CHINESE SCOUTS STOP FLOOD.

In Picking. China. with the founda.
ton Of the scout troops ut Using Hua
college. In 1915. began a growth Of
scouting that has led to its recogni-
tion In North China.
In the summer Of 1918 the boy
scouts directed the dixie building
which saved countless lives in the
flooded districts OF the province OF
Chilli.
In addition 20 this d great variety
OF good turns stands out In the Chi
nese scout history. Scouts have sold
American Red Cross stamps. made a
census Of the people of the Using Hua
community. distributed leaflets against
the evil custom OF early marriage. and
raised funds for the Tientsin flood re-
lief.
During the war scouts did much to
make the Chinese troops happy.
Checker-boHrds and joke books were
sent to the soldiers In Siberia.

John Key, aged 90 years, eldest son
of the late Judge Joseph ii. Key and
Fannie Baitzel Key, whose sad and
untimely death on Sunday. Aug. IL,
has cast a gloom over the entire coun-
ty, was one of st. Mary's most valu-
able and foremost citizens and q man
universally loved and respected. His
public spiritedness Is responsible for

ring judgment he sensed the vital inn
portance of agriculture and was active
in every movement to promote this in
duStry while his counsel and aid were
eagerly sought and invariably given
on every question of public interest.
His war work record will fill one of
the brightest pages in the history OF
the non-combatant army that contri-
buted so much to the winning OF the
war Sincerely regretting that he
could not go TO the front himself he
devoted his ability and every resource
not only to the food production cam
paign by adjusting his extensive farm
ing operation to the needs of the Gov
ernment, but he entered heart and soul
into every other program mapped out.
His sterling character and whole
hearted manliness endeared him to al
with whom he came In contact and his
neighborly charity and kindness have
relieved many a want and softened
many sorrows in the Chaptico COM
munity, which loved him best because
il knew him best.
He died as he had lived. giving free

had so faithfully served.

Three Lose Lives.
at Point Lookout

Point Lookout was the scene of one
OF the most serious disasters In the
history of the county, on Sunday last.
when William Courtney Reeves was
drowned while bathing ana his mother,
Mrs. John Reeves, and Mr.. John B.
Key sacrificed their lives In sn heroic
effort 20 save him and others who were
struggling In the water.
The party, composed Of the families
OF Mr.. Key, Mrs. Reeves and y Mr..
Rosenberg, of Pennsylvania. q guest
OF Mr. Key, had mofored % historic
Point Lookout for a days outing,
which they had thoroughly enjoyed
and were Just starting preparations 70
RETURN home when the attention Of the
adults was attracted by cries from the
water thai one Of the four boys an
bathing about $50 yards from the light
house, on the Potomac- side of the
point, was drowning. Mrs. Reeves
and Mrs. Key, who we're wading In the
shallow water along the beach, were
the first TO rush 20 the assistance OF
the William Courtney and
Clyde Reeves, Joseph Key and Lloyd
Larry, son,o OF Mr.. Sydney Larry, over
They were closely followed by Mr..
"c wa "el w 01 h4eS Uc8cu
talking with Mr.. Rosenberg ANA the
lighthouse keeper. Mr.. George Willis.
The latter, realizing the danger
due To strong currents snd under-tow,
immediately started for the scene In
his boat. Mrs. Reeves, after a frantic
effort to save her son and his CON-
panions, sank for the last time, and
Mr.. Key collapsed. overcome by his
exertions 70 rescue Mrs. Reeves and
the boys. Mr.. Willis arrived In his
boat in time to drag Mrs. Key from
the water after she had gone down for
the third time and to save Joseph Kew
and Lloyd Larry, Clyde Reeves hav-
ing escaped the under-tow, and made
his way ashore. He also reached Mr..
Key Immediately after he sank and
carried him ashore where, after reviv-
ing Mrs. Key, he used every known
means 81 his command % kindle q
spark of life In her husband, but with
out success. In this he was ably as
sisted by Mrs. Key, although she was
all but overcome from her own harrow
ing experience.
The place where the accident occur
ed Is a most dangerous one, the beach
sheer and steep and swept by ewift
currents and q deadly under-tow which
had evidently caught the boys, none
OF whom were over IA years, and car
ried them into deep water.
The accident happened about 4 p. IN.
and as soon as the news was commu-
nicated over the county by telephone
cars from many sections started for
Point Lookout. Mr.. Keys remains
were carried to his home at aIndian-
town." and parties were Immediately
to search for the bodies Of
Mrs. Reeves and her SON. All efforts
proved fruitless, as the currents, I'M
usually strong at this point. had car
ried them away.
As We go 10 press "Wednesday, S p.
IN. we learn that the body OF Mrs.
Reeves has been recovered in the
Bay, near Crisfield, and
will arrive at Milestone Landing in q
few hours.
