed hers as a tall,
slim girl came toward them.
Miss Barstow," said the librarian,
stopping the girl with gesture to-
ward Martin Brown, "thiS is the ele-
ohant man, Martin Brown"
Brown looked into pair of sad gray
eyes that We're frankly wide and curl
Gus. He could not understand why
those eyes We're sad, for there was Il
hint of humOr in the curves OF her
mouth, and her drawings sparkled with
fun.
"Ive often wondered about you, Ele-
phant Man" said Sara Barstow, with
an open eyed smile.
1t was but natural that they should
become friends, they had so much in
common Al his insistent invite ton she
visited his studio and Sketched his ele-
plants, and he gave her of his lore and
such companionship as she Ind never
before known III the timdity of her

Brown did not know, but that was

SEA SCOUTS WERE PREPARED.

When England went to war with
Germany on the fourth of August, 1914,
the British sea scouts were collected
In large numbers for some sea scout
ing practices and the regatta in the
Isle of Wight. So they were all ready,
with their camp equipment and kit,
with their trek carts and boats, pre-
pared to go anywhere.
Without moments delay, therefore,
they were able to respond to the call
of the admiralty and to proceed at once
to different coastguard stations around
Great Britain and to take over the du-
ties Of the coast guardsmen who were
Immediately modified for service
afioat
Their organization in patrols, each
undel..s Its patrol leader, was exactly
what was wanted for manning the diff
ferent coastguard stations. The boys
all xSew how to signal, how to cook
theirEs,wn food, how to manage boats,
how 10 swim, how to keep order and
how 10 obey the orders of their lead
ers, SO that they were already trained
for the service on which they were en-
ployed.
Therein lies the value of carrying
out in practice the scout motto "Be
Prepared"

NATIoNALIsM is SCOUT AIM.

The fundamental law of scouting is
that scouts shall "do a good turn ev-
cry day." The most important point
of the oath is that he shall help other
people at all times.
In that way he is putting hole In
to individualism he is warning on sell
fisAness. We have the boy able to
help. and when boy is able to help and
has been shown what helping is, he
helps.
We are looking for the boy who helps
together with the person who has
been helped, and we are creating in
the American boy that one quality
which is so needed today-solidarity
We are trying to make the people
interlock. They won't interlock in %
minutes or 25 years, but this is the
first step of real nationalism; teach
ing the boy fair play, cutting down
the edge of his extreme individualism,
teaching him how he can do some real
thing for somebody else.

GOT OFFICERS IN TROUBLE
Japanese Military Attache Had Wrong
Idea of What Britisher Intended
for Commentator.

A Japanese officer does not believe
in games or social entertainments.
He takes himself and his profession
very seriously, and cannot understand
how the British military men can actu-
ally indulge in such games as football
or cricket.
Some years ago two japanese Off
GERS were sent to England to study
English, and to be attached to a Brit
ish regiment. Finding it was the thing
to play various games, the Japanese
entered into the spirit of the thing, and
became very keen.
Toward the end of their time, the
asked the commanding officer of the
unit to which the two officers were at
tached to report on them. as he report
ed on his own officers. The command
ing officer complied and sent In what
he considered a glowing repOrt-"keen,
Jealous officers" etc. winding up
with the remark, Every fond of games"
The military attache was aghast :;
his specially selected officers "rond Of
games" and wasting their time, no
doubt! The officers were telephoned
for to London, had an unpleasant in
teryiew with their chef and were
within an ace of being sent back to
Japan in disgrace
1t occurred to them to suggest that
their commanding officer be asked for
further report. When 1t appeared
that fond of games" was usually put
TO the credit side in assessing the char
acter of an officer there were few
men more astonished than the Jap
anese military attache.

Martin Brown was in no way re-
markable man except in the matter Of
elephants, and of elephants he had
what was in all probability the largest
single collection In the world. Please
do not mistake this assertion. His
elephants were not alive, not real ele-
plants, you know, but images, modelled
and carved.
His small studio apartment was full
Of ivory elephants, some of them no
larger than watch charm, bronze ele-
plants, porcelain, plaster and wooden
elephants; some Of which he himself
had carved, for Martin Brown was no
mean craftsman-a sort of jack.of-all-
trades person, with fancy for ele-
plants.
The elephant is a large animal, even
80 is the subject of the elephant. For
years he had studied them, their hab-
Its, their relations, their mental devel-
opment, their physical structure, their
evolution. He had a friendly init
macy with every elephant in New York,
and whenever he visited the ZOOS the
keepers allowed him the freedom of
the place.
The affection of an elephant may
seem ludicrous thing, but to see those
great beasts touching him caressingly
and feeling him over with their deli
cate trunks was not funny thing at
all. 1t stirred one with wonder at
the man and the mysterious bond
which existed between. them.
At the library the attendants called
Martin Brown "the Elephant Man."

To be possessed of head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter of using little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, fiuffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and
downy at firSt-yeS-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

SCOUTS HUNTING MILK JARS.

Twenty-Five thousand Stacker milk
bottles were piled in precinct police
stations in Cleveland, o.. and 1900 of
the younger boy scouts who piled
them there crawled into bed, happy
with the idea that they had averted a
milk bottle famine that might have
forced resumption of the insanitary
method of delivering milk in cans.
In addition, thousands of house
wives were bordering appeals the
boys brought to hunt up all their
